Injuries or no injuries the other big problem with the Red Sox is chemistry.

6 ERA in September >>>>>>>>>>>>> chemistry

Re: 9/19 - 9/28 Game Discussion Thread

It's crazy how the starting pitching has just collapsed for them, particularly the Beckett/Lester combo. But they just haven't gotten it all together this whole month. When they get a solid pitching performance (rare as it has been) their offense hasn't been there and their defense has been terrible, 20+ errors this month and a slew of plays that weren't errors but could've been made.

Firing Francona would be silly. He's given them 2 WS titles, handles the media pressure in Boston as well as anyone can imagine, and is just one year removed from one of his best managing jobs with that injury-riddled team last year.

Red Sox better win these next two games because TB should probably take these next two with Colon being terrible since the ASB and the Yanks will almost definitely not be playing their regulars tomorrow vs. David Price.

You do know Ellsbury was young, and injured all those other years right? Not played a full season?

My comment makes perfect sense... Granderson benefits from the lineup, as well as Ellsbury benefiting and both going into their prime.

Ellsbury is finally 100% healthy. He is living up to EXACTLY what he has been scouted as his entire career. It is no shock in the baseball world. Really.

Maybe I read the wrong scouting report, because Jacoby being a 30+ homer guy is a shock in my world.

I think it's hilarious that the Yankees can play September call ups if they want to screw over the Red Sox.

Yankees will be playing their regular lineup minus Jeter tonight along with his full compliment of relievers. Tomorrow's game will be Scranton Wilkes Barre vs. Tampa Bay.

And we know how Karma works. Tampa will then unleash hell on them in the playoffs if it outs the Sox.

I cannot wait for Catching Hell tonight. I think it's going to be up there with the best 30 for 30s.

Even with the Braves collapsing, it's not like the Cards deserve to go to the postseason any more than them by losing to Houston.

Lots of time left in that game, though, and just a 1 run difference.

Holliday has left the Cards-Astros game. No word on why yet, he's just sitting on the bench.

If the Astros win today and thus win the series I am going to cry myself to sleep for the next two weeks.
