7/11 Day game..Take 3 from the M's and get the heck outta' here

[italstallianion]

I mentioned in another thread I think he'd replace Andrew Miller nicely.

What a nice job by Wright. Happy for him as much as anything. Every time he has had a chance he has seemed snake bitten.

[italstallianion]

What a great relief appearance for Wright. I was a little surprised they didn't go to primary relievers when the game was tied and for the better part of the Mariners lineup, but Wright has been very impressive and gave us a chance to win this. We also passed Ibanez and Morales part in the lineup so hopefully we can do something with the heart of our order.

[Palodios]

Come on guys, get Wright a win.

[jung]

Seems like we are pushing it with Wright here but maybe not.

[jung]

Come on ump. This ump has actually missed a good many of Wright's pitches. Just seems to give up on the knuckler.

 

5 2/3 innings from Wright. Now he is making a case to stay up here.

Imagine if Wright had started this game.

[jung]

The Sox have had some nice AB's today. Really it is what has kept them in this game....along with Wright

[Station 13]

A steal would be huge right here. Then two productive outs and take the lead.

[jung]

Don't you just love it when Nava burns em. I agree with Remy though. Nava was not catching up to that heater. Did him a favor throwing the curve.

[italstallianion]

Even if we didn't score we built up Wilhelmsen's pitch count and we already faced Perez and Furbush so we had the majority of our bullpen relievers available and they only had a couple of guys left, most of which with an ERA over 5.

5 demerits to MJantomaso for f'ing with mojo.

 

He probably though game started at 7 like I did.

[Palodios]

Steven Wright trimmed 8 runs off his ERA, and got his first win in 5.2 shutout innings. Red Sox!!!!

[jung]

At least for me this is one of their most impressive wins of the season. Down early...starter shits the bed.....great and I do mean great AB's up and down the order...terrific performance by Wright. Even good baseball teams do not win this game. Very impressive showing.

[Palodios]

After all the s*** Steven Wright has gotten, its great to see him be the player of the game, and make a big impact on this one. Might be the only time, but hey, huge part in this win.

[italstallianion]

Not to mention we are 4-3 in 7 games of this awful road trip. And if it wasn't for that god awful abortion of a 9th inning in Anaheim we'd be 5-2. This team fought back hard when we had to and we won some hard games. Unfortunately a lot of division rivals have been winning too, but at this point I'm happy just to keep pace while we're on the road. I'd be happy if we're 1-2 in Oakland and finish the road trip at 5-5.

Exactly, who knows how many more innings he's going to have for his career, I think he's 29 now and this makes like 9 innings for his career, so I imagine he appreciates each one he has.

Sox stole one today. Heart of a champion.

 

Wright was the star of the game.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm at work but as I got updates, I thought we were in deep s***. The Sox really put up a fight. This is a well deserved win. Wins like this are what get nice little win streaks going on.

[italstallianion]

Now we can just sit back and wait for the draft signing deadline tomorrow afternoon. Hope we get at least one more guy to sweeten the pot.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Also, where the f*** did this Mariners offense come from?

[a700hitter]

I never like to think in terms of destiny, but when a bag of garbage like Wright goes 5 2/3 scorless to get the win in relief I start thinking that way.

[VA Sox Fan]

jung MOJO! Way to be!

 

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!

[MJantomaso]

Can I have my thread creating privileges back?

Maybe later you Delta Bravo. jung saved your ass!!

[MJantomaso]

It was meant to be.

[VA Sox Fan]

It was meant to be.

 

Ahhhhh yes it was!!!

[Thunder]

This A's series will be fun. The 2 best AL teams. Pitching will be important as always playing in the giant coliseum. If the Red Sox still find a way to score 8+ runs like they have in the last 3 games, I will be impressed.

[jung]

You guys need to tell me so that I don't screw up. Given the win do I need to start the game thread for tomorrow? If that is the case I might start it tonight just so I don't screw it up.

[MJantomaso]

Technically, I have not yet tasted the bitter taste of defeat.
