Great Night in Boston


Wow..nice night in bean town. The Athletics are in town for two games.
Tonight we see Manny back in the line up!!!! HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!! Also YOUK did a wee bit of batting . It was really good to see them back in the game. My nerves are a bit calmer now.
Weird event of the game was in the 7th A's pitcher Lenny DiNardo chose to intentionally walk Veratek to get to Ellsbury. Bad move for the A's ..God move for us!!! Ellsbury whacked in an RBI. I guess that the A's scouts have packed it up for the year?
Even Gagne did ok and pitched 2/3 of an inning and his buddy Paps came out to close down the 8th with a 1 pitch pop out.
Corey pitch in the ninth giving up 2 runs and having a rought time of it. But the night was saved when the Mighty Mite snagged a pop-up behind his head for out number 2 and then fired it to second to Lugo for the game winning out!!
Final score Sox 7 A's 3.
Yes we can all sleep a bit better tonight!!

jmp: even better. The Yankees just lost, and all the Sox have to do is go 3-2 over the last 5 games to clinch the division.

Life? She is good.

Ted,
I was watching the MFY-Rays game after HOUSE was over. Kept watching till the 2nd out of the top of the tenth. Should of watched for 10 more minutes. That 6 run 6th inning by the Rays was great. I really like the roar that went through Fenway when the Y-R game score was updated to reflect the 6 runs!!! So sweet!! Brought a tear to my eye...

Three. Three feels good. I think we'll have to win tonight to keep it there though.

jmp,

2 games.

What a game tonight: Seeing Manny, Pedroia, and Lowell tee off was great to see.

Even Gagne had a scoreless, albeit eventful, evening!

GO SOX!

Dawn,
3 feels good!!! 2 even better!!! 1 will feel best!! The division win will be manna from heaven!!

Ted,
What a great night....Manny smackin it..Lowell 5 rbi's, man he is on fire!! Dustin with 3 hits and a rbi.
Even Gagne was not half bad..2 SO's for him. Lester with 9 strike outs!! and he left too many meatballs over the plate. He still has to work on his control.
Timlin gets the win and Tavarez as the closer..too bad he let in a run.
It was a nice 2 games. Each game I felt we were going to win.. now we need to go all the way.
Four games left and we play the Twinkies. Shall we say 4 for 4??

Only spoiler of the night was the Chumpies wachin the Rays...
