Having a 10.5 game lead gives you a lot of flexibility.

True but we don't know if it is a legit injury or just Boston resting him some more. If it is legit, it is concerning

Yep. If the Yankees play .640 ball the Sox need to win 16 games to win the East.

Sox are not going to bring Sale back for 1 start then send him back to the DL. It is obviously something that's bothering him. I would be a little concerned about a Sox fan. Don't want your best pitcher having shoulder issues with the playoffs a little more than a month away

Most likely true but Sale said it feels better than when he first went to the DL. Could be major, but it could be just a way to preserve him for the playoffs.

Get the brooms out the yanks are going for a sweep of the Jays today

 

[Pure Steel]

I'd still hit it farther than Torreyes.

Went 3 for 4 today, cold off the bench.....

Noticed Sale was injured. Hoping it's just a week or 2 injury and not something long term.

Why in the world would ESPN select Yankees/O's as their SNB game next week?

Because it the Yankees.

Not really. Yankees rarely play shit teams on SNB and the O's are never on SNB. Just weird that they put that team on national tv.

IMO More people will tune in to the Yankees than any other team. I'm not one of those people.

You sure about that?

Way-too-early Red Sox-Indians playoff preview

 

[Manster7588]

You sure about that?

About Me or more people?
About me yes 100% sure. About more I'm also fairly sure, as the Yankees have the largest fan base, and there are those who will also tune with hope they see them lose.
The same mind set with the Cowboys in the NFL.

The stations goal is viewers and the best game isnt always their best option.

I don't have a link as this is just my uneducated opinion.

LOLZ.

Red Sox place Sale on DL just before this week's series against the Indians to spare him another embarrassing episode of being bent over a barrel in front of a home crowd.

Fucking pussies.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Hats off to Boston , problem is this team has experienced NO slump. You would hate that to happen come PS!

Why? That would be funny as hell.

Must be nice to play in the AL Central where any team can get fat and happy off the other slop.

It sure is. Indians might not even be a playoff team in the other two AL divisions, but as it is, they've been able to deal with injuries/ineffectiveness of BP, and still be coasting to the division title. Just have to get hot at the right time and steamroll through October.

I don't understand what that has to do with the Red Sox/Sale ducking the Indians this week, though.
