    When you lose 5 straight games, your closer needs work. Unless you'd like him to come in shaky in a close game because he hasn't pitched for a week. But then at least you could complain about Abreu not having pitched enough.

    Abreu was going to pitch today no matter what the score was. It's the same reason Hader pitched in 4 run games in April and May.

    Abreu hadn't pitched in 5 days, and this was a must win game. Y'all find something else to complain about.

    Bottom 1/3 of the lineup went 3-12, with 3 BB, 1 RBI and 6 runs scored

    G1 Brown vs Williams (Tuesday)
    G2 Valdez vs Bibee (Wednesday)
    G3 Javier vs Messick (Thursday)

    That's what we are looking at. If it even happens.

    4 for 48 with RISP during that dreadful 7 game losing streak vs the A's

    Tigers 3-0.

    Ouch.

    We are toast.

    If Detroit wins, Boston must lose. Even then our chances are at about 5%.

    It's funny how the biggest complainers keep demonstrating they are even stupider than the person they keep complaining about.

    Since when is the bottom of the order supposed to drive in runs?

    Unless you had a different point?

    Either way we're f'd. We would have to win out and hope either Det sweeps Boston or Boston beats Detroit twice. And that's if Boston loses today.

    Any chance Framber could fill in for an inning on Sunday if necessary?

    It's been, what, 3 years since we watched a game at Pluckers?

    Not complaining.

    Astros think they can scoreboard watch even though they blew 2 games to the A's. Today's win is too little, too late. Don't cancel your Cancun hotels Astros.

    It’s funny how all you do is try to piss on other posters.

    Well they lost every meaningful tiebreaker. Which now requires sweeping the Angels to even have a chance.

    lol @ Astros fans on Twitter saying they're back in. Astros were bound to break their 7 game losing streak to the A's. A's probably gave us mercy. Even the Rockies would have a hard a time losing 8 straight games to the Dodgers. This means nothing.

    It’s unlikely but Texas winning the series against Cleveland would also get us in.
