Young? Against a rightie? Is Holt hurt?

[Kimmi]

Time for us to take a stranglehold on the division.

 

WIN!!!

[Wade Boggs]

Just some more info.....

 

Steven Wright scratched from his next start will seek a second opinion. Good chance he goes back on DL.

Clay Buchholz will take Wright's spot and pitch Tuesday against SD.

 

Brad Ziegler is available out of the bullpen for tonight.

 

Koji Uehara threw BP came out fine.. Could be activated for Monday's game @ SD.

 

Three more players could be brought up next week..all signs point to Brentz, Vasquez , Hembree..

Ricky does his job. Rays doing their job. Tied for 1st when the clock strikes Sunday. Win. Dance. Repeat. x3

[d-money]

Getting help from the rays. Hope they win. Don't screw this up.

[bosoxmal]

It's been almost 80 years And they're still up!since a player has come up to the biggies with thie much hype. The other guy was never bothered by it. He KNEW he was the best

 

Rays got 5 in the 6th and lead Toronto 5-1.

[NativeBostonian]

Rays leading 7-1 in the bottom of the 8th.

[d-money]

Another chance for a tie at first place.

Porcello always seem to get run support.....2-0 Sox

[Wade Boggs]

Porcello always seem to get run support.....2-0 Sox

Hopefully, that will continue.

[SoxHop]

I wonder what the Vegas line is on us sweeping the A's...

[d-money]

Need more runs. Can't settle for 2.

[Jasonbay44]

The Hanley haters have been very quite lately.. Guess they are enjoying the 20 homer, soon to be 100 RBI season..

[SoxHop]

Need more runs. Can't settle for 2.

 

Hanley has your answer...

[Wade Boggs]

Hanley's on fire. That ball was crushed.

[Jasonbay44]

Welcome to the big leagues Moncada

[SoxHop]

Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

I wish we could play the A's every game.

[Wade Boggs]

That was a good opposite serve by Moncada. Need to keep pouring it on.

[Jasonbay44]

Pedroia is on a ridiculous hit streak

[Jasonbay44]

Every single player in the Sox lineup has a hit except Chris Young (who has walked and scored).

[SoxHop]

This is a route....

[SoxHop]

Pedroia is on a ridiculous hit streak

 

Absolutely incredible how he is playing......

[Nick]

Pedey's pissed he's leading off....he's taking it out on baseball

[StephenCurry30]

Big Dick Rick doing Big Dick Rick things while the offense is eating the A's pitching staff like they are turkey on thanksgiving.

[Wade Boggs]

9 up 9 down for Porcello.

[SoxHop]

Moncada made that play look smooth...... no trouble getting the ball.... set up and fired a bullet dead center......

[d-money]

Big Dick Rick "Cy Young" Porcello!
