What a beast...

I figured that I should just post this now. At least it's officially game day (even if it's still April 15th in every timezone but the eastern). There's no way I will be up in time to post this before the game in the morning. On Patriots Day I normally just wake up and turn on the TV in my room and watch the first few innings before actually getting up. So...in order for this thread to exist (because I won't be on the computer before 10am), I'll just do it now. If the game gets postponed, oh well. I'll update the starting time if it gets changed. As of now, I haven't heard of a delayed start so that's good. EDIT: Game moved to 12:05pm. Happy Patriots Day! Today features Ervin Santana vs. Josh Beckett. Great pitching match-up. This also means that should the Sox get today's game in, Schilling, Beckett and Matsuzaka will pitch this weekend at Fenway against the Yankees. Anyway, back to today's game... I expect the Sox bats to get enough done while Beckett goes out and silences the weak bats of the Angels. Prediction: Beckett will go 7 IP with 5 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K and gets the W. Sox win 4-2 and Papelbon gets the save! GO SOX!

GO GET 'EM SOX! And I'm pretty sure ORS will keep the fallen angel mojo going.

Are you saying that wooden bats cost more at 40-75 bucks than metal bats?

The A's offense sucks. Just giving you a dose of your own medicine.

Easy. You wanted to, so you did

As a Sox fan, I don't want to see Wang either. So, I hope the Yankees are thinking the same way

If the Sox games are played from tomorrow until the series with the Yanks at Fenway, then those will be the Sox starters.

You know who didn't dominate today? Mariano Rivera :harhar:

Harden's dealing. 6 Ks in 4 innings is it?

For the record, I'm hoping Hansack REPLACES Tavarez. If we had both in the rotation we'd be in trouble.

Glaus and Reed Johnson are down as well. It's a great time for the Sox to put some games with Toronto behind them. Hopefully they sweep that two game series.

Well, that sucks. Giambi with the go-ahead dinger and Bruney closes it out. Yanks win 4-3 But, I don't really mind. Their pitchers are hurting and their bullpen is burnt out right now. I'd be pretty concerned if I was a Yanks fan.

Yanks' bullpen completely cleaned out of pitchers. Good to see them all being burnt out :thumbsup:

Score a run. Now. Please.

To the 11th... The A's are just not a very good hitting team...

Bah.

No Piazza walk off

Wind was strong, but Crosby nabs it! To the bottom of the 10th we go...

So...if A-Rod doesn't come through here, does the monkey on his back again??

Great win. Bravo, Schilling.

Well, we provide the mojo, so I guess it's kind of appropriate that we're the only two present when the Sox begin to open the game up a bit?

Ortttttt is a stud.

I also love them because they give the Yankees fits.

I have Bonderman AND Halladay on one fantasy team. It's pretty awesome that I got those numbers and Bonderman didn't get the L :thumbsup:
