5 in a row baby!!!

Gavin and Jimmy FTW

5 in a row baby!!!

Only 4, after tomorrow it will be 5. Haha.

uhh

 

are we good?

4 in a row, but yes, a great win!

8-2 in the last 10.

 

Pen is amazing

 

Floyd coming around

 

Thome is hot

 

Sox Win

 

3 straight last inning wins!!!!!!

gotta love that bullpen

 

Thome just keeps producing, i feel silly i thought he was done a couple years ago. glad hes not

 

 

3 solid starts in a row from Gavin.

 

and for humors sake

 

Matt Thornton's 8th inning was just awesome.

 

they showed those ladies multiple times on the big screen at the game.

 

anyways, great game to be at, the rain held off, big 3 run homer by thome, solid pitching all around. cant ask for much more.

What's with Linebrink in the 9th inning? I know we had a 4 run lead, but Jenks didn't even get up after Thome's homer. Are we showcasing Linebrink in some save situations (or close to it) as trade bait for teams looking for a closer?

 

Or are we possibly thinking about trading Jenks?

 

I'm probably looking to much into this, but whatever.

 

Nice win tonight! Gotta love late inning wins.

all without CQ also.

probably?

Gavin has really gotten his s*** together. I'm really proud of him.

Jenks had been warming along with Liney in the 8th and they had him sit down after we got up 4.

no reason to use him in a non save situation.

I can't help but think of that recent post.

He's been suffering from the flu and Ozzie probably wanted to give him more rest, dont look that much into it.

That, and Jenks was warming up the entire bottom of the 8th inning until the 4th run scored, and only then did he sit down

It was a 4 run lead. Why would you run your closer out there if you don't need to?

I loved Jenks' reaction when they scored the 6th run making it a non save situation.

 

Also, the Cabrera strikeout with the bases loaded in the 8th was poetic.

I was at the game. Jenks was getting warm for most of the bottom of the 8th, and only sat down after the lead got to 4 and it thus wasn't a save situation. You could even see him (jokingly) making angry gestures towards the field after the walk brought in the 6th run. It was nothing more than that in my opinion.

 

As for the game, it was a good one to be at and a nice win. I about froze my rear end off since the temperature dropped 25 degrees during my drive to the stadium, but at least the rain held off.

Bobby's no dummy. He knows that a three run lead against a no-hit bunch like the A's is as easy as a save gets. He also knows that another 40 save season guarantees more $ in next year's arbitration. He has to get to 13-14 saves at the 54 game mark to stay on target, so he's obviously very close.
