Home field baby!

[User Name]

Sox are proud owners of homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

[redsoxrules]

Yeah!! Homefield

[VA Sox Fan]

YES!! Home Field babies!!!

Looks like the A's tried to mount some sort of comeback at the end. Bell was right though. I had so many pages open trying to follow both games that I confused the Cleveland score with the A's score.

 

Presuming it is Oakland/Detroit in one series that should be fun to watch along with our own series.

[Thunder]

So much college football.... I'm going all out with NCAA tonight, because I'm going to stop watching football for the whole month of October. Plus this Sox game isn't that entertaining tbh.

[Brennan]

Yay Brandon Snyder!

[SeanJohn93]

Anyone hear about the sox going after the Cuban detector Abreu? He is supposed to have raw power and he already worked out for the sox. In an article I read he could be Ortiz's eventual replacement at DH and the sox can keep Napoli as well.

[VA Sox Fan]

Well if we are gonna start sitting everyone and pitching Thornton then....

 

 

Come on Seattle!!!!

 

I just can't handle the idea of any team with Cockhole Crisp getting the better of us.

 

Yay Brandon Snyder!

 

Having a bad day? Negativity and stupid nicknames on such a great day?

[SoxSport]

Home field, now best record in Baseball with 1 win. Farrell MOY. That bench coach Lovello deserves something. That pitching coach Nieves, too.

 

So I turn on MLB channel, and guess what game is on? Yankees-Astros. Screw NY.

Ha. The As have had trouble beating the Mariners all year.

[Brennan]

Crisp doesn't even play for us.

[VA Sox Fan]

Crisp doesn't even play for us.

 

I know that. Why the Coco hate?

[Brennan]

Come on VA, all is fine.

[Bellhorn04]

Lester off the hook.

[Bellhorn04]

Nava 4 for 4 off lefties tonight.

[Brennan]

Nava is having himself a game here.

[Bellhorn04]

This scheduling this year has really produced some ridiculous results. It doesn't matter any more, but the Yankees finishing against Houston and Detroit against the Marlins? What ********.

[jung]

It does sort of seem that with the exception of this series here...where you could make the case that O's/Sox should have been a more meaningful series, the others are kinda' whacked. Guardians got the Twins...nothin' going on there and the Guardians have not played anybody in weeks. Rangers got Angels I think..Nothing there but it should have been a meaningful series. A's got the Mariners....nothing there. Rays got Jays...should have meant something. There again just bad luck I guess. Yankees/Astros...there is a joke for you. But I never thought the Skanks were going anywhere this year. Tigers got the Marlins??? Please!!!!

 

Boy Uncle Bud's retirement was long overdue. There is really lots to fix and schedule issues being one. The tiebreaker which we avoided is whacked. What the hell does inter-division record have to do with trying to pick between two teams with the best overall records? That is just stupid! You could maybe make a case for intra-division. The way it is now is so irrelevant and senseless.

[Bellhorn04]

A 3-way wild card tie would be hilarious. Pretty unlikely though. I hope the Rays and Rangers have to play off at least.

Absolutely Bell. That would have been hilarious. Another egg on their faces moment for the powers that be in baseball.

[BornToRun]

It feels weird keeping track of this game and knowing that it truly does not matter at all.

[Bellhorn04]

Selig has made a series of gimmicky moves that have probably been good for the bottom line but bad for the actual competition.

[Bellhorn04]

True. I was sort of hoping they'd get 99 wins which would have tied the 1978 team. But it doesn't matter.

[jung]

I agree Bell. Plus anything that dents the 162 which was always supposed to be sacred in baseball just makes no sense. Baseball has tried too hard to preserve the sanctity of the 162 to turn it into a joke now. Becomes hard to take them seriously about anything once they start screwing with stuff that they have protected for so long.

 

I think for sure, they have pushed interleague way too far...to the point where we have interleague going on all the way up to the end up the year. Just messes up the schedule too much. Honestly I just don't care about seeing the Sox play so many games cross league...I just don't. I would much prefer more games between the league contestants.

We are still really struggling to get the ball to Koji. I know I said it a week or two ago but I think we are going to put a lotta' pressure on Demps in the post season.

[jung]

Jeez Johny Ya gotta at least try to foul that off man. Can't just let it go by for strike 3.

[Station 13]

Farrell stealing outs, in a try out game for other relievers.

These losses to the O's are infuriating. It's like they get sucker punch in all of them.

[SoxSport]

Tazawa hasn't been reliable for awhile. Can't trust him in hi leverage situations. Dempster should get a shot at setup.
