GO SOX, make us PROUD !!! Game to game with the VAUNTED YANK$ !!!
Once again taking an early lead with a solo shot by Nunez. Maybe the bottom of the order will keep it going tonight.
Leon with a 2R shot, I guess they’ve got it going, JBJs turn.
6-0!
Sweet inning. Sox have this team's number this season.
LOOKS good so far...… See you in the MORNING !!!! thumb_u thumb_u rofl rofl rofl rofl
Leaving the bases loaded a couple of innings back is suddenly meaningful after Porcello gives up a couple of homers.
CRAP
Sox 6 - A's 4.
And yes, leaving the bases loaded with NO RUNS scored
is starting to loom large.
C'mon Sox.
DANG IT - Joe Kelly
A's 6 - Sox 6
Top of the 7th inning
A's on second and third - one out.
THOSE LOBsters are really hurting us now.
DANG IT!
Yankees lose 3 - 0 to the Phillies.
Halos about to lose yet another pitcher. Nasty ankle sprain or break.
Sox up 9-6.
Ugly ankle injury on Halos pitcher.
Generous ump.
Kimbrel closes it. Good comeback by the bats after Porcello and Kelly go poof.
Sox win. Kids eat free. Sox in 1st place again.
Kimbrel gets the last 4 outs.
Sox beat the Angels 9 - 6.
Back in first place in the AL EAST.
Nice win after letting the lead slip away. Barnes with the win and Kimbrel with the save. On to Thursday.
Even though Porcello screwed up badly after a good start and Kelly showed why he is not yet ready to be a closer for us or anybody else, the fact is the team took care of business and with the majority of the team doing their jobs we came through---and, well, the team took care of business as a team on a quest is supposed to do. It also didn't hurt that the Yankees lost to the Phillies and we gained a game in the bargain. Of course we have another game tomorrow with the Halos while the Yankees are idle so we could gain another half-game. We've come this far, why not keep the line moving and win the finale tomorrow. It would at least give us some momentum heading into the crucial three game series in New York this weekend. Just do it guys. no let up.
