Yay for the Red Sox!

I just got home to watch in the 9th. Did Joe Buck say the BoSox had 7 unearned runs!?!

If he did, he was wrong. Pretty sure all earned.

 

correction: last run unearned. Longoria error.

Pretty sure that run should still be earned. The official call on Youk getting on base was a single where he advanced to second on the error. Since he didn't get on base or score on the error (just advanced a base) I think that should still be considered an earned run.

I hope the Mets are watching this, closely.

I'm sure this is a hard loss for the Rays, but I think the TBS guys are overstating it a bit. The way they're talking, it's as if everyone will be surprised if the Rays even show up for the next game because they're so heartbroken. I don't know if they'll win the next game, but if they don't, it will probably be because the Red Sox are a really good team and it's easy to lose 2 in a row to them, not necessarily because they're still feeling dejected from this one.

 

Also, I LOL'd at Craig Sager asking Dan Wheeler about the Ortiz homerun, apparently not realizing that it was Grant Balfour gave that up until Wheeler told him that he was warming up at the time.

I believe in shift in momentum. Tonight as a case in point. I disagree that the Rays won't "show up" but there's something to be said to taking a hit like they did tonight. Had BOS not made that come back tonight, people would be talking about how badly the Rays beat up on them and how poor the Sox played. Which they did. Save for three innings tonight. It's a fickle game, which is why I don't discount shit like momentum, chemistry, etc. I know plenty of folks do.

 

BOS may very well get stomped Saturday, but the life they showed tonight when it had to be shown is promising.

 

This is why we watch sports. Just an amazing comeback by the Sox.

 

Rays still win game six by a lot.

Beckett is due for a stellar performance. But...who knows. It is why we watch.

I told you TBS sucked, and it wasn't just sour red sox grapes talking. They Just Suck. That said, there was a consensus to just ignore the voodoo doll and clearly that hurt more than anything I could have done to it. In the meantime, i fell asleep (been sick all week) and missed the rally. So that is probably what I get for releasing on baseball a leeeeetle too early.

what a great trip!

 

now, is it true that fans booed papi mid-game last night? (before the homer, of course). the nytimes says that this morning, and so did the tbs guys last night. i didn't hear it and hope it isn't true.

He probably heard some boo-birds, yeah. I don't really have a problem with players being booed by their fans when they don't deliver, no matter their past.

Agreed. Maybe the boos gave him a nudge, too.

They haven't helped Varitek.

 

A friend of mine's band was playing last night at a bar in Cambridge. It was 5-0 Rays when they started playing. As they finished their first set someone came in and said that Coco had just tied it up. And that sentence was so hard to comprehend. We all (including the band) went upstairs where there were TVs and watched the 9th. Then we all went back downstairs and they played another set, starting with Dirty Water. It was pretty flippin' sweet.
