Just win

Simon's last start. Those sliders could be death on Lavarnway. Simon's generally better vs. RHH.... except he is more home run prone against them.

Who catches Lester?

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

No words left. Just baseball.




I hope we're left standing on the Rio Grande.

[mikeford]

Win.

[Sprowl]

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Win.

Never knew Pat Burrell had such insights.

Two in the hand extends the season. Let's do it.

[jippaman]

I land in Philly from Chicago at 3:35 p.m. I'm a 100-minute drive to Camden Yards without traffic. I'm going to Baltimore.

There are 20 major league teams full of guys who WISH they were playing for a shot at all the marbles in game #162. This isn't pressure, it's joy. Feel the joy.

Reddick went 3-3 vs Simon in a game back in July.

Drew is 0-4 with 3 K's lifetime.

SSS all around, and Reddick hasn't played since Saturday, but something to think about.

Drew also misplayed a ball in right that went for a triple off the wall that would've had people calling for Reddick's head had he done the same.

He's also just ridiculous against Baltimore (.350/.385/.750) and even better when you narrow it down to Camden Yards (.433/.500/.900). Again, small samples (23 and 11 games, respectively), but it is something to think about.

[mikeford]

Given that Francona put Lowrie in the motherfucking CLEAN UP spot based on like... 2 good games in a row... I'd say Reddick should probably get the nod based on 11 games.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Shit I might not sleep tonight. I mean I usually don't fall asleep until the early morning anyways but I might not go to sleep at all this time.

[phragle]

Win it for knucklecup, his slut girlfriend, and her filthy twat.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Win it for Scruffy, a more loyal man than any of us.

[Doc Zero]

I am not kidding when I say that I listened to this at around 4:05 p.m. PST today on my drive home from work. the creepy part is that I thought long about what to put on to pump myself up for the game. entirely too weird a coincidence.

edit: that just sealed it for me. we're winning this fucking thing.

So be it....

[Nomar813]

Win it for Professor Farnsworth, whose name would otherwise be sullied by Tampa's fuckhead closer. Take a minute to contemplate the injustice of giving a team whose closer is Kyle Farnsworth a shot at a championship

[Lou Clinton]

Lettermen just took a swipe at us. Said Michelle Bachmann has fallen faster than the Boston Red Sox.

This shit CAN'T stand. This team IS better than that. Hell, we have won 2 out of 3. From our recent trend - that is on fire. We are pulling out of this. Forgot past games and be damn thankful that we don't need help from another team. We just need to win. Then do it again.

The critics love to doubt the Boston Red Sox. The jackholes are right outside the door and they are starting to mouth off again. You think they would know better by now... We escaped this noise for a few years by virtue of our success, but it is back again. I chose my avatar from an old Yahoo screen cap. It was on the Yahoo main page in 2007. "Why Boston Will Collapse". Didn't exactly work out that way...

It doesn't take supernatural bull shit for us to make this happen. We are a better team than the O's. We are a better team than the Rays too. Just do our thing. Wait for our pitch. Jonny Lester will hold them down. Pedroia, Ortiz & Adrian will come through. Like Bill McGowan told Ted Williams before his .406 last game.. "you gotta be loose." Easier said than done. Win now.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Motivational speeches from crappy movies (sorry, Rev, but Armageddon? Really?) are nice. But then there's this-



Considering that the real Patton was likely even more of a psycho hard ass than that its amazing the Germans didn't just up and shoot themselves.

By the heart of Alfredo, this thread's page count runs right to left in the subforum gamethreads page!

I like it...

[OzSox]

David Ortiz is one home run and four RBIs short of 30/100, which are important numbers for him.

Grand Slam. Book it.

[Remagellan]

My boy Jon Lester knows all about facing the end, and saying "Not today." He understands how precious the gift of another day is, which is why there is no one on this team that I would trust more with this assignment.

Life is good. Let's keep living.

WIN

[canderson]

I'll be on a flight to Vancouver for the early part of this flight, but thanks to GoGo wi-fi I'll be able to listen.

Win today, win tomorrow, and let's get it going.

Spacemen 3 to start it? Oh yeah, they got this. Win tonight and see where you are.

[TheoShmeo]

The Sox season comes down to Judgment Day. But of course.

Here's to a win tonight and a Sour New Year for the Tampers.

[abty]

Score early and often and Tampa will be as tight as a drum. Also, remember this is the effing Orioles. Lots of breaking pitches, keep it in the park and they will be helpless.

[Foulkey Reese]

Is it 7pm yet?

[Adrian's Dome]

I'll be amazed if I don't get fired today at work. And I won't really give a shit either way.

Come on 7PM.

Someday, someone will teach me how to embed videos.

Sunday night was like geting relief from shitting out a cactus. Last night was like feeling better after puking up a porcupine. Tonight, let them wrap their peckers in 200 grit sandpaper, thrust away, and end up bloody but relieved.

This might seem strange, but no recent movie clip fires me up more than the following


Tonight, Jon Lester will be playing the part of Woody Harrelson

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

If we're going movie clips, this one is does it for me. An odd choice, but always leaves me inspired.




Our history will be what we make of it.

[soxtalon]

Today the part of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio will be played by the 2011 Red Sox Season. The part of Ed Harris will be played by Jon Lester.

Yep. Impossible to focus today.

Going to be 100% useless today. Can't sleep, can't eat.

Same here. Fearing that tomorrow will be worse.

So Lavarnway has to start, right?

And for the love of god keep Carl out of the #2 spot.

I'm gonna be mighty angry if the savior of the season gets benched tonight.
