Cora should have played at 2nd base, i dont understand how they had him at 3rd base when Tony G has had a number of games playing that position. but oh well its the past now and Sox remain with the lead 3 1/2 game lead over the yanks

[GabeKaplerluver19]

yeah CW, he had a hard time over at 3rd.

Props to the Twins announcers. I taped the first game of the series and I checked the score after I watched the first inning so I decided not to watch the rest of the game, then I got NESN for game two, and having watched all of the third game of the series I just have to say: Thank you Minnesota announcers for making the experience of watching the game on FSN North enjoyable. I've seen many announcers since I've been subscribing to MLB Extra Innings and the FSN North crew are some of the best. :thumbsup:

f*** the Giants.

[riverside sluggers]

well that was a little off subject since everybody here was talking about the sox and twins, but... ok :thumbsup:

[yeszir]

Someone explain the smokey thing to me please.

[YanksHater213]

Hmm... schillingouttheks told me last night, but it was like... 1230, and I dont really remember that much from last night. Something like someone called him smokey once and they stuck it.

[Ray10]

Wow what a performace by Wakefield a career high 11 K's. It looked like the Sox were going to let this one slip away but then they rebounded and got it done. Nice to see Petagine get his first hit and what a big one it was a 3 run triple. Anyways let's hope the Sox can keep it going tonight against Texas with Miller on the mound.

[schillingouttheks]

Think about it this way...

 

Petagine was clutch. If he doesn't get that hit, the Red Sox would have lost that game, seeing as the way things were going.

[riverside sluggers]

yes it was very clutch but without his big hit, score wouldve been 8-7 and more tense than ever

[soxie thefangirl]

well without tito bringing the young kid in AND leaving him in too long, they wouldnt have gotten the extra runs.

[riverside sluggers]

not all new Manny's fault, cora helped with his throwing error to first base

[schillingouttheks]

yes it was very clutch but without his big hit, score wouldve been 8-7 and more tense than ever

Yeah, but then the due-ups for the upcoming innings would have been off, and different people would have come up in different innings. Yes, I think with that complexity.
