Red Sox Panic Thread

sinkhole, you've had a ton of opportunities that you've let slip through your fingers the past few weeks.

I want to see the Yanks sweep today because I still would love to see 100 wins (especially in what to be a down year). My guess is that you will end the day ties with the Sox but then need to find a way to win against half a Yankee lineup three days in a row. The wildcard will go to whoever doesn't want it less. It won't matter as neither the Rays nor the Sox will make it through the first round.

We sure have missed some chances to a make a move and now we are faced with one last push. Win or lose this is a great learning experience for the kids. The 5 starters have carried this team, we should be nowhere near a playoff spot with our lack of hitting and all the rookies Maddon plays. The future is bright.

I would be worried about the Yanks in the first round after CC. Detroit and Texas can rake. I thought Nova was great vs Tampa the other night. He has a lot of poise but asking him to be a #2 playoff horse could be interesting.

True. But Yanks can also rake. They have scored 100 more runs than the Tigers. And most of that was done without Montero in the lineup at Dan Hurley. The Tigers or Rangers will have their hands full with the Yanks too.

I would love to see a wild card tie and a one game playoff between Sox and Rays. Tampa won the coin toss so it'd be down there. At minimum I hope Yanks win one today and Rays win. Then it'd be one game out with 3 to play. And sinkhole would have to hope the Yanks lay down a bit instead of laying the smack down like they did last week.
