I got home in time for the Overbay tying HR

 

I hope you've had a pleasant evening.

These commercials make me want to avoid Foxwoods at all costs.

I hate the Southwest and WB Mason commercials.

[Yaz Sideburn]

anyone find it interesting that it was bard, not papelbon pitching the 9th in a tie game at home?

[Yaz Sideburn]

No

 

you do realize that it's standard operating procedure for the closer pitch in that situation, right?

[a700hitter]

[Yaz Sideburn]

we're due for a walkoff

[a700hitter]

I hope you've had a pleasant evening.

Yes, and I decided to screw it up with the Red Sox.

Bard was already getting loose in the 8th. No reason to make him sit down in favor of Pap just because Dice-K was able to get through the inning.

No.

Yeah, the WB guy is exceedingly creepy.

Good point.

[Yaz Sideburn]

i'm not saying it wasn't the right decision. you just don't see a manager use a reliever other than their closer in the 9th at home very often

[Yaz Sideburn]

and here's where we blow the game

[mvp 78]

Lowry shouldn't be playing 1st.

[Spudboy]

That play typifies the Sox's season

[Spudboy]

OK.

 

That sort of evens it up.

[Yaz Sideburn]

we got a break there. snider should have stayed in the run down long enough to allow lewis to advance

[Yaz Sideburn]

and because lewis wasn't able to advance, we get out of it with a double play. i guess the baseball gods have more cruel plans for us tonight, perhaps a 13th inning loss?

Bite your tongue:D;)

 

Let's have some faith !

my faith was pounded out of me hit by hit last night

 

not really, but if they're going to play that bad i have to laugh at it

[Spudboy]

Paps looks mean.

[mvp 78]

Didn't Pap get rocked by this part of the lineup just last week?

[NativeBostonian]

I hate extra innings. They always make me so nervous.

Crank-up the AC and chill.

[Yaz Sideburn]

great pitch sequence against bautista. he fell behind 2-1 but then painted the corner with a 97 mph fastball on black and got him to ground out on a 91 mph splitter well below the knees

[NativeBostonian]

I already have the AC at 60.

[Spudboy]

Then medicate!

[mvp 78]

I'm liking the velocity. Just wish his splitter was better.
