IamtheHBOMB Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Is it some rule that the Sox have to be terrible in August and September? This is so frustrating to watch. Edited August 15, 2010 by IamtheHBOMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) So, 3 back of the Twins coming into a 3 game series in Minny. Basically, we play like we usually do in Minny and that's the division. Yup. Anything short of winning the series would put this team on life support.

elrockinMT Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) The upgrade from Blackburn to Duensing is like going from Thome to Kotsay as your DH....but the exact opposite. Good one and sadly it's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're right there with Oakland and Toronto...and well ahead of Seattle and the Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but somehow those losses never seem to hurt them as much. I predicted suckdom for them when they got rid of Santana. Didn't pan out like I thought.

Some pathetic at bats with RISP as well. That is an understatement. I was at the last game in the Twins series. The crowd checked out after the first time the team left the bases loaded. Konerko, in particular, has looked like s***. Anything low and in to him results in a swing and a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
