September 23 Game One Hundred and Fifty-Four - Tavarez Pitches Complete Game GemWow. What a difference as a starter. Given Clement's situation, Tavarez looks like he can be a solid 5th starter in the rotation or at least a floater between the bullpen and the starting rotation. He has only given up 1 home run as a starter. He also did in 99 pitches.
Bottom of the order hit well, with both Kapler and Gonzo going 2 for 4.
Final Score: Red Sox 7, Blue Jays 1
Current Record: 83 wins, 71 losses Game One Hundred and Fifty-Three - Papi Sets Home Run Record as Red Sox Thrash SantanaA win. A good win.
Papi hits two home runs. Beckett goes 8 innings and wins a pitching duel.

Current Record: 81 wins, 70 losses September 19 Game One Hundred and Fifty - Sox Sweep the Double-HeaderCrisp made another great play in center, robbing Posada of a home run. Trot Nixon hit a home run. Loretta sac flies the winning run in the top of the ninth. The Red Sox get the win. Oh to get a win against the Yankees in August instead of September.
Final Score: Red Sox 5, Yankees 4
Current Record: 81 wins, 69 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-Nine - Sox Win OpenerPapi hit his 49th homer and the bats came alive for 4 runs in the 7th to win this game. Too bad Snyder didn't get the win.
Final Score: Red Sox 6, Yankees 3
Current Record: 80 wins, 69 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-Eight - Sox Can't Sweep the Double-Header from the YanksTavarez pitched well enough to get the win, but the bullpen and Wily Mo struggled in the late innings which saw the Yankees reclaim the lead and the game.
Final Score: Red Sox 5, Yankees 7
Current Record: 79 wins, 69 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-Seven - Beckett Gets 15th WinAfter rain created the need for back to back double-headers, the Red Sox came out behind Beckett and got a win.
I watched the rather uneventful first inning where we saw Papi blast a double to quiet the boos and then saw that Wily Mo is not Manny as he struck out with men at second and third.
I missed Beckett giving up the home run, but hey he has been better about the long ball lately. He did give up 5 walks.
Good to get a win and Timlin saved it in the 9th. Woohoo. We beat the Yankees. Too bad it is a rather meaningless game in the grand scheme of things.
Final Score: Red Sox 5, Yankees 2
Current Record: 79 wins, 68 losses September 15 Game One Hundred and Forty-Six - Loretta Singles In the VictoryThe bullpen, much aligned by me of late, actually held it together for 5 innings of shutout baseball that coincided with a brief siting of the vaunted, but rarely seen this season Red Sox offense that plated 6 runs in total, including one in each of the final three innings. Papi got walked 4 times, but Varitek had an awesome game going 3 for 4. There were a lot of men left on base. Oh well, a win is a win. Good to get one even if just part of playing out the string of games.
Now time for Yankees-Red Sox fun and exciting. I just hope Beckett can walk a few less hitters this time.

Current Record: 77 wins, 68 losses September 13 Game One Hundred and Forty-Four - Timlin Almost Loses It in the 9thTimlin gave up 4 runs in the 9th to make things interesting. Sigh.
Final Score: Red Sox 6, Orioles 5
Current Record: 77 wins, 67 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-Three - Bats and Bullpen Make It a Win Over the RoyalsPapi hit a home run. Despite the big lead, I worried all the way through the end of the game that the bullpen would find a way to lose this one. The Red Sox left 12 men on base, so they should have scored more runs.
Final Score: Royals 3, Red Sox 9
Current Record: 76 wins, 67 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-Two - Bullpen Collapses in 12th InningHmmm, bullpen loses another one. Fortunately, it wasn't Timlin this time.
Final Score: Royals 10, Red Sox 4
Current Record: 75 wins, 67 losses Game One Hundred and Forty-One - Timlin Fails to Deliver AgainAfter a monster 8th inning where the Red Sox scored 6 runs and take the lead, the bullpen failed to close the door giving up 2 runs and losing the game. Timlin continues to look horrible at times, just failing to get outs or work out of jams. Good to see the bats come back, but I could have done without the shakey bullpen.
Final Score: Royals 10, Red Sox 9
Current Record: 75 wins, 66 losses Game One Hundred and Forty - White Sox Avoid SweepA loss.
Final Score: White Sox 8, Red Sox 1

Final Score: White Sox 0, Red Sox 1
Current Record: 75 wins, 64 losses September 04 Game One Hundred and Thirty-Eight - The Other Pena Hits the Walk Off WinnerJust got this one in the bottom of the tenth. Good to see the "old guys" in the lineup. Oh my god! Carlos Pena hit a walk off homer in the bottom of the tenth! Very cool. Didn't even get chance to settle in before it was over. Tavarez pitched ok, giving up 2 runs in 6 innings. Maybe he should be a starter all the time. The bullpen made it stand up, with Timlin getting the save. Manny hit well in his return, going 1 for 2 with 2 walks. Lowell had the big hit, doubling in Manny in the ninth to tie it up. The Red Sox are now 6 games behind the Twins in the Wild Card Race.
