After the tough weekend vs Minnesota, the Sox are 9.5 games back of the Yankees and out of that race.

That being said, I still think we match up favorably with any other MLB team.

At this point, it's a question of execution.

I don't blame them for a shitty weekend, the clubhouse got rocked by the Nomar trade, and the new players, etc.

1 game back of Texas in the WC. Anaheim, Chicago are the other contending clubs. It's gunna be one heck of a race...

One game at a time. Wake...we need a good game from you.

I think Texas will fall out of it, we need to worry about Anaheim.

We got the Devil Rays 9 more times thank god. If we go 7-2 against them we will be fine. BLAME KERRY FOR THIS ROAD SKID, GET THE FUCK OUT OF BOSTON!

I can not believe that McCarty is in the lineup over MKZ again.

:angry:

woohoo redsox win

Caberra wowed me with some of those plays he made. Wait till he gets to Fenway then he'll hit a lot better.

I actually got to see this game through the miracle of modern television -- probably only about the 4th Sox game I've seen all year, and the only one we've actually won. Excellent. Sweet defense in this game, except for the McCarty Show on a late (and mercifully meaningless) pop-up. I'm starting to like the idea of having some D in the infield. And if Millar stays hot, this lineup will have no problem racking up the runs once Ortiz gets out on parole.

And you really do have to love winning a game on the offensive contributions of McCarty and Youk. Good gravy, what a laser beam homer that was from Dave.

And some fine pitching from all involved. Fine win and maybe we'll actually win a road series for the first since 1918... uh, or something like that.

I also haven't seen many games either since i live in Seattle, but i will win the Red Sox come here.

I have to listen on the radio, but it sounded like Orlando made some pretty impressive plays! I was able to see him in person in Montreal (I live in VT so Montreal's closer) and I was impressed (as I stated in a different post).

McCarty can't be blamed for his error. He lost it in the dome.

Overall, a good win. McCarty and Youk came through when we needed them.

It sucks Bellhorn will be out at least 2 weeks?!? But I'm excited Youk will get more playing time...
