Dear Ryan Sweeney, Getting picked off when you're only a step and a half away from the bag isn't good, especially when the pitcher has a mediocre-at-best move.

[BigSlick]

I'm getting the sinking feeling that the Red Sox might not win the World Series this year.

[RedSoxAnni]

I'm getting the sinking feeling that the Red Sox may finish under .500 this year.

Nope... I said 84 wins before the season started and I am sticking to my guns.

Anyone else think we need a good old fashioned bench clearing brawl to light a fire under their @$$es?

[FishCake]

Looked liked a tie at the bag, but at this point...whatever.

Do you need to be consoled?

Down by 3 in the 9th inning with one guy on base and facing the shift is a situation that Ortiz HAS to bunt in... but he doesn't.

[Whitey McMoonburn]

Why didn't Gonzalez go to 2nd on that roller to the dugout? Are you kidding me?

[Cambridge]

Dear Adrian Gonzalez, when the ball gets away from the catcher and rolls 30 feet, you're allowed to run to the next base. Thanks.

[Whitey McMoonburn]

Ballgame. We are drizzling shizz.

That's not Adrian Gonzalez, it's Manny Ramirez in disguise.

Hey at least he learned to switch hit. Somewhat.
