The Grandslam against the Cubs was huge, and didn't propel him at all. Screw his confidence, the Sox need a win.

Alright cool.

Marte still in Broussard flies out to deep left on a 3-1 count

 

-Hafner then doubles

 

1 out Hafner on 2nd

Daubach replaced Harris and is now at first.

Rowand throws out Hafner at home to end the inning, on a great play by Olivo after Hafner plowed him to hold onto the ball!!!

Olivo is like half the size of Hafner. He stood in there and blocked that f***er out.

Bottom of 8

 

-Broussard flies out to deep left

FEARLESS!

Mulholland in for Herrera

FEARLESS!

So now everyone wondering why Olivo stayed in the game think that Sandy wouldn't be headed to the DL after that hit?

HELL YEA!! nice play olivo! i think this makes up for your lack of offensive production...............actually, no it doesnt, but at least you saved a run.

Sox go 1-2-3 in the 9th its now hold em and go to the all star break !

I dunno guys. All he did was his job. The reason the guy was thrown out was a great throw by rowand. Olivo simply did his job. what did u expect him to do? Catch the ball and hide?

Actually I was looking for a hip check from Olivo.

He could have done the ole tag that lots of catchers try to use. And everyone is impressed that he didn't drop the ball after taking a hit like that.

Tom Gordon on to try to close this out.

Sorry, im not. I was much more impressed with the throw.

Leadoff single for Phillips, oh boy.

Leadoff single for Phillips, oh boy.

followed by a single off of the wall by Gerut. First and third no one out. Good hustle by Maggs to keep Gerut on first.

Alright Tom, buckle down.

Now Gordon's looking to blow a safe come on.
