Tonight is all about riding hot streaks. Can Jon Lester stay hot on the mound? Can David Ortiz, who will be playing first base tonight, stay warming at the plate? Can the Red Sox stay high after their sweep vs. NY?

Good move on Large Father at first. Need to ride the momentum of the good swings…
that and the band box in Philly is ideal for him
DAMMIT!!!!
WTF RAM RAM!
Ramirez just ruined the great job of Lester…
everyone still want Ramirez to be the closer?
I did not expect to check on the game and find it in the 13th
Ramirez is NOT a closer. He is a dynamite set-up guy. He had just given up two bombs and was shell shocked, baseball’s version of PTSD. You want to get him back on the horse, but not like that. Psychologically, this was a bad call by Farrell and Tito with experienced closers available. Now, Rammo has to get over this.
The Sox have Papelbon, Saito, Bard, Masterson (and H.Jones) who are comfortable closing. That’s alot of good closers. Let Rammo and Oki set up, let MDC handle middle innings with the alternate closers as needed. No need to experiment right now.
