When you have a golden opportunity like the Sox did in the 5th to get some breathing room, you need to cash in on it.  It's a one run game, and one swing of the bat obviously can tie it or put the Astros in front.  If the Sox were to lose this game, pundits will definitely talk about the Sox poor ABs with RISP.

I don't think Felix realizes this.

 

And like that, they have the leadoff man on.

Damn it can't we hit Berkman instead of Bagwell?

1-9 w/ runnners in scoring pos tonight.

There is something to the sitting. We sat him so much against his will all year. Then you ask him to play up to 15 straight. You can't play Harris against Pettitte so it would have had to been tonight or Game 3. You cant do it in game 3 with that short porch.

The bullpen needs to get warmed up right now. This is the World Series. I don't care how many pitches he's thrown, you need someone ready.

LOL at Paulie.

Alright, Roll em up Jose

Jose is fine. This is how we roll.

chill fathom, chill

my goodness

You got to be f***ing kidding me

Dammit.

Stop it you f***ing moron.

This is really bad

these ar bulls*** hbp. The first Baggy hit of the game didn't look like it him him

that didnt hit him.

This is really bad

Thank god there is 1 out

Contreras will get out of this. He has the confidence.

Contreras got away with a meatball to Everett. Politte should be in this game.

f***

s***, close

How do you know Politte will do better? I don;'t mind finally using the pen but is using them with RISP the best move? I think not. Jose can get it done

Incredible.

 

Well, on a second look not as incredible as I thought. Still a great play in that situation.

I only want the good velocity politte. Who knows how he will be after the lay-off? He will either come out hitting 96 or will be at 93.
