Today's 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays puts the Sox 3 games back in the A.L. Central with three to play nearing the completion of their late season meltdown.Just two weeks ago the Sox seemed to have a hold on the division getting out to a 3 game lead after a win over the Tigers on a Monday afternoon makeup game.
You would've thought the Sox could, at the very least, go .500 the rest of the way keeping them in first. Nope. A 3-10 stretch coupled with the Tigers playing their best baseball of the year puts the Sox were they are today and the blame all on them.
The Sox seemed to play uninspired baseball the last few days for their home fans as today was the final home game of the year. The Sox dropped 5 of 7 at home capping their home schedule and providing no excitement for a fan base that was getting ready for postseason play.
Tomorrow will start the final road series in Cleveland. Nothing short of a miracle of the Tigers losing their last three against the Royals and the Sox winning their last three will keep this season alive. Even if that happened, the Sox would have to go to Detroit and play a tiebreaker game against Justin Verlander. Ain't happening.
