I missed the 8th inning but I had tape rolling, now I'm going back to watch, and the Sox are going to KC!!!!!

niice game, good one to have and capitalize on yankees' loss, haha johnson 4 homeruns in the same inning.

 

Best defense: Manny 's over the shoulder catch hitting the wall, varitek catching two runners, and Tony G's definite web gems play

 

best pitching: papelbon making his 3rd consecutive great start, and at same time shouldve gotten his 3rd win in his career. And Timlin holding down the Angels in 2 innings. Curt got by luckily after 3 hits, 1 run, defense in the oufield had bailed him out.

 

best offense: Edgahh, 2 for 4 with a Double, the game winning HR, 3 RBIs--and Manny to cap on a 2 run shot to center field, after ortiz's unexpected bunt

What a game. Great job Papelbon. :thumbsup:

J-Pap has been pretty damn clutch for us in the 3 starts hes made.

[yankeessuck013]

Well, I was torn between giving this to the offensive hero, or the pitching hero, so I say to myself: Which is bigger for the club? Our pitching to become dominant, or Edgars bat? The answer, is the pitching (although the Ortiz bunt single STILL has me in tears) . While Jonathan is still a bit wild, which kills his pitch count, he seems to be getting better at this big league thing. How can Tito not let him keep pitching? Hes been our ace. (and thats not a bad thing)

 

Honorable Mentions: Edgar Renteria, (game winning homer) Manny Ramirez (nice insurance blast)

[BoSox21]

we've got an off day then 3 against the royals, the yankees have 4 against the blue jays, might be able to put a little more space between them

[yankeessuck013]

Go Jays!

[YanksHater213]

The Jays are playing everyone tough right now. Theyve been playing good this year. I have a feeling theyll do well this series.

Edgahhhhhhhhhhh huge homerun in 8th to win the game for Boston. That's gonna quiet all the Edgar haters.

[riverside sluggers]

noonanberg is still talking s*** about him, even more when edgahh hit the game winning hit into the Sox bullpen. rent is having a great august batting like under .400 with 15 RBIs in first 18 games of the month
