Looking to see David right himself after getting pounded the last start at home against the Rangers.
With a little help from the Rays, the Sox can get to 4 .5 from the Yanks.
LOOKS like CORA is staying with his best opportunity (lineup) to WIN !!! thumb_u iono iono
It’d be right helpful if the Sox would score a run or two.
Price only goes 5 innings? Is he hurt?
Shawaryn gets some help from Vaz with the runner on 3rd, and then plunks the next batter.
And then walks the next batter. He sux. Where do they find these bozos?
Miraculously, he gets out of that jam.
Into a mess & out of a mess. Good job Shawaryn.
Yeah, Raffy!!

Don’t know that I’d call that good. Lucky, maybe. With a big helping hand from Vaz.
Another web gem catch by JBJ. Unreal.
Sox lose in 17 innings 4-3. Game ends at 1:45am. I'm going to bed.

FULL DISCLOSURE, MY EYES shut down in the 13th !! good game, wrong side !!! iono iono iono
I'm old school, but would like them to consider again the extra inning play, say after the 10th, put a runner on second and try to score him. (regular season --- not playoffs) If you play games each day, one of Tuesday's games ever week or so kills your staff, both clubs.
Is it my eyes, or is TWINS PARK extra LARGE ??? If so, must play SMALL BALL instead of LONG BALL ?? Just saying...…….. iono iono iono iono iono
I made it to about the 14th I think, but was in bed and half asleep already. The Twins hung tough answering everything the Sox were able to do.
Let's hope they can get the series win tonight.
The game could have gone either way last night (or early morning) and it went against us in the 17th. We had three leads during he contest and each time coughed it up. To boot we got 17 hits, an average one an inning and when you can do that you should be able to score more than three runs---but we didn't hit when it counted and went down. The team can blame no one but themselves for it. When you play a good team you need to take full advantage of every chance you get, but these LOBsters have hurt us badly this season. All we can do is win the rubber match tonight if we don't want to start going back to where we started. The Yankees are currently battering TB 6-1 and we need to win tonight so as not to fall even further back.
Truth be told, I believe more strongly than ever that our best hope is a Wild Card berth because it looks more and more like the AL East might be beyond our talents this season. I wish it weren't so but only a win tonight and a bang-up home stand can make me change my mind. I hope we have enough energy left to go out there this evening and prevail. We need this win.
AND WE GOT IT!!!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!
Good points, Fred. And the Yanks went on to win 12-1. I don't think they're done dealing. With their depth in NY and down the system, I think they'll go for one or two pitchers before the trade deadline, which will make them a tough out this year.
