If I suck like IKF I hustle my ass off on every play.

Exactly.

Early dodging trouble but doing the Sox specialty , allowing 2 out baserunners.

Avoidded the bomb so far but one mistake and .....

Meanwhile Sox lineup gets men on base but avoids RBIs

[FredLynn]

Chance the Flops score here:

0

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice bunt by Sogard.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks Mrs Olson.

[FredLynn]

Well they got one as a gift

[vegasbob]

IKF hitting when it counts.

Mayer was lucky Olson did not make that play but it's all good

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's no way to treat your Elder's.

[vegasbob]

If the Braves catcher could do so, we would have had another out at home.

Nice combo of hitting, Braves miscues and lots of Sox scoring

[FredLynn]

6-0 most runs scored this year?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hope having a 6 run lead doesn't disorient Early.

[vegasbob]

Abreu gets a hit for 2 runs . That's an excellent sign when Duran, Cedanne and Wilyer hit consecutively

The BP crew is grinning widely

Even we cannot lose this one, right. Greg ?

Look at the freaking lineups!!!!  Atlanta starts 7 righty bats against lefty starter Early.  Thanks to the green monster in LF the Braves have huge advantage.  Sox start 4 righty bats and 5 lefty bats against righty Elder.  Two of the lefty bats are Sogard and Gasper, both switch hitters.  

 

 

Lest there be any doubt I have by far the best insights on game threads.  Sox are losing 6-0.  

Oh, wait.

You're still good , Max. Keep predictions like this coming

This is the 3rd time this month the Sox have had a 6 run lead. They won the previous 2.

Mr Foulk fielded the last out of the 2004 WS. And, of course, the Cards' batter, who made the last out wore the number 3.

Foulk pretty much sacrificed his career for that 2004 season. A class act.

Breslow thinking about how to make people respect his intelligence

[vegasbob]

Foulke looks in better shape than some in our BP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran seems to have his mojo back of late. It's a different offense when he's productive.

Big congrats to Early on a nice 7 inning shutout !

Now with a 6-0 lead, who does Tracy bring in to hold the lead ?

Dr. Watson, I presume

"Maybe if I had hired Alfalfa as manager before the season started, things would be better. Buckwheat urged me to, but I stupidly ignored him."

Early has been one of the few pleasant surprises so far this season.

Those watching tonight's game please do not adjust your sets. There's nothing wrong with your TV.

[Duran Is The Man]

seven runs and thirteen hits -all singles. small ball indeed.

[FredLynn]

Nice to score 7 runs. We remain last in baseball in runs scored.
