[Rice4HOF]

Nice job Papelbon!! Foulke who?

[PedroKsBambino]

.....and this is why Papelbon is pitching hi-lev innings, folks!

What a HUGE win. It was close to the finest hour indeed!

[Alacoldart]

No, line of the night is:

Ortiz, D. 5AB 3H 3RBI 1BB 2HR 1CLUTCH

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Good point.

Okay...best JOKE line of the night.

UNCLEAN H-2-O!

THANK YOU JONATHAN PAPELBON! THANK YOU DAVID ORTIZ! FUCK YOU TERRY FRANCONA (for nearly screwing this up)!

3.5 BABY!

[Marbleheader]

Water! Olerud is maintaining possession of the ball, but is loaning it to Papelbon to put on his mantel for a while.

Good work kid.

[reggiecleveland]

Pat Tabler on Jays broadcast "big Papi and Little Papi win it for the Sox."

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Wow. Just wow.

BIG win for the boys tonight. BIG.

Congrats to Papelbon, got his first win in the big leagues. You broke your cherry!

[Pandemonium67]

So, that's what a good reliever looks like.

DIRTY LAKE ONTARIO WATER!!!

Well gang, if there's going to be a repeat this year... Pap and Pap may be the guys who get us there...

3 1/2 in the East!

Greatly diminished expectations for the *FY tomorrow morning in the BP postseason odds...

[NYCSox]

Wow. Just wow.

Great W for Papelbon and really well earned.

And as for Big Papi, my love for that man is moving out of the hetero realm. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Clemente38]

Nice first win for Pap. Thank you Papi/Pap.

night everyone.

3.5

[Southpaw67]

Well done for the Kid. Nice first ML win.
A lot of pitches though, GameDay had him at 43.

That's a lot. Am I the only one concerned about that?

This board is definitely not playoff-ready yet.

[octoberaroma]

beans + rice = HR power!

Papi: muchas garcia!

[TimNJsoxfan]

[SoxFanSince57]

Big Papi and Young Pappy--Wow--3 IP and NO hits.

This team is a group of grinders. How to hang tough! Big game after the MFY series.

Don't forget Manny is back.

[smastroyin]

Thank you big and little Papi.

Tito and I can both sleep tonight.

Maybe this was the great plan, get Papelbon his first win.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Man, what a swing of emotions in the last 2 hours.

David Ortiz is a baseball god in Boston. They had better start the statue for him right fucking now.

[Alacoldart]

TC: "Some QUESTIONABLE bullpen decisions."

[Shea Hillenbagwell]

Glad we ponied up for that liftime membership, huh?

[scotian1]

Sleep will come much easier now. Thank you.

[pk1627]

No doubts about the mental toughness of this team.

Papelbon's going to help in the playoffs.

Ortiz can hit.

[redsoxjamie]

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

So that's what a home-grown pitcher looks like. Interesting.

Man, what a performance by Papelbon tonight. Ballsy sending him back out there to close out the game, but the kid came through. Me likey.

[reggiecleveland]

Why are there so many less guests that at the end of the 7th inning?

I have never seen anything like Ortiz, maybe Larry Bird?

[ManilaSoxFAN]

To stay on course, we only needed to win one game in TOR.

And we got it. Playing with house money now. I expect more rest for our position players/starters...and more attempts to test some players who are on the playoff roster bubble. All is good.

As has been said many, many times:

Watah.

[reggiecleveland]

I blamed Tito for blowing it but sending JP out for his third inning was the move to make.

[PedroKsBambino]

That's a lot. Am I the only one concerned about that?

Papelbon was a starter until a couple weeks ago, really. So he's likely good up to 60 pitches or so I'd think.

[switchhitter33]

Man, now I'm too pumped to sleep.

I now know what older fans mean when they talk about Yaz in 67. It must have been like this.

Honestly, Papi is moving into Bill Brasky territory at this point. "Big Papi is ten feet tall and can eat a hammer for breakfast! He made love to my wife and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! He can take a shotgun blast standing!"

[Shea Hillenbagwell]

Who would win in a fight- Big Papi or Jack Cust?

[kartvelo]

Yes, but I have no confidence yet that the board will handle playoff game threads. Or even late September/early October threads.

And I'm still stuck at 379 posts, where I have been for about 100 posts.

Game thread posts aren't counted towards your total. Only posts made in other forums do.

You're absolutely right, Ned would have loved this stuff!!!

[SoxFanSince57]

Manny and David may be the among the top three or four hitting tandems of all time. I would not be surprised if Manny (35) passes David (40) in homers by the end of the regular season.

David is getting our notice as the best since Yaz, but David and Manny are the best since those two Yankee guys. The best in the last 80-90 years.

I can't believe that anyone would trade (read dump) Manny. CRAZY.

[onesoxyladee]

What an incredible win. After what could have been a brutal loss, Papi comes through yet again. I'm shocked they pitched to him, but with Manny hitting, it makes all the difference in the world.

Tito made some questionable moves to say the least, but sticking with Papelbon turned out to be brilliant. What an incredible job by Pap...unbelievable win.



David Ortiz is simply a freak of nature. He comes through almost every single time the game is on the line. I have never, ever seen anything like it in my 22 years.

[Shea Hillenbagwell]

Here's Papi's first hr.

[Nuf Ced]

[bosoxsue]

I was too tired last night to log on and say this, but better late than never. My high school in Connecticut has produced two players that have given Red Sox fans memorable moments both high and low this season.

Earlier was John McDonald, the Tigers shortstop who got a game-winning hit off Schilling on Aug. 14. But my alma mater (East Lyme High) vindicated itself last night when Pete Walker allowed Papi to go deep. I hope that erases our debt.

Fun fact: I understand that Pete's nephew is a big Red Sox fan who will cheer for Pete, but never against the Red Sox. He must be happy today.
