October 13th vs. Cleveland: ALCS Game 2

[schillingouttheks]

Lugo just saved us a run... whew.

[riverside sluggers]

Crisp, Lugo, Pedroia... see if you can score some more runs. Okajima for the 7th, Papelbon is pitching on 8 days rest plus day off tomorrow (send him out for the 8th)

[schillingouttheks]

If Lugo throws to 2nd right away, they wouldve been out of the inning

 

Geez take it easy on the Lugo hating. He saved the run, and I don't blame him for that hesitation.

 

Hafner lines out to the shift. Out of the jam. Woohoo! Now if we could get a nice comfortable lead, that'd be preferable.

[a700hitter]

Dodged a bullet there. If Lugo went to first, he probably would have had assdribble. he got a very bad break out of the box, but I can't fault Lugo.

[a700hitter]

Let's set the table for the big boys and blow the doors off this game.

Please I dont want any in fight drama during a Sox playoff game. I have enough drama in my life as it is anyway to endulge myself in forum banter

I wasn't trying to bait you. I was just responding to your comment. Didn't mean to come off as antagonistic.

[a700hitter]

I thought Coco got that one. The ump squeezed the pitcher on the 1-2 pitch.

No worries. Sorry if I flew off the handle about Lugo, just the adrenaline that is Boston in the playoffs. Baseball games are my only safe haven from what is the outside world

[a700hitter]

Pedroia needs to be patient. This ump's zone is small.

[a700hitter]

Okajima will hold them this inning. The Sox take the lead in the bottom of the inning and Papelbon goes two to close it out.

[ORS]

Jeemer!

[a700hitter]

Okajima just got their toughest hitter on the 3-2 pitch.

[ORS]

Jeemer!

 

Love that little dude.

[riverside sluggers]

strike 3 to end the inning! Youk, Ortiz, Manny in the bottom of the 7th

[schillingouttheks]

OKAJEEMER!

[a700hitter]

Okajima worked over their best hitter, Martinez and the hot Peralta

[ORS]

She's so happy, she's speechless.

 

She ain't the only one Rajah.

[ORS]

If they don't score in the 8th, they need to at least get enough guys on to flip the order. Papi and Manny must bat one more time.

I love they are still playing that ad.

[ORS]

Coco has been excellent all year.

[riverside sluggers]

Lofton lines one into center field right after Timlin had "strike 3". Luckily the gold glover Crisp was there

[a700hitter]

Nice catch by Crisp. Timlin was squeezed big tim on the 1-2 pitch.

[riverside sluggers]

Haha Dusty Baker is the new Reds manager

 

EDIT: Solid inning by Timlin. Lowell, Drew, Varitek. IMO if Tek reaches, it would be nice too see Ellsbury called upon to pinch run

[ORS]

Homer Bailey's right arm just yelped.

[a700hitter]

Timlin with a big inning. He's a pro's pro.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Lets get to this guy.....give Papelbon the chance to close it out

 

So far I only see fastballs from Betancourt....despite the strange delivery and 95 mph velocity....I would think we figure this out soon.

[ORS]

Killer AB for Mikey.
