And we go from last place in the central to 3rd in a matter of a few days. As Hawk would say...keep it up, boys!!!

Are we in this wildcard race?
From what I've read, regarding buying/selling, the Tiggers think they are...and we have a game lead on them. You tell me...
Pretty sure this isn't what you saying, but the Tigers have a owner as old as dirt who wants a world series before he dies. His chips have been all in for a long time with zero regard for long term. I hope the sox don't make a decision on what the Tigers are doing.From what I've read, regarding buying/selling, the Tiggers think they are...and we have a game lead on them. You tell me...
After this series they play the following:
3 vs. Yankees
3 vs. Rays
3 @ Royals
3 vs. Angels
3 vs. Cubs
4 @ Angels
That's a tough 19 game stretch.
After some relief, they've still got the following looming.
3 @ Royals
4 @ Yankees
3 vs. Royals
That's 29 of the remaining 64 games. That's not too bad if we can win 15/29. But that's tough and would also necessitate cleaning up on the Detroit, Cleveland, Minnesota, Oakland, Boston, and Seattle.
In the end, I'd still buy if it's a guy who can help us next year. Could we get someone who can play 3B for Montas (who I don't believe in) and Micah (who I also don't believe in)? Saladino has performed well, but I don't see that lasting long term. I'd love to see him as more of a super-utility man.

Old adage is to never look at the standings unless you are .500 or better.
One more win and we're there! Also doesn't hurt I have sale on the fantasy team to be rooting for it a little extra tonight

Nice night at the ballpark last night. Decent crowd and Sox played well. Melky's on fire right now. Dank's pitched great, but made me anxious when he started walking a few guys.
Yeah, was like 34K+ in attendence. Like Adam Eaton said about Melky, don't touch him, you'll burn yourself! Know what you mean about Danks, but damn, he made Elsbury and Texiera look kinda stupid on a couple swings!:thumb:
good. Sat night game with Yanks in town, I would expect nothing less.
Im going Tuesday night. my youngest boy turns 21 Monday night, and a an acquaintance of mine came thru with 4 tix in the scout section, two rows above that guy with the yellow M&Ms jacket you always see on TV.
We've sat in these seats about 4-5 times before over the years. nice way to experience a game.
fyi, I went to the Cubs-Rockies 1pm game this past Wed aft.
38,000 on a weekday aft.
besides winning 94 games a year, what else must the Sox do to draw 25,000 a game?

Avoid the sweep with a walk-off walk by Avi. Nice.
A W is a W, but the bats going limp after the 1st...not good. Good to see Avi hitting the ball over the last couple games.
