You must be pissed off knowing you still have to go through Scherzer and Verlander at this point, right?

lol

Verlander is still very good. Top 3 when on his game. Detroit got shut down pretty hard as well but they managed a run so they win.

We move on to game 2. Why would I be pissed off? I don't let my feelings get wrapped up in these games as they mean 0 to me unless I am betting on them. Sure I like it when my team wins but when they lose they lose. I can't control any of that. Whoever wins wins. It doesn't effect me either way.

Scherzer and Verlander very good and can be a tough matchup but they aren't unbeatable and last I checked you have to win 4 games to win a series. Right?

Detroit has a better heart of the order and I would take their front 4 starters over Bostons. But as a full staff and full lineup from 1-9 Boston is better and we will see which works better for who in the race to win 4 games.
Detroit wasn't shut down by Lester but they did strand a bunch of guys, you were 1 hit by Anibal the Cannibal and CO. The fact that our bats were active and yours were non existent speaks volumes because of three reasons.

1. Scherzer

2. Verlander

3. At some point we aren't just going to continually strand runners over and over and over again

We might have only won this game by 1 run but that bobbled catch saved 2 runs as well. You're being a little overly optimistic in my opinion but I don't mind, you're the Boston homer that started this thread after all.
