With the start of a four game set in Happytown, the Sox have a chance to put a sizable hurtin’ on the Yankees. Every win will beef up the already imposing 8 game lead the Sox currently enjoy. Dare I suggest that a sweep would pretty much eliminate any Yankee post-season aspirations. On the heels of that insane pasting of the Tigers last night, I’ve got to hope the boys have fine-tuned their killer instincts.
But the bigger story, of course, is when and against who the Yankees will choose to exact revenge for A-Rod’s pelting at the hands of Ryan Dempster.
Someone in our line-up is getting hit tonight (or, if they want to be coy about it, tomorrow night), and I can only hope that Coach Farrell has sat everyone down and begged them not to charge the mound or throw a chair, WWE-style, or grab a rusty knife and threaten to shiv somebody. I don’t want John Lackey lumbering into a donnybrook only to have his lumbago act up. I want everyone healthy for a smooth October run. So when it comes–hopefully to the ass or thigh–take it, smile, drop yer bat and take yer base.
Unless someone gets hit in the head. Then it’s go time.
Nova just got lucky.
GarrettCRW Facing Mike ( Lucky ) Napoli. Yes I agree.
Didn’t we throw Overbay out with the garbage?
HolyRedSoxBatman I’m certain that Toronto did, too.
2 and 0 and the guy is struggling. And Drew swings at ball 3
Middlebrooks is starting to heat up. We need to smashmouth these fuckers, exhaust their bullpen for the rest of the series.
Fucking douchebag.
Don’t you just want to smack that smug look off AFraud’ s face at 2nd?
HolyRedSoxBatman See below.
Ichiro normally doesn’t swing at junk pitches like that.
VIC-TOR-I-NO!!!
(And actually Victorino this time.)
GarrettCRW that team is FULL of has-beens and retreads. It’s amazing they’re this close.
LOL DEFENSE!!!!
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer douche.
Jennie ^THIS, to the infinite power.
Napoli was helped by AFraud. He sux.
HolyRedSoxBatman Maybe it was his plan to embarrass PukeRod the whole time.
GarrettCRW HolyRedSoxBatman ha!
Keep burnin’ that bullpen, Girardi.
This is that POINT where we need to end this charade. A single makes this 7-2
Nice Nappy!
Nice move by Napoli.
6-2. Should be more. Way to close.
I love the new strategy. Keep it close for 4, then start ravaging the opponent’s bullpen like Mehmet sacking Constantinople.
Evening!
So far so good. 🙂
sit down jeter
Jeter is lookin old and creaky. Move on with Rivera before you embarrass yourself.
Oh, sit the fuck down Cano.
Jennie pitch was beautiful…wtf
HolyRedSoxBatman Jennie He’s a Yankee-all he knows how to react is to act like a two year old in Toys ‘R’ US when he doesn’t get his way.
Just found out my in-laws were at last night’s game – their first in year.
They have good timing.
Isn’t this dickhead supposed to be suspended? What happened to that deal?
COYS cheaters cheat

English Sox Fan Sharpie COYS Thanks, mate.
Another RBI!
Thornton looks like a deer in the head lights. Get him the fuck out…
HolyRedSoxBatman He’s stinkin it up
Sharpie HolyRedSoxBatman he can’t throw a strike
fuck these fatass fucking umps. guy was out at third.
COYS If it had been NY putting the tag, yes
& Jeter’s ball 4 was a strike
HUGE that they didn’t turn 2. Could be a game changer.
Thornton FUCKING blew this inning. Asshat.
What a fucking mess.
This calls for ice cream.
This game should have been pencilled in as a W. Taxes throws a trackball to a bum that should be in the minors. OUR bad MFY……not your good.
TAZAWA. beachball
HolyRedSoxBatman
It’s not actually over yet.
If that inning was the sox’s way of telling me to go back out drinking, I would be happy to oblige.
English Sox Fan HolyRedSoxBatman dude, I’m a never say die guy…..but I know baseball, and it has ebbs and flows. This FUCKING game got away from us. I’ll be here til the end.
GREAT SATAN JETER.
English Sox Fan When he retires, he is probably going to be in his Tampa mansion full time. Ew.
Whoever’s making that whooping sound needs a punch in the face as well.
Mike Napoli says this ain’t over.
dsbDSBCFJSDBFJSD!
Hah, lovely.
Mariano loves us, doesn’t he? 😉
Shades of 2004… Eck isn’t just whistling Dixie. Man.
UH OH, THE SOX HAVE STARTED TO RALLY!
Happy happy joy joy!
Soriano is bringing that Cubs magic to the MFY.
Ellsbury was dead meat
That’s more like it. 🙂
HA HA Joba.
Poor Joba.
Wait, did Joe West just help the Sox take the lead?
English Sox Fan Eh, screw him.
alexis_b82 English Sox Fan
I forgot this – </sarcasm>
GarrettCRW
It’s been four and a half hours since he ate, he wants this game over with.

Bring it home, Koji.
Uno.
Nice of the fans to stick around and support their team.
Just strike out already, Lyle. some of us need to go to bed.
Thank you.
Mrs ESF loves the skip.
Dirty Water in the Tolet!
Hi kids… WIN
Gutsy win under the circumstances.
WIN. Suck it, Yankees.
Guess who’s losing to the Angels right now?
Is it wrong to want these guys cemented in 3rd place?
VJ in Stuttgart Yes. We all agreed they should end up in dead last.
Rays lose – it’s OK for the Orioles to start winning again.
Or, better yet, Cleveland.
I like meat
what? NO TAKERS??
this crowd has lost its ooooomph
