Let's get out with an easy win to secure the sweep tonight. Blow 'em out so we don't use Foulke and the whole bullpen is rested for the Yankees. The Sox had some trouble with Batista last time but I wouldn't count on any trouble this time. I'm kinda happy this series is ending because this Toronto crowd is putting me to sleep. Even Remy and Orsillo/McDonough seem alseep.

I haven't seen a sox game in a while. I'm looking forward to seeing this one. :D

Yeah, but it's good to know these sox can take care of business even when the energy level is down. WAY down, really, after last weekend. Last year's Sox had trouble in series like this one.

But I agree on the crowd. I stay awake by staring at the hottie behind the plate. She (or someone like her) is there every year. :wub:

Anyone see the new NESN ad? The one about A-Rod and "Round 2" this weekend?

That's probably the best NESN ad I've seen. It ROCKS!!!!!!

Ortiz hits a JACK. Manny and Tek are remaining hot.

Chris Gomez? I think Tito left Schilling in a little long. :angry:

Yes. You are right. But as far as managing, I don't mind this.


First, Schilling was rested enough. He was yanked too early last start and had 8 innings in him. His job tonight was to save the bullpen. He did it.

Second, it saves the pen for the Yanks this weekend *this is big*- with Lowe, Arroyo and Pedro going.

It gives a home win to Theo's good friend JP finally... (politics in baseball are highly ignored)

It - to me - brings everybody back to earth. They will be out to win tomorrow night.

Schilling pitched well, but the offense was bad. What the hell's up with Bellhorn? Is he TRYING to walk every at bat??? Between Pokey and Bellhorn, you have 75% of one good player...

But in the end, the Sox head to NY hungry for a win, with a fresh pen. Bring on Friday night. Tonight was a healthy loss.

Doh! I hope that this negative momentum (losing like that late in the game in front of an empty sky dome is never good for morale) won't carry over to the yankee series.

But as RSR just mentioned, it does save the bullpen for the yankees, giving us an advantage in my mind. Hopefully A-Rod doesnt pick now as the time to break out of his slump.

whoa, I just remembered; that was the first Blue Jay's victory at home. Its embarrasing that it had to come against the sox and schilling.
