QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) You can tell it's the Rays' year, like it was ours in 05. We are that year's Red Sox. We're not coming off a World Series Championship.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) Good thing Buehrle started this inning. Yeah that made a lot of sense.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) why is buehrle out there? We're saving the bullpen for tomorrow's ping pong tournament.

So they'll get 1 here and we'll get a solo shot to lose by one.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) What is Buckner's vendetta against the Sox? What a f***in joke. He's been calling questionable strikes for 8 innings now. When will the offense realize this and protect the plate when it's close?

Why does everyone love Swish so much? He must lead the league in called 3rd strikes.

Nice. This team blows.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:39 PM) I think he'll take 3 straight strikes to end the inning. I can see that.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) Swisher doesn't really hit homers from the right side. Until now.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) BA about to be a hero. In order to do that you need to open your eyes when you swing.

Take 1 right down the cock and swing at s*** in the dirt.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) I feel like I am watching the 2000 offense in the playoffs. A million popups and wasted opportunities. The 1st 2 games are more like the 1st 2 of '93. Our starter gets rocked in game 1 and then a low scoring game 2.

So Juan, BA, and OC next inning. No runs in the 8th so I guess we better hope for a good 9th.

Whoops. AJ next.

It's up to Alexei. You know Juan will make an out.

WTF!?!?!?!?!??!

That's a strike?

A little magic from Alexei would be nice.

Right there. What is he waiting for?

No DPs.

QUOTE (SoCalSouthSider59 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) It did......... I think he meant turning into an eventual run.

So we basically need our starting pitchers to give up no more than 1 run per game to have a chance to win.

And another LOB.

Better than a K or DP.

Now it's time for BA to K looking.
