Red Sox magic number is 3!
8-1 on the road trip. Not too shabby.

...lots of games on the Internet....just have to do a search and winnow through the selections until you find the free broadcasts.....
Ugly, ugly game for my Sox today. Sale was awful. Shades of Clayton Kershaw in the playoffs awful.
I will be happy if we don’t get swept out of the first round. Hopefully, Pomeranz can salvage a win tomorrow.

Ugh, Game 2 was worse than game 1 
The one good thing that is likely to come out of being swept again is that it should result in John Farrell getting fired. That should have happened 3 years ago.

Red Sox gone. D-Backs gone. Hopefully it will be a Dodgers/Indians World Series... With the Dodgers taking it all.
As long as it’s not the Yankees I dont’care who wins it.
Hoping the Sox early exit leads to Farrell getting the boot. He should have been gone three years ago. However, it would have been bad form to fire someone going through chemo.
Just like football, I have never seen a baseball game either.
But I like the movie " Babe" with Goodman very much.

Why are we still talking about baseball? The postseason is over since the Sox got eliminated. At least for me it is.
Aaaaand he's gone. I wish him well in his future endeavors. Now maybe we can get someone on the same level that Tito was.
Francona never should have been fired from the Sox in the first place.
I’m hoping they give Varitek a shot.
The Yankees eliminated the Indians in game 5. Shocker. Now I’m hoping for a Dodgers/Yankees World Series. That should be fun.
Bite your tounge! The Astros are going to treat The Crankmes like the Balrog. “You shall not pass!”
You bet your sweet bippy......and a Dodgers win!
My uncle played on both the Brooklyn and LA Dodgers, and the Yankees. But he really enjoyed being part of the Dodgers, and the Dodgers are my wife's family's team. When we got married her father, the self-described greatest Dodger fan ever, was really excited when he found out my uncle would be at the wedding. At the reception he didn't care one bit about us and spent the entire time talking to my uncle about baseball and his favorite players of all time. My father-in-law says it was the greatest day of his life... Nothing to do with us getting married, but rather the chance to talk baseball with a favorite player of his.

One of the few good memories I have with my dad is watching the Dodgers win the 1981 World Series..... what a team they had back then!
Tell me about it! I hear about that series almost every week from the father-in-law... And their losses in 1977 & 1978 World Series to the Yankees. The FIL hates the Yankees. The Dodgers/Yankees rivalry was one of the best rivalries in MLB history, when the Dodgers were located in Brooklyn. The two teams have met eleven times in the World Series. An even dozen sounds good to me.
I'd LOVE to see Tek as the Sox skipper. He's got a good baseball mind, and he's not that far removed from his playing days so I think there'd be more respect for him among the players. Plus, catchers make the best coaches/managers. They're the smartest players on the field. The fact that I played behind the plate all my life has on bearing on me making this statement!

Watching John Lackey pitch last night was like watching paint dry. I was glad when Turner homered just so I didn't have to sit through anymore of his delays. It took him 5 full minutes to throw 6 pitches to Chris Taylor before Turner put an end to things.
