No!!! She'll ruin him.

I didn't say he should accept. I just want his confidence to remain high.

[redsox102704]

Lavarnway BETTER be starting tomorrow. If the Sox finish this thing, his all around performance in this game will be looked back on as the turning point.

[CaptainLaddie]

Until tomorrow, yeah?

Go Sox!

Hold the line, brother.

Fuck'n a, friendo.

[LynnRice75]

Hopefully TBA will put up an epic performance in Tampa tomorrow night. It's our only prayer.

Lavarnway did it tonight - perhaps the MFY TBAs will come through the same way.

[genivive]

Bobby V awaits?

Disaster in the making dear God no

[BellhornIsGod]

Alfredo Simon tomorrow. Didn't he kill a few guys last year?

Yea only 2 though so it's no biggie.

[strek1]

You know, they won and all but what a joke. Baltimore is a joke of a team and the Sox are being pushed to the absolute brink against them

Normally yes, but the last couple nights they haven't played like a joke of a team. How many AB's did they grind out tonight? They never used to do that.

[estreetfan]

Now I can breath again. Let's go Sox!

[CJM]

Think though....they will have to use a tired pen again tomorrow...and possibly Thursday.

If we get through tomorrow we get the privilege of starting Lackey in a one game playoff...on short rest no less.

And if we somehow get through all that....we get to watch Tim Wakefield start off the postseason.

I'm in....but this won't be pleasant.

Hey kids, it's Christmas Eve! You know what you get tomorrow? Probably a bunch of shit you didn't ask for and won't like, so go to bed. Yeah, that's right, I've been eating the Santa cookies all these years. He doesn't exist.

Beckett on short rest?

[MikeyLowell]

Sox need to hang 20 runs on Baltimore tomorrow. Just do it.

[CaptainLaddie]

We picked up a game on the Yankees.

This deserves more play.

[abty]

Score early and often tomorrow. Put pressure on the Rays and, for the love of god, get one pitching performance without giving up a long ball.

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

Is Clay available tomorrow? Gotta assume Aceves is only available for 3 innings tomorrow.

[Rudy Pemberton]

Lavarnway catching tomorrow, no Crawford batting 2nd bullshit either.

I'd love to see something like this.

Ellsbury
Scutaro
Gonzalez
Pedroia
Ortiz
Lavarnway
Drew
Crawford
Aviles

[bosockboy]

Beckett on short rest?

He's on fumes at 80 pitches now...I don't think there's any way they do that.

[redsox102704]

The O's have won series vs. The Tigers, Angels, Rays, & Sox in the past few weeks. If we're going to criticize the Sox for their play in the last month, you HAVE to give Baltimore credit for their past month (regardless of their overall position in the standings).

Please God, I beg you, no more "turning points". This month they only turn from W's into L's.

[fmcjfc]

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

[Foulkey Reese]

Ah well. Everything you said is right, but one day at a time at this point.

[shepard50]

Now that is a win - not pretty but we'll take it. Love the massive Lavarnway contributions. We can do this thing. See you tomorrow, keep the faith brothers and sisters.

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Jeeeeeeeezus fucking christ, I can't take this shit.

I take that back. More tomorrow!

Yeah ... this.

[Remagellan]

Lavarnway did it tonight - perhaps the MFY TBAs will come through the same way.

The thing is, whichever of their kids they put on the mound is sure to treat it as a playoff assignment, and that's a good thing for us.

A child led us tonight, maybe one of their children will lead them tomorrow night.

Whatever, LIFE-GIVING WATER!

[Reverend]

Water.

Damage is done though....they are screwed.

Dude... you suck.

Like, you don;'t suck a little. And it's not even that what you are saying is incorrect.

You suck on levels more fundamental than what you have considered. It's hard for me to even fathom how to explain it to you... and usually, I wouldn't bother... except that, well, you're nutting up against the point that, well...

Look--you may be a bad person. I mean, there's a time to just shut the fuck up, yeah? Bad energy sucks. We all get it at times, but we laud those that help us to keep going. You don't think it's real? Fine. Shut the fuck up and get out of the way of those who want to push on. And if you think this is unfair, stop and think about movies... and which guy in the movie you're playing.

We have a future to attend to.

[SawxSince67]

TBA! TBA! TBA!

[redsox102704]

Please God, I beg you, no more "turning points". This month they only turn from W's into L's.

Turning points are best looked at in hindsight, which is what I was implying. Roberts' steal was a turning point, but nobody knew it at the time.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

I honestly don't know if I can watch tomorrow. I might go out to a 7 o'clock movie, and then just see what happened when I get home. I just have no confidence in any other outcome than the Sox losing, and losing badly, or another nailbiter on the verge of a serious dick punch to end all dick punches. And I'm not sure I could survive either.

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wally Bell is a big fat fucking bitch who may have been taking some cash on the side. I hope he gets killer crabs from whatever cankerous whore he beds with tonight.

[LynnRice75]

The survived that one. Can they get two in a row for the first time in over a month?
Maybe they should go into the game acting as if they lost.
Reverse psychology combined with a Yankee Reverse Lock equals Wild Card!

[scottyno]

He's on fumes at 80 pitches now...I don't think there's any way they do that.

wakefield is on fumes before 80 pitches, and thats if he has a good start and even gets that far

[Ferm Sheller]

Could be a long night tomorrow. Forecast calling for moderate rain in B'more.

EDIT: If the game gets called and the Rays win, would they have to play the Orioles in the morning on Thursday and then, if they win, fly down to Tampa to play the Rays at night?

[Mystic Merlin]

Am I fucking deranged for - given they're in this predicament and nothing will change that - somehow being excited about all of this?

Did you survive 2003 and 2004? You can survive this.

[Sprowl]

Beckett on short rest?

Nah. If Lester gets us to the playoff, then it's Buchholz-Aceves-blank-Aceves-blank-Papelbon.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Is Clay available tomorrow? Gotta assume Aceves is only available for 3 innings tomorrow.

I don't think they planned to use him unless the wild card was settled one way or another.

Doubront, Atch, Morales, Miller, Weiland, Bard, Paps.

Ugh. Do you want the extra pressure of already knowing the outcome of the TB game well before your game is decided (or maybe even starts)?

[mikeford]

Anybody who doesn't worship at the Altar of Aceves by now can kiss my fucking ass.

If they lose, sure. If they win, nah.

If you are, then I'm just as deranged.

[bosockboy]

Nah. If Lester gets us to the playoff, then it's Buchholz-Aceves-blank-Aceves-blank-Papelbon.

No he meant ALDS Game 1. I can't see anyone other than Wake as a possibility.

[ShaneTrot]

Wow, that was tense. Did what they had to do. A fucking triple play hurt the Sox tonight, this month has been biblical.

[No. 19]

Baseball, baby. This is baseball.

[LynnRice75]

Well - if the outcome is a Rays loss, it could relax them enough to stop pressing.
A month ago I was bored waiting for the playoffs - now I cannot do anything all day but stress until game time.
Course - I work from home so that means a full day of Weei sports talk to keep me distracted.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Nah. If Lester gets us to the playoff, then it's Buchholz-Aceves-blank-Aceves-blank-Papelbon.

Aceves then Alfredo then pray for tornado.
