    8/5 vs Yankees

    RHP Masahiro Tanaka (9-2, 3.84) vs LHP David Price (11-6, 3.97)

    Let's finish the job. We've come too far and played too well not to get this sweep. Win. Dance. Repeat. x4.

    No complaining about ESPN in my gamethread. Thanks

    Put the hammer down on the skankees! Price has been putrid against the skanks.

    Would be most interesting how Price pitches against the MFY. He throws more middle in pitches to a RHH in an inning than the MFY does to Betts in 19 regular season matchup. Tanaka is a junk baller, who never goes after hitters. They have hit him well this year.

    Right now the SOX are playing THUNDERBALL.

    Heck, Eovavaldi made Porcello's outing look pedestrian. This Yank team is a mess.

    Come on Price.
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    Well, that eliminates me from participating in the game thread.

    C'mon, Dewey. I have one word that will make ESPN bearable; MUTE.

    I wish there were a way to coordinate Castiglione and Neverett with the video on ESPN on days like this. I've even been known to do that knowing what's going to happen on the tv before it happens. (I don't know if that sentence makes any sense,....but.. you know what I mean! LOL)

    In unrelated news, Clay Buchholz is now 5-1 with a 2.68 ERA for the Diamondbacks . It is not beyond a mathematical possibility of facing Clay B in a WS game. Not a high probability but but still floating out there.

    In related news, tonight's game is both a big deal, and then not so much.

    It's a big deal to see if David Price can get a good game in vs. NYY ; to see if the hitters can jump Tanaka and hit his slop ; to go up 9.5 games with less than 50 to go for the Sox (54 for NY); to shove pie in the face of all Yankee trolls; to sweep NY with a Red Sox DL list that looks like some team's dream roster .

    It's not so much of a critical game because of the 3 wins in the books already . Even if NY won all of the 4 game differential, they would still be well in the rear view mirror.

    Yup.

    The most interesting thing about this is seeing if Price has True Grit.

    I'd bet there are Yankees fans who are saying that after losing the first three and falling 8 1/2 back this is a must win ballgame for the Y's, if just to say that they can play with the Sox.
