September 1st vs Tampa Bay

[schillingouttheks]

Wow, Olerud with 6 of the 7 runs of tonight's game. Amazing, absolutely amazing.

[redsoxrules]

game over !! 3.5 lead over the yanks

[BoSox21]

quite a night for Olerud indeed

 

nice little sweep of what was a very hot Devil Rays team and gives us a little breathing room in the division. Hopefully we can capitalize on a Orioles team thats spiralling out of control

Up to 3 1/2 games. Beautiful.

[riverside sluggers]

yesss 3.5 lead is back and hopefully to never drop back down to anything lower

 

best offense: duh its Johnny Helmet hitting 2 shots to the bullens with 6, count them 6 RBIs. also side props go to Millar starting to turn it around, whose hits helped with the rallies tonight.

Mueller and Ortiz both went 0-4

 

best pitching: Mike Timlin getting the save, coming in with no outs and 2 men on and having a 1-2-3 inning not letting inherited runners score. Papelbon did a great 8th striking out the side. Bronson as the last 2 starters did so, did better as game went on and had gone to 7 innings with 6 strikeouts, and just allowed the 4 runs the whole game

 

best defense: another erroless game, damon running the distance to the bullpen to catch a fly ball

[schillingouttheks]

lol Riverside, your new avatar throws me off with all the white now, used to be a lot of blue.

OLERUUUUUUUUD. Damn man..didnt know you have it in you. Now if only millar could do that every day......

yeaa haha what can i say, i started to become superstitious having an avatar that says Red Sox 05 Defending champs, its now new relief pitcher chad harville, expecting good stuff from him

[redsoxrules]

its too bad they dont play like this on the road, they might end up with a loosing record at home this year

[riverside sluggers]

well its still looking red sox's way as they play just 12 out of their last 30 games on the road. By far they will finish out on top with the best home record in all of baseball--And dude the Sox's road record is the best in the AL East at 34-35

[redsoxrules]

thats a good thing , i think they have a great shot catching the white sox too for home field

[yankeessuck013]

i just got home, glad to see we won and r up 3.5 games now and the yanks are going to oakland, but I wanted to know if foulke or harville pitched?

[riverside sluggers]

Bronson went 7 innings, put less pressure on the pen. Paps pitched a hell of an 8th inning, allowed 1 walk while striking out the side. Then came back in the 9th and gave up back to back singles. Tito brought in Timlin with 2 men in base who settled down the D-Rays 1-2-3 for his 3rd consecutive save--Harville though was warming up in the pen in the 9th, if needs be. with a rookie starting tomorrow, will see Sox bullpen acqusitions at work im guessing.

Agreed. There is the added fact that the Sox are hitting really well.

[riverside sluggers]

no doubt about the offense, i was just meaning that Sox will probably be expecting from Dinardo, 5 or 6 innings

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yup, and I'd be thrilled if that what he can give us. The other factor is the way Baltimore has been playing.

[RedSoxRooter]

Lou:

"It's good, professional hitting, and that's what they have over there. They have a ton of it. Look at their bench. Their bench could play regularly on a lot of clubs. Thank God we don't come in here any more."

Oh, I just had a warm/fuzzy moment.

[yankeessuck013]

look at this from the yes boards

 

olerud should be hanged, drawn, and thirded. the streets of boston should run red with his blood. he's a coward and a traitor. " oooh! ooooh! my foot hurts too much! Ouch! sorry yankees, i cant help you anymore because i really hurt my big old foot! Ouch!"

 

the guy is a 5-star jerk.

 

unclassy bastards

[Ray10]

Another come from behind victory. John Olerud with 2 Homeruns and again Edgah gets an RBI . Arroyo was decent but still kinda shaky.
