Fun fact, tonight's game, on Fox, will be called by Don Orsillo!
Fox is showing the Dodgers/Nats game here. Figures. Fox seems to avoid showing Red Sox games in the Midwest. :-\

Same here but they have the alternate Fox channel broadcasts on Direct TV (you may need the MLB package).

That was a very god win last night and we all should be pleased by it, coming on the road in extra innings against a good team that has given us some trouble for the past two-plus seasons. The fly in the ointment is who we are pitching today. Oakland can be a tough spot to put up a lot of runs and we have to hope it works against the home team as well because guess who is on the mound for us today? None other than Garrett Richards who can't seem to get out of the first or second inning without putting in a big deficit. Hopeful he can replicate what Eovaldi and E-Rodd have done fter a few tough starts, and, yes, the hitters on our club bring their bats with them to the ballpark to do some damage.

Yankees and Rays both lost today. Sox could really stamp their mark on the AL East with a win tonight.
Kiki with a solo dinger. Sox up 4-2.
BP blows another lead. Darwinzon couldn't find the strike zone with a compass and a map.
Deep hole here. Bases juiced, one out. And Workman pitching. Not hopeful. They desperately need a DP here.
And they got the DP! JD (really!?!) guns down the runner at home. Well done!!
Workman gets out of another jam. Onward we go.
Kiki with another RBI. Sox up 6-4.
Verdugo with an 0-6 night. Not impressed. Need to hold this lead.
Andriese?!!? Where's Barnes?
Andriese is handing out singles. Now 6-5 with runners on 1st and 3rd and no outs. WTF, Cora? Where is Barnes?
Dammit!! WTF, Cora? Why the hell did you put in a pitcher with a 5.5 ERA instead of your closer?
Ugh. This loss belongs to Cora. Of all the stupid moves, why Andriese in that situation?
Andriese is not long for this team. I would DFA him tomorrow.

Yes, they could have markj but they didn't and this is all on our genius manager one again acting like the smartest man in the room. With a 6-4 lead YOU DO NOT SEND A PIECE OF SHIT LIKE ANDRIESEE INTO THE GAME TO GET THREE OUTS. He is beyond a doubt the worst pitcher we have having failed with two teams last year including our hometown Angels out here in So. Cal. When you have a chance to win you send in your best available man to close out the game and not your worst. Of course sending R ios in the eighth to hold a two run lead was folly personified as well. Again, this is all on Cora. A most stupid way to manage a game was turned in today by the one managing our club. I'm beyond furious and will be until Andriesee is banished out of town, not DFA's bur RELEASED!!!!!!

YES & DE-DE , dissapointed with the results..... When "we" went ahead 6-4 i turned the T V off as my eyes were tired .... "WOKE" this morning to the loss , it was time to make HAY and keep the streak going !!!! get rid of that pitcher, NOW GRASSHOPPER !!!! iono iono thumb_d
Barnes wasn't available after the night before. What a shame to lose this game but it seemed like they were trying with their baserunning blunders. Plus, Santana just has no business being on this team. He bobbled a couple, missed one that he should have had and then almost ran in to JDM on another play. So no bat, no glove, oh, and didn't he get thrown out trying to steal third? Get rid of this clown.

hARD TO GET THAT DONE TED. SANTANA IS A FAVORITE OF CORA'S. NOTICE THEM TOGETHER IN THE DUGOUT IN MANY OF THE TV TELECASTS? HE AND GONZales most likely won't depart until Cora goes--at least thats the way it looks to me.
I'll be curious to see if anyone comes out with Arroyo tomorrow.
Yeah, those two have done a little bit better recently, which makes them even tougher to get rid of. I still can't figure out what he was doing behind JD in left earlier in that game. Both of them got thrown out by a mile late in the game. I swear, this Marwin giveth, Marwin taketh away routine sucks.
I meant to log on to hear last night. Remember what I said about liking Santana in CF? I take it back after the last couple of games he's been there. I thought for a moment in another game that a throw from SS/Marwin was going to get 1B/Santana killed by the baserunner. Nobody wants that, of course.
Kike's been solid recently. I thought he was a goner on that dive at the base of the wall last week, though. Yeeeks!!!

I thought Santana was going to be a plus. I was wrong too. He's worse than bad, he's detrimental. Gonzalez is similar except he at least makes some good plays, like you said, giveth and taketh away.
