Today's my birthday!

The only thing I want is a 13-2 win.

Pedroia 2nd in the AL in hits.

Behind Ichiro? Where the hell did he come from?

We have been hitting the ball hard, but outs are right at people.

What?

Ellsbury grounded out weakly, Pedroia homered, Papi struck out on a half swing, Youk hit it hard and didn’t make out, and Bay hit it semi-hard and made out. So I’d say one out was made by hitting the ball hard, but it’s not like that was right at Lind.

Damn

Lind made a nice play on that.

It was one of those "catch, then dive" not a "diving catch".

Marcum getting hit HARD.

Bay scorches one, but it hangs up too long.

Terrible delayed throw

but good job by Pedroia to make it look close. Safe.

I'll be cutting in and out

because Tropical Storm/Depression Fag Fay keeps causing power surges.

Crisp sucks more momentum?

Byrd crap

5-4 after an Overbay homer. How long is this guy gonna last for us?

by soxaholic on Aug 22, 2008 8:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Got home just now

This one looks sweet.

It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Byrd actually pitched pretty well tonight

And the bats came through against a guy who had been tough on them previously.

by soxaholic on Aug 22, 2008 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

The byrdman will give us this kind of start

We know he’ll likely give up 3-4 runs, but he’ll keep the game close and eat some innings. I’m actually glad we got him.

Heyman has the Rockies shopping Helton. Any takers? :)

I guess

But I don’t see the point of taking Helton these days, but somehow it gave me memories of the time we nearly had him. :)

Double play ends it.

Nice job, Sox! Scoring 8 runs against the top staff, winning in an uneven pitching matchup (Marcum > Byrd), and getting scoreless innings from the pen. Can’t ask for much more than that. Except maybe the Twins and Rays losing.

by 0157H7 on Aug 22, 2008 10:28 PM EDT reply actions  

missed almost all of the game

but happy with the result.

I hope LAAAAAAAAAA beats MN.

Good Night All
