September 12th vs. The Torontonians

[Cocos Disciples]

Rays game called by the way, so we could get within 2.

[redsoxrules]

6 games have been rained out tonight ...

[German_Sox]

another awful offensive game so far for the 4th straight game

 

3 hits and 2 runs off of whatever this guys name is

 

and go figure wakefield is actually not at fault thus far lets get a stop here

[landia]

Up till now,Wakefeild have a good performence

[Thumper]

Up till now' date='Wakefeild have a good performence[/quote']

 

He'll give us a good 8 tonight.

 

EDIT: Maybe a CG to preserve the pen for tomorrow.

[German_Sox]

lets hope thumper we need this win

[Cocos Disciples]

Lowrie's the one man band tonight.

[The Dustball]

Wow. Terrible AB right there by Cash. You gotta protect.

[German_Sox]

wtf cash all you needed was a ground ball the other way

[Thumper]

Lowrie's the one man band tonight.

 

As long as someone's hitting and we're winning.

[Cocos Disciples]

Papi with the double, 4-0. Nice breathing room.

[German_Sox]

thats team baseball right there your hottest hitter doesnt get it done ortiz picks him up that was awesome

[Thumper]

That was a rather quick AB for Youk.

[Cocos Disciples]

Phenomenal job by Wakefield tonight.

[German_Sox]

wow what a gem he is tossing let him try to finish it

[Thumper]

I can understand if Tito puts in one of the call-ups to pitch the 9th. Give a guy some experience.

 

With a 4 run lead I don't see the trouble in it.

[Thumper]

Delcarmen and Papelbon warming up?

 

Tito you idiot.

[Thumper]

A 3 run home run from Kevin Cash?!

 

SIT DOWN Papelbon.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice Cash!

[Cocos Disciples]

Phew. Thanks Cash!

[a700hitter]

It's unbelievable how Toronto can bash Beckett's 97 mph fastball all over the park, but Wakefield's puss ball has them making meek outs.

 

I think if the Sox win one of tomorrow's game, Halladay will be pushed back and pitch on his regular day.

[German_Sox]

interesting i would have put okajima in just cause he needs the work

[Thumper]

Delcarmen?

 

Seriously Tito?

 

I mean he's good and all, but with a 7 run lead, why not save him for another day and let a new guy get some time on the mound?

[Cocos Disciples]

Dirty Water, 2 GB.

[Thumper]

A good 8 innings of shutout ball from Wakefield. Thank you for your service!

And thanks MDC for a clean 9th.

 

Nice play by Youk!

 

Good win tonight. Let's do it again twice tomorrow.

[German_Sox]

big win we really needed to beat david pearcy

[Jasonbay44]

Nice win, lets take 2 tomorrow!

[msubulldogs21]

Phenomenal job by Wakefield tonight. 8 shutout innings and preserved the 'pen for tomorrow's DH. We needed this one coming off 2 tough losses to the Rays.

 

You can't underestimate how HUGE tomorrow is. Both the Sox and Rays play DH's. Chance to really make up some ground, or if we play lousy, to lose it.

[MANNYHOF24]

yeah, those f***ers said wake wasnt the s***

 

 

Shame on those f***ers.z

[riverside sluggers]

Solid game by Wake, knew the game in Texas wasnt something to be worried about. Offense is clicking. Lowrie, Papi, and Kevin Cash!

 

I def have to give props to Toronto. They arent mailing it in until theyre officially eliminated. Putting Halladay, Burnett and Litsch all on 3 days rest really shows that. Next year theyll help the East remain the toughest division in baseball
