Swingandalongonetoleft Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) v. Francisco Liriano (5-11 5.37) Chris Sale (16-6 2.88) at Esmeralda Vasquez (0-1, 9.35) Sox take a temporary break from padding Detroit's Win column to visit the final resting place of Brett Favre's career.

cabiness42 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 That certainly changes things, doesn't it. Not really, because if the Sox can't beat a pitcher named Esmerelda with an ERA over 9 with any of their starting pitchers, then they don't deserve to win this division.

This. But I am fairly confident these boys know what's at stake and will steamroll the Twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, nobody "deserves" to win any division. The team that ends up with the most wins wins it. St. Louis didn't "deserve" to win the 2006 NLC with 83 wins by your reasoning, either.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Come one Sale, the only way to win 20 games this year is to win the rest of the starts. It begins tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last 3 games plus the blackout game made it deserving for me.

Scored two in the upper deck behind home plate, like row 10 or something. So awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team seemed to want to give it away as the season went on, but somehow, they pulled it out. Would love this season to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
