Another appearance of "You gotta be bleepin me" regarding Inge's foul ball home run.

Chris Sale has been a stud. Oh and I love lamp.

Dennis?

KC has closed to within 1 run. You can all thank chris getz and his perfectly executed sacrifice for that last run.

Yeah and left hoping for the Royals to win is not a good spot to be in. Win 7 in a row and still stay 3.5 games out. That sucks.

The Sox look real good in their latest S_T_R_E_T_C_H ...going 8-2 over their last 10. They can't help what Minnesota does and it seems they have not let the pressure of being in the final few weeks get to them. Some teams might watch the scoreboard and lose a bit of focus as the # of games is diminished and the pressure increases. But Ozzie seems to have the club focused and the relief pitching has been better of late. Jenks and Sale have had some big performances of late. That kid looks like one hell of a draft choice. I really doubt the Sox can catch the Twins. To do so, they likely will have to go about 18-7 over the final 25 games (assuming the Twins win at their seasonal rate and not the higher rate they have played in the 2nd half and especially of late). But even if the Sox fall short, if they continue to battle as they have of late, they will be able to hold their heads high and know they didn't give up.

The Sox don't have to go 18-7 to win the division. Does anyone really believe that? Hell, if they take 2 of 3 in the series against Minnesota, they've only got to make up 2.5 games. Steve keeps posting the fallacy that the Twins are going to finish with the same percentage they currently have as if that's a fact. It's not even likely. I don't know if the Sox can catch the Twins. I'd sure rather be the team 3.5 in front. But it clearly isn't the insurmountable task that idiots like Steve and li'l danny bernstein want to make it out to be.

7-0 on the road is great. I still expect the Twins to come back to Earth. I would love to see a Padres stretch from them.
