[Jabs]

OKI, player of the game, and he deserves it!!!!

[silvercreekcc2006]

Sleepin like a baby tonight!

[soxfan17881]

Let's stay focused, boys! Don't give an inch. These Rockies can win games, but we have what it takes to take it all.

[Cocos Disciples]

Sox win, go into Colorado up 2-0 and with all the confidence in the world. With that and Fogg and Cook going in Games 3 and 4, theres a very good chance we don't come back home.

[jacksonianmarch]

that may be the last time you see Schill in a sox uniform.

[a700hitter]

that may be the last time you see Schill in a sox uniform.

If it is, then he is leaving with 2 Red Sox rings on his hand. A nice run.

[TheKilo]

JD Drew is an animal. So f***ing sick.

 

BTW how good was Tito tonight? Awesome with his managerial decisions.

 

DiceK needs a big start. I've got full confidence.

Thanks

 

Go Sox!! Now this was a pure playoff game. From Schilling to Okajima to Papelbon, just nasty

[yankeessuck013]

Well we they win big and they win the tight ones and have given the Rockies more losses in 2 days than they have had in a month.

 

And this series is over exactly for that reason. Fewer than 30 hours ago, the Rockies thought they were invincible, having dropped only one of their last 22; now they've already lost two games in a two-night span. They're done.

[Mr Crunchy]

what a game

glad to be alive at least till i hear the bell in 4 hours

[Taliesin]

Serves you right you went against your other team tonight...I had the ignominy of begging the sports bar I was in to put on the baseball game. Last night, in the Red Neck Riviera I happened upon a pub replete w/ pink hats, native Natickers (not a word) and a die hard owner...odd. Also, a dude who felt it upon himself to explain what a bunt was to me. You can imagine the result of that particular exchange. Withering penis. A lot like Wuthering Heights except w/ less testosterone.

 

The only exciting part of this series is whether MJ can ******** his way out of his WEB MD anaerobic debate. Schooled by a computer guy. Love ya Yaz.

 

For whom the bell tolls...not for me. I'll get up around 11:00. Ain't government grand. That's rhetorical, but I'll still take your money and ya...it's a wonderful day...Rocky Mountain High Colorado John Denver singing kinda great.

Yeah, he did nothing of the sort.

At the plate was Todd Helton, the signature player in Rockies history. But he never saw a pitch in the eighth, as Papelbon whirled and picked off Holliday.

 

"Probably will go down as one of the biggest outs of my career," Papelbon said.

 

It was not happenstance. Holliday was intending to steal - he confirmed so after the game - and the Sox had a strong suspicion he was going.

 

They knew that the Rockies were scouting them in the Division Series against the Angels, when Howie Kendrick stole second and third unchallenged against Papelbon in the eighth inning of a tie game.

 

"If you were advancing us, you would have said the same thing, that Pap is 1.8 [seconds] to the plate, and he doesn't pick," Mills said. "But it was a different situation in the game against the Angels. We didn't care if he stole, because we had confidence in Paps getting the hitter and we didn't want to take anything away from him to try to get the runner on that situation.

 

"We know they're advancing us, they're watching it. That night I was talking to Pap in the shower about that exact thing, and about what was to come. [bullpen coach] Gary Tuck was talking to him about it, [pitching coach] John Farrell talked to him about it, about different things we were going to do."

 

When manager Terry Francona went out with trainer Paul Lessard to check on Pedroia, Mills noticed that Glenallen Hill, the Rockies' first base coach, never stopped talking to Holliday. Mills also had a color-coded chart he keeps on every player, that showed that Holliday likes to steal on the first pitch with two outs. "It was right there in my pocket," Mills said.

 

Indeed, it was right there on the chart, multiple steal attempts Holliday had made on the first pitch with two outs.

 

"You put all those things together, and it comes up, 'Hey, we're going to pick once to see where he's at, and then we're going to slide-step.'

 

Hell of a job by the advanced scouts.

I hope he gets an endorsement contract out of it.

[TheKilo]

PS This is the Red Sox's first 5 game winning streak all season.
