Of all great football play today

[1Tripoda]

Kickers have menstration during the Packers vs Bengals to the Cardinals going 5-0 since before I was born. The best sporting game was the Red Sox vs the Rays. 13 innings long and a walk off HR. Crazy day

 

[1Tripoda]

One more win tomorrow in Boston and the Red Sox will eliminate the AL best team. Will play probably Houston Astros for chance to play in the World Series

 

[1Tripoda]

Too bad the New York Spankees could not awake themselves from their doldrums of wealth to participates in this race. No hope...

If the Sox can get by the Rays I'll be shocked. Rays won regular season series 11-8, but it seemed every time I looked the Rays were spanking them again. They may have the series lead, but the Sox can't afford any of their well-known slumps to creep into this series.

5-0 Sox bottom of the 4th. Sox coming up with Arroyo then Schwabber

 

[1Tripoda]

Top of the 6th, one Rays in 2nd base with 0 out. Red Sox going to the bullpen. Rays 2nd deep in the bullpen

 

[1Tripoda]

5-3 Red Sox but the Rays Wander Franco just hit a 2-run homer with one out. Lowe just strike out. 2 outs

 

[1Tripoda]

Sox coming to bat: JD Martinez, Renfro and Vasquez coming up...bottom of the 6th

 

[1Tripoda]

Going to the top of the 7th with Sox holding on to 5-3 lead

 

[1Tripoda]

Bottom of 7th, top of the order coming up for the Sox. Schwarber....

 

[1Tripoda]

I need a rare steak right about now. Sox still up 5-3 with Kike' Hernandez at 1st. Now Sox have them in the corners with 1 out. Rays are going to 7th pitcher. Shiiiet. I need a rare steak!

 

[1Tripoda]

Xander Boagart with 2 strikes and one out...two players in the corners

 

[1Tripoda]

5-3 double play. Sox out. Onto the top of the 8th!

 

[1Tripoda]

Rays 8-9-1 players coming coming up at bat.

 

[1Tripoda]

5-5

 

[1Tripoda]

F* Wander Franco coming up

 

[1Tripoda]

Red Sox won! Yeah!

 

[1Tripoda]

F* what a game!

 

[1Tripoda]

 

[1Tripoda]

 

[1Tripoda]

That was a helluva baseball game.

 

[rebneck]

Yes!

 

[1Tripoda]

I think this is going to be an easier series for the Red Sox than the series vs Tampa. What do you think?

That TB series was a shocker for me. Didn't think Boston would get by them. They had even less luck against the Astros during the season. The Sox will need to figure out Valdez while, at the same time, getting good outings from Sale. Both will likely get two starts this series. Houston has some dangerous hitters, also. Boston needs to be able to keep up or they can find themselves in deep holes early in games. Everybody hates the 'Stros because of the sign-stealing scandal a few years ago but, make no mistake, they're a very good team that loves the bright lights. If Boston is gonna win this series, Bogaerts will have to lead the way. Because I'm a lifelong fan, and because they showed they've got something cookin' in the TB series, I'm gonna say Sox in six.

Game 2 looks a little too easy. Game 3 is critical. It will break Houston for good if they don’t watch out

Losting McCullers for this series will hurt Astros. They really don't have an "Ace" starter, but McCullers had been playing like one reacently and against the White Sox.
Could be an interesting series, a lot of offensive potential. Red Sox are hot and Kike is just on another level right now. Tonight's game will be interesting. The Astros were the best road team in the AL, so don't think the evironment will shake them.

Bottom of the 2nd and the Red Sox is up by 6-0. This is getting ugly.

 

[rebneck]

12-3 final. That ain't ugy, brother, it's a thing of beauty!

I thought last night was quite attractive myself. 😎

A lot of talk that the Astros may have been tipping pitches. Apparently they spent a lot of time on self anaylsis to clean some tells up. Who knows.

But it is becoming a quite good series.

Quite, little surprise how subdued the Sox were. Evoldi didn’t help
