Black sox Faction

So it's come to watching the twins updates via Gameday or the Fox game on TV. After being blow apart in last nites Cleveland game, the Sox got a break ( abig fucking break) in Kansas city's unexpected win over Minnesota; @ this point, we'll take whatever we can get.

But it doesn't seem that this team wants to win. With four losses in a row when they should be taking it to the other teams is disturbing not just to any chance of winning in the postseason. The distemper and disassociation in the team with the Cabrera and Swisher. the Cabrera deal seems to have been boiling over inthis critiacl time for the team. But swisher - he seemed like such a gung ho guy. To have him down is bad. Although they have their 'fate' in their hands - Sox win out (four total against three teams in four days), they'll play Anaheim.

But they have to win. Last nite, following the Twins loss juxtaposed to the Sox loss, I was encouraged from my own longstanding theory that if enough time in a game/ games off the season happens, maybe just maybe the miracle - and yes, it seems it will take a milagro - can occur. But, as Churchill paraphrased about Dunkirk, "victories are not made from evacuations".

Two to two in thesixt at Minnesota. But it's the Sox that gotta win.
