Kudos to ERod, Richards, and Cora (or letting GR finish). Cora detractors may argue he had no choice, since Whitlock and Otto were used Wed, but old fans can appreciate a manager who knows to ride a hot arm to nail down a big win -- and go against the modern book of contriving different relievers for the 8th and 9th when there's no guarantee if either will "be on" on any given night.

 

When he brought in Richards in the 7th, my son and I looked at each other and wondered who'd pitch the 8th and 9th; we could only predict Davis and Robles. It was the best and worst we could come up with.

This team has grit.

 

Sure, they looked like they lost focus and energy for a bit, but the grit is still there.

Even Nostradamus would have lost money trying to predict baseball.

True. He was much better at predicting end of the world stuff and not end of the season standings.

I believe Nosty predicted the 2004 SOX would lose to the Yankems in the playoffs.
