Mets lose to the Marlins, while Brewers beat the Cubs to take the 1 game advantage in the wild card. The Phillies also won so the Mets are basically one day away from having back to back September collapses
Not much Sox can do when Pauley is starting

Boston stats, 6 games (2 starts)- 11.90 ERA

Great win last night, although Byrd wasnt able to take advantage of a quick 4-0 lead and make a case to be the 4th starter over Wakefield. Timlin, Aardsma, MDC got the job done
Jeff Bailey and Chris Carter were given ABs and made the most of them, interesting to see a ST battle for the backup 1st base job
Pedroia with 20 SBs!!
Oh and Baltimore Sucks, last place team for awhile. Couple nights ago they had a 5-1 lead and then gave up 6 runs in the 7th to lose... then last night they led 6-0 but then got manhandled 11-6
Just win
Tonight Byrd has his last start of the season, auditioning for the 4th starter in the playoffs. I heard that Lowrie might get the next couple of days off to work on his swing
Carmona last season vs Boston in 1 game, 0.00 ERA. This season on the road in 9 games, 3-2 with a 5.32 ERA
Byrd this season at Fenway Park in 4 games, 1-2 with a 6.29 ERA
Youk's team, the Reds. Theyve got a closer in Cordero, and great young talent (Bruce, Votto, Phillips). In the rotation they have promising young arms in Volquez, Cueto, Ramirez (Bailey is up in the air), and Arroyo seems set to have a bounce back 2009 season after posting a 3.13 ERA in the 2nd half (5.97 ERA in the 1st half)
Ditto "Youk of the Nation", I was thinking they were 2 years away from contending for the wild card. Here they are at 95 wins with still 5 games to go!!
woo hoo, playoffs baby!! Oh and German_Sox, suck on it you waste of space. Hard to believe the Sox have a chance at the division. Tip of the cap to the Rays, fun to see them in an ALCS battle royale. Let Tito rest his starters
Lee last season vs Boston in 2 games, 0-2 with a 10.00 ERA. This season on the road in 17 games, 12-3 with a 2.61 ERA
Wakefield this season vs Cleveland in 2 games, 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA. At home in 13 games, 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA

# 57 Zach Jackson............ #19 Josh Beckett
Dirty Water!! 3-0 win for the Sox
1.5 games back if Tampa Bay does lose. The Sox will clinch a playoff spot either tonight or tomorrow when Beckett opposes Cleveland's Zach Jackson
Solid game by Ellsbury, great to see Ortiz displaying some power down the strech run
Dice dominanted for his 18th win of the season while oki and paps closed the door
