    Those who thought the SOX would split this 3 game series were proven wrong.

    Gotta gain on MN for that WC slot.

    37-32 MIN
    35-34 BOS -2.0
    33-35 DET -3.5
    33-35 TOR -3.5
    33-36 TBR -4.0
    32-35 TEX -4.0
    31-38 HOU -6.0

    (KC at 40-30 might still be catchable. I doubt BAL is at 45-23.)

    Exactly. Much as I deplore the worst defense in MLB, hitting does come first.

    No excuse. Splitting a series is so simple. Just win one, lose one, and tie one.

    Yes, right after pitching.

    Houck maybe didn't look as sharp this game? I didn't get a chance to watch it last night but he still walked nobody and only gave up 1 extra base hit. Did the phillies just bunch a ton of singles together to get 3 runs or was Houck lucky?

    If this was him on a down day then he's going to be good still.

    The extra rest might have affected him a bit, but yeah, if this is one of his bad ones it's pretty good.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    2 groundball singles sandwiched around a HBP, then Schwarber rocked a dbl to the base of the RF-CF wall that cleared the bases.

    Basically, one big hit.

    Houck looked very good, to me.

    Great 2 games and series win, very unexpected against the Filet's pitching. Goes back to something noticed last year and in April. When the bottom of the lineup, 6-9, who went 6-13 ,can contribute a few hits, this team will score and win. No doubt O'Neill's 3 run blast was a backbreaker for the Fils . I would certainly shop O'Neill near the deadline and see what he brings.

    Now on to the Yankees , another big test. Take the first one behind Bello and see what happens.

    I saw this tidbit today:

    "Over the last three weeks the Red Sox have been 26-26, 27-27, 28-28, 29-29, 30-30, 31-31, 32-32, 33-33, and 34-34."

    Since Boston is now 35-34, logic says they will lose two out of three to the Yanks and get back to 36-36.
