We have a couple of games with Toronto coming up - always a potential nightmare. And then 4 more with the Rays to end the week.

The hitting has been varying from non-existent to slamming but the pitching has been atrocious. The starting pitching has gone 5 innings or less in 9 of the last 11 games. Not that their replacements have faired any better.

And so the angst of being a Red Sox fan continues.

Who wound up the Tigers? They are playing super ball these days.

Yes, Detroit is playing some great baseball. I have been interested in their progress since watching them in interleague play vs. my Giants.

What youy are feeling about the Red Sox is so like what I am going through with SF. Although, I think the Red Sox can pick up the pieces at this point.

With as hot as AZ is right now in our conference, and SF just not having any offensive consistency, I am having a hell of a time believing we will get to the post season. My guess is that this week, the math will determine this. But, I will watch every last game and stick with my guys as I have since
1958. My team, is my team!

I am looking foreward to what I think will be a fantastic post-season in the game. Have to see if my predictions come true- right now the Phillies & Tigers just seem like they are on their way to the WS. But, I can't count out the Dbacks as a major contender in the NL. They have some big time talent and heart going on out here in the West.
