Nicely done Bresloe...Could tell that Bresloe had him leaning from that 3rd base camera angle. Gardner had no idea whether Bresloe was going home or to 1st.
Hard not to like the way Ciriaco comports himself in the field, at the plate, on the bases....except for the way he chases balls that never have a wisp of chance to be a strike.
That might not have looked like much by Hill but really that was a hell of an effort. Spanks hitters are geared up, focused and going to the plate with post season intensity. Hill really had to hump up to get outta' that inning. Nice to see him do the job there.
Baltimore up 1-0 on the Rays. Wish Lester had not tweaked something. Not much hope of the Sox pen holding down the Spanks I fear. Would be wayyyyy neat if the O's could beat the Rays and we could beat the Skanks tonight.
Originally....Connecticut....living in NH now for many years after living in Mass for a several years.
So, really grew up in enemy territory as the part of Conn. I grew up in is sold pinstripe-ville.
Cody Ross for 10th player. Geez in a year like this you would almost think the award was an N/A. Wally in his padio chair went "above and beyond" as far as that goes. Not hard to go above and beyond these guys this year.
I have a hard time cheering on the A's playing in that dungeon of a ballpark. But I guess I would cheer them on. Really thinking of cheering on Detroit in honor of Cabrera's triple crown assuming he makes it. Really think it is neat that he is continuing to play in meaningless games when he could sit on his numbers and let the rest chase him.
Gotta go to AA to find more potential for the Sox which is in part the problem for Iggy. Top guy is Xander Bogaerds who is also a SS. He will remain a SS unless he outgrows the position and becomes a 3rd baseman. Xander is the guy crawling right up Iggys butt and is the reason why there really is not much more time to wait on Iggy.
Admittedly it was a very tough play but with his bat, those run saving plays are the plays he has to make if he can get his glove to it. If he doesn't whats the use.
How the hell does Jeter tag and get to 2nd on a fly ball to RF. Ross really should not play RF next year presuming they resign him.
DP started by Iggy ends it in the 1st.
Somebody must have lit a fire under the Sox tonight. Up 2-0 after their1st bats of the night in this second game. Now to see what Mr Lester has tonight.
