7/21 vs Yankers

[a700hitter]

Does Napoli have a hole in his bat?

LOL!! Not that time. A big bomp from Napoli and the Sox win!!! Good night. The sleep deprivation will not seem that bad.

[RedSoxNC84]

I think it was UN that said something about a barrage of homers by Napoli?

 

Wonder if we're gonna see that now.

I don't know, ask the bat boy after he moves it out of the way of the GIANT CELEBRATION AT HOME PLATE!

[RedSoxNC84]

I told you all earlier: Expect the homer barrage from Napoli.

 

Yeah as soon as I make my post I see this...

[BornToRun]

I just bashed my knee into the table jumping up to celebrate.

 

Motherf*** it hurts so good!

[Jasonbay44]

Finally! Thank you Napoli

[BornToRun]

Screw everybody! We're winning the World Series this year!

[Standing Room]

I was busy typing a rant about Napoli, did something important happen?

You may want to talk to YOTN about this.

[italstallianion]

I'm just glad I can finally go to bed and that it was timed perfectly with the end of a Friends marathon.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Seeing this game live is an experience I'll never forget. It was just perfect. I'll explain more in to detail once I get home.

Or John Cougar Mellencamp, either works.

[jacksonianmarch]

I go to bed with a 3-0 lead and we lose in 11 8-7? WTF? CC better get his head out of his ass.

LOL, what a game thread to read this was. Yikes.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Red Sox are 2-0 in games where I mail it in early.

Shame on you. For an optimistic poster, I wouldn't expect you to give up in the 2nd inning. Since we win when you turn off games early, please continue the tradition. We have got to get these wins against the Rays.

[Bellhorn04]

Just disgusting man. Why the hell can pitchers not throw to 2B?? That's disgusting.

This game is already over w CC on the mound and you know Dempster will give up at least 7 in 5 IP

 

Optimistic poster at 8:21 PM last night.

Optimistic poster at 8:21 PM last night.

 

Last night doesn't show, but he is definitely very optimistic. VA and maybe Pal are the only posters who top him.

[jung]

SFF is very optimistic. Bad plays send his mercury right through the top of the vile but it really has nothing to do with his optimism.

 

The Sox have played tight, ugly, pressing baseball to start the post ASB period, fortunately against a team that does not have any offense and could not take advantage but once. They will have to play better the rest of the week.

I told you all earlier: Expect the homer barrage from Napoli.

 

Now I don't want you to get a big head User, but, yes, you made that prediction and it paid off last night. Certainly we can use Napoli with a hot streak to back up Papi so he sees some good pitches to hit. I also remember about your pitch for Uehara as our closer, but you have to share that with me and one other guy on this board whose identity slipped my mind because we were saying the same thing, though, truth be told, not as enthusiastically as you were. Also truth be told, we would not have won this game last year.

Call it coward or scaredy cat but I decided not to watch this game until late in the evening and when I tuned in it was the start of the ninth inning, having avoided all the angst you and others had endured. The last three innings were scary enough and I really thought that there was no way we'd get a homer from Napoli with two outs in the 11th and a 3-2 count and one foul ball off the guy in that at-bat. Needless to say we can win these kind of games this year; we couldn't come close to doing this last season Ted, and now I'm wondering if Cherington is going to roll the dice and try to upgrade both our rotation and bullpen for the dog days coming up.

BTR, I don't give a damn what the circumstances are, a win over the Yankees is always a cause for utter delight and last night was a real fan pleaser.

It would be foolish not to reinforce this team for the stretch run.

[SoxSport]

They are pulling games out of their asses, thanks to timely hitting and pitching. Playing guys out of position, having a kid like Iglesias hitting .400 while everybody says he can't hit (look at all those infield hits), having two closers go down with season-ending injuries, having their best starter sitting because he has a pain in his neck (which is a pain in the neck to everybody else), and having an inconsistent Lester and a consistently mediocre Dempster.

 

Hopefully, in the next few days, the FO will come to realize that the team has the best record in Baseball, and that the future is now. Surprise. There is no "bridge year." Get some more pitching help, Ben. And cash in a few chips if necessary.

[User Name]

They don't have the best record in baseball. And the future is not now, the future is the future.

 

That being said, they urgently need at least two BP arms.

[italstallianion]

I just hope we don't give up a huge piece for them. (Top 10 prospect)

[jung]

I agree with UN....two BP arms would do wonders for our chances and would inherently be less costly in prospects than starters....even one starter.

 

Think of where we would be if Ueh does end up overused. We are really down to no tread left on the BP tires.

[mvp 78]

Uehara already is overused.

[italstallianion]

Tazawa too I believe.

[Jasonbay44]

I've heard we have a lot of interest in K-Rod, as good as he has been this year, he was that bad last year... I really hope if they acquire him, its not for a big prospect.
