My thoughts exactly. Honestly, I don't know where I'd hit Coco if Youk stayed in that spot, but I couldn't move Youk at the moment if our CFer was back from injury.

...sidenote - someone tell those guys that "Josh Bard" is enscribed on the bat, that should end the fight.

Where is everyone tonight? Usually we have an active thread during games but not tonight I guess.

2-1 Tampa in the bottom of the 6th

Kazmir just came out of the game with some sort of injury. Looked like he wanted to stay in but the D-Rays manager didn't want to risk him I guess

Rays broadcast said Maddon is taking him out as a precaution to prevent further injury. This would have been avoided if the 1st base umpire wasn't blind and missed the 3rd strike call on Manny, who clearly did not check his swing.

I didn't see Wily's at bats tonight, but he hasn't been swinging at everything lately and has actually shone very good plate discipline. He can't be on every night and in his defense he was facing a tough lefty tonight who he likely had never faced (or had only a few at-bats against).

5-1 Tampa Bottom of the 9th bases loaded 1 out for Sox!! A comeback win from this far behind would be awesome!

He threw 102 pitches tonight and is only 22. Either way, he should be pulled.

Bases loaded for Nixon in the ninth. It sure would have been nice if Tavarez could have done well in the 9th.

Horrible AB for Nixon right there.

Varitek pops-up to end the game.
