    And more good news is the SOX will remain on the road thru the weekend. Very strange when one wants his team to stay on the road.

    Betts it hitting .258 in August, so not exacting leading the charge to a wild card spot

    The SOX are road warriors and home wimps.

    Well we are definitely doing our part. We have won 8of our last 11 games. You can’t do much better than that. Now we just have to hope Oakland keeps losing. We also have a four-game series coming up with Tampa that will be crucial. Still a speck of light at the end of the tunnel

    I watched a little of this game. Rockie's starting pitcher was typically hideous. Had two pitches and didn't know how to throw one of them.

    Look TREVOR, that is not how you throw a Change. My God I was not a pitcher and I know that is not how you throw a Change.

    What kills me about guys throwing Changes without pronating is that all of us that played the game for any length of time pronate all the time. Watch Walker in the NESN booth or on the studio panel talk with his hands. He is pronating his wrists all the time whether his old glove hand or his throwing hand because that is what guys do throwing the ball unless a pitcher throwing a pitch that does not require it. However just throwing a baseball around the infield or from outfield to infield is always best done with some pronation. They have thrown so many baseballs by the time they get into their 40's and 50's that talking with their hands becomes just more pronating. Its muscle memory by then. They always look like they are trying to push through a revolving door.

    I no longer know how some of these guys get to the MLB as pitchers except to say there are simply not enough actual pitchers to go around at this point.

    Might I remind you of the 2011 Wild Card race in both leagues? A September to Remember, just not for us...
