July 5th vs. Tampa Bay

[schillingouttheks]

I know it was an out, but that was a loud out. Lugo's been seeing the ball a lot better it seems and I'm happy for the guy. He looks a lot better at the plate.

[TheKilo]

I love Coco right now.

[TedWilliams101]

I love the people who said Coco is just an average CF because he doesn't get good jumps...

[a700hitter]

Sweet catch by Coco. He made that one look easy.

[riverside sluggers]

Crisp with another gold glove catch! In terms of defense, he has been this years A-Gon for us

 

This is def Beckett's last inning. He is approaching 100 pitches, large lead, and batters are making good contact against him

[RedSoxRooter]

Beckett's standing 10 ft tall out there tonight. AND WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE D-RAYS TRAINER'S MISSING THUMB PART? EWWWW

[schillingouttheks]

lol...missing thumb part?

[a700hitter]

Navaro got messed up in that collision. He got knocked silly and Beckett didn't even budge an inch. Beckett is a scary dude.

[riverside sluggers]

Beckett walks toward the dugout to a roaring crowd, lifts his cap up in the air in response... next stop, pitching in San Fran

 

Awesome to see the Sox do that for Okajima

[BoSox21]

I just got home. any reason why Manny was taken out? injury or cause of the blowout?

Blowout

[schillingouttheks]

Ellsbury time!

[schillingouttheks]

Ellsbury with the single! This is great to see. He's not the least bit intimidated.

[riverside sluggers]

Kid gets jammed but still gets a base knock!

[a700hitter]

It would be interesting to see if Ellsbury can pass Papi on a gapper

[riverside sluggers]

Lowell, Beckett, Papi showing off their all-star grit tonight!

[TheKilo]

Lowell' date=' Beckett, Papi showing off their all-star grit tonight![/quote']

 

lol @ grit

[zackredsox]

Dang Lowells on fire 4 hits, 3 runs, 5 RBI's, and a home run for him tonight

[riverside sluggers]

Damn Lowell 5 for 5

[schillingouttheks]

Let's pray that they're able to keep the bats awake for the upcoming series...

[schillingouttheks]

Sox win 15-4! 22 games over .500 at 53-31. Nice.

 

Please keep this going for this weekend...Detroit's going to be really tough. They had an offensive outburst today as well. The good news is that we don't have to face Verlander this time around.

[zackredsox]

Thats some of the best hitting ive seen from them this year everyone in the starting linup had at least 2 hits ecsept for lugo and hinske but hinske had 3 walks wich is just as good as three singles.

 

 

My player of the game= Mike Lowell, 5-6, 3 runs, 5 RBI's, 1 HR

[riverside sluggers]

22 games over .500 is a new season high. Beckett improves to 12-2, his next matchup course will be facing the NL all-stars in San Francisco. The offense has been sick these past 4 games, scoring 33 runs

 

Onto Detroit where 2 of the best teams matchup before the all-star break

 

Tavarez vs Miller

Gabbard vs Bonderman

Matsuzaka vs Robertson

 

EDIT: Ellsbury sent down to Pawtucket, not sure who theyre sending up. Perhaps Donnely coming back from the DL? Or perhaps a call up for Breslow or Hughes?

 

Ellsbury up in the majors his first 6 games

6 for 16 (.375 avg) Double, RBI, 3 Runs, 2 Walks, SB

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice blowout win. Mikey Lowell ripped today, absolutely ripped. Beckett was solid, but not great. Gives the big guns in the pen a rest for the next 2 starts with Tavarez and Gabbard.

[riverside sluggers]

s***, Beckett just learned that the D-Rays catcher broke his jaw after colliding with his shoulder. Beckett is a f***ing brick wall

[schillingouttheks]

Beckett just said on the postgame show that he heard Navarro's jaw was broken and saw him laying unconscious after the collision. Beckett's a freak of nature...I wouldn't wanna run into him.

 

EDIT: Riverside beat me to it, lol.

[TedWilliams101]

Did anyone else know that Lowell had testicular cancer? That was a big oh wow for me.

Yes.
