August 10, 200817 yr As ugly a win as you'll see, but the bullpen did a good job overall (despite making it very interesting) and the offense did just enough. I'll take it, come on Royals!!

Hopefully we get to find out if I'm right. was talking to this braves fan who IMO talks about the Red Sox like he's a closet Sawx fan as well, he argued that Quentin still won't get MVP because of Hamilton's story, no matter how well Quentin plays the rest of the season
August 10, 200817 yr I had a bad feeling we were going to blow this game. I'm glad I was wrong for once. The fact we can't lose this series is HUGE.

Did you hear Grace and that other dope on FOX pregame yesterday? They did that quick-pitch discussing who should/will win the MVP, and they like totally put the AL aside by saying- "Well, the AL is obviously Hamilton". The publicity the Sawx, Yankees, Mets, and Phillies never used to bother me, but at some point, it might have been when I heard that, it really started to agitate me. The Sawx don't win in what, 87 years, and they get a dvd after they do. We don't win in 88 years, and nobody gives a sh*t.
August 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) I don't think Hamilton will get it either. He's still miles ahead in RBI's. But his homers have slowed and his average has dropped. But he had a nice game today. 3 for 6 with a homer and 3 RBI's. Great win today!
August 10, 200817 yr Heck ya...sweet win. KC-Minny in extra's so maybe the Sox can grab 1st back by the end of the day.
August 10, 200817 yr Cool, a win on national TV, trust me, that ain't often it seems. Time Warner fixed my signal shortly before game time or else someone would have had a very pissed off customer on the phone.

He's wrong, but that's cute. The Hamilton buzz is wearing off, because it's hard to keep a buzz going when your team isn't any good or in the race.
August 10, 200817 yr QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) Dotel came up huge there.... awesome win! It seems like Dotel is feast or famine. When's Linebrink scheduled to return?
August 10, 200817 yr C'MON ROYALS SAC FLY PLEASE EDIT: DAMN IT. teahan is about as unclutch a player as i've ever seen Edited August 10, 200817 yr by joesaiditstrue

While they agreed that Quentin deserves it, there's no way he wins it. Hamilton is a lock in everyone's eyes, even if they know he doesn't deserve it. It's what I've been saying for about a month.

August 10, 200817 yr It just seems like we find ways to lose to the Royals and the Twins find ways to beat them.
August 10, 200817 yr Cool to be able to watch a Sox game on TV on a Sunday afternoon in Southern Cali........ Even cooler that the Sox hung on and won the game, hunkering down when they needed to, and had to....... WTG SOX!
August 10, 200817 yr .257/.322/.439 10 HR 45 RBI-Josh Hamilton's stats away from Texas. He's pretty average when you take him out of the best hitters park in the AL.

August 10, 200817 yr I hope the Twins and Royals play 20 innings. Tire the Piranhas out before they go back to face the Yankees for 3 games.
