Any word on Manny Ramirez's status for today's game?
Winning yesterday would have been nice, but unfortunately NY always seems to get their must win games with Pettite on the mound. No excuses today. Our bullpen is fully rested and we can expect to be in theirs with no Chamberlain after the 6th with Clemens pitching. I don't want to go into tomorrow needing a win to avoid a sweep.
No Manny tonight. Is Keilty playing?
My Pops in ME is telling me that he is hearing Ellsbury up on the radio up there. Can anyone confirm?

That is not good. That sounds like someone is going to the DL. Let's hope it is Kielty and not Manny.

False alarm. Globe has Hinske in LF.

Saw that and I was goingt to post it. The lack of information (almost silence) on Manny's status raises an eyebrow for me.
P.S. Excuse me while I pull my head out of my ass on the post about someone going to the DL. I doubt they would send anyone to the DL because rosters will expand on Saturday. We really won't know how bad it is until Manny does not play for the next few days.
I have a great sense of calm about the game tonight. 
The silver lining about losing last night is watching all the a$$clown Yankee fans ordering the Division Champs flag. Watching them crawl back into the hole they came from will be fun.
Enough with the Chamberlain stuff, he has a microscopic sample size and despite how it turned out last night we got the bat on the ball and Papi was just under it right over the middle of the plate. He will get rocked and taken down a few notches…

Let's kick the snot out of these turds tonight and make tomorrows game relatively unimportant. I hope we hit for Beckett tonight.
I really want to see Clemens pulled before getting out of the 4th!
No prisioners tonight.....I want them crushed!
Manny out up to 10 days per pre-game report.

I want to win tonight, but if we don't it wont be the end of the year, but we need to take at least one game in this series
I'm whipping up some fried red snapper, sweet potato fries, and ice cold beer tonight for some Sox fans that attend the University of Alabama. I actually have several friends that share my love of the Sox here in Tuscaloosa. It's not called the Red Sox Nation for nothing.
Roll Tide and Go Sox!

You're so spoiled. ESPN isn't showing the game here in favor of the US Open of Tennis. Now I can't even watch the game.
Nice to see Clemens looking bloated as usual tonight.

Was Drew sleeping? He never looks into things.

He was, is, and shall ever be sleeping.
He might be the worst FA signing of the Theo era, and that's saying something.

Try one of the worst in the 30-year history of FA. It's very possible that given the dollars and years in the contract and the questions that existed about him that that contract will rank as one of the worst ever. Theo's a genius, though.
I'm pretty sure I heard Suzyn Waldman say on the radio pre-game show that Clemens has his socks pulled up tonight, so he really means business. I wonder if she actually gets paid to mouth that garbage on the air.

god damn can we seriously wait at least until year 2 before saying this crap? Beckett was probably the worst trade ever, whops.

At least the Open is an event that people actually care about
I'm stuck with f-ing junior hockey instead of this game
Suzyn Waldman - like rubbing shards of glass in your ears and asking for more
I think Drew is gonna be much better next year, therefore, leaving Matt Clement as the worst Theo FA signing.
Matt who?
Thanks for reminding me the game is on ESPN2. My night just got a little better.
I have to give it to the Yanks though---they look so confident and they're having better at bats than we are this series (I know ARod k'd, but that was because of Beckett's pure filth). If you were just checking in on this series from outer space, you'd think that the Yankees were the team with the 7 game lead. They look like it.

Who's actually older, Guidry or Clemens? I thought he might take the ball from him and show him how its done.

Geez, I dunno. I think someone from outer space who draws a conclusion about one team being significiantly better than another after watching 10 or 11 innings of baseball should go back to outer space. That's just not how baseball is.
Come on Joshua, no early runs tonight
Remember the time when the Red Sox beat up the Yankees early in the season?
Offense had better start hitting fatass because Beckett is going to be giving up at least 3 tonight

Well fine, but do you not take my point? Who has been the aggressor so far this series? Who has had the good at bats? Which team have run into outs and tapped out to the pitcher in a 3-0 count?
Simply put: which team looks like the best team in the majors? The Red Sox, or the Yankees?
I wish we had the trio of Pettitte, Clemens, and Wang.
Yeah, I get your drift, MFleTou. The fact is the RS haven't looked like (or been) the best team in the majors in a couple of months. It worries me going into October - assuming we get there. 
Damon is killing us.
We have to throw at his head next time up.

I can't watch another lackadasical effort tonight. Give me some prime time lineup suggestions.
Still a lot of ball to be played, let's not get too down early.
This is getting worse, what the ****
Damn, I'm getting in a real bad mood.
Wow we've looked really awsome when we've played the yankees. Really.
Ok guys, you don't have to keep proving me right.
We are PANICKING. (The team.) Why? That was a panic throw. Stupid. We are not playing like a confident team that has a big lead.

You have to admit- this series means quite a bit more to the Yankees than the Sox.
Anyone else find the sing-songy FIRST-NAME LAST-NAME chants at the Toilet completely inane?
All of this--ALL of it--set up by yet another 2-out walk.
I just want to win tonight, because I do not think we can win tomorrow.
Still early, but the Red Sox are just bothering me lately
