Sox about the sweep the Tigers. Anyone else see it all crashing down for them?

 

I've been thinking this for a while. Had my doubts when the Sox were down 10 games but the thought never left my mind. Kenny Williams made a good point on PTI on Friday (I think it was Friday). He said something along the lines of "we almost blew a 15 game lead last year so we know no lead is safe."

[Laura]

Nice!

[PrimeTime]

Yea lets always start Neifi Perez and not Theriot, since theriot just doubled and was 3 for 3 last time... Keep sticking to your boyfriends Dusty

Wow. I knew Marmol walked a bunch of guys but I didn't realize he walked 8 and the Cubs have allowed 10 walks on the day. I guess it's not surprising that the Cubs have walked the most batters in the majors this year.

Yup-what was shocking to me was how easy it all was. It was pretty easy for the Rockies to stand up there and walk all day when few pitches get even close to the plate. It seemed like that one batter he would throw 3-4 strikes in the at bat, and then walk the next guy on 4-5 pitches where very few if any were borderline pitches-and that seemed to happen all day long.
