I was wondering where he was for the first 7 innings...its people like him why I want Boston to come back in the 9th (Sorry Mrs. R)

No more rides for you!!!!! (and you can't get in my car, either! )

I'm stretching my wings out and marching across the carpet

I wish there was another team that pissed Irish off that way I could cheer for them

Oh there's a few, but do you really think I'd tell ya

Well, you are so good at hiding your feelings, that I'd probably never find out

Nice one SC. We don't need to rehash this, my strong hatred for Curt Schilling is well documented on this board. So again, why are you surprised?

Because you seemed to have mellowed a bit this year and become a REAL baseball fan instead of a hater.

How so? I think fathersson will disagree with you since I gave Dice-K similar (not the same) but similar treatment. If honestly I made have raised a few bars in your book, and now have fallen even further, then I am sorry. I didn't realize you saw a change in me.

Oh, you're SO out.

POP UP! GAME OVER!! Only 4 1/2 out from Boston and 2 1/2 ahead of Detroit BIG win

It was a great game, and Boston really made us sweat there at the end. Great stuff!!

Just for you DJ

huge win. now they have to beat toronto and balti who has given the bombers trouble. it looks good right now, as long as the pitching is consistantly good down the stretch. oo and good to see an awesome start from roger.

Who are these two young men?? They look vaguely familiar.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but I'd say they are members of the Orioles...er... no no! They are members of the RED SOX! AM I RIGHT!?!? DID I WIN?!

Another big win tonight for the Yankees with Boston and Detroit losing

A lot of time and effort to recreate this

BL, You were soooooo close!!

Glad that the Yankees were able to keep ahead of the Tigers. I really think that the Wildcared is the only way for them to make the postseason. In spite of SC's dire predictions, I have my doubts about them catching Boston for the division.

I thought that way too but looking at the standings, they're only 3 1/2 games out. They are well within striking range for a team that was at one point 14 1/2 back

Nobody listens to me.

But someone told me yesterday that the Yankees would need to win 10 out of 13 to take the division. That seems pretty darned impossible. I'll be happy with the Wildcard. The postseason is the postseason.

Irish - I know you'll appreciate this. Apparently, some kid at Fenway was hawking for autographs, and got one - poignantly - from Shelley Duncan.

Shelley strikes again!

gotta love shelly duncan. i know sox fans cant find humor in that, thats just shelly being shelly.

What's going on with Moose? Getting hot at the right time! Look at last night's stats line:

7 innings, 3 hits, 0 runs, 1 BB, 6 SO, 10-10 with a 5.01 ERA.

I've heard Joe might finally have a 6-man rotation going into the postseason. I've told a friend of mine they should maybe take Hughes out of the rotation and put Moose in if he continues to pitch this well. As much as I like Hughes, he gives up too many runs. He's 4-3 with a 4.75 ERA. Again, I think in the future he'll be alright but if they want to win the World Series this season, they might have to entertain the idea. He hasn't been the same pitcher he was that night in Texas before he got hurt.

Hughes' problems come in the first inning, then he settles down... Maybe we need a reliever in there to start his games, and he comes in for the 2nd inning... lol
