OoTS 8/28

[HahnSolo]

At the toilet, Lester goes 6 2/3, striking out 8, then gives way to Okajima, who promptly serves up a tying HR to Giambi.

Sox 2, MFYs 2, heading to the 8th. Kotsay in the lineup for Boston.

Obviously they took notice of Hank's ravings after last nights game.

ARod whiffs to end the 8th, then a Jeter error puts a man on in the 9th.

That's just about perfect.

Even if the MFYs pull it out, Mussina won't get the win, making 20 Ws an extra long shot. Some people seem to think 20 gives MM a more realistic shot at the HOF.

He won't make the MFY Hall though.

Looks like the Yanks have bases loaded with one out in the ninth, Giambi batting.

[Frayed Knot]

They load the bases and THEN the Sox bring in Papelbon

[Benjamin Grimm]

Giambi singles home the winning run.

He's the Roach Motel Player of the Game, I guess.

Oh well. Hopefully the Twins and Rays both win later today. (And the Cubs too, of course!)

Boo ya!

Grand slam by the Cubs and it's 6-4 Chicago in the 8th.

[soupcan]

Excellent! I just saw on the ESPN scroll that is was 4-1 Phillies in the 8th.

Fman puts me in a much better mood.

[Guest holychicken]

Cubs win 6-4. Idle Mets go a game up. Sweet.

[Frayed Knot]

6-4 is your final.
That's two bad nights in a row for the previously stingy Philly bullpen.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Instant replay not used.

Happy to help.

I was watching Obama's speech and caught the score update on MLB Gameday on my laptop.

These guys have Gay dame today -- Blanton v. Harden

[Guest AG/DC]

It's the battle of the guys who had Mets fans jumping off bridges over their non-acquisition --- Met fans who didn't live to see that the team had their eyes on the big prize all along.
