Milkman delivers Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 10:20 AM) As long as the Tigers win two games the rest of the season, the Sox will have to win out. Seems possible. If the Tigers win just one game, the Sox only have to go 14-1 to take this thing. That's merely a .933 winning percentage, which I think we can pull off since he have yet to hit our real hot streak this season. Take a look at the Tigers' remaining schedule. It's no cakewalk and they're sure to fall apart as they're so prone to do (that one time in 2006). Our destiny is in our own hands. I think as long as we show nothing but support and really get the positive mojo flowing, there's just about nothing that can stop us. OK, so we didn't get it done today. But as I said above, we are still in this thing. Please, nothing but positive thoughts, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine Peavy in the postseason? I'm sure there's no one that would be better in a postseason game than he would be. Eh, as you've said, this year's AL playoffs are going to be about the offenses and that's why NOBODY wants to face us. With the power that Dunn and Rios supply in the heart of order, we have a real good shot at taking the American League pennant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't root for them, as last thing we need is for that organization to gain even more momentum. Lots of things going well for them the last year or so.

Well IMO there are only 2 likable teams left in contention and they're the Angels and Rays who are on the outside looking in right now. If either of those 2 make it then I root for them, if not, then I cheer for anyone but the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 04:11 PM) Why has he failed so much this year? Did you even read my post? Rookie, second year as a pitcher. And failed so much?? How so?? Up to today he has 5 blown saves and ridiculous numbers. Hitters are hitting .164 off of him and he has a 1.02 WHIP. He has the second best K/9 of any closer in baseball. The guy is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the Rangers. To be honest, I've never really despised the Yankees as much as everyone else but they're still not "likable" to me.
