* The Red Sox lost 3 of 4 to the Twins this weekend. Friday and Saturday’s losses were the toughest, as the Sox had a chance to win and blew it. Friday, Lavarnway hit a double in the bottom of the 9th with two outs, but Middlebrooks grounded out. On Saturday, the Sox were up 4-2 heading into the 9th inning when Aceves blew the save, and the Sox loss 6-4.
* Crawford and Gonzalez were the stars of the weekend. Crawford went 7/18 with 2 doubles, a home run, a stolen base, and 5 RBIs. Gonzalez went 6/14 with a double, a home run, and 5 RBIs. Fans- lay off them.
* Saltalamacchia now reminds me of Adam Dunn from last year. It seems he either hits a home run or strikes out (I know that is not literally the case, but it appears to be that way).
* Both Ciriaco and Aviles had home runs this weekend. Who would’ve thought?
* I really don’t understand why Twins, Royals, Brewers, and Cardinals games are blacked out on MLB.TV. I understand Chicago, since that’s the closest team. I didn’t get to watch a single game this weekend.
* Can we call this team cooked yet? I’m beginning to think that the season is over for them. Yes, they are not in last place, but they are close. Unless the Sox go on some dramatic run the next two months, I think it’s safe to say the Red Sox will not be making the playoffs this year. I’m still a tiny bit optimistic that the Sox can pull something off, but the team is not consistent and hasn’t been all year.
