2nd Playoff game...

[Brahmsian]

...will be this afternoon at a listed 5:37 PM, though I doubt the game will actually get underway then.

Scheduled starter for the stRays will be 28 year old David price. Older posters may understand why
I'm tempted to call him "Vincent."

He racked up a very respectable WHIP of 1.098 this season, and is at 1.158 for his career.
Beating him will not be easy.

Starting for us will be John Lackey, coming in with a season WHIP of 1.157.
Let's hope he's not in "Lacking" mode this afternoon. We could afford it,
but it would not be fun to watch.

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

Longoria hitting into a DP?!?!

Lackey didn't look good that inning, but it's still early.

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

GREAT THROW (for an opposing player), MOLINA!

CASH IN, RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

2 run lead early?

This should happen more often!

 

[Brahmsian]

Never expect a shutout form Lackey!

It's still early, thank goodness.

 

[Brahmsian]

Which is more surprising:

Longoria hitting into a DP, or Lackey having a clean inning?

I'd say Longoria, but it's close.

 

[Brahmsian]

Has Victorino earned re-signing or hasn't he?

Emphatic YES from me.

 

[Brahmsian]

Why didn't they give Longoria the INTENTIONAL walk?

He's the last stRay I want to take any risks with.

 

[patsfan187]

lackey is going to give me a heart attack

 

[Brahmsian]

We got away with it, but if Lackey get's lifted now I won't complain at all.

 

[patsfan187]

need more runs

 

[Brahmsian]

lackey is going to give me a heart attack

I KNOW the feeling better than I wish I did!

 

[Brahmsian]

6-3 Red Sox after 5 innings.

GO BOSTON!

 

[Brahmsian]

We're pushing our luck leaving Lackey in the game.

 

[Brahmsian]

I hope somebody's warming up!

 

[Brahmsian]

Isn't it appropriate that Pedroia's initials are "DP.?"

When we need one he gets one!

WHEW, that was scary!

 

[Brahmsian]

ANOTHER big play from Pedroia!

And it's Uehara time now!

Odds are in our favor, aren't they?

 

[brandonk989]

Rays looking uninspired and disinterested. You guys jumped on Price and have been aggressive all game. We've been content to strand runners in scoring position all night and waste opportunity after opportunity. You guys look like a very dangerous team and have certainly outplayed us this far. Just hope we can avoid the sweep on Monday.

 

[Howie115]

Damn, that Uehara is FILTH-NASTY. 2 whiffs on 6 pitches.

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's just be glad we won today and not have any sweep talk!

Who else is switching over to the Bruins' game now?
