The Red Sox are collapsing.

With a loss to the Orioles (LOL) today their Wild Card lead over the Rays is now down to 1.5 games with 9 to play. They're up on the O's right now though in the 2nd game of the doubleheader 6-3. Any Sox fans here worried?

I would be if I were them.

Especially when LACKey takes the hill.

They need Bucholz back.

After Lester, and decent Bedard, they have a bunch of question marks.

I forgot Beckett.

My bad.

I'd kind of like to see it happen though if it does it might make things worse on the Rangers. Be basically the same if Tampa gets the WC but if LAA were to get the WC then that would mean the Rangers would have to play Detroit in round 1. Doesn't really matter because in order to be the best you have to beat the best though they don't play well in that stadium. Maybe they could exercise a few demons?

Let's bump this topic back up to the top of the page. Don't want it to get lost in the sea of new posts that abound in this particular sub-forum.

The Rays are losing to the Yanks again, I see. 4-2, top of 9.

Boston is down by 2 in the 9th

Those pesky Orioles lol

I forgot Beckett.

My bad.

Even Beckett didn't have the best of nights for himself.

It's a team effort it seems.

All the collapse needs is two more losses to become completely epic. Already lost the 10 game September cushion now they need to blow it completely.

Honestly, I think I would rather play the Rays than the Red Sox anyway. Rays are a very good and tough team but they can't score runs like the Sox can. The Sox can get on a roll and just pound teams frontline pitching just like they did a few weeks back in Ranger stadium.

I think the Rays are the tougher team and certainly features some outstanding arms but I think the Rangers can beat them.

Boston and TB is up 2-1.
The Braves are losing 4-0.

Sox got the win tonight and they remain tied for the WC with the Rays.

Ryan Lavarnway was the offensive hero for the Red Sox, belting a pair of homers while driving in four runs.

Interesting Wild Card races. Going into the final day both leagues have 2 teams tied for the Wild Card and the third place team is 3.5 games back. I am so happy that the Cardinals clawed their way back into this thing and have a very good shot at being the Wild Card. Of course, they had 3 very bad losses and still have this opportunity. Goes to show you what a wreck the Braves are right now.
