2-out-hits just rule.
And apparently, I'm the only one with no life. Dead game thread.

Man, Pedroia is hotter than the center of the Sun.
A-ard was a nice pick for the Sox. I think right now he is more reliable than Oki, but what do I know?
SG, I see you have quite a dialog going on here 
EDIT: It's getting kinda hairy right now .

Well, I had hopes someone would read it sometime.This game is wild. But if we maintain this lead to the 9th it's a lock with Paps.Yes! And into the 8th...
This is bullcrapMike Lowell is the man.
If only Delcarmen could've thrown a ****ing strike tonight.

Amazing how the pitching could ruin a perfect day for our offense.
Looks like Valverde is the new K-Rod with his ridiculous monkey dance after every out recorded...he ****ing ran halfway to the dugout doing a fistpump after striking out Youkilis...with one out left in the ballgame!
Ugh, this one sucks.. NESN was talking about how well sox BP has been for last 10 games last nite, NESN should have not brought it up!

Rays lost in the 13th inning, so we still hold the 1st place by 1/2.
