I am in Yankee land, no game for me in CT but I sit at the residence inn slow cooking ribs for the kids when the get back from 6 flags... Yup I am a sucker for those kids and thanks to a friends wife for taking them so I can relax

[sprocketboy]

So far, so good for Tommy Hottovy.

Helped by a web gem double play, but what the hell.

[Mikiemo83]

Yahoogame is my saviour

I can't see the pitches so I don't know how much Papelbon got squeezed.

It's not as if Varitek or Papelbon are particularly known for barking at umpires, though.

It must have been pretty bad.:WTF:

[sprocketboy]

However this game ends, Beckett gets screwed yet again in the W-L column.

[sprocketboy]

Clutch hits by Saltalamacchia and Ellsbury. Of course they weren't going to pitch to Pedroia, especially after Pedey's error in the ninth.

Strategy works. At least it's still tied. Come on, Aceves, 1-2-3 so Youk can end this thing with a Monster Seat shot.

They will still be playing this game when they drop the puck. :th_coffee:

[The Phantom]

The good news for NESN is at least they don't have to find something to squeeze in between the Sox post game and their Bruins pregame coverage.

The other good news, how much can Ellsbury's average go up in one game.

[sprocketboy]

Apart from his first inning, yeoman work by Aceves so far.

And even that first inning could have been worse.

Can the Red Sox please win this damn thing now?

It's sheer torture.

Okay, JD. Earn your $! Now!

Edit: is it possible to say you had a good day at the plate when you 'earned' a Golden Sombrero?

[The Phantom]

The game that had it all.
Ejections- check
Bad Umpire calls- check
Blown saves- check
Great defensive plays- check
Good deal of offense- check
Blowing games for your starter- check
Extra Innings- check
Bench players no one thought would be playing- check
Poor attempt at a sac. bunt- check -I’m looking at you Cameron
Unwise substitutions that Tito would like to have back- check
Bloody uniforms- check
Player least likely to get the game winning hit- check
Most importantly, being able to send the fans home just in time to watch the puck drop- check

If they stopped beer sales after the seventh, those fans are sober again, just in time to watch the puck drop.

I think we all know the reason for the win. Thanks, Mikie. :)

If Mikie wants me to, I can do the 'Designated Lackey' thing and start tomorrow's game thread.

Win or lose, I'll yield back the Honor after Lackey's start.

I leave it to the House to decide whether this is proper Mojo Behavior.

The Sox won, so shouldn't Mikie start it?

Did I miss a :titus: ?

What's the "Designated Lackey" thing?

You pick, I am easy ask the women

[Mikiemo83]

Joolz good point

[sprocketboy]

Joolz good point

Okay. The original rules prevail. I'll only step in and start a Lackey thread if (a) the Red Sox lost the previous game, and (b) I didn't have the Honor for the previous loss.

So really, it's more like a 'Pinch Lackey' than a 'Designated Lackey.'

[sprocketboy]

By the way, Mikie, there's Good Mojo, there's Bad Mojo, there's Ugly Mojo ... then, there's Your Mojo.

[Mikiemo83]

Dude my mojo is unreal

[3 Point Stan]

I didn't tune into this game until the 9th inning (and it was on the radio on the car) after it had been tied. I can't even imagine how many people I'd have killed with my bare hands had I been in attendance of this game. Holy jeez.

[Mikiemo83]

I am ugly mojo guy but I get hot chicks
