That was a sweaty top of 5th. I love Daisuke as much as the next guy, but I hope that's the last we see of him tonight. Okajeemer in the 6th, Beckett in the 7th and 8th, Papelbon in the 9th.
BTW this has to be getting up there as one of the longest comment threads the Murphy blog has ever seen. It's amazing how much we all invest ourselves in a silly baseball game right?
Ellsbury, by reputation, is a better fielder than Coco. He might need more time in Fenway to really show it, but he should have even better range, and a much stronger arm.
Okajima has been in this game for a while. He's making me nervous.
Are you guys all watching this on DVR or something? You're behind me by at least 3 or 4 minutes. Maybe it's the internet connection and your posts just take longer to get up there?
Nasty fastball from Papelbon.
The Indians have really blown this one on the basepaths.
Ideally, Coco will develop his hitting and after Manny leaves, we will have left-to-right Ellsbury, Crisp, and Drew. Could be one of the best defensive outfields in the history of the game.
Spongy sends his regrets for not being able to join in the fun, but house rules, internet was off. He did seem to know it was 11-2 and said he'll join the conversation in the WS.

Do you know where your 87 year old mother is watching the game???
Sure. At Spongy Penguin and Rob's house.
Do you know where Pat and Art watched the game last night?
McCarver: These two teams have played 243 games this year...blahblahblah.
Guess he wasn't a math major.
The sox are on fire
Ouch! Their toes must hurt!!
Drew is just trying to keep us interested.
Daniel Matzusaka is dialed in.
Why, oh why didn't they have ellsbury steal before Lugo swung the bat? I don't get it.
And Lugo still sucks.
YOUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One run an inning.
We score a run ih the third and it's popcorn time!!!
Now the keyboard is greasy.
Kenny Lofton is safe but he's out!!
Manny Rocks!
Eww dad.
Where are the other family members?
Well, we're getting our drama I guess.
I'm here. And Judi's around here someplace. Luke? Caleb?? Spongy???
Yeah, well, I'm starting to sweat. When there're so many squandered opportunities early, they sometimes don't come again.
Dice-K is spent. The Injuns are whittling away at our lead.
Dice-K begs to differ Dad.
Kenny Lofton was safe I think.
Phew! Halfway through. A one-run lead. Let's score some runs!!!
Fine with me, but he still gave up five hits in the last two innings.
That was a sweaty top of 5th. I love Daisuke as much as the next guy, but I hope that's the last we see of him tonight. Okajeemer in the 6th, Beckett in the 7th and 8th, Papelbon in the 9th.
K-Lo was totally safe. It should be a tie game right now, really.
Don't you think that Gagne should get a chance too???
Dice-K is done. he won't be back. Westbrook. OTOH is finding his rhythm.
Be afraid.
I guess it's possible the Injuns won't score another run, considering who they'll be facing.
That Roger Clemens AT&T commercial is a lot more fun now than it was before.
Pat and Art? At Mom's house. She was here. It's gonna be a late night.
LUGOOOOO!!! @!#$!!!!
DOUBLE PLAYYYYYYY!!!!
Lugo must die.
Lugo is the worst shortstop I've ever seen.
Everybody relax, this game is in the hands of Dustin Pedroia.
Ellsbury pales compared to Coco in CF but what a diff at the plate.
Waitin' for Pedroia.
Claire, I talked to Pat last night.
WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! Pedroia the midget smokes one!
And now it gets interesting....

oh boy...very nervous...
I hope they don't bother with Beckett now. Timlin in the eighth. Paps in the ninth.
Elsbury will certainly develop, but at this point he's nowhere hear Coco.

DVR. I'm about 3 minutes behind.
Papelbon didn't like that long fly ball.
I'm caught up now.
I"m with you, but my connection's been poor and i can't always post as things happen.
Paps in for the 6 out save. I like it.
I think the longest comment string ever was the song-lyrics thread. Can't remember how long that one was, but this one is getting right up there.
What was that song-lyrics thread again? A different song for each number post?
What do we think of those lunatics playing the rhythm band in the bullpen?
Yes, like "One is the Loneliest Number" and "Tea for Two" and "Three Coins in the Fountain" and like that. ("I am 16 Going on 17" could be a twofer!)
Good. The bad call at second and the baserunning blunder become less important at 6-2.
Mom, I think the Red Sox might have more fun than any other team in baseball.
I blame whatever grade I get on my midterm tomorrow ont he ALCS
HAhaha, I like watching the Indians play pinball in the outfield.
Heh! Ellsbury gets intentionally walked.
Luke, I think you might be right.
lugo is hapless
Caleb was right. tHe game is in the hands of Dustin Pedroia.
NOW maybe we can bring in Gagne....right????
Tiny tiny little hands
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Yoooooouuuuuukk!
Coooooookkkke!
Little midget hands.
YOUK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gagne with a spoon is a closer, right? Give him the ball.
Why is the Creeper Lugo playing with Manny's hair?
You couldn't pay me enough to touch manny's hair.
No, not Youk Kook. Youk COKE. Fer cryin' out loud.
Mom, I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
Mom's really tired.
Beautiful catch.
Nice catch, Jacoby.
I give up.
(That homer was off the Coke bottle.)
How's that champagne taste now, Garko?
Oh, I get it now Mom.
They are ruining my mood by showing that Indian who is crying.
Hey Paps, there is a microphone, you don't have to shout.
He is the best celebrator ever.
YEAHHHHHHH SOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thought of you guys the entire game.
Even during commercials?
why yes. yes i did.
should i call the murphy(ie)s? no... what if the old man is sleeping? he will surely find and kill me.
but seriously, yay red sox.
even more seriously, i will call.
The Red Sox are the best team to be a fan of anywhere. They are absolutely ridiculous.
Spongy sends his regrets for not being able to join in the fun, but house rules, internet was off. He did seem to know it was 11-2 and said he'll join the conversation in the WS.
*Dorm rules, in case anyone's confused.
