So will the Red Sox again blow it today?

[joeybee12]

I'm betting yes. Uehera picked a great time to start choking.

1. No worries - the odds caught up with them. Not happy about it, but

something like that was inevitable.

My main worries - Farrell's decisions:

to pitch to Longoria (hasn't he been getting big hits for years - and they NEVER walk him!)
why not have someone steal 3rd base?
Why let Drew hit a power throwing left hander (Bogaerts was wasted)
Why not start the inning with Workman instead of (argggh) Morales?

He's gotta be sharper than that tonight.

Still feeling great about it - we can't win em all (no team does!)

4. Nope, Tampa in five...

Bet on it.

[trumad]

11. so you're picking Tampa?

[joeybee12]

17. Yup, I have no choice...the baseball Gods have decided it...nt

[Auggie]

2. I think they'll win

Their line-up is too deep, and Hellickson has been too inconsistent.

[joeybee12]

6. Tampa in five...

That's what I say, and I'm sticking with it.

[Auggie]

7. I'm good with that

[joeybee12]

8. Because you're EVIL!

You hate everything that is good and decent, like the Red Sox!!!

I also think Oakland in five...can't see Detroit losing 2 at home.

[Auggie]

13. You forget -- Detroit is good at losing multiple home playoff games

Last year? World Series? Giants sweep?

If they weren't playing the Athletics I'd be for Detroit all the way.

[joeybee12]

18. But they beat Satan....

Last year they had the seventh best record in the AL...they were over-rated and SF was playing great at the right time.

[trumad]

12. dude...you have no reverse pick power.

[Auggie]

14. Good catch

Okay ... I think Boston will win today but I'd like them to lose in five.

[joeybee12]

23. You're right, I have none, because the Rays really, really, really will beat the Red

Sox in five...absolutely...bet the farm on it.

[TZ]

3. I hope so...

Though with the Barves out of the playoffs I'm feeling slightly more mellow towards them

[joeybee12]

5. You've gone a long time...and STILL...

You're as EVIL AS EVER!!!!

[TZ]

9. LOL

Me evil? Come on, I still hate the Yankees!

[joeybee12]

10. One redeeming quality does not make up for the mortal sin...

Of NOT LOVING the Red Sox!!!!

[TZ]

15. Well

if Red Sox coworker didn't insult my Nats all the time calling them scrubs and insulting my boy Jayson Werth (whom I sort of met this year, woohoo!) I wouldn't hate them as much. Having to listen to Red Sox this n that every day is tiresome..

[joeybee12]

16. I wouldn't insult the Nats...

Satan and Satan West, of course, but otherwise I am insult free!

[TZ]

19. Satan West?

BWAHAHAHAHA. I wonder who you could be referring to... Hmmm

[joeybee12]

20. Yup, they're out-Sataning Satan!

Double the Red Sox payroll, and the Red Sox have a pretty big one, too.

[TZ]

21. Ha!

I think I wanna use Satan South for the Atlanta Braves. They sure act like it..

[joeybee12]

22. I can't hate the Braves...they always end up under-achieving...nt
