September 27th vs. Toronto

[yankeessuck013]

When was the last time Mueller hit a dinger?

 

last week

[ACL BoSox]

time to hit and run

[yankeessuck013]

damnit inning ending DP

[ACL BoSox]

wow, even with the hit and run its a DP ball... just bad luck i guess

 

lets keep the deficit at one, papi is coming up in the 9th.

[ORS]

Can our offense play beyond the first 4 innings?

[riverside sluggers]

double play now its up to im thinking timlin to close out the 9th and hope for sox at least to tie it up

 

Sox at 2nd half of 9th inning: Johnny Damon, Edgar Renterria, David Ortiz

[ORS]

Yeah, the hit and run brought the 2nd baseman closer to the bag, which made that a tailor made DP when the ball was hit up the middle.

[ORS]

4-pitch walk to a guy that has struck out 7 times in 8 AB's today

[riverside sluggers]

if it is indeed a loss, i put all blame really on tito for not taking schilling out soon enough--i mean he was hit hard the first 6 innings and just got by barely on several occasions, and was at 100 pitches when he entered the 7th inning facing the top order for the blue jays who have +.400 batting avg's against curt

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

wow Hillenbrand walked? lmao, it feels like hes swung at everything tonight.

[ACL BoSox]

7-5 Jays... if we lose 7-6 I swear to god...

[ACL BoSox]

here goes nothing.

 

Damon-Rent-Ortiz against Batista... I can only hope that one of them gets on for papi :/

[Cityofchampions33]

C'mon, lets get our bats goin again

[ACL BoSox]

here's our inspiration

 

the rally dance

[ACL BoSox]

Damon K's grrr

[Cityofchampions33]

Damon down way of the K, uno out

[riverside sluggers]

damon was laughing when he got the 2nd strike, how can i feel confident when i see that?

 

2nd strike made on a bad bunt attempt

[Cityofchampions33]

if Rent gets on, u think theyll int bb Ortiz?

[ACL BoSox]

if Rent gets on, u think theyll int bb Ortiz?

 

What? To get to Manny?

[Cityofchampions33]

Yea, just cuz of papi's clutch hitting, really is a pick your poison deal.

[riverside sluggers]

2 outs, if sox lose they will really have lost such a golden opportunity to take over sole possession

[Cityofchampions33]

if we come back and win this, this game is deff going on one of those Red Sox commercials w/ Tessie in the bckground

[riverside sluggers]

thats the f***ing game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ACL BoSox]

eh oh well

[riverside sluggers]

offense only had two great innings but that was it, they sucked against the bullpen

 

eh oh well

 

yeaaaa well with 5 games left we cant really be in an "eh oh well" attitude, its not early september anymore. you do realize this win couldve put the sox ahead of the yankees by a game if yanks lose? which means theres still a chance yanks could rally and we'd be back in 2nd place

[Cityofchampions33]

riverside, i advise u change ur avatar quickly for emotional reasons...at least for tonight.

[ACL BoSox]

Well it doesn't help to cry about it. In the scheme of things, you couldn't have really expected us to go 4-0 against the Blue Jays on this homestand, they unlike the Orioles are still playing hard. Yes we could have and should have won this game, but in the end our bullpen walked WAY too many batters, and we left Schilling in too long. Live, learn, forget, MOVE ON.

 

Arroyo against Lilly tomorrow

Clement against Downs Thursday

 

Best we can hope for is 3/4 at this point.

[riverside sluggers]

and ahem thats a 3-run homerun by mora, 17-9 lead

[joe]

I have to agree with you.

When amateur Francona manages the game without Brad Mills help, expect bad moves like that.

[mosox]

I really don't know why Tito thought Bradford could go another inning by starting the 8th. He did his job by getting out of the 7th. It's frustrating to watch this bullpen. The first Blue Jay hitters in the 8th and 9th were WALKED and they SCORED. It seems the only hope is to get 7 innings out of the starters and then Papelbon and Timlin to close it out. Thankfully the O's have a little pride tonight.
