lifelong Sox (Boston) fans wow ... a knunkle grinding game last night
playoff baseball baby ! Okijima comes in for 2 1/3 shutout innings as the gangway between Schilling & Papelbon - what an outstanding effort and just some awesome baseball - Oki was the story of the game no doubt, but that extra hustle from Mikey Lowell getting to third ... was the play of the game
Sox up 2-0
!!! GO SOX !!!
- the Patriots look, WOW, unbelievable
- Celtics have bigtime promise this year
- Bruins look they might actually compete this season too
Absolutely--Mr. Newyorker is a native Bostonian (spent his allowance as a kid on baseball tickets), I'm a native of Vermont--Sox games were always on the radio. Go Sox!!!!!!!!!
With his stolen base last night, Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury earned everyone in the country a free taco from Taco Bell on Tuesday, Oct. 30, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
(thanks to Taco Bell's "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion).
Ellsbury's taco jackpot (Thanks, Jacoby!) inspired Boston.com user Jeff Dockum to come up with this nickname for the young speedster and create this image for us.
My daughter, Beach Jacket, is a Sox fan after going to MIT and living in Cambridge/Boston. She hasn't been active on this message board -- I guess she feels weird about being on the same board as her Mom.
those spacious gaping greens out at Coors Field had us concerned
it wasn't the big bats & longballs, it was timely hitting, great base running and a little bit of luck
Matsuzaka pitched into the 6th + gets a 2 out/2 rbi knock -- Oki throws a cookie and gets humbled with the 3-run jack off of Hollidays bat to make it 6-5 ... then, unrattled, settles in to retire the side ... stunning !
rookies Pedroia & Ellsbury playing HUGE roles - Papelbon closing the door for the last four outs
what can you say except wow ... the future looks very very bright
