Good game from CC, didn't have his best stuff but he kept the Sox in check. Left him in one batter too long, but hey sometimes you gotta give your ace that one last guy when he says he wants it.

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:26 PM

CC was great tonight, but after he couldn't get out Pedroia that should've been all for him. He basically used an innings worth of pitches there

huge spot for aceves here...

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:28 PM

Where the F was that pitch?!?!

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:30 PM

Melky holds him at third, but can we keep him there?

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:30 PM

There goes the lead

nyk4ever @ 6/11/2009 10:31 PM

Sigh......

nyk4ever @ 6/11/2009 10:32 PM

Theres that bullpen again.

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:34 PM

This was a bit of a man made jam, but we basically lost it on Pedroia's at bat. I hate that little fucker, but he really grinds it out at the plate

Pedroia is the new Jeter...

this comes down to 1 thing - the red sox completely own the mental advantage on us. that's ok. we were 7-0 vs. detroit in 2005.

How often are relievers expected to come in for "easy" spots. You gotta get outs.

You know what, that's what makes the save such a ridiculous stat and the closers role so overrated- was that not the biggest spot in the game where a shutdown reliever was needed? Much bigger spot for Mo to come in there and get 3 outs than to start the 9th with bases empty to get 3. Now he may not even get a chance to enter the game.

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:42 PM

Phil Coke with 2 huge outs keeps the game within reach

Yup, very true Des.

Coke did his job.

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:45 PM

Luckily our best hitters are up to start the inning. I love our top 4.

VDesai @ 6/11/2009 10:46 PM

WTF? Why is Nick Green so good now

nyk4ever @ 6/11/2009 10:47 PM

ugh, Nick Green making big plays. it ain't meant to be.

nyk4ever @ 6/11/2009 10:47 PM

Got a feeling Johnny comes through here...
