Mookie!!! No doubt about that one.

Sox BP better not blow this one.

Finally finding the fences!

The pen just needs to throw strikes and let the fielders do their jobs.

Good inning by Brasier. Even Mr. Drama Kimbrel should be safe with a 5 run lead. It would be nice if the Sox pad that some more, though.

Kimbrel time. Non-save situation. Always dicey with him.

markj · September 20, 2018, 10:06:31 PM

Here we go. 2 pitches in and drama already.

Bear · September 20, 2018, 10:12:24 PM

two outs in the b9, surely we can handle this one.
Go Sox

Bear · September 20, 2018, 10:13:39 PM

VERY PROUD OF OUR TEAM TONITE.

markj · September 20, 2018, 10:14:49 PM

ALE Champs!!!! Again. Still not too confident, but at least they didn't get swept tonight.

Now it's time to kick back. Let guys rest vs Cleveland. Cleveland has nothing to gain in this upcoming series either.

Red Sox beat the Yankees 11 - 6!
AL EAST Champions once again!!!!

Wright with the win. He really changed the complexion of the game when he came in. Magic number I believe is 2 for the best record in the American League. Sox might of not looked great at times lately but they were 7-3 in their last 10 games. I'll take that winning percentage every 10 games. They could of folded after the grand slam but they hung in and kept playing. Say what you want even if they don't win the World Series it won't be because they didn't give it their all. The odds are stacked against you to win even with the best record. Only 30% of the teams with the best record have won the series. I've enjoyed this season no matter how it ends.

For all our complaining, the Sox have done just what I've been saying they need to do for weeks, and that's maintain a .500 average. Like you say, Geo, they've been playing .700 ball. Now they can kick back and get ready for the ALDS.

Somehow, some way they got it done tonight. The Mookie Show and JBJ with a big hit. Let's go for the next prize: best record in the AL. Home field could be big if we end up seeing Houston in the ALCS.

The best news? We beat the Yankees 11-6 and clinched the AL East Title for the third year in a row. The good news? Our offense woke up and Wright pitched three solid innings for the win in relief against a team he has had some success against. The bad news? E-Rod walking the ballpark and Cora standing there with his finger up his ass and not moving until the bags were full and you could almost predict what would happen with Stanton at the plate. Well two out of three makes this a good night and we didn't get swept as all three series with the Yankees at YS came out 2-1 for the New Yorkers. We can pay them back in Boston in the last series and maybe send them to Oakland. Anyway we're the division champions and I can only hope our offense has awakened and we use our best men in relief and leave the chaff in the bullpen. What a great feeling to be winners but to me this is only the start. We need to advance much farther than the past two seasons-----right????????
