First HR.

Guess again.

It could happen.

Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and
(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
- (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces; or
- © He pitches effectively for at least three innings.

Depends how generous the official scorer is with "effectivly". And if he finishes the game.

I like it when another Dusty does something good.

Maybe this guy should make the postseason roster over Varitek, just a thought.

A Curtain Call?

[xpisblack]

Is anyone else seeing a yellow spot on the camera behind home plate?

That's where Brown pissed himself. Luckily, the shame inspired him to hit a tater.

[Brianish]

Edit - Never mind actually. Stupid old school rules.

Will never happen. I'd be in favor of it. But it won't happen.

[Bucknahs Bum Ankle]

1 K pitching and 1 HR hit. Brown should call it a career!

Wouldn't hurt but there's no way, barring injury, Tek would ever be left off the post season roster.

And a LUCIOUS TATER it was.

[teddywingman]

Looks like the Braves traded him at peak value. How's Edgah doing lately anyway?

Hittin .250 in San Fran with a .635 OPS.
I imagine his defense has declined similarly.

[joelmon]

Congrats to Dusty. By the way, does he project to be a full timer or just a career back-up?

HI FELLOWS IT'S DU

DUSTY BROWN.

Barring a major upgrade in his offense, a back-up.

[Brianish]

I can hardly believe it's only 10 considering the number of runs scored.

[BucketOBalls]

DUSTY BROWN.

THE STUD WHO HITS LUSCIUS TATERS

[xpisblack]

How many times has a team fielded 3 Dustins at the same time?

Dusty! Where the hell have you been?

[Sprowl]

Richardson has some interesting movement on his sinker and seems to pretty good location on the slider: could have LOOGY potential in the next year or two.

[4-6-3]

Good reason to keep Gathright into post season - he can run down some gap shots if someone gets hurt.

OH NO. I MAKE HABE SUMGGELT TERRY SCHIAVO INTO MY BAT

[bosockboy]

Watching another lefthanded #54 makes me daydream back to the immortal John Halama era. Don't here that guy's name on this board very often.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Even crazier is that it's only 9 out here!

[shawnrbu]

btw, is it better if the Sox lose these games for 2010 draft positioning?

[xpisblack]

Aye, that was a fucking tip-top catch in center by JG.

Water at 10:00 on the money.

WATAH! One to go (before the "real" season).

3 am on the spot.

You're really in Scotland? I figured it was Scotland, Maine or some such place.

[bosockboy]

95 wins within reach....Clay goes 5 strong tomorrow and we wrap on a high note. Anyone still pissed we "backed in?" This team is fine.

Didn't you hear? This team doesn't deserve to make the playoffs...they are a disgrace. They can't hit and their pitching is mediocre.

Edinburgh.

[Bucknahs Bum Ankle]

Beckett gets the W to finish 17-6 with a 3.86 ERA. Pretty damn good season on the whole, but it was a bit of a bumpy road. Lets hope Playoff Beckett is primed and ready to dominate.

Edit: Also established career highs with 212.3 IP and 199 Ks.

[SemperFidelisSox]

94 wins and they've been resting players and preparing for the playoffs for two weeks now. They could have easily won 97-98 games if they had to.

And 10 home wins, tied for the most in the AL, I reckon.

[teddywingman]

Edinburgh.

I enjoyed some time there. Cool city.

[DustyPetra]

I swore off game-threading to get some work done, and it's done.

Any news from the ice coolers?

thanks a lot, dude. I had managed to forget he was ever on this team.

If all our games were against the Orioles and Indians we might have won 150. And if we did not lose 9 of 10 against the MFY in the 2nd half we might have won the friggin division. The thing is, the Red Sox simply didn't care to win 97-98 games, they are content with the WC.

Halama is pitching in the Atlantic League playoffs for Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. He went 8-1 with a 1.96 ERA sandwiched around a stint in AAA ball for Atlanta. (Butch Hobson is the manager. In the bullpen is Joe Gannon, who learned the knuckleball when he was the bullpen catcher for the Buffalo Bisons.)
