[Coco's Disciples]

Yeeee Stocker mojo. Win bitches.

[Coco's Disciples]

Jeter homers in the 1st, Posada up with Rod at 2nd, 2 out.

[.406]

Not a nice start. 26+ pitch inning for Beckett.

[Gom]

Wang's not hitting his normal 94-95 on his splitter. Could be a long day for him.

[ORS]

Probably, since he doesn't throw a splitter. Genius.

[soxfan17881]

Does Tim McCarver annoy anyone?

[BSN07]

I just saw the Radar flash 100MPH LOL Beckett throws gas!

[soxfan17881]

Let's go, Papi!

[soxfan17881]

Chien-Ming Walk?

[soxfan17881]

Tek... NOW!

[See Red]

Wang is getting wild. Bases loaded and the Sox haven't swung at 16 straight pitches. My money is on Tek striking out in three pitches.

[soxfan17881]

So much for that. Fly out.

[soxfan17881]

Beckett looks strong today.

[Thumper]

Beckett's nasty today.

I feel good with him on the mound. He's got some good command today and that fastball ripped past Matsui.

[Thumper]

Beckett strikes out the side!

We got a win on our hands!

[soxfan17881]

Beckett's nasty today.

I feel good with him on the mound. He's got some good command today and that fastball ripped past Matsui.

Let's hope that this doesn't turn out to be another game with a great performance by a starter and no run support.

[soxfan17881]

I love these MIller High Life commercials!

Step aside, Mon Ami!

[Thumper]

Let's hope that this doesn't turn out to be another game with a great performance by a starter and no run support.

Well we got 1 run on the board now. I think they can pull it off today.

Ehhhhhhhhhh Dane Cook can die.

[soxfan17881]

Beckett at 85 pitches after 5.

[Thumper]

Okay let's breakout in this half inning and shut them down the rest of the game!

[Gom]

Probably, since he doesn't throw a splitter. Genius.

I meant sinker. Brain fart. Beckett looks awesome, Wang is struggling.

[Thumper]

What the fuck Wang.

[Coco's Disciples]

Faaack stop hitting Youkilis.

[Thumper]

Ellsbury in!

[Gom]

Yeah, that was intentional. Hitting Youkilis on a 1-2 count with Ortiz on deck of a 1-1 game. Get real.

[Coco's Disciples]

Ellsbury will play left, Hinske will move to 1st.

[Gom]

I hope Youkilis didn't get hurt.

[Thumper]

Goddamn the kid is fast.

[soxfan17881]

Intentional, or not, it blows. Wang is all over the place.

[soxfan17881]

2 outs, Drew at the plate. Familiar territory?

[Thumper]

Drew's getting hot! Keep that up!

[soxfan17881]

DREW! Thank you! 2-1 Sox!

[VA Sox Fan]

Atta boy JD!

[Gom]

Dammit

[riverside sluggers]

Here comes JD Drew!! He's been on fire this month

[soxfan17881]

How cool would it be if Tek went yard here?

And how due is he for just that thing?

[Thumper]

GOING! GOING! Foul....

I bet Wang throws that same pitch and Tek slams it out into right for a homer.

[soxfan17881]

How long does Beckett stay in?

[MANNYHOF24]

So let's get some runs here, because I have no confidence in our bulpen anymore.

[Thumper]

Lead off double. I'll take it.

[soxfan17881]

Lead off doubles are COOOOOL!

[soxfan17881]

McCarver...SHUT UP!

[riverside sluggers]

How long does Beckett stay in?

He's at 93 pitches after 6. He's good for the 7th, if he has a 10 pitch inning send him out for the 8th inning as well. This is a must fucking win

Coco! Runners on 1st & 3rd/no outs

[soxfan17881]

Ramirez in the Yankee pen.

[MANNYHOF24]

Coco Crisp comes up with a big hit. Let's go Lugo!!!!

[MANNYHOF24]

Does anybody know if Manny can PH today?

[Thumper]

Runners at the corners and 1 out. Pedroia's up, let's score a run!

Coco should steal second, lessen the chance of a DP.

[soxfan17881]

Come on, Dustin!!!

[Thumper]

Fuck yeah Coco!

[soxfan17881]

Does anybody know if Manny can PH today?

No clue. Haven't heard anything.

Crisp steals - no DP possibility.

[soxfan17881]

That would have been foul, anyway.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wow, what a dumbass fan.

[Thumper]

Shit. Atleast Hinske ran him over.

[soxfan17881]

You gotta give Posada a thumbs up in that one! Hinske is no small puppy!

[Gom]

Good hard clean play by Hinske.

[riverside sluggers]

Hey Sveum, Hinske's not a quick runner. Why have him run on contact, especially with Ortiz up next?

[MANNYHOF24]

even though he is out, that just feels good to see, especially after the MFY hit youk again.

[ORS]

Idiot fan. Kick that fucker out for life.

Nice, Hinske.

[Thumper]

Ellsbury c'mon!

[Thumper]

Another stolen base!

I'm surprised Posada didn't throw.

[soxfan17881]

Wang is arguing with Posada about pitches. Maybe Wang thinks Posada got some brain damage?

[Thumper]

Load em' up for Big Papi!

[soxfan17881]

Walk those bases loded for Papi!!!

[Thumper]

ELLSBURY!

[ORS]

<3 Ellsbury

[soxfan17881]

That'll work, too.

[MANNYHOF24]

Ellsbury is a stud. There is no question about.

[VA Sox Fan]

Jacoby! YEEEESSSSSSS!

[riverside sluggers]

Ellsbury is a fucking god

So Gom, you were saying that the Sox pitchers dont match up well against the Yankees? Last 2 games Id say Boston's has outpitched

[soxfan17881]

Papi! Papi!

[soxfan17881]

Wang is at 96 pitches.

[Thumper]

Ortiz 2 RBI! ELLSBURY IS FUCKING FAST!

[soxfan17881]

YEEEEESSSSS!!!!! Safe at the plate!!!

[riverside sluggers]

Ellsbury fucking scores from 1st base!

[soxfan17881]

No tag by Posada?? Ellsbury's foot move Posada's off the plate, but Posada never reached out to make a tag!

[Thumper]

Looked out to me, but I'm not gonna complain.

[MANNYHOF24]

Ortiz comes up huge again. Wow, Ellsbury is so fast, I have never seen speed like that before on the Red Sox.

[yankeessuck013]

Jacoby has a propellar up his ass.

[Gom]

Bad call by the umpire. Posada blocked the plate. I doubt it will make a difference in the outcome, but the ump blew that call.

[Gom]

Wang didn't have it today. Beckett does. I tip my cap to Beckett, he came up big when you needed it. Wang was just up in the zone all day, and it finally caught up to him.

[soxfan17881]

Bad call by the umpire. Posada blocked the plate. I doubt it will make a difference in the outcome, but the ump blew that call.

Honestly, I don't think Posada ever tagged him.

[Thumper]

Posada didn't tag. Safe!

[Gom]

Congrats on this win, RSN....time to go drinking. Rubber game tomorrow, huge for us, of no real concern to you. Damn it. Oh well.

[soxfan17881]

Congrats on this win, RSN....time to go drinking. Rubber game tomorrow, huge for us, of no real concern to you. Damn it. Oh well.

After last night, I'm not craking a beer just yet.

[soxfan17881]

Hey, Gom,
That quote in your post signature... who might that be from? It's interesting.

[MANNYHOF24]

Bad call by the umpire. Posada blocked the plate. I doubt it will make a difference in the outcome, but the ump blew that call.

He was actually safe.

[Thumper]

After last night, I'm not craking a beer just yet.

Good point. We had a lead similar to this last night, and look what happened. But my 6 pack is in the fridge ready and waiting. :D

[Thumper]

Retaliation? Intentional?

Looks like retaliation to me.

[soxfan17881]

You know, it's not that I don't enoy the occasional brawl, but I have to say that it's cool that no one, on either side, has overreacted to things (i.e. Youk getting hit, Posada getting bowled over, and now Giambi getting hit.)

[soxfan17881]

I see Wake and Papelbn moving around.

[soxfan17881]

Lopez, too.

[soxfan17881]

Deep breath, everyone. Stay calm.

[Coco's Disciples]

Good point. We had a lead similar to this last night, and look what happened. But my 6 pack is in the fridge ready and waiting. :D

You're 19?

[soxfan17881]

Good night, Josh! Thank you very, very much!!!

[VA Sox Fan]

Way to be Josh! Big strike out!

[yankeessuck013]

Solid Start for the Cy winner...very solid. Team-player to boot.

[Coco's Disciples]

Nicely done Beckett. 7 innings, 1 run. Just what the doctor ordered. You really sacked up.

[soxfan17881]

Beckett:

7 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, 2 BB, 7 K's

And some run support from the boys!

[schillingouttheks]

So yeah. I pretty much predicted that Beckett would have a beastly outing.

[riverside sluggers]

So much for last night's rant by elsrbueno that Becektt is not an ace and he can not pitch in big games

wtf, Tito says Gagne wont be used today? Last time I checked he hasnt been overworked, unless he is hurting again. The best asset he brings the Sox in the end, just might be the comp draft pick when he signs with someone else

[Thumper]

Beckett made good today. 1 run and held 12 hitless in a row.

[soxfan17881]

So much for last night's rant by elsrbueno that Becektt is not an ace and he can not pitch in big games

wtf, Tito says Gagne wont be used today? Last time I checked he hasnt been overworked, unless he is hurting again. The best asset he brings the Sox in the end, just might be the comp draft pick when he signs with someone else

I agree. Why did we get him if not to use him?

[soxfan17881]

Let's get some more cushion, guys. The 8th is next with the pen taking over.

[soxfan17881]

The fans in that first row need to use their heads!!!

[Thumper]

Hinske talks with Posada. Looks like they're cool with one another.

[soxfan17881]

That makes 18 K's for Tek since September 1st.

[schillingouttheks]

So much for last night's rant by elsrbueno that Becektt is not an ace and he can not pitch in big games

He was just frustrated.

Honestly, like I said last night, I think it was one of the best things that could have happened to them. Normally, I don't ever think there is such a thing as a good loss, but getting embarrassed and bitch slapped by the Yankees on our own turf last night made me feel great for some reason. I had a great feeling about Beckett today. My gut is fucking awesome!

[soxfan17881]

Hinske, it's time for jack #6, right here!

[soxfan17881]

Hinske, it's time for jack #6, right here!

I'll take the walk, I guess.

[soxfan17881]

I'm so glad the Sox are on (and winning.) Notre Dame got routed 38-0 by the not-so-hot Wolverines!

[soxfan17881]

GR Double for Coco! I'll take it. Runners at 2 and 3, still only one out!

[VA Sox Fan]

Coco! Very nice.

Come on Julio!

[SCM33]

4 straight posts...a new record!

[soxfan17881]

4 straight posts...a new record!

What can I say? I'm into this.

[SCM33]

This could get ugly realllllly fast.....who thinks Chamberlain walks his baby nuts up to the mound and throws at a sox hitter if the sox take a big lead?

I do.

[soxfan17881]

This could get ugly realllllly fast.....who thinks Chamberlain walks his baby nuts up to the mound and throws at a sox hitter if the sox take a big lead?

I do.

My thought is that if the lead stays like this, they'll save Joba for tomorrow.

[Thumper]

Bases loaded for Ellsbury.

If he doesn't slam it, he's atleast gonna score a run.

[schillingouttheks]

This could get ugly realllllly fast.....who thinks Chamberlain walks his baby nuts up to the mound and throws at a sox hitter if the sox take a big lead?

I do.

It depends on whether or not the Yankees think that 1 pitch is enough to keep him out for the next day. Fucking pussies. :D

[riverside sluggers]

He was just frustrated.

Ah like that certain 19-8 loss Sox fans know all too well, a game that would wake up a sleeping giant perhaps?

[Thumper]

TOLD YA HE'D GET A RUN!

[schillingouttheks]

Ellsbury is a deity at the very least.

[Coco's Disciples]

This team does not match up well with the Yankees...

Aight, lets not blow this.

[riverside sluggers]

Im having some serious man love for a kid named Jacoby Ellsbury!!

[yankeessuck013]

Who is Ellsbury more comparable to: Sizemore or Damon?

[soxfan17881]

Those right foul seats are getting a lot of camera time tonight.

[yankeessuck013]

TOLD YA HE'D GET A RUN!

No one would have called that... especially since he's got a hit in every game since he's been called up.

[Thumper]

Im having some serious man love for a kid named Jacoby Ellsbury!!

This kid is amazing. I think he's got what it takes to make 3,000+ hits before his career is over with.

Papi COME FUCKIN' ON!

Let's go Lowell! SLAM it over the monsta'!

[VA Sox Fan]

Who is Ellsbury more comparable to: Sizemore or Damon?

Resembles Damon looks-wise. Plays like Sizemore.

Damn I'm tired of seeing Torre changing pitchers....Jeeeez!

[soxfan17881]

I would enjoy a slam.

[Coco's Disciples]

Who is Ellsbury more comparable to: Sizemore or Damon?

Ty Cobb :thumbsup:

[Thumper]

Sure would be nice to get a run in on a walk.

[Thumper]

Sure would be nice to get a run in on a walk.

Yup. Just that.

Now let's get Drew to hit!

[Thumper]

Damn Drew is amazing.

[SCM33]

Drew, making his mark on the game.

[soxfan17881]

Why is it that Drew always seems to come up with two outs and men on?

[SCM33]

Damn Drew is amazing.

He continues to impress me. Textbook swings, taking pitch after pitch whether its a strike or ball, unbelieveable eye on this guy. Never saw a pitch he liked, and I love his dirtdog attitude. I love how he gets so pissed off after leaving the bases loaded, really shows his unbelievable heart and love for the game. A true gamer.

[soxfan17881]

Let's go, Timlin!!!

[SCM33]

Id like to see Clay in the 9th. Show off our "young gun".

[soxfan17881]

Did you see Hinske grinning like kid after that play.

[soxfan17881]

Id like to see Clay in the 9th. Show off our "young gun".

Now there's a cool idea.

[Thumper]

Fuck Dane Cook.

[yankeessuck013]

Dane Cook > You

[soxfan17881]

Nice play by Lowell.

[soxfan17881]

A-rod strike outs remind me a little of Reggie Jackson strike outs.

[Thumper]

Dane Cook > You

Sorry you feel that way. I suppose since unlike Dane Cook, I'm not about to go down on you then make you feel like a woman every night.

[schillingouttheks]

Huh?

[soxfan17881]

Posada's out?

[soxfan17881]

Joba the Hutt in throwing.

[riverside sluggers]

Hinkse hits his 6th jack of the year!

[soxfan17881]

Hinske, it's time for jack #6, right here!

I think he read my post!

[ORS]

Dusseldorf's FB is taylor made for bombs. Not too fast, not too slow, not much movement, just right.

[soxfan17881]

It's hard to be cool with a handle like Dusseldorf.

[riverside sluggers]

Ken Rosenthal says the Sox might want both Ellsbury and Crisp in the outfield next season

[soxfan17881]

Ken Rosenthal says the Sox might want both Ellsbury and Crisp in the outfield next season

I heard him say that, too. But what does that really mean?

[riverside sluggers]

Ive always liked Bryan Corey.

EDIT: Detroit leads 4-0 in the 1st inning. Yankees lead cut to 3 games in the wild card. Contrary to what Gom believes, last night was a big win for New York

[Taliesin]

My diatribe and poor smushed remotes from last evening notwithstanding....I took some Xanax. And LOT's of ETOH. I'll be fine. Gom? Gom? whereforartthou? It's too bad our pitchers don't measure up w/ their bats. I'd give anything to be at tomorrow's Clemens massacre. Allegedly. I wouldn't want to put out that kind of mojo prior.

Go Tiggers!

[soxfan17881]

Good night, Yanker! 10-1!

[Thumper]

Dirty Water.

[schillingouttheks]

If the Sox win tomorrow and push the Yanks back to 6.5, we've buried their hopes for the division. Magic number down to single digits bitches....9!

[Thumper]

If the Sox win tomorrow and push the Yanks back to 6.5, we've buried their hopes for the division. Magic number down to single digits bitches....9!

It's gonna be close. But if we can keep up what we dished out tonight, and not just against the Yankees, it'll happen.

[riverside sluggers]

Yesss Sox win, now 90-59. Back to 31 games above 500. The lead is back at 5.5 games and oh yea the Magic Number is now 9

Beckett stepped up and more, he now holds a glowing record of 19-6. His next 2 games are against Tampa Bay and Minnesota. Good shot as any to get a Cy Young award for his mantel

Enough of this negativity, Ive done it and I hate myself for doing so. Theres a 5.5 game lead with 13 fucking games to go. October is nearing and adrenaline is in the air, its fucking on

[schillingouttheks]

Enough of this negativity, Ive done it and I hate myself for doing so. Theres a 5.5 game lead with 13 fucking games to go. October is nearing and adrenaline is in the air, its fucking on

lol, last night I felt like I was the only person who felt like we were going to bury the Yanks today. I don't know why, but I just had a feeling that Beckett was going to put on a clinic and we were taking this game no matter what. Schilling vs Clemens tomorrow? I like our chances in that game.

The Sox need to go 10-3 to reach 100 wins on the season with 1 game left against the Yanks, 3 at Toronto, 3 at Tampa Bay, 2 vs the A's and 4 vs the Twins. It can happen, but pretty unlikely. I like the Sox to finish with 98 wins.

[riverside sluggers]

I was able to be the top bidder for a single ticket for tomorrows game. Ill be sitting in the 3rd baseline, mmm right close by the Yankees dugout. "Roger" "Roger" chants aplenty, make sure to try & swindle my friends digital camera before i head out tomorrow

[VA Sox Fan]

Great news! Have a blast and GO Sox!!

[MANNYHOF24]

This was just a great win today all together. Seriously Beckett showed us what he is made out of, Ellsbury has to be the starting RF in the playoffs. He is way more productive than J.D. He is an igniter, and he is going to be great to watch over the next 5-10 years. With Pedroia, Ellsbury, and Buchholz our future looks pretty damn bright.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Cut Drew some slack hes been hitting very well lately, has his OBP up around .370 now

[TheKilo]

Drew's getting hot! Keep that up!

Eat shit.

[yankees228]

Nice win today for the Sox. It was especially impressive to see them bounce back after what happened last night, but that's why Beckett is the ace.

Overall, the last two nights have been very disapointing for the Yanks, in my opinion, because there two best starters were so poor against a playoff-caliber team.

[TheKilo]

So much for last night's rant by elsrbueno that Becektt is not an ace and he can not pitch in big games

wtf, Tito says Gagne wont be used today? Last time I checked he hasnt been overworked, unless he is hurting again. The best asset he brings the Sox in the end, just might be the comp draft pick when he signs with someone else

Or he hadn't pitched in two week until Tuesday and maybe he doesn't want to put too much stress on the shoulder.

Or something.

[TheKilo]

He continues to impress me. Textbook swings, taking pitch after pitch whether its a strike or ball, unbelieveable eye on this guy. Never saw a pitch he liked, and I love his dirtdog attitude. I love how he gets so pissed off after leaving the bases loaded, really shows his unbelievable heart and love for the game. A true gamer.

What the fuck? The guy got on base three times AND had the game winning RBI and he still gets shit on.

Fuck that.

[TheKilo]

I heard him say that, too. But what does that really mean?

It means Manny might be on his way out.

[MANNYHOF24]

What the fuck? The guy got on base three times AND had the game winning RBI and he still gets shit on.

Fuck that.

J.D has played better of late, but seriously the way you have been talking about him lately makes it seems like he has done anything this season. Wouldn't you rather have Ellsbury in RF rather than Drew when Manny gets back?

[TheKilo]

Hey asshole I've been in that boat for a month now. ;)

PS Sox starters this series:

12.2 IP, 7H, 14K, 7BB, 3ER (1.10 WHIP, 2.13 ERA)

Yanks starters this series:

9.2 IP, 18H, 8K, 5BB, 9ER (2.48 WHIP, 8.37ERA)

Where are all the Yankee trolls now?

http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/bsplit.cgi?n1=drewj.01&year=2007

In 11 September games JD Drew has a 1.037 OPS.

So my answer? No. Plus Jacoby has a shitty arm for RF anyways.

[TheKilo]

PS all the people who wanted Buchholz to pitch the 9th are fucking retarded.

[TheKilo]

I'm a Yankee fan and I'm here, but I wouldn't consider myself a troll.

Nor would I, in fact I enjoy reading your posts the most out of any Yankee fan.

You're very objective. That's commendable.

In 11 September games JD Drew has a 1.037 OPS.

So my answer? No. Plus Jacoby has a shitty arm for RF anyways.

I disagree. Jacoby just makes things happen, Drew is a singles hitter right now and he doesn't bring the speed element than Ellsbury does. I don't maybe you are right, but how can you justify not letting him play when he has been so damn productive all season long, at every level he has played at?

PS all the people who wanted Buchholz to pitch the 9th are fucking retarded.

Well we agree on one thing. I could see him pitching say the 7th and 8th tommorow night if Schilling can make it through six innings. Why waste his limited appearances in a game that is in the books?

Have you seen Jacoby's AAA numbers?

I love the guy, don't get me wrong, I just think it's HIGHLY unlikely he replaces Drew in right.

He gives Tito more flexibility off the bench, anyway. McCarver mentioned that if Hinske got on in the 6th today he would have been pinch run for by Ellsbury, but that was moot once Youk got injured.

Guaranteed Ellsbury makes the postseason roster, I just don't think he starts in RF.

I appreciate that.

I love Jacoby, and I think the Sox would be retarded not to put him on the postseason roster. At the very least, he provides a speedy sparkplug/defensive boost late in games. When's Manny due back?

I have to admit I was EXTREMELY negative yesterday but Beckett stepped it up bigtime. He surpassed my expectations by far. Last night sucked big time but it was nice to see both Pettite and Wang get outdueled by the Red Sox starters.

Isn't it amazing the difference a day (and more importantly, a win) makes? We need to go out there and win tomorrow. Schilling vs Clemens, should be entertaining at least.

Today was the best sporting event I've ever attended, I felt the monkey jumping off of the back of every single person in the park.

I'm not exactly the Debbie Downer type that I've seen a lot of here on the boards -- and I'm not the first to start with the chicken little bullshit, and I'd like to think I'm one of the first to tell those that do to shut the fuck up about it -- but did anyone else feel like they got punched in the gut when you saw Coco stop at the wall and look up as Jeter's HR went into the batters eye? I'd like to think I remain pretty positive when it comes to the Sox, aside from the occasional "this team sucks" comment before I remember how good we've been, but for whatever reason that early deficit just made me go "Here we go again..."

Great, great, great win. Hard to say exactly how huge this win was after that game the other night and the sweep the last time we played the Yankees but this was a big one... mentally, and in the standings. Sounds like Beckett was flat dominant.

after yesterday's debacle, today was an incredibly satisfying victory

[jacksonianmarch]

and it pretty much ensured you of the division. As a yankee fan, yesterdays game has officially shifted my focus to the WC. Up 3 in the L column with 14 games to go, time to hold on tight.

I wasn't very much a fan of Hinske's... I sure as hell am now.

[BoSox21]

obviously its too bad Posada hung on but i loved what Hinske did. thats exactly the fire that I talked about they were missing during the series in New York

[schillingouttheks]

Hey asshole I've been in that boat for a month now. ;)

lol, I know you have been. I don't think you were in that thread after the game ended (or while I was there at least), but I sure wish you were. I would have had someone else to help me tell everyone to chill the hell out.

Someone step up and make the GT.
