After missing 16 games, Jacoby Ellsbury returns tonight. A's are down 3-1 in 9th.

 

WIN.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wait, Oswalt isn't pitching? Damn.

[redsoxrules]

A's lost. Sox magic number for # 1 seed is now 3

[Jasonbay44]

A's lose 3-1.

[Beaneater]

Man, a win tonight would be huge. A loss tonight means we've got no cushion -- against the O's we have to equal whatever the A's do in Seattle. A win and we've got breathing room.

 

If the O's keep us from getting the #1 seed I will officially hate them more than the Rays.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

8/25?

[Jasonbay44]

s***, didn't even realized I did that. can a mod please fix?

[SoxFanForsyth]

If the Sox win, they will have a 2 game lead with 3 to play.

 

That would all but guarantee the Sox the best record.

 

Really need to win tonight.

@TomCaron: .@RedSox now hold the tiebreaker w/ @Athletics (intradivision rec.) Won't hold it if A's make up 1 1/2 games by end of season. Magic # is 3.

Papi at 1st! My boyfriend Peavy will go Yard. Ha ha ha!

Har...

[Navafan29]

If we don't get the first seed, we'll probably have to beat the A's AND the Tigers in the playoffs, which would put hopes of winning the WS on thin ice.

[Brennan]

Third inning and girardi is on his second pitcher already. This should be fun.

[Navafan29]

Helton looks like Chuck Norris. I'll let him get a couple hits on this special night, but after that, we can crush them.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Did the Rockies just give Todd Helton John Lackey for a retirement gift?

[Brennan]

Helton looks like Chuck Norris. I'll let him get a couple hits on this special night, but after that, we can crush them.

 

 

 

Yeah, he can hit into some DP's. Where does this stuff come from?

[Navafan29]

Helton is also one of my favorite players in the MLB 2k6 gamecube game.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Helton is my all-time favorite non-Sox player as well, but I'd still rather see him go hitless than hurt the Sox.

 

On the other hand, I have to admit, if the Sox were leading by 15 runs I wouldn't mind terribly if his last at-bat in Coors was a HR. It would be fitting.

Think positive.

I f***ing love Helton! But.....WIN Red Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Welcome back, Jacoby

[Jasonbay44]

Great bunt by Victorino.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, basically that's what my opinion boils down to. Go Sox, every other concern is a distant second.

[Jasonbay44]

Papi! Good start

[VA Sox Fan]

Papi PAPI PAPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brennan]

This team is ready to tear s*** up. Great having Ells back.
