How spectacular has the red Sox collapse been? Well, Lester has never lost to the Oreos...

But he will tonight.

That's what my money is on.

1. I get it--you are dejinxing the Sox

Very good.

[joeybee12]

2. Trying my best!!! nt

3. Had a GREAT time at the game last night - right now listening to it on my laptop

Yankees are taking care of Tampa, but Boston hasn't done enough yet.

Great to see Ells, Scut and the two Lavarnway's dingers - and every one of them needed. Why they pulled Aceves to put in Bard - and Bard's apparent lack of confidence....

Yikes!

[joeybee12]

4. They've taken the lead...but you're right, not enough....

Amazing that Bard went what, over a month at one point without letting anyone score...see, they're blaming the pitching but for a long part of the season all the pitching, if not great, was certainly competent.

5. Yay, Yankees! LOL

I think it's the first time I've ever said that!

[joeybee12]

6. I will love them for 5 minutes if they hold on and the Sox do...

Then I will treat them with the scorn they deserve! :evilgrin:

9. 'Zactly! n/t

7. So it will be the two SATAN's in the playoffs again.

8. Only if the Cowpies suddenly switch to baseball!

10. Lavanway batting 5th has stranded 6 runners and allowed Gonzo to be int.

walked twice. Francona made a huge mistake having him bat 5th.

[joeybee12]

11. He's made plenty of mistakes during this stretch...don't see how he

can stick around...he is the real poblem behind the last 3 awful seasons.

[chelsea0011]

12. Final update was 3 IBB for Gonzo and nine runners stranded by Lavanway

And don't get me wrong about Lavanway. He should never have been put in that 5 spot that a veteran should be in. That was a Grady Little moment by Francona.

[Kingofalldems]

13. The last hit by the O's looked catchable, what are they saying in Boston?

[joeybee12]

14. Well, I'M SAYING...If you make $142 million, you make the catch...nt
