LETS GO RED SOX, LETS GO RED SOX !!! Yes & DEE DEE …… What a season...…. Will be going back & forth with the SOX & YANK$ !!!  WOW WEE !!  YA HA !!! thumb_u rofl rofl rofl rofl

Please guys, no let down!!!!!  We have our ace going for us tonight and you guys need to support him offensively and Chris Sale has to pitch another solid game.  We've built up a little cushion the past few days; let's keep the line moving.

[longgame]

The key has been the hitting at the bottom of the lineup.  The 1-5 guys are pretty solid right now.  When the rest are on, they win. 

BTW, from news coverage, I'd be surprised if Pedroia returns this year, so it will be interesting if they think they need to do something there or stick with the platoon.

Finally getting to Colon. Sox up 3-0.

[markj]

Close call in left-center. Almost a nasty collision. Gave the Sox another run, though. 4-0

I don't see them going out and getting anyone. They have Brandon Phillips down in the minors right now who has been pretty good in his career. Unless there is an injury they should be staying pat.

[Schloicka]

Nice job by Sale. Up to the pen now for innings 8&9.

[markj]

Yep, another classic Sale start. Pen needs to bring it home.

[markj]

Barring a miracle, the Yanks are going to win, so the Sox need this one to keep the gap.

[markj]

C'mon, Hembree. Enough fooling around.

[markj]

Dammit. Hembree is looking to screw this game up.

[markj]

Nice work, Hembree. I hope Kimbrel can clean up your mess.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Nice work, Hembree. I hope Kimbrel can clean up your mess.

DANG IT Hembree.

[markj]

Now Kimbrel is going to walk in a run.
