July 7th @ Detroit

The Tigers' fans boo Okajima. Nice.

[TheKilo]

This is true, but it's already at the point that opposing pitchers know he isn't going to swing. They just put a meatball right down the middle and they're back into the count. And with Manny starting to show signs of a pitch-recognition struggle, Manny should just unload of one of those 3-0 meatballs he gets.

 

Whatever, Manny knows what he's doing I guess...

 

Here's the thing though, I can understand that thought process, but if it's 3-1 he still needs to come in with something. He has to make good successive pitches anyway, so why not prove he can do it?

I agree with that, I'm just saying that when it looks THAT good...Manny should be swinging at it. If it's ANYTHING but down the middle, let it go. But down the middle = BP for Manny.

[TheKilo]

YES TODD JONES!!!!

[schillingouttheks]

Youk is begging for an AB right now.

[Cocos Disciples]

After the game, check out the Live Earth concert on NBC. It's worldwide, there's a concert in every continent, for the global climate crisis. Good stuff.

[riverside sluggers]

Todd Jones is 21 for 25 in save opportunities, but yet he has a 5.67 ERA. Dont let him off easy boys

[zackredsox]

were gonna win now

Id like to plead Tito to actually start making pinch hitting decisions, but its useless with him

 

EDIT: Sox leave another baserunner. Onto the bottom of the 9th: Polanco, Sheffield, Ordonez

[schillingouttheks]

Frustration rising once again...

 

Stick with Okajima one more inning before calling upon Paps? Or how else do we go about this (assuming we go to the 10th)?

[TheKilo]

God this JV lineup f***ing sucks.

 

Get well soon Youk.

Infante came in for Polanco.

[zackredsox]

if you look at stats you would think we were winning weve got 4 more hits and they have 2 errors

[zackredsox]

i love you mike

I find it refreshing to hear a road crowd that isn't 40% red Sox fans. The AL central appears to be one of the few divisions where that is the case (discounting KC, that is).

[schillingouttheks]

I'm s***ing my pants right now. Sheffield and Ordonez scare the f*** out of me.

[zackredsox]

DAM THAT WAS CLOSE!!!!!

[TheKilo]

My heart just f***ing stopped.

 

Julio Lugo will be the hero now. Book it.

[riverside sluggers]

Lugo you lucky f***!

[schillingouttheks]

Good. Don't let Ordonez beat you with the bat.

 

OMG HOLY s***. LUGO I ALMOST WANTED TO HAVE YOUR HEAD BUT WAY TO STICK WITH IT.

[Mirabellifan]

what's the score?

[zackredsox]

2-2 going into the 10th

[RedSoxRooter]

As we go to extra innings, I LOVE THIS. Great game so far. Great game!!!! This is fun - good old fashion Baseball! Woohoo!

I can't help but agree with you. As much as I've been frustrated tonight...this is a great game played by two great playoff-caliber teams. There's nothing better than watching a battle like this. I'll be pretty pissed if we lose, but at least it's been a great game.

I have faith in Hideki-san.

[Mirabellifan]

[TheKilo]

[example1]

[zackredsox]
