Sox double up the D-Backs at Fenway by a 6-3 score. :victory: Not a strong start by Bucholz who still got the win though, Papi continues his surge with another HR. :applaud: And the Dodgers put one of their better pitchers Billingsley on the DL tonight.

Wow, Dodgers up 8-0 on the Reds in the 7th... I expected them to be reeling after that Angel sweep. :sweat:

Make it 9-0, Kuroda was rolling along but there was a 2 hour rain delay, Padres at home will finish before that came does. :bleh: Dodgers will be back to interleague play this weekend as they play...the Sox. :hehe:

Hadn't thought of that, one of them the sox will be out for revenge, hopefully they're getting all the runs out of their system tonight. :mrgreen:

Do you mean the Dodgers?

They're up 12-0 now... Probably will get shut out tomorrow. :sweat:

Yup, but they only scored half that amount tonight. :naughty: Another inter league win for the Sox tonight as the beat the D-Backs 6-2, another good outing for Lester as he picks up his 8th victory. :victory:

Dodgers win again, 6-2, over the Reds... And with the Padres losing, the Dodgers are back in first place. :victory: :applaud:

Dodger starting pitcher John Ely falters and they lose to the Reds, 7-1. :sweat:

Sox make it a sweep against the D-Backs by winning 8-5, another so-so outing for Lackey but when he pitches they score for him. :grumble: Only 2 games out of first now, how strong is the AL east...top 3 teams have the best 3 records in MLB. :applaud:

Yup, Dodgers have a worse record than the Sox but are tied for 1st in the NL West. Wonder what the reaction will be to Manny tonite?

I think he'll get booed, considering the manner in which he left.

Hmm, they're only televising Saturday's Dodger-BoSox game. :(

Booed quite heavily I'll bet, wanted out because they wouldn't give him more $$$, :usuck: wonder if the Dodgers are wondering if they made the right decision, his power seems to have evaporated. :bleh:

He won't be back with the Dodgers next year, I'm pretty sure...

Or going back to the Sox we're fairly sure of. :shakehead: Someone will sign him, probably an AL team where he can DH, his fielding skills are... :rofl:

He did throw out someone at the plate a couple of games ago. :P

But who's gonna pay him big bucks to be a DL? :sweat:

P.T. Barnum had a nice line about that. :hehe: Was hoping Wakefield was going to pitch tonight, would have liked to seen him throw a high and tight knuckler to him. :rofl:

Back to interleague play and the Dodgers lose again, 10-6, to the BoSox. :shakehead:

And fittingly, we know who made the last out. :victory: :rofl:
