Robert has blown a couple of games misplaying balls at the wall. He’s been terrible the last two weeks.

Normally, yeah, but with the Sox I'm not sure Cooper doesn't make all pitching decisions anyway. I think he did when Ozzie was there too. That's why no established manager would come here. They don't want to be forced to have Kenny's housemen like Coop and Boston on their staffs.

The pitching staff has been good this year with several arms performing well out of the bullpen. That said if Don Cooper gets to be pitching coach for life how were the last 12 years allowed? Was that only because of the offense?

an analyst could have done the same thing for Ozzie as his lead dwindled away at the end of 2005.

yeah, I said it

2005!

I really hate pitchers who can't throw strikes. Give me the quick paced guy who lives in the strike zone every time over the erratic hard thrower. Guys get themselves out if you let them in the overwhelming majority of at bats.

14 game lead dissipated to something like 5 in the second half

It got down to a game and a half, and that's partly because Cleveland was playing near .700 baseball after the All-Star break.

The Sox still won. Finish 3-2 and they probably win this year's division as well.

Will never forget that Crede walkoff HR to beat Cle.. Almost 15 years ago to the day.

With respect to this year's Sox, they're going to have a daunting 1st round matchup, regardless. They either win the division and likely play Cle (2-seed vs 7-seed), or drop the division to Minny and play NYY (4-seed vs 5-seed). Personally Cle is scarier to me because of their SP, and the fact that Sox are 2-6 against em. But NYY has that BP and theyve been red hot recently.

3 seed would be fine

They're not gonna get the 3-seed, though. They either lose enough games to allow Minny to take the division and finish as a 4, or finish up strongly enough to hold on to the division and keep the 2-seed. Oak is 0.5 games back of the Sox, has nothing to play for - would you rather play Cle in the first round or the hated Astros? - and still has 2 more games against LAD.

Don't stop now, boys


please

Thank God Biebs is gone

This offense is beyond anemic right now.

Gio Gonzalez in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game where he has to face at least three batters?

Is Ricky betting on Cleveland?
