Don't jinx it yet. Papsmear has been known to blow saves, albeit he's a great closer.

Papsmear! wow, show a little respect, he's on of the best in the business! Never seen him blow a save in the PS.. Anyway, advantage Sox at this point Got their best on the bump tomorrow for all the marbles. Maddon can talk all he want's but the memory will still remain in his players heads, "this should have been over in game 5, we had 'em dead to rights and let 'em off the hook".

Paps also has the longest pitching streak without giving up a run in playoff history. I believe it's 20+ innings and growing.

Did you noticed how gassed he was last night?, awesome how he still got it done though. It would be cool if MLB shortened the season a bit, it starts to become more a battle of attrition rather than a test of athletic skills.

Well, he did pitch 2 innings (40 pitches) two nights ago. But I would have expected him to be fresher. He only threw 8 pitches last night and they'll need him tonight, especially with Okajima throwing 2 innings last night.

Can't wait for the game to start! Hopefully no Steve Harvey shenanigens tonight.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Pedroia HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Sox 1-0

 

[The Boston Dangler]

home run! here we go again!

 

[Baked]

Oh fuck, sox scored already. This is bad for rays, real bad.

 

[SoulAssassin]

So Phillies fans - who do you want to win. I'm having trouble deciding.

edit: I just decided I'm rooting for Boston because I find the whole cowbell thing really annoying. I've traveled a bit and been to football and baseball games all over the country and I've seen some places that had really annoying chants and traditions. This is one of them. Even if I was a Tampa fan I would find it annoying. It's not intimidating, it's just annoying.

 

[Baked]

YES, tie game!

 

[raystorm]

tie game!

I'm getting the feeling this will come down to the bullpens tonight, Garza and Lester are both throwing well..

 

[dbk]

Was there not enough time to throw it to 1st? Seemed pretty rountine there.

 

[dbk]

Rays! 2-1
Still no outs...get the bullpen ready

 

[Capt Caveman]

Don't understand why they gave him a pitch to hit when they had him 0-2.

I think he missed with that one, wanted it almost in the dirt but left it up a little. Our big bats are coming up, now they need to make a little noise..

 

[dbk]

Nice!!!

 

[Baked]

DP! Strike out and thrown out @ 2nd FTW!

 

[BUTCH1]

Sox need to get Garza out of this game and get to the BP to have a chance, at least they have gotten his pitch count up there..Bring in Balfour, STAT!! we need him!.

 

[Reckoner]

That was a costly play. Ortiz should've taken that one, especially when the pitch is at face level.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Damn, Varitek is up.

And nice job at swinging at shit.
