You wanna deny that if Gio lets up the lead you won't pivot back and say "I was right!"

Overall the pitching has kept the team in the hunt. Not every start. But they have been much better than the incompetent offense.

Clear?

[FredLynn]

Winning run on first base

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could have used at least 6 innings tonight, but also could have used some offense. Well, you can't always get what you want.

[FredLynn]

Gonna walk in the tying run

[FredLynn]

Knew it

BUMS BUMS BUMS

Winning run on 2nd base now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox look like a team that doesn't want their golf interrupted by PO's.

[vegasbob]

They cumulatively have limited skills.

Wilson does exactly the wrong thing after Gio fails in a key game.

[Tedballgame]

Nibble, nibble, nibble. Afraid to throw strikes and an ump who has a strike zone tighter than a drum.

[FredLynn]

Base hit wins the game

Last night's ump had stretch marks.

[FredLynn]

Game over

[Tedballgame]

Great job fielding his position by Wilson. Walks, walks, walks, walks kill you. Terrible pitch.

[FredLynn]

Go Guardians!

These bums just don’t deserve to play ball in October. I hope they flop as usual.

[jad]

Lucky to get the K given that only one of the 5 pitches was in the zone.

[iortiz]

….and there goes the game since this team can’t hit.

Limited skills is much more intelligent than calling them bums.

Is there any real surprise with the makeup of this team?  The lack of grit, leadership and killer mentality.  This group caved like many of th teams under Cora’s direction.

You do realize that half your posts are repetitious.

Tomorrow they’ll complete the choke by getting swept. It’s what this franchise does. CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE, FLOP FLOP FLOP.

At least Cora and Breslow will likely get canned.

No sense of accountability to their manager or one another

Only half? I have work to do

They just don’t have the talent. I blame Breslow for not bringing in the players we needed. 

[FredLynn]

Guardians now up 2-0

[FredLynn]

Here comes a Story GIDP

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Now why can't the A's reliever walk in a run, then give up a slow roller that the middle infield can play pinball with until the Sox re-take the lead...

How many TV's do you have in the basement?

[Tedballgame]

That's a huge break. Have to take advantage of that error.
