Narvaez put a charge in that one.

[FredLynn]

Foul poll job.....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More proof that no team in the weak AL is not beatable in the PO's.

I have you beat. YESTERDAY  I posted that May would mow them down today. 

I was laughed at. It still hurts.

Only baseball can have this kind of turnaround.  After our best starter gets beaten, our worst starter keeps the Astros bats quiet while the Sox score 7 freaking runs against a very good Astros pitching staff.

With 6 runs in game 1 and 7 so far tonight, it's remotely possible the hitting is back.

Toro's natural position is missionary.

They laughed at Gallileo.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As Sox fans just be happy the Yankems don't play the Twinkies 13 times this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Astros just put their best reliever, Hader, on the 10 day IL.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very impressive performance by May tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Toro starts a nice DP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's gonna be fun watching Anthony in the future years.

A young player shouldn't be that comfortable with 2 strike counts.

I think I responded with baseball isn't that funny. It appears I was wrong. Baseball is hilarious.

great job by May. i love his emotion.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran in CF really doesn't weaken the Sox outfield defensively.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice debut by Moran.

[Cameron Tran]

loved the Moran deal, thought he could be a sneaky good bullpen piece. Fastball looking really good early, great run at 92-94. Slider looks solid. Needs to improve the cutter to really be effective, but a great first inning from him. Dont want to get my hopes up too early but seeing him look solid makes me happy.

not at all. people forget he was 95th percentile in OAA last year while playing primarily center

[Deja Doh]

Good game all around.  May looked good.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is pretty close to Banana ball.

[Deja Doh]

McCormick looking more like an outfielder and not a pitcher.

So did the guy who started the game for Houston.

All he needed was 6 outs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good learning experience for Moran. With the Sox  a four out inning is not that unusual.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox put a hurting on the Astros run differential.

Just what May, and the Sox, needed after the last 3 games. Great win.
