Does Wright have a catcher binky like Wakefield did with Mirabelli? I am still trying to figure out why Vasquez keeps catching when he is so bad at framing pitches and calling a game. If he hit, it would be one thing, but he and Leon are not far apart offensively. I say this, because I think the plan from the start was to bring Wright in after E-Rod tonight.

If Devers can't get hold of fastballs down the middle, he's a pretty worthless player.

Not sure how far this team will go in the post season if the starters can't go at least 6 and really 7 because the Sox bullpen is horrible.

I really hope this series is a wakeup call to the team before the playoffs. I still very much think they have the will to win this game, but they must play with a determined focus. They can't get mad or pissed. They must understand that they are simply better than the Yankees, and play like it.

I am hoping, praying, that Cora is playing Vazquez that much because he wants to give Leon some rest before the playoffs. Because what it LOOKS like is that he's trying to make Vazquez the regular C, or at least co-regular. And I don't see what he brings us that makes him worth that.

Three more chances to get that run back and then some. Gotta think we can hit that ridiculous short right porch again. Wright has done a nice job settling things down....

356 to the upper deck is that even possible?

If Devers can't get hold of fastballs down the middle, he's a pretty worthless player. He’s not a good player yet. .710 OPS with poor defense. I like the kid, but he has to improve. I still believe in him though. He’s young.

Dumbness on Cora’s part earlier in the game was returned by dumbness on Boone’s part. Why bring green back?

With that swing, and what appears to be a world of ability, it is shocking that JBJ isn't a consistent .280-20-80 type of hitter.

Another Eckism (re JBJ's homer): "Room service split finger." Gotta love it.
