Ryan Sweeney has been activated and will start in center for the Sox, and ex-Buc Pedro Ciriaco gets his first start for the Sox, at short. Swisher’s gonna play first with Nix at the hot corner. Doubront and Hughes on the bump. There are some funky, funky lineups that follow (from @Ken_Rosenthal), comment away.

Buck and MacGruber.
Brutal.
This game is all about Hughes.
3 RUN BOMB FOR TEX!!!!
3-0!!!
No outs.
Couple errors there by the Sox 3rd baseman hurt.
SICK snag Robbie…DP.
1-2-3 first for Hughes.
Whew.
3-0 after 1…
I don’t have the world-wide leader, so was going to go watch it at a watering hole, but that didn’t work out. Now I am watching the line score. Better than nothing..
It’s on FOX ag…you definitely get FOX.
Muscle got a hit!!! Double!!!
No damage. Dude has settled down for the Sox.
ANDRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
DIVING grab for the 3rd out…
Saved what could have been at least a run.
Is this 1997??? I mean, I don’t really remember ’97 so you tell me!
The bats have gone silent.
Here we go…Hughes implosion.
3-1…but a DP.
OK.
3-1 after 3…not bad.
This dude for BAH-sten at SS is solid with the glove.
Just made a great play to save a 2-on, no out situation.
I have no idea why I thought it was on ESPN
My God, why are you taking a picture? Swing!
I have a bad feeling about this game…
Because you are ag…
“…I have no idea why I thought it was on ESPN…”
um,becuz espn used to be about sports relevance…they are showing the last place phils 13.5 out against the 3rd place braves 5.5 out…must not be a hot dog eating championship on tonight…that’s real sports news
Hughes the fucking failure strikes again…
Fuck you Phil you worthless piece of shit.
Sox win.
Rubber game tomorrow.
I’m out.
Lots of predictions on Twitter that Padilla will plunk drama queen Teixeira next inning.
I hope so. A brawl is exactly what we need after this embarrassing, pathetic effort…
…and PS IBM, the dude throws at him every fucking game, except last night where he crushed him for the win so he is hardly a drama queen.
Don’t be bitter.
Still hoping for a brawl though…although that would really only hurt us so maybe not…
Sox > Hughes/Wade
I could have told you that.
Hughes shrinks on the big stage as always.
Nice knowing you Wade. We will never see your sorry ass again.
Tomorrow to win the series or choke and tie.
I’m going with choke. Because we suck.
i think they’re just joking around about the drama queen thing krueg…tex doesn’t very often say too much about anything…not very quotable, and certainly not much drama…and, as fans of a team that features guys like papi, beckett, and pedroia, and until recently, the king of queens in boston, youkilis, they have to realize that tex’s comments about padilla’s penchant for bouncing baseball’s off of him were appropriate and matter of fact…the guy has plunked tex an inordinate number of times…he pointed out that history, and suggested that’s what made torching him a little sweeter…zzzzzzzz
IBM is just projecting…I understand, I have rooted for teams that have drastically underperformed too…
