Willingham struck out the only time he has ever faced Paps

[BornToRun]

Come on Jon, shut it down!

[boy racer]

1. More.

[MNSoxChief102]

Thank you...

[CarlCrawford]

One more baby, lets do this thing.

Don't blow this.....

Same story for Pennington...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

One more out. Think you can do it Papelbon? Jesus.

[BornToRun]

GAME!

[ORS]

Ballgame.

[boy racer]

YES

[transcam21]

Whew!!!!! 4 out of 5

[crc2120]

Ball game...

[boy racer]

He's always gotta scare us

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Breathes out*

 

Thank you! Game ovah!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Thatta boy Paps! Nice win for the Sox right there. Needed that bad. Player of the game? Oh, just Jed Williams.

 

Sox have now won 4 of their last 5 and face 7 consecutive RHP starting tomorrow.

[MNSoxChief102]

Nice game!

[boy racer]

Boston Jed Sox

[a700hitter]

How did Buchholz look today? He's having trouble getting deep into games.

 

Gotta love the Papelbon panic in the thread. He gets the k in the 8th with the bases loaded and everyone is panicking in the 9th. Lol! Jenks doesn't look like much of an alternative, but in a pinch, he could probably eat the opposing batter like a chicken wing and spit out the bones. Lol!

Question: Does Marco Scutaro finish 2011 with the Red Sox?

 

I think this depends more on Iglesias than Lowrie. Thoughts?

Disagree. The Sox aren't going to sacrifice playing time in AAA for Iggy to sit in MLB. Scutaro will be on the block, but Tejada or Navarro will come up and fill in as the utility IF.

Yes. No one will take his contract and the Sox will not eat it.

[Palodios]

Scutaro is used to being a utility guy. Why not let him have the spot starts?

[jacksonianmarch]

Scutaro is going to get a lot of PT. Once Jed starts slumping or if Youks gets hurt or if Pedey gets hurt, etc. The sox should know from last yr that having a good utility IFer can really help

[mvp 78]

Gotta love the Papelbon panic in the thread. He gets the k in the 8th with the bases loaded and everyone is panicking in the 9th.

 

Yeah, because coming into the 9th with a 3 run lead and getting to the point where you bring the winning run to the plate is a fun time.

[Wasatch]

Glad to see the Redsox win another, Go Redsox!

[RedSoxFrank]

Good win today for the Sox! Angels are up next, 4 game series.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Pretty lucky that they are going to miss Weaver in a 4 game series.

[RedSoxFrank]

Pretty lucky that they are going to miss Weaver in a 4 game series.

 

Yup, and we finally get to face some RHP's.

[Palodios]

Pretty lucky that they are going to miss Weaver in a 4 game series.

 

I had actually mentioned that earlier... but now that I think about it, we had a 40% chance of saying either "We're lucky to be missing Weaver" OR "We're lucky to be missing Haren":lol:
