s***. I'm blacked out - well, not blacked out but my MLB package for some reason isn't offering this game. I like Murphy so far - was it a bomb? Keep the scores coming in.

 

I'll watch for updates during the Michael Vick assault on Tampa Bay.

[Optimist]

Melky and Robby put the Yankees on top.

 

(I'm not actually watching the game, they're not showing it up here on television.)

[Anuj09]

Murphy = Yankee Killah

 

i also think Pedroia is with his clutch double yesturday

[Optimist]

Ortiz hits a HR against the Yankees and no one says anything? Wow

[Anuj09]

YEEAAAA ORTIZ MVP

[Optimist]

There we go

[Anuj09]

wow gj by Snyder and i am really starting to like Bryan Corey comin from the pen

[RedSoxRooter]

you guys suck as far as updates. brief game update please? Actually, brief game summary please?

[Cocos Disciples]

2-2, top 7th, 2 outs, 1 on, Villone pitching.

[Anuj09]

yk lorreta pinch hitting for yk murphy

[Cocos Disciples]

Hah...Coco gets picked off 1st, stands there, Wilson runs to tag him, he just glides past. He was out of the basepath, but no call.

[example1]

this is a series I just want the sox to win for pride's sake.

[example1]

f***ing huge double by Pedroia!

[br3ds0x]

pedroia comes thru in clutch

[br3ds0x]

youuuuk 6-2

[RedSoxRooter]

teeheehee.

[example1]

It's great to see Pedroia get a vote of confidence from Francona. I still can't imagine not wanting BOTH Loretta and Pedroia next year. I mean, Cora is somewhat valuable, but Loretta has such great ABs, as does Pedroia. With injuries and such doesn't it make sense to at least think about keeping them both, especially since Pedroia can play SS if needed.

except Loretta probably wants a long-term deal, the last of his career, especially coming off an all-star season. I'd say the FO is gonna keep either Gonzo or Loretta and Gonzo seems more likely to me.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Pirates just finished a three game sweep of the Mets.

[Anuj09]

ehm Yankee Killllahhh

[example1]

Well, the Sox showed signs of life so far, and at least seem to be playing for pride. I'm proud of these guys for coming into NY and not just rolling over. It's the small things now I guess.

[Optimist]

With Toronto's win, a sweep of the DH wouldn't have done the job anyways. That's too bad, I wanted the Yankees to clinch at home.

[Youk Of The Nation]

One out to go and Baltimore will beat Detroit. That puts the Twins only one game out in the Central.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Also, Florida completely fell apart in the tenth. Going into the bottom of the inning leading 7-3, they gave up five runs, two of them scoring on errors. One by Willingham for the winning run and one by Hanley.

 

Amazing.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Did anyone enjoy watching Tavarez tell everyone to shut up after Ortiz homered?

[riverside sluggers]

ho-hum Pedroia continues to show signs of life as the hitter I have heard/seen about in the minors. Murphy's swing is connecting faster than I tought it would against big league pitching. Id like to see Snyder kept on next season as the long man/spot starter, and Bryan Corey at least deserves an invite to spring training.

[riverside sluggers]

Since yesterday contained of 1 thread for the D.H., I'll do the same for today

 

Jarvis vs Mussina is a tall order for the Sox to overcomne, maybe they can come out of New York with some pride that they just took 3 out of 4 in 2 days at Yankee Stadium
