Afternoon All
Go Sox!!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

I am at work
listening to Castiglione get SUPER excited about Jeter’s base hit

Damn
Anyone else noticing a 95 MPH fastball from Lester? Has it been like this all year?
Pavano is on waivers per Castiglione
wonder where he goes…wouldn’t it be great if he had a huge comeback?

Lester fights out of an early jam.
His 4-seam fastball is looking great, hitting 95 with regularity (usually it sits at 92, 93). And he threw a good curve to strike out A-Rod.
Yawn
I hate these early games…
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.
Kotsay delivers!!!
I’ve liked the dude since he was with the A’s. I’m glad we got him.

Cody Ransom
Probably nothing to be worried about. Age 32, career .240 minor league hitter with good pop (20+ home runs with Scranton Wilkes Barre).
All up to Cora

Better inning from Lester
still a lot of deep counts. I’d like to see him get some quick ground ball outs, so he can go deeper into the game.
trivia Q&A for first game at the new yankees stadium
What Red Sox had the team’s first hit in the team’s last game at the old Yankee Stadium?
Mark Kotsay is not the answer that’ll come to the casual fan.
Red Sox offense looking helpless.
Ellsbury K’s on three straight pitches. Pedroia pops up. Will we ever score some runs off Mussina?
Sit down, Damon
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.
Now would be a good time for number 25

Nice pitch by Lester to get A-Rod

was Ellsbury out?

I'm not sure
But running on Molina is not very smart.

Great job by Lester to get out of this one
I have to leave now. Hope the pen keep the lead on this one. See you guys later. Go Sox!

a bit late but
Bye

interesting discussion on the radio
who would be the #2 playoff starter : Lester or Dice K ( if Sox make it of course)
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
depends where it is
Lester’s Home/Away splits are more extreme than Dice-Ks. I would want him pitching at Fenway.
At Fenway:
Lester 7-1 2.93 ERA
Dice-K 8-2 3.28 ERA
On road:
Dice-K 7-0 2.67 ERA
Lester 5-4 4.11 ERA
Must be the stash
Giambi hits a 2 run shot to center off Okajima. One of those goes to lester… what a waste of a great outing by Lester. Varitek had a chance to end the inning on the hitter before that but he couldn’t hold on to a foul tip from Ransom

Haven’t we been here before quite a few times this year?

In such an important game,
why leave Masterson in the pen unitl it’s too late. Francona should have brought him in right away, IMO! This was not the time to have a rehab experiment with Okajima!

bummed that Oki gave up that HR to Giambi
Lester pitched great
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Oki sucks and has all year
Feel bad for Lester, who deserved a victory. Well, hopefully a better reliever will get the win for us.

Masterson & Arod have got a thing going
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
am bummed but whatever ; even if the Sox lose
“2 outta 3 aint bad”
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
2 outta 3 indeed
Giambi finished what he started. Rivera takes the W, Masterson on the hook for the loss. Needless to say next series coming up against the White Sox pretty huge for both teams.

"Needless to say"
but ya said it anyway…
I knew someone who thought the saying was “needles to say”…no idea how or why he came up with that.
anyway…hope MN loses

bad day for the bullpen
Don’t like it. Don’t like it at all.
Well, September’s schedule favors the Sox. They have a nice home/road advantage, as opposed to the Rays and Yankees. Haven’t looked at the Twins and White Sox, but they must play each other, right?
Yep
it was on at like 4:00 am here, sorry I missed it. A tough loss and me probably moreso then most, absolutely cringes when the pen f*cks it up. To think that effing juicer got us twice today, damn I hate that piece of sh*t. Sorry, I just really have this thing against Giambi. I don’t actually mind(well I do, just less so) when we get beaten by Matsui or Cano, but Giambi and Jeter just shit me.
Yes 2 out of 3 isn’t bad, but really we should’ve swept this series as NY is just futility personified right now. There batting is out of sync and their pitching is woeful.
Our guys on the other hand are looking sweet and hello 20 of next 29 games at home(or there abouts)
And hopefully:
2 out of 3 after that, 2 out of 4 after that, and another 2 out of 4 after that!
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
We can take this loss....but not the loss of Beckett
That’’s the real bad news of the day, not today’s game. Man, if he goes down for the rest of the year that would be the last straw. I mean, how much adversity can one team take in one season? Let’s hope the news is good on Josh.
Crap
Bad news about Beckett, and we lost the game. I shouldn’t have left home, maybe things would have gone different. :)
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.
