G153: Red Sox 6, Twins 0

And in the seventh, Ortiz (#52) and Lowell (#18) go back-to-back for a 6-0 lead. Beckett brings his too-seldom-seen A-game (8-6-0-0-5, 103) and the Red Sox keep elimination at bay for another day.

7:24 PM -- Bottom of the first, none on, 2 outs, first pitch, crushed to deep right-center:


***

Johan Santana (2.77) / Josh Beckett (5.02), 7 PM

If the Twins win tonight, Boston will be officially eliminated from the wild card race.

Dustin Pedroia has hit safely in his last five games (6-for-12).

Yankees are 11/10 to win the pennant and 3/2 to win the world series

Who the fuck cares. Can't you find some other place to post that?**

Feel free to go onto a yankees blog and write about the 2004 ALCS

Why on earth would I do that?

Honestly, I cannot imagine what kind of mindset goes into that, for anyone over the age of 12.

I enjoy my team. I don't need to put down other people's teams. Why would I?

Why do you?

Coming here and posting the odds on the Yankees is hostile and belligerent. As well you know.

You must love to hate me, don't you?

Nope. I don't hate you. I don't even know you, and I have no reason to hate you. In fact, when other Red Sox fans here have put you down, I've defended you. I guess you don't remember that.

I just don't understand why you waste your time here, and I wish you would go away. But it's not up to me.

The man is not human.

We were just saying that very same thing. Clearly an alien from a galaxy of superior beings.

How great that he was able to do this at home!! Yay.

Clearly an alien from a galaxy of superior beings.

From Area 51.

Or 52, apparently.

Don't look now, but Beckett has pitched well thte last 2 times. He even got the ERA below 5.

Thanks, Josh. Great timing.

I believe the actual spelling is:

"Y-A-H-N--K-E-E-Z, B-A-Y--B-E-E"

Seeing Josh do well makes this all the more frustrating. I was thinking, these last few weeks, if we could just somehow get a couple more wins here and there, and were in position to make a serious run, we'd still have this talent at our disposal, like Beckett for example, which could help us go far IF we could sneak intoo the playoffs. And look, he shows us what he CAN do, but it's too late. But without Manny and Papelbon, I guess we were kinda screwed anyway.

"P.S. I hate the Yankees more than the Mets."

When you said that, there was an uproarious cheer (in my head) much like the one by the Texans standing around Pee-Wee Herman when he said he remembered the Alamo.

Y ahora, es Cincuenta Y Dos:

Lately, I've been using Spanish to drive home the "Noticias" about Sr Ortiz;

I watched #52 on NESN, last night;

Fun!
