Before I pass out for 87 hours and miss the start of the game. Sweet f***ing Christ.

Try to stay awake for the day game. LOL!!!

I'll have you know I didn't sleep at all during that marathon-like clusterf***. And I'll be up for the game but I won't be around here so y'all are just gonna have to make due without me. Tragic, I know.

[Kimmi]

BTR, I will give you some mojo credit for being able to pull the Red Sox through that game last night. It would have been unbearable if we had lost. Still, we need to win at least one more of these games, and a sweep would be even better. Please deliver!

 

MVP, I can't believe you turned on me after I took your side in the first game thread. I am deeply, deeply hurt. I may not recover...

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

We need 7 from Kelly today. Blowing out the bullpen in April is a great way to f*** up your season.

[Palodios]

There seems to be a mutual agreement in games like these that the batters should be swinging away. Not sure if it applies to the Yankees, but I imagine both starters going long today.

[Kimmi]

For the Yankees, McCann, Drew, Teixeira and Ellsbury are not starting. Wimps.

[Spudboy]

I just woke up and have not looked. Is it possible that while making roster moves to activate Kelly that the Sox may do something to bring up other relievers?

 

I think Kelly goes 4 inning and craps out or is allowed to go further and gets shelled.

 

Breslow and Wright are burned as I recall. Some others only went one inning.

 

GO SOX! BTR MOJO RULES!!!

Don't even think about messing with Thunder lineup mojo. I've done them the last two games.

[mvp 78]

What roster moves have been made?

 

Kimmi, I have that affect on people.

[mvp 78]

@PeteAbe: No roster moves for #RedSox beyond Wright optioned and Kelly activated. Further moves would have required 40-man move.

[Spudboy]

Time to step up Craig and Holt.

[Spudboy]

Let's see what Kelly has. Hope for the best!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

8 pitch inning, 2 strikeouts. Very nice so far.

[Jasonbay44]

Kelly looked dominant that inning

[d-money]

How is kelly's velocity?

[Spudboy]

Hope he can do it for 6 innings

[Spudboy]

Some hits with RISP please?

[d-money]

Need to do a better job with these runners on base.

[Jasonbay44]

I'll take it

[Spudboy]

Lol Gardner

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Narver!

[Palodios]

Nava ! Righties just can't get him out!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

40 pitches in 2 innings for Warren is great news for us.

[d-money]

Slappy gets a hit.

[d-money]

Need to throw strikes. Walks garret jones?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh for f***'s sake.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh for f***'s sake. [2]

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** is Kelly doing
