8/30 vs. Chicago

[a700hitter]

Varitek is getting intentionally walked? He looked very confused. He's usually the batter behind the guy getting intentionally walked.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

oh ok thats why they did that

[riverside sluggers]

Thank you AJ

[Thumper]

ANOTHER NICE DP!

[riverside sluggers]

Lowrie is like Youkilis and Ellsbury, solid D at more than one position

[a700hitter]

I didn't think there was a shot at turning 2.

[German_Sox]

anyone else feel like papelbon can use a inning to keep fresh

[ORS]

That was a f***ing impressive DP.

He warmed and threw on Thursday. It's a bit early for a maintenance appearance.

[German_Sox]

three hits for ellsbury

[Thumper]

LOWRIE CAN f***ING HIT.

[a700hitter]

Minny Manny with another RBI

[riverside sluggers]

Yea Id say he's earned the starting gig. RBI double has the Sox leading 8-2. He is up to 34 RBIs, 50 is within reach

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

8 runs without Lowell, Drew, and Youkilis

[Thumper]

Julio who?

[ORS]

These are not your father's Red Sox.

[Thumper]

Ha ha Pedroia gets walked.

 

Talk about your fear.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

yeah I'd say Dustin Pedroia deserves this free pass

[MANNYHOF24]

These are not your father's Red Sox.

 

These are not our two months ago redsox.

[Cocos Disciples]

These are not your father's Red Sox.

 

Hell, these aren't even your last month's Red Sox. I feel so much more confident about this team now, than I did before the Manny deal.

[riverside sluggers]

8 runs without Lowell' date=' Drew, and Youkilis[/quote']

 

The Red Sox are the top run scoring team in the month of August. Also factor in no Manny, and Ortiz has been in the background as he tries to regain his groove

[Cocos Disciples]

These are not our two months ago redsox.

 

Hey, great minds.

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice play by O.C. by the way I really like Mark Kotsay so far. Great addition by Theo. The team seems to be really shaping up. If Beckett comes back strong I see no reason why we can't make a strong run at another W.S.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Why isn't Youk playing?

[MANNYHOF24]

Hey' date=' great minds.[/quote']

 

True that. This team is completely re-energized, and looking really strong.

[riverside sluggers]

Why isn't Youk playing?

 

There's a flu going around the clubhouse. Coco and Beckett are also sick

[Thumper]

GOOD win tonight!

 

REAL good win.

[riverside sluggers]

I love the dirty water!

 

-- Boston improves to 79-56

 

-- 4th consecutive series win for the club

 

-- Bowden gets his 1st maor league win in his debut

 

-- Pedroia, Bay, Kotsay, Lowrie getting it done on offense. With some help from a solo shot by Bailey

[Cocos Disciples]

Good Sox win! Congrats to Bowden on his 1st ML win, he did good. Sweep it up tomorrow.

I think you guys are missing my point. The two months ago Red Sox were your father's Red Sox, what with the lack of range in the OF, and the heavier reliance on the long ball to bring those guys home. When was the last time you saw an OF for the Sox that could shag flies like Bay in LF, Ellsbury in CF, and Kotsay in RF. When was the last time you saw a Sox team able to score as much as the one we've seen the last couple of weeks who hit as few HR? It's isn't just the names I'm talking about, it's the style of play.
