Great game. Losing, and Pivetta's last start for the Sox is a great one. Lose the next three games. Only time worth tanking is this last series of the year. I don't want us to tank. I want us to lose the remaining games. Big difference. |

Let’s get Pivetta off the hook and let the bullpen lose this

Quick tankathon check: If the Red Sox lose they clinch no worse than 14th best odds, Boston would be tied if they lose with the Giants win for 12th. Elsewhere, Tigers clinched a playoff spot. Twins are down 2-0 to the Orioles in the 4th if it holds they will be eliminated. Lucky for them, the Royals are losing in the 9th. |

Guerrero might be my new favorite reliever on this team. He's nasty and he'll give up a run at some point, but man his streak has been awesome.

I almost said some may think of that comment as semantics',but... I want them to play their game and try to win. For the sale of the draft, I hope that best effort does not prevail. |

For all you fellas that can tell that the player the Sox pick in next year's draft will end up being better if they lose the next 3 games as opposed to winining the next 3 games (i.e. tanking belief); I got some extra cash and I want to make some money in the stock market. I need that kind of premonitory advice on which stocks to avoid.  How 'bout we root for the team to win until the season ends, and let the future be what it is.....undetermined. Remember, this is going away in 2 days (which may be of some long term health benefit). Ha. |

Thought: If Ceddanne doesn't improve his approach before ST next year, I'm not sure the Sox shouldn't swap one of the "big four" for him on the 26 man for opening day. I think I'd rather see one of the prospects.
I'm expecting to catch flak for this, so OK to let me have it.
Edit: We used to draw the line for Jose Iglesias (then viewed as an elite defender) as "can we live with him if he has a .280 OBP??

I think it's very unlikely that he's not on the roster out of ST, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if he's pushed into a utility role rather than as an everyday guy. |

I mention this as a counter to the contingent that is intent on moving Abreu for pitching... If Ceddanne can't hit a lick, we kinda need Abreu in RF (and a Duran in CF and Abreu in RF isn't half bad). |

Not a finished product, but hey, we have Duran for CF so I'm all for trading him for pitching. |

As part of that contingent, assuming O'Neill gets the QO and Rafaela's hitting just never recovers, O'Neill-Duran-Anthony would work and you can find quality corner outfielders. (Heck, Montgomery or Bleis might be ready in a few years when thinking about the longterm |

Another three-hit game for Vaughn Grissom. Is he 7 for 18 since coming back up?
