It's getting late in Sept., so what fight do we see from our opposing teams?  The Rangers have dropped three in a row, but they are only one game behind Houston for the outright lead in the ALWest.  Also they are tied with the Jays for a WC slot.

As far as the Sox, gawd only knows what fight they have left.  I supposed the several rookies they have up will play all out.

WHERE are Verdugo, Turner and Yoshida?
WHY are they not in the lineup?

ARE they even trying to win games???

Sox are sadly 5 - 15 in their last 20 games.
WTF -

[BoSoxFanNY]

How do you like that?
Red Sox actually win a game.
Red Sox 4 - Rangers 2

It was tough to see Ceddanne get contorted going to the wall.  But he's learning.  Refsnyder likes lefty pitchers, and he was the clutch hitter no doubt.  Nice game for Bobby D tonight.

Nice to win one. Good to see Crawford recover and pitch 6. Bobby D gets a couple of hits, including one with 2 strikes. Almost hits one out. Good showing.

Yeah, Ceddanne's slip looked like it hurt quite a bit.

I wonder what Boche's comments on not bringing a righty to face Refsnyder were?
