Holy ####, huge win! Gotta love the kid coming in and pitching 7 innings two hit ball, then Lowell coming up huge. Gagne looked very good tonight.

against Kazmir, in light of the recent surge by the New Yorkers?Absolutely...The comeback win against NY earlier this year might be better now that I think about it, but right now I am gonna stick with my gunz

I think the sentiment is that anytime your starters pitch 21+ innings in 3 games and give up a total of 3 runs, you should win at least 2/3. Why is that so hard to figure out?This is what DC Thunder was pointing out originally. The Sox shouldn't have swept, and they didn't deserve 2/3. Where is this entitlement coming from besides the payroll?wow, lot of misinformation in here...where should I startWily Mo got jobbed on a check swing that was called a strike even though it wasn't close...the knee-high fastball 'ball' call was a makeup for that. So the karma was already evened out thereHey Saux fans, all this stuff about how you should have swept the O's is sort of absurd. Bedard gets out of the jam in the 8th on Friday if the umpire calls either the check swing or the pitch on the corner to Wily Mo properly. Pena struck out TWICE in the same at bat before he gets that soft single that starts the big rally. So it's only baseball karma evening up that the O's come back to win on Markakis' SF. (Don't forget that rally from 5 down in the 9th back in Boston on Mothers Day. Lots of karma coming home to roost in this series)
Saturday game I'll give you. Beckett is awesome.
Sunday, you only got 3 runs off of Traschel. With that line-up you should be ashamed. And again, Gag-me does throw 9 straight fastballs to Miggy, and anybody can hit an HR if they know a mid 80s fastball is coming.
So I'd say that getting 1 out of 3 is about what the Saux should have expected. Your problem is the Yankees are playing so hot right now that this isn't good enough.
And Gagne was hitting 96 on the gun with his fastball, not 80s...
Other then that, looked pretty good. Sox deserved 2/3, but #### happens

I love it..... some Sox fans must really be concerned if a game against the D-Rays is a "game of the year".

They have only had two come from behind wins in the 9th this year...to do at it home when your farm kid, who just finished battling and defeating cancer, makes his first start at home...

They were down 1-0 in the 9th. Game of the year, seriously? The comeback vs the Yanks wasnt better? The rally in the 9th vs Baltimore wasnt better?

At this stage of the season, with momentum shifting as it has recently, I would say this was as big/important a win as any.

Kazmir has a 1.1 ERA for the 2nd half of the season. He is a very good pitcher, in case you haven't been paying attention. Not sure why people are struggling with this...Is this an example of the Rays pushing a team around, or an example of an Ace beating a good team?

All I know is that when the Yanks were beating the Rays, the ###-clown Yankees haters on this thread were tripping over each other to say that beating the Rays is no big deal and that a playoff caliber team should have no trouble beating the Rays. That should go for the Sox too..... unless they aren't a playoff caliber team.

The Red Sox should win every series with the Rays, no exception. I do not expect them to win every single game against the Rays though. In fact, I would expect to lose if Kazmir starts against their #5 starter

Great game for the sox. Fantastic seeing lester dominant in his homecoming. Always nice to beat Kazmir... on of the best young arms in the game.... extra sweet when that win picks up a game in the standings.
A yankee fan buddy of mine called me to taunt me before the game yesterday.. she went to the game. I told her that I guaranteed the yankees were going to lose 2 of the next three and one was definitely going to be last night. She scoffed at the notion. I've not heard from her yet today but I imagine she didn't have a very good time at the stadium last night

Come on man.... you're either being stupid or a jackass... neither of which are your usual MO. Game of the year might be a stretch but not by much... cancer kid's dominant homecoming resulting in a walk-off win against one of the best young arms in the game? Admit it... as a baseball fan you wish you would have been there.

Absolutely...if the Red Sox can build on that today (great matchup...books have the Sox as the heaviest favorite of the day) it will be an awesome way to head into the day and a half breakGreat game for the sox.

You mean the same team that put a serious hurting on the most phantabulous, greatest, most spectacular, if you're losing against them after the 6th you might as well give up and go home bullpen of all time....not once.....but twice? Just checking..... For the record...I thought everyone made it abundantly clear when the Yankees were doing it that beating the D-Rays was no big feat?DA RAIDERS said:sort of like the yankee's shouldn't let a #### ### team like balt. ### rape them at home, 12-0? just checking.:everyfanotherthanayankeefanacoupleofweeksagowhentheyankswerebeatingthed-raysandroyals:But you should beat the D-Rays.

I disagree with this. The award is named after Jackie Robinson and he was a player who played in a professional league before coming to the majors and winning the ROY award.

Every domino is set now except the first one. Now confirmed:
1. Sox either send someone down, DFA someone, or DL someone. Wily Mo is the likely guy
2. Buchholz called up to start the early game
3. Following the early game, Buch going back, Ellsbury called up
4. Following the late game, Ellsbury down, Kielty being called up
