    tough loss but a great game overall, very exciting for most part.

    Beckett doesn't look like the postseason pitcher we're used to see. :(

    I don't get why Tito went with Timlin there but you can't put it on Mike completely. The ump squeezed him twice there which handicapped him terribly. We got Lester going on Monday so a split on the road is far from the end of the world.

    I was surprised by that too, but I didn't follow the game that closely. Who else was in the pen? Tonight reminded me of the 2003 WS, when Torre brought Jeff Weaver in in extra innings, and everyone knew the game was over

    Well the choices were Timlin or Byrd.

    The thing is Byrd is a starter so it probably takes him awhile to loosen up so the only choice really was Timlin.

    what the fuck was tito thinking? Timlin?! come on! Leaving Beckett in for the 5th (let alone to face longoria!)!!?? come on!

    The sox definitely should have won that game. Byrd should have come in to start the 5th. What a shame. Oh well, I'm feeling good playing 3 at Fenway now.
    Whats got the whole world faking?

    There are others who had more of an impact on that game than Tito. Francona played the bullpen perfectly until Timlin and if the Sox could have scratched out a run in the many opportunities that they had it would be a non issue. Look at Ellsbury and Ortiz's ineffectivness as a key reason why they lost. Ellsbury just should have stayed in Boston with the way he's played so far.

    I think Timlin sucks but when the Sox leave 22 runners on base that's not really Tito's fault.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    man, from all these games that are on until 1 AM to gmaes that start at 4:30 pm on the east coast ... people can't catch a break on these start times.

    How many are leaving work early to catch the game?

    i am definately bouncing early. 4:30 is such an odd time. it should start at 5:30 at the earliest. give everyone a chance to get home.

    MLB probably doesnt want to compete with Monday Night Football type of thing.

    and he still hasnt gotten a hit.

    a sac fly is ok, but i am sick of seeing elsbury hit the ball in the air.

    he reminds me of Willie Mays Hays from Major League.
