Just got to the computer and am amazed at the Boston breakout on the Astros. This series seems to be good evidence for the argument that the Sox could be a playoff team or a last place AL East team. Thankfully , the Yankees have taken the latter out of the question.
No way can we allow Old Red and Moonslav to be the only sworn debaters on this site. Like a brawl pick your opponent and throw him to the ground like Pedro and the Gerbil
Nobody commented on Martin's season which has been excellent. Unfortunately, he probably is not available for tomorrow and I bet Jansen is out for a while.
But have no fear, Chaim will get a us a closer tomorrow.
Sale will go pretty well for 4 2/3rds, then an error will put a man on second. The next 5 Astro's will break up the 1-1 game with 5 consecutive doubles . If Millar can predict HR's, I can "see" inevitable outcomes.
It's one thing to get beat in a matchup of skills and talent, but to be playing this stupid brand of ball this late in a season is an indictment of the overall preparation and mentality of these guys.
