The Sox face the best team in the division tonight.

 

Holt is still out, presumably still with an illness.

 

Ross behind the dish.

 

This will be a tough one to win but we should get a good look at Kelly as he faces a very strong lineup. One that represents what he will face 20 or so times next season.

 

I have hope!

 

GO SOX!!!!1!!!

Groan.....Kelly deserved better. I like Vasquez.... but Ross? Ross can't hit and now his fielding is suspect. RS need a better back up catcher.

 

Cespedes is erratic and XB has a lot of learning to do. The Orioles look to win this game by out - fielding the RS.

 

Bright spots: The old Buchholtz seems to have come back, which is a true ace until the arm goes again, probably after part of 2015. And Kelly /de LaRosa seem competent middle of rotation starters.

Is Jenny Dell sitting behind home plate tonight?

Middlebrooks ahead on the count 3-0 with bases loaded and one out proceeds to k on the next 3 pitches. Oye!

I watched it. Not pretty at all.

Pedroia with an awful game. He is going to hit into a lot of double play ball the next few years.

Got a good 3-0 fastball down the middle, should crushed that pitch.

Another shutout. How many is that? I am not used to this from Red Sox teams in my 48 years of fandom. What is the percentage of our runs for which Ortiz is responsible? Edited September 9, 2014 by a700hitter

That's the 14th time they've been shut out this year, with 18 games to go. It's going to be a crazy high number, that's for sure.

[Bellhorn04]

In his last 14 games, Willie Washup has 23 K's and 1 BB, 2 Sombreros and 2 Regular Hats.

And this kid reportedly told the FO that he wasn't going to play winter ball. Hope he has got a real job lined up for next summer.
