Can they find enough wins?
Happy Monday. The Red Sox took two games from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend. And nearly had the sweep until the bullpen unraveled. Again.
Remember Andrew Bailey Magic?
That brings Boston to 72-71, 10 games back in the division, 5.0 games back in the Wild Card. FanGraphs playoffs odds down to 6.4%.
The White Sox played Boston 7 times this season and won 3 games. They have 33 wins total. Out of their 144 games this season: 4.86% came against the Red Sox. Out of their 33 wins: 9.1% came against the Red Sox.
Remembering 2004
Game 141: Cruising to a 9-0 victory against the Seattle Mariners. 86-55. Bronson Arroyo out-dueled Jamie “Old Man” Moyer.
Game 142: A 2-0 loss to Seattle as Derek Lowe couldn’t match a complete game shutout from…Gil Meche. 86-56
Game 143: A 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Carl Crawford played in the game but the stolen bases by Tampa were from B.J. Upton, Julio Lugo, and Tino Martinez. Scott Kazmir would pitch six shutout innings while Pedro Martinez would allow 2 runs over 6 of his own.
Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
