Good day to be a Boston sports fan. Patriots epic comeback into Red Sox epic comeback. Scherzer had me ripping out my hair for reals. But thank god Papi found some new juice that works, need him to bail us out for another 5 years.

If Detroit loses this series the starting rotation for the Tigers will probably roll into the clubhouse one day and take down the rest of the team.

What a pitchers duel this series has become. Really uninteresting baseball, and I say that being a hardcore Boston fan.

I find it hilarious how your starting pitching can give up one run in three games and be 1-2 loooool.

You are not a fan. A 1-0 game is one of the most intense things in baseball. I just can't explain it to you unless you care for your team to win.

Boston wins the Scherzer and Verlander starts... Go figure.

To be fair, Bucholz did pitch one of those games. Now, on the subject of John Lackey, I can't explain it.

Standard Tigers. Fantastic starting pitching, and either the bullpen blows it or the offense does fuck all the entire game.

I kinda wonder, how concerned are the Sox that they have barely put up any runs against Tigers starters and how concerned are the Tigers that their run of shut down pitching will continue? This series is really interesting considering if the Sox lose the next game they have to beat Scherzer and Verlander AGAIN.

Bly I would have never pegged you for an MLB fan.

The Sox Tigers series goes back to stomach-churningly close 1 run affairs after Peavey blew the fuck up in game 4. Only having to win 1 of 2 in Fenway makes me thing the Sox can go to the world series regardless of who's pitching.

Well, he pitched, and they hit him around, with two outs a couple of times. His defense (read, Puig and Ellis) didn't help him out.

God, I was so wrong about the Red Sox this year since I didn't expect their team to do much. I thought this was a rebuilding year for their team. Looking forward to this rematch of the 2004 World Series.

depth > stars and scrubs yet again.

outside of ortiz every boston regular with 100+ games played had an ops+ between 110 and 130.

boston had a far below expectation year with pitchers last year, so it's not surprising that those guys rebound.(though lackey seems to have found some magical milkshakes) and their FO is still damn good at finding depth offensive players. so they were not really as bad as last year made it seem.
