July 5th @ Texas

[ORS]

6 pitch save for TIMM-MMAYY!........he needs to keep his finger in Foulke's dike until the deadline.

[YanksHater213]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we have a new closer.

[riverside sluggers]

damn timlin, nice 6 pitches in the 9th being a groundout, fly out, then strikeout to end the game. good way to start off with foulke possibly being out for awhile. and then the baseball gods said undo foulke from the game, then there will be great joy

[BrentD22]

This game is what you call "things to come".

 

Good timley hitting, great pitching by Wake (mainly steady into the late innings), Timlin closed it out, and good fielding except Rentashortstop.

[Youk Of The Nation]

....who made up for one error by going 3-4. Yeah, he needs help, but Jetah has ten errors and hes still hitting. Give Edgah a break.

[riverside sluggers]

yeah true, im a fan of edgar. surprised by mirabelli going 0 - 4, all strikeouts--trot and olerud both 0 - 4, and bellhorn was also hitless, but ah well thats not worthy pointing out

[Youk Of The Nation]

I was dead shocked at Olerud and Belli both.

 

But Manny. Fwam! Four more to beat Gehrig.

[riverside sluggers]

sox sure do have the grand slams goin this season, the whole season of 04 sox had connected for 5 grand slams. Halfway thru this season, already up to 8 of them, manny doing his part hitting 3. Very cool note of interest, refcord for red sox season is 9. bound to go past that i bet easily

[Youk Of The Nation]

Manny had 3

Papi had 1

Belli had 1

Nixon had 1

Renteria had 1 (17-1, hehehehehe....)

 

 

I cant for the life of me remember the other one.

[Youk Of The Nation]

A non-Sox related point of interest. Two inside the park homeruns have been hit in two days. Yesterday by Coco Crisp and today by...uhm, some guy from Oakland.

[DOrtiz4prez]

I Love Timlin

[ARod2212]

but Jetah has ten errors and hes still hitting. Give Edgah a break.

It's Jetuh! Get it right, we don't need that New England accent on Derek's last name! We need that 3rd grade educated, construction worker from Brooklyn accent.

 

Edit- also, Timlin is closing because Foulke is hurt, or because he hasn't been effective? I haven't paid attention to the situation all that closely.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Rumors are that Foulkes hurt. What really happened, I think, is that Manny and Papi roughed him up and bruised him a bit.

[riverside sluggers]

Manny had 3

Papi had 1

Belli had 1

Nixon had 1

Renteria had 1 (17-1, hehehehehe....)

 

 

I cant for the life of me remember the other one.

 

jay payton had hit the grand slam to left field against the d-rays

[Youk Of The Nation]

Thanks!

[schillingouttheks]

Well this thread wasn't as humorous as last night's, but of course, you're not going to get many of those

[YanksHater213]

Of course not...

[soxie thefangirl]

What a nice, clean win. Awesome. Hopefully we can take tonight too and gain some ground.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Just got back from this (yesterday's) game, all I need to tell you is that the Sox were very well represented and "Let's Go Red Sox!" was echoed throughout Ameriquest Field LOUDLY every inning.

[soxie thefangirl]

That's awesome!

[YanksHater213]

I'm not surprised. From what I see on TV, its like that almost everywhere.

[Sox fan in Tex]

I knew we traveled well, but I wasn't sure how well it was going to be here in Texas. Turns out, the cheers were louder for the Sox than for the Rangers. Man, after Manny hit that grand slam the place just went into a frenzy.
