The Red Sox were almost perfect pitching-wise in the series finale in St. Pete, but sadly you gotta score runs to win. Today we recap that tough series loss to the Rays, the awesome watch party we had at GameOn!, what the hell happened in the 9th inning, if Pivetta was actually upset to get pulled with a no-hitter, Yankee fans being dumbos, our true feelings about E-Rod right now, if Garrett Richards' career is over, lookahead to this Yankees series, expectations for Pedroia Night and much more.

The Red Sox have reclaimed first place in the AL East after losing a series to the Royals. Just like we all expected. Today we talk why the Sox losing that series in KC actually hurts the Yankees, where we rank a walk-off triple play on our best baseball moments that can happen in a game list, if the Red Sox leadoff hitter come October is even on the team right now, whether the Sox will retire Pedroia's number on Friday or not, when we can expect Marwin Goznalez to do anything at the plate, the importance of Christian Arroyo to the success of this club, immediately pausing for us to all buy the greatest jersey ever, No. 35 maybe becoming Just Matt again, why we aren't worried about the Rays calling up Wander Franco for this series starting Tuesday, the importance of the Sox proving they're the best team in the AL East this week and much more.
