Sox last night, as heard here on the WEEI Red Sox Radio Network, they win a game they had to win.

If they lost consecutive games to the A's, that was looking listless.

Fortitude was the deficit.

They came back and won it in extra innings.

The next, what do we have here now?

We have one more game today against the A's and they go on the road

to Tampa for six. They come back for three and that's the regular season. So magic number

is eight. And I guess do you think that the fans, so I think if you ask Craig Breslo in an honest

moment or Alex Cora, if making the playoffs was a successful season just making it they would

say yes would you guys agree with that yeah i would say that especially the seasons that they're

coming off of like that's i mean cora core basically said it to us when he said if you would have

told them at spring training two weeks left in the season that they'd be a playoff team he would

have he would have been like what oh we'll take that you know what i mean so he basically told us

getting into the playoffs as a successful season they tell me for myers you know uh we're in a

playoff spot going into a save uh two weeks left, I would take it.

The three matchups they've got left, though, like they're not ending on an easy note by any means.

Like these are all games that they need to do well.

These series they need to do well with.

And again, I'll say it again and again and again, Wiggy was spot on when they had a nice little cushion and they had easy matchups and they

dropped the ball with those because looking at where they stand right now to go against the

rays, then the Blue Jays and then end with the Tigers is not exactly where you want to be.

Right. Other than the raise, the other two teams are really good.
