I don't even know who's pitching today. Pitch well, unknown starter, and win homefield advantage.

[CaptainLaddie]

I think it's Daniel Bard.





Seriously though, wouldn't that be crazy? Dan Bard starting in the majors? He'd probably walk eighteen batters in a row!! Hahaha!!

[E5 Yaz]

It's Wake, I think. Poor Wake ... can you imagine the lineup they'll have out there for this one.

[sheamonu]

Wake could pitch in his sleep with that knuckler.

Pitching with a hangover... didn't a former Red Sox pitcher (not with the Red Sox though) do that once?








WIN!!!

[shoebox91]

Let's go ahead and get the best record and have homefield throughout!

[86spike]

based on their need for at-bats, I'd imagine a few of our regulars will still play today.

My lineup guess is:

Ellsbury LF
Youkilis 3B
Manny DH
Drew RF
Coco CF
Hinske 1B
Clayton SS
Cora 2B
Mirabelli C

Not exactly Murderer's Row... but it might be Aggravated Assulter's Row

[InsideTheParker]

Good times. I woke up this morning and had to pinch myself; the Rivera blown save seems like a strange dream. Strange but nice

P.S. Keep on winning, guys, okay?

I'd guess that Paps is not available today.

Hello all. I hope you all enjoyed the "twin killings" last night. (pun intended)

Great day to SAVOR the season's accomplishments.

ENJOY

[5belongstoGeorge]

It is only going to get better this year.

Wake goes for W #17 tonight... that's right 17.

We're gonna win tonight. Why? Because it'll drive Yankees fans even more nuts.

[Foulkey Reese]

Wow

[E5 Yaz]

Wow

Jeter and Arod celebrate in much the same fashion, only Arod is facing the other way

Dice really knows how to pick them. That woman is fucking frightening.

She probably looks less zombie-like in normal lighting.

[DickBrodowski]

Me thinks Coco had a good evening

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

I didn't realize the Sox were playing the Skanks this weekend

[Kitchkinet]

Hey guys. I'm at the Bright House here in Orlando. 45 minutes to gametime on UCF vs. La-La-land.

I just wanted to tell you all, Good luck, we're all counting on you.

I'm stunned that Cora isn't playing both second and short and hitting cleanup. STUNNED.

8. Doug Mirabelli, C
9. Royce Clayton, SS
--Tim Wakefield, SP

This strikes me as a very sensible line-up. Lugo, Papi and Pedroia need rest. Youks and Manny need live pitching. Wake needs Belli. Coco needs to get his sea legs under him again.

It seems like a reasonable balance between getting the rest players need and trying to win HFA.

[15'sCementShoes]

Very nicely done.

Schill scratched for Tavarez tomorrow, per Extra Bases. Not really a surprise.

Glad to see Manny Ramirez in the 3 hole providing some protection to Alex Cora

Why not Hansack? I want this to be a tradition, dammit!

[PedroKsBambino]

I'm surprised Lowell is in the lineup, but obviously not a big deal. I suppose the Sox also would like lock up homefield for sure, too, for a hypothetical Indians matchup.

[Lucen]

Why not Hansack? I want this to be a tradition, dammit!

They're preparing to trade Hansack for Santana, straight up, as soon as the World Series ends. They don't want to risk an injury that might foul up the deal. Of course, I think it's a mistake to let go of young cost controlled pitching, no matter who you're getting back. You simply do not trade any of your top 25 pitching prospects, ever.

[Rooster Crows]

Let's go into the post-season on a roll - kick some more ass tonight and win this last series.

GO SOX - WIN TODAY!

[E5 Yaz]

Looks like the viral problem has gone away.

... to be replaced by a more virulent affliction.

[5belongstoGeorge]

Buenos Noches amigos!

[MidnightC]

All I really care about tonight is how Wakefield pitches. A 1-2-3 first is a good start.

[15'sCementShoes]

I'm also interested in how Okajeemer pitches as well.

[MidnightC]

Very nice swing from Manny.

[Southpaw67]

I'm watching with a lovely sense of calm tonight.
While I'd love to see a win, no biggie if they don't.

Good one, Manny...right back into the swing of things (pun intended).

[5belongstoGeorge]

Manny is right on schedule.

It would be nice to give Wake a 1st inning lead here.

[MartyBarrettMVP]

Welcome back, Coco. I missed those catches.

So, it is official: Range is more important than arm. Coco is living proof of this postulate.

My avatar cherry has been popped

[15'sCementShoes]

I'm hoping someone will post video of Youks & Paps 'dancing' on the field that NESN opened their broadcast with tonight. That was phenomenal.

I'll be a little disappointed if Paps didn't pass out and sleep it off on the Fenway turf last night.
