update from nesn, the sox have edged the san diego padres to own the best bullpen ERA in baseball

[schillingouttheks]

Damn straight, bitches.

[See Red]

It helps that San Diego gave up 5 runs in the 8th inning to Colorado.

First post ever here, great site. Went to the game last night, amazing to see Lester in person and to see the guys give him that nice lead early on. There were easily more Boston fans than Cleveland fans there last night, and many Clevelanders were pretty embarassed that the city doesn't support a team that's in the wild card lead and only two back of the Tigers.

 

This should be a dandy of a series, these are two very good ball clubs and these next three games should be very exciting.

I wonder...since the Red Sox won, and that makes me 2-0 lifetime in thread starting that result in Red Sox wins....if RSN wants me to start another one, lol.
