STICK A FORK IN 'EM MOJO!

 

By the way, I'm not making a political statement here or anything, I just thought the picture was hilarious.

 

GO SOX! ORS, our fabulous duo of combined mojo power will lift the Sox today. Make sure you find something interesting.

[ryanromine]

I hate heartbreakers like last night! Go Sox!

[ryanromine]

The Sox all time record at home against the A's is 506-318..Lets add another win!

[RedSoxRooter]

**In seabeachfred's voice**

 

Yes, fine fellows. I believe we all need something to wash the taste of Jon's Papelboner out of our mouths and down our throats forever! Mmm. Go Sox!

[ryanromine]

Every great closer in baseball blows a save every now and again! Can't hold that against him. Tito still has great confidence in this kid. The thing is Papelbon doesn't let a blown save get to him, he always bounces back! Tonight will be a great game for Beckett and the Sox!

[ORS]

Get angry. Get even.

Excellent Movie.

[mosox]

Tito was just on WEEI and says Cora is at second tonight and Drew is penciled back in the lineup after "flu-like" symptoms last night.

[adam123]

Cora is on fire way to go tito get him in the game .. go sox

[schillingouttheks]

Drew had a nasty stomach bug last night. Sounds like he's okay now though.

[adam123]

Josh Beckett first 6 game winner tonight wooo hoo

[schillingouttheks]

I went to the game last year where Beckett pitched against Oakland and he got absolutely lit up. Hopefully he remembers that night very clearly and goes out there and absolutely dominates their weak offense.

[yeszir]

In that picture, was Gaudin attempting to have his goatee on his chin? Because I'm pretty sure he failed.

[BoSox21]

when puberty hits, that thing will really kick in

[Cocos Disciples]

Sweet, I'm goin tonight!

The Red Sox Must Punish the Athletics...

[riverside sluggers]

Hideki Okajima was named the AL Rookie of the Month

 

Josh Beckett finished behind Johan Santana for best AL pitcher of the month. Johan in 6 starts was 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, 45 Ks in 40 innings

[Youk Of The Nation]

Nice.

What the hell?

[BoSox21]

Santana won that on reputation, no way he had a better month than Beckett

[Anuj09]

Johan was hittable in his last few starts but thats typical Johan in april. Beckett still deserved it though

[TedWilliams101]

Very nice inning for Beckett.

[TedWilliams101]

Lets make a walk here, Lugo!

[TedWilliams101]

weak....

[BoSox21]

Youk's got a pretty vocal young female fan behind home plate somewhere

[Youk Of The Nation]

Another good inning for Beckett.

[Anuj09]

wow Guadin is mowing them down GET SOME f***IN HITS

[BoSox21]

nice job Coco, let's get some runs here
