Celebration Tonight?? YES!!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!!

Oh man.
What a night!!
First I miss the entire game except for the very last Twins out!!! Today is my daughters 13th birthday!! So we were celebrating at my parents house. I was watching a bit on my cell but that was just the score..
Thanks Sox!! You gave her a great birthday present!
The game......I can watch the replay on MLB.TV so I will not talk about that now.
After doing all the required Dad stuff after the 10 seconds of the Sox game I got to watch, I finally was able to watch the whole 10th inning of the MFY vs O's.
Chumpies loaded the bases and could not score.. Nice watching A-Rude standing on third with his mouth hanging open with no place to go!!
O's also load the bases with 1 out Millar comes up. I was hoping he would drive in a run. How poetic would that be?? I great ex red sox players nailing the lid on the coffin on the yankees.
Well Kevin tried but struck out...2 down up comes Melvin Mora ( Red Sox fans new hero) who lays down a bunt along 3rd base bring in Tike Redman.


I'm buying my 2007 American League East Champ Hat right now!!

I can not begin to tell you how thrilled I am!!

GO SOX!!!

Celebration Tonight?? NOPE!!!!

Ok Red Sox Nation.....
Put the champagne back in the fridge...stow the special Oktoberfest beer back in the cooler... we came up a bit short tonight.

Beckett has an off night and our bats did not sing well enough. Leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth hurt a heck of a lot.
We really need to work on that LOB stuff one day!!

Does it matter... not really as we are in the playoffs!!!! That's what counts.
Sure I would have loved to see Beckett get number 21. But it was not meant to be.

Even Lowell was not hot tonight..

Tomorrow is another day and we will see our Sox rise up at Fenway and play the greatest game in the world!! Dice-K is going to serve up some wasabi coated sushi to the Twins !!! They will be to busy fanning their burning bung holes to swing the bats!!

Magic number is still at 2. Three games left at Fenway!! I can not think of a better place for our boys in their red socks to play!!

GO SOX!!!

Celebration Tonight??? Maybe!!

Will we be seeing this kind of celebrating tonight???
It's possible!!!

Going into tonights game our magic number is 2 for the Division Title.

If the Sox beat the Twins and the Yankees loose to the Rays we will have clinched the Eastern Division!!!

Pitching for the Sox tonight is Mr. Joshua Patrick Beckett 20-6 ERA 3.14.


Pitching for the Twins we have Boof Bonser
( with a name like that he gets no MR. ) 7-12 ERA 5.09.

Well not much of a match up there Boof's ERA for September with three games is a wopping 11.17!!!
Joshua Patrick's ERA for September with 4 games is a wee 2.25

OK...I bet the farm on Joshua Patrick tonight!!!

Looking at the MFY at the Rays.....

Pitching for the Yankers is Philip J. Hughes ( No Yankee player gets a MR. ) 4-3 ERA 4.80.
Pitching for the Rays is Mr. Scott Edward Kazmir ( Rays players get the MR. for scrappyness) 13-9 ERA 3.54.
Hughes ERA for September with 4 games is 3.18.
Kazmir ( who we Sox fans know all too well) whos Era for September is 2.16 with 4 games.
Kazmir faced the Yankers 3 times , 2 in April ( both losses ) and once in July for a win.
While Hughs has faced the Rays only once in August for the loss.

This matchup is on the fence for me. Kazmir's win was in July when the Yankers started their surge. So he might be able to shut them down if his control is spot-on. He did not win any games against the Sox.
Hughs was called up in August and has done a good job on the mound.

So Sox fans.. lets send positive vibes to the Rays so the Kazmir can get the ball dancing and the Ray's bats get so hot that they bust into flames with ball contact!!!

Also lets send good vibes to Lugo and hope his bat starts to sing ;>)

GO SOX!!!

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!!

Playoff 's Here comes da RED SOX!!!

RED SOX WIN!!! Tigers Loose!!! Red Sox first team in 2007 to solidify a play-off berth!!!

Music to the ears of everyone in the Red Sox Nation!!

Saturday night saw Dice-k and Lopez get rough up a bit but the Boston Bats were singing a high note and the game was ours!!
I will be at the Trop on Sunday and hope the winning keeps on coming as I would love to do a HAPPY DANCE in the sands!!

GO SOX!!!

Happy Dance!!!

Baseball might be dragging me down a bit but I can always count on my three kids to cheer me up.
Today we received interim report cards for them.
Alexa, our 16 year old has all A and 1 C.
Kayla our 12 year old has all A's and 1B.
Kyle out 11 year old has all A's one B.

I AM DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

Way to go Gagne

This man is Boston's Public Enemy Number One !!!

Well, he did it again. Gagne lost another game for the Sox.

Game was going fine Lester pitched 6.2 innings allowing 1 run. Manny D. comes in for the final out of the 7th. In the eight, Gagne gets the first 2 batters out then allows a hit, 3 walks then another hit. He gave 2 runs on a plater to the Jays.

Lugo gets a homer in the ninth but then the Soxs are halted and we have yet another loss 3-4.

Now I am 100% convinced that Gagne is working for the Yankers as a 5th column agent. The Yankers have killed Baltimore 12-0 ...so we will wake up on Wednesday morning with only a 2.5 game lead..

UGH.. I have such a headache now.....
