RUN TO 3RD!

[mauidano]

What an offensive performance tonight. Fire is burning again.

Albers time. Build a little self confidence.

[stevman17]

Jacoby Ellsbury is a whiner and doesn't play through injuries.

[drbretto]

I'm cautiously optimistic about Pedey's chance at 3 dingers

[Van Everyman]

... and to think of all that effing money sunk in Lackey and Crawford

Way to look on the bright side of things in a 17(now18)-5 game, dude.

[JakeRae]

They got Ellsbury a second chance and all he does is single. You'd think he could've put a little more effort in.

The only thing stopping Wake from #200 is a large asteroid headed right at Boston.

[kartvelo]

This is great, but it would have been greater to distribute these runs, two or three per game, over the past week's games.

[etakbear]

Just tuned in. Oh, this is so much better!

[scotian1]

Save some for tomorrow guys!

[mauidano]

It's warming up in the bullpen. Matt Albers.

[ypioca]

Get Ellsbury another AB, I want that fucking triple

[drbretto]

Fuck all that saving runs bullshit. Bury these fuckers. 20 runs per game.

[Sprowl]

Muddy Chicken is NOW back over .300. Runs all over the place, Gonzo and Carl both hitting. Feels good to know the boys are back in town.

When I got to Dublin, I realized that the Irish pronounced their name Tin Lizzy, and it all began to make sense. Thin Lizzy is good mojo.

I like the team to win everyday and if you watch every inning as I do, there are a lot of very questionable things done. Aceves had 7 pitches after the 7th so why not take him out and have him for another inning tomorrow or for 2-3 Thursday against Tampa. He ended with 19 pitches and 2 innings, not available tomorrow and not for long on Thursday.
Why dumb? The guy almost never hits and run, doesn´t bunt and has a problem in bringing the relievers 1-3 batters late and he is enamored of a lot of mediocre players (Lowrie tonight, Lugo for a bunch of games, etc.).

Tito is not a Scioscialist.


You're probably quite the tasty morsel. Be sure to come back tomorrow.

[Nuf Ced]

There ain't nothin' like home cookin'.

Sadly, opposing teams don't let bad AAA pitchers throw in games that are close.

[paulb0t]

I think the game would still be ruled official by the gleep-glok's who will settle earth 11 million years from now, see the national nightmare that 200 wins was, and declare Tim Wakefield their god.

That's right, welcome to Wakefield.

YOU SUCK PEDROIA, NO HR WTF

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Pedey is so locked in.

[AnkleStigmata]

Boy am I gonna be pissed if Tazawa blows this.

[unclebobo]

C'mon Pedey! First pitch? Really?

I'm really beginning to question his heart and commitment to winning.

[Foulkey Reese]

I think we got this

[bosockboy]

Man he is fucking locked in.

[JakeRae]

Boy am I gonna be pissed if Tazawa blows this.

1-2-3 inning. This is where Tazawa begins to make the case for his inclusion on the postseason roster.

[drbretto]

There's no penalty for scoring a shit load of runs. It's not like they're going to be so tired tomorrow from trotting around the bases. Fuck the Jays. I hope albers ties it up so we can score 12 more in the 9th.

Edit: Tazawa, apparently

Pitching in the AA/AAA pen, last 38.1 IP... 2.86 FIP, 31 H, 48 K, 8 BB

[AimingForYoko]

O's won?!

Praise jeebus.

[Lavinius]

No time for that prevent defense crap.

[bellowthecat]

Ellsbury's ISO is now 221, greater than Gonzo's ISO of 214.

[ypioca]

Joey Gathright sighting!

[LesterFan]

Don't tell me everyone is hurt

[drbretto]

Don't tell me everyone is hurt

haha, that actually made me chuckle

[stevman17]

Random observation: It looked like all the young guys were squinting really hard. Could it be that the lights in Fenway really are brighter? Or was it just a nervous reaction/ my imagination?

[Savin Hillbilly]

That's a decent-looking curve.

[casil]

Congratulations you just won the argument.

OK I get it we should be euphorical because after a week of playing shit we went over Morrow and the Jays, and yes I believe bunting is an important part of the game and in close games could get you a win, as hit and runs eliminate doubleplays and not leaving Wakefield longer than he should (since 10 years ago we know he breaks when approximating 100 pitches)as in the last game. I'll see what all of you will say when we go 3 and out as it happened the last time we made it to the post-season. Give Lowrie at bats against Verlander and don´t bunt or hit and run against him and wait for the 3 run homer as Zimmer did in 78 (ah well I remember he sent Lynn bunting on the Saturday game of the Boston massacre, I believe a 7-0 L, because he had been criticized all season for not bunting).

I don't feel like going into detail on your every point. All I will say is the following: I allow Tito to slide because he goes for the throat at every opportunity in the post-season. I don't care about how he manages in the regular season, because, in general, it doesn't make any fucking difference.

That's racist

Why does Felger hate Josh Beckett?

Shut up Felger.

You too Tanguay. You can always shut up.

Whose account is this?

[Savin Hillbilly]

Finally, a left fielder with some range.

[stevman17]

That's racist

Lol. It was not intentional, and even if it was, it was only 1/3rd racist.

Euphorical isn't a word? Or are you trying to make this sound authenticious.

[richgedman'sghost]

Francoma? Congrats you are the first person to use that since October 13th, 2004. It sucked then. It sucks and is incredibly dumb now.

Oct 13 2004 just happened to be my 30th b-day and the Red Sox lost to the Yanks of course. Thanx for bringing that up

5/10 for the troll.

[Sprowl]

Tazawa is hitting 92-93 on the gun -- that's a big improvement over the pre-TJ 2009 version. Now if he can just keep it out of the wheelhouse, the Sox might just have something after all.
