so how do you slot the relievers now? alternate gagne & paps? rest them as they're both a touch injury prone? or do some crazy ### oki/paps/gagne 7-9 innings? allowing the starters the luxury of only going 6?

It's Official NO TEAM, will score against the RED SOX after the 6th inning, if none of these guys get hurt, write the SOX in for a trip to the 2008 WS![icon] said:SOX OFFICIALLY LAND GAGNE
Papelbon, Gagne, Okajima, Timlin, Delcarmen

No jest, I really do think Timlin is toast. He'll be on and off the DL for the rest of the year and be a non factor in the playoffs.Surely you jest.Nigel said:That guy is toast.[icon] said:SOX OFFICIALLY LAND GAGNE

Boys,.........they have to have the lead in the 7th, 8th and 9th to get Gagme, OkieDokieDr.Jones, and Papelblown in. Otherwise, it's kind of like having a sportscar with no gas.

Aww he's resorting to 3rd grade nicknames. He must really be coming to the realization that it's over. Sox are 8-2 in their last 10 outscoring their opponents 71-34 over that span. The only have 10 games remaining against teams with winning records. We'll have more than our fair share of leads heading into the 7th. Good luck with the wild card though.

Hold on Snoop. Fruitbat? Shemp? Slappy McBluelips? Don't these ring a bell?I got a stat....over the last 8 innings Boston players not named David Ortiz are batting .000. Do you have a pipe?7 back with 6 to play against the Sox( if Baltimore wins) and 2.5 back of the Indians. This might traditionally be the time you guys started looking at the Pats chances......but we still have meaningful baseball to play.Aww he's resorting to 3rd grade nicknames.

DC,Boston fans are supposed to remain classless. It's allowed when your team has 1 championship in 90 years.Hold on Snoop. Fruitbat? Shemp? Slappy McBluelips?

His nickname is the human rain-delay afterall.What is the rule for the amount of time a pitcher has between pitches to throw the next one? Whatever it is, Trachsel violates it every damn time. Painful to watch.

Exactly. Boston's offense is FINE... we have some bad timing but that all evens out. The myth that Boston's offense is weak is false. To think Bostons's offense isn't enough given their pitching prowess is comical.make that 20we've left 18 men on base...

I heard Francona explain it, but didn't really understand why...something about the upcoming scheduleGagne looking very good, Lowell blew the play (should have been an error) that would have given Gagne the 1-2-3Schilling bumped from Sun. to Monday, not sure why.nice win! now we head west for 6 tough games, bnut we're looking good & scilling's back on the mound this weekend.DA RAIDERS said:great late game win tonight! this would have been an awful game to lose momentum wise. win tomorrow & head west on an upswing for 6 tough games with seattle & the angels. i'll be at the game on tuesday

Save situation = (1) come into the game at the start of an inning ahead by 3 runs or less(2) come into the game with the tying run on deckGagne came in to start the inning with a 4 run lead = not a save situation.now is it a save situation?started out strong with 2 strikeouts, then gives up 2 hits & a run...

It doesnt have to be the start of an inning. You can come in with 2 outs in the 9th and a 3R lead and its a save situation.Also, if you come into the game with any lead and pitch 3 or more innings to end the game it is a save situation.Save situation = (1) come into the game at the start of an inning ahead by 3 runs or lessnow is it a save situation?started out strong with 2 strikeouts, then gives up 2 hits & a run...

At any rate, you cannot pitch your way into a save situation. Either it is when you come on or it is not.shadyridr said:It doesnt have to be the start of an inning.

Looks like for once the Sox will miss the opposing team's respective Aces...
In Seattle they'll miss Felix Hernandez.
(Lester vs Horacio Ramirez, Matsuzak vs. Washburn and Beckett vs. Batista)
In Anaheim they'll miss Escobar and Lackey!
(Schilling vs. Weaver, Wakefield vs. Saunders and Lester vs. Moseley)

I wouldn't be worried about the Mariners...their team is not built to make a run

Yeah Im generally not. But if I recall dont the Sox have a horrible record at Safeco Field?
