DAD

I know what Manny did was great but without that great performance by Tavarez he might not have tthat chance. Coming in and strikng out two batters with the bases loaded and a couple of more good innings was just great.

I agree 100% there Dad, Julian been a gamer for the Sox the past couple years and consistently accepts whatever role it is he's given. Be it starter, long reliever, set-up man, or interpretor of Manny :-)

Great game last night, and great work by Julian.

PS - Go Bruins!

Manny has always been my favorite Red Sox, since the day he arrived here. I've held a lot of love for other players over the years, but Manny's always been my man. Plus, we're both from the same city in the DR. I know a lot of folks have doubted my man over the years, especially in this sports-crazy city, but I personally think he has one of the best attitudes in this or any other game.

And I have to second DAD's props for Julian. Tavarez may be up and down, and he may suddenly turn into a bowling pro when the ball drives back to the mound, but damn if he doesn't always give everything he has, no matter when he's asked to perform and no matter what he's asked to do. Last night was a beaut.

A friend asked me the other day which Red Sox I'd most like to have a beer with. While my first response would be to chill with Manny or Mike Lowell, I had to think long and hard, cause you know having a beer with Tavarez would just turn into an insane adventure.

God I love my Red Sox.

First off, great site Cecilio, lovin' it.

And Dog I love the idea of which Red Sox would you most want to have a beer with so much I think I'm going to make that the new poll. I did it a few years ago and it was a shoot out between Millar and Damon. This year I think I'd have to go with either Paps, Julian, or Youk. We'll see what the people have to say.

Classic baseball game last night. The Red Sox demonstrated that they don't win simply because they are loaded with talent, they win because they know how to play the game. All 9 innnings. I couldn't agree more with Dad. Middle relief, especially Tavarez did a phemoninal job keeping us in the game. Youk did his thing in the eigth to trim the lead to just one run. The 9th inning was classic baseball, start to finish. Lugo set the tone with a great at bat and huge double to get into scoring position. Who executes a bunt better than Coco? No one. Not only did he move Lugo to third, but he just about beat out the throw. Pedroia, knowing the situation and the role he needed to execute hit the ball deep enough to score Lugo. Papi rips (okay bloops, but we'll take it) a single to left and Manny being Manny again destroys his former club by blasting another home run to take a 6 to 4 lead. You couldn't have scripted a better 9th inning and the Red Sox are proving they know how to play and win as a team. It's right out of the Bellicheck book - know you role and execute - that's all you have to do to win and play like a champion.

Special shout out to MLB TV - watching every freaking Sox game from Chicago, Illinois is unbelieveble. My one and only suggestion to improve this awesome online tool - please let us listen to the home town broadcasters for away games. Listening to the idiots on Cleveland TV is excruciating. Give me the Rem Dog for all 162 games!

Go Sawx!!!

Derek Hixon

We'll be watching a game live together in just a few days, can't wait!!!

2004 World Series: Game One

  • Mounted Police
    My brother Chris flew into Boston from Chicago to help me root on and pull for the Sox in the Series. We went right from Logan Airport to the Park and ended up watching the game across the street from Fenway at Bills Bar on Landsdown Street. We looked into scalping tickets but standing room only were going for $1,200 and up!This was a great and memorable day to be able to be with my brother in Boston to see the Red Sox in the World Series. This is a snap shot of two weeks of my life that provided a lot of sorrow, joy, sleep deprivation, and hangovers. Two of the best weeks of my life...
