So can the Sox recover from last night's collapse scout? Were it the Yankees who blew a 10-1 lead like that, lord only knows what kind of foolishness you'd be typing in this thread. I know though, you're an objective person, and fan. I guess, in being objective like yourself, I should be posting about how the Sox's season is over, cuz they blew a 10-1 lead in game 75 out of 162.
I wouldn't though, cuz a loss is a loss, and if they win tonight, which they should, no one remembers what happened yesterday.
The Yankees pen has been terrific over the last 20 games, as has been their team staff, which has a sub 4 ERA over that span. So as much as Frank from Glaucester is a goof, he's not inaccurate. CC & Burnett have been as good as anyone over the last 3-4 weeks. Burnett especially is on a Beckett like tear, where he's given up only 1 run over his last 20+ innings. The bullpen has Bruney back, and really gained steam when they DFA'd Veras, and inserted Hughes. Hughes has been lights out.
At least 1 very good team is not going to make the playoffs. It might be 2 teams, but I don't see a 2nd place team from the central, or west, winning enough games to take the WC. Of course that could change when the divisions start playing each other, and teams in the East are playing tougher games than the other two. Still, the numbers are what they are, and either the Sox, TB, or the Yankees will not be in the playoffs, at a minimum. It could be similar to the Pats, where an 11-5 team goes home after its final regular season game. Are the Pat's pathetic cuz they didn't make it in? Of course not. It's just how the numbers played out.
The Jets are going to win 6 games this year. Who's their QB?
