Game time: 7:10 pm

Scheduled starters: Justin Verlander (5-2, 2.15) v. Daniel Bard (4-5, 4.69)

The game will be on NESN, ESPN, and WEEI

Boston weather: 5 pm observation at KBOS: Wind out of the northeast at 10 mph, visibility 2 miles in fog and haze, few clouds at 400 feet, broken layer at 2,400 feet, overcast at 22,000 feet, temperature 64F, DP 60F

Forecast: Foggy, foggy night... It's going to be warm and muggy, with the wind blowing in.

There is a chance of thunderstorms and rain tonight, including the risk of severe storms. There is a line of thunderstorms in eastern NY, moving into Berkshire County. However, it is 10 degrees cooler in Boston than it is just west of Route 95/128. The cooler air is going to have a modifying effect on the storms as they move east and they will lose a lot of their energy by the time they get to the coast.

There is still a chance of rain, but they should be able to play tonight's game.

They got Bard a run. Let's see if it holds up.

[BigSlick]

I f'ing hate Nick Punto.

edit: <sigh> The reverse mojo didn't work. At least it wasn't a double play.

F*CK YEAH!!!! Nava with the 3 run double.

4-0 Sox.

Punto's getting nut punched. Nava will not.

[BigSlick]

Bard needs to get out of this with the 3 run lead in tact.

Edit: That'll work

I love David Ortiz and want to have 10,000 of his babies.

I don't want to have any of his babies, but I'd be delighted to have some rice and beans with David Ortiz.

It's actually a reference to something that happened on the board a few years ago.

Now that we're in a rain delay I can explain if you want... Or you can go look at PSF's signature.

We've been down this road before... I just did a search and found this from last year.

Hopefully God's will will make you want to have 10,000 of Gonzales' babies again.

Apparently God's will is to make us wait as long as possible to have a winning record.

Dear God,

Please get this team above .500.

Thank you,
FishCake (I live across the street from a church so that should count for something.)

[FishCake]

Verlander/Bard match-up, rain delay...and the Sox get over .500.

Edit: Thank you God.

Yay.

I'm starting to like this team.

Even though they will still finish behind the Blue Jays

John Henry appreciates your loyalty. He will now proceed to change nothing since this seems to be working just fine.
