They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Oakland is not nearly as bad as many people thought they would be. There are four other MLB team with worse records, and the .370 winning percentage would put them in at 60 wins.
34-58 .370
Home 22-25
Away 12-33
The Red Sox swept 3 in Oakland where the A’s are far better than on the road, and that said, I feel like a sweep is in order considering how bad they play on the road.

Red Sox are on a roll, everything is looking up, beating good teams, playing an awful team.
I predict an Oakland sweep.
Joking. Hopefully the Sox can get a nice sweep here. This was what I've been hoping for. Rip off a ton of wins or losses and pick a direction. Looks like playoff contention it is. Team is a lot better than expected and will only get better once Casas returns and finds his stroke again. This team can use a Jake Peavy type trade.

Brent Rooker had a very bad first week of the season when the Red Sox last faced Oakland - going 2 for 21 with a 57% K rate. Since then he is slashing .291/.368/.567 with 18 home runs in just under 300 plate appearances

If the Sox win both series this week ( 2 of 3) they win enter the AS break on a 91 win pace. That is a 6 games improvement over same time last year. Good stuff !!
I like sweeps when it is not wishful thinking to hope so. Therefore I'm in on the lets sweep em vote !!!
Looking forward to the Royals series, it would be a good opportunity to give Wink and Criswell the Saturday/ Sunday starts and give Bello even more rest.

Sox 4.5 behind the stankees. Sox are at home against Oak and KC. stankees are on the road against TB and Baltimore. Thinking we could cut that down to 2.5 behind them. Hope I`m being conservative.

Power rankings are nothing more than engagement bait... change my mind

Did they rank the Yankees at 5 because they won 5 games in the last three weeks?

Is this Sox team starting to feel like a “Cardiac Kids” redux? Very similar vibes on many levels.

Red Sox are 29-17 away and 20-23 at home.
The 2nd record needs to change starting tomorrow and they’ll be playing October baseball.

Let 'em keep underestimating / ranking.....whatever. It is more fun that way.  We'll see on day 162, then we can worry about where we are ranked. I like this team's chances. |

Assuming Criswell is being called up? Chris Cotillo was speculating the Wintenger guy they traded for from Detroit |
