Let's see. Hmm. What turning points options do we have here? How about this one? Will Terry Francona's decision to give David Ortiz a weekend rest turn around the struggling slumber's season? Or, will yesterday's victory prove to be the turning point of the season?
This is the thread for sf-rod and all other Sox fans to discuss Boston turning points.

Good strikeout there. Only 10 pitches in the inning, half of them from Beltre’s at-bat.
thank you nick. here’s to hoping you and your team have several more turning points this season.
Error by the shortstop loads the bases? TURNING POINT!!!!!111oneone
bases juiced for the captain.
ath- turning points only happen when your playing a sub .500 team without one recognizable starting pitcher.
Another error? Shit yeah.
bases rejuiced after a tek sac fly followed by an infield hit.
who would have guessed jacoby would be hitting .300 by the middle of may with the start he had?
Fuck you Johnny Damon.
sf, around April 15 I said something like “I’m calling it now: today Jacoby starts his meteoric rise to his 2009 batting title”
johnny damon hits a pop up down off the end of the bat to the second baseman. opps, my bad. it’s a homer to right. TURNING POINT!
I predict David Ortiz will not break out of his slump today.
have you noticed how the yanks have taken to the shaving creme towel prank after games? they’re so wacky with their team chemistry and good time feelings. you can really tell they’re a tight nit bunch. it doesn’t look and feel forced at all.
Say it with me: WE WANT BUCHHOLZ. WE WANT BUCHHOLZ.
this comment about Damon’s hit made me laugh REALLY hard.
clays pawtucket line….
2-0 1.03 ERA 37 K’s to 10 BB
Translation:
Clay’s pawtucket line: awesome. Masterson should be in the bullpen.
beauty DP turned by beltre.
ath- the funniest comment i’ve heard so far with regards to yankee right field (the porch damon built) was…. during the graduation ceremonies that NYU had at yankee stadium this past week, when the students threw up there hats they all ended up in the upper deck in right field.
1-2-3 for Masterson. Only 35 pitches after 3. But another scare on Junior’s fly ball to right.
Masterson’s pitches have amazing movement on them; but when he’s coming out of the bullpen his velocity is 95-98, whereas as a starter it’s more like 92-95. Big difference in his effectiveness.
Don’t get me wrong: he’s a great #5 pitcher. But he’s more valuable out of the ‘pen.
JD Drew drinks your milkshake. 2-2.
That’s hilarious sfrod! I need to find that commercial.
Jason Bay pops up with the bases loaded. It’s not Papi, it’s the number 3 hole!
Another DP? Seriously?
Bases loaded, nobody out, we don’t score. Enough of that already.
First and second one out, another DP. Some krueg-like profanity in order.
pretty decent outing for masterson. 6 K’s an no BB’s. quite a difference from his last outing in anahiem.
Spectacular catch by Lowell!!
And then Nick Green throws one away. His second error today.
Winning run on second. IBB to Ichiro.
Gutierrez single wins it for the Mariners. The winning run is unearned. Sucks.
The Sox’s AAAA players’ production no longer vastly exceeding their talent is really killing the offense. Fortunately for the Sox, Youkilis is coming back real soon.
Booooooooooo…what a sucky west coast travesty.
The Yankees win three straight games on walk-offs, and the Red Sox lose two on walkoffs. What a shitty weekend.
Sox lose again.
I blame “Whitney from Boston”:

Youks should be back Wednesday, Dice-K Friday.
No word yet on Papi’s return.
Ortiz is supposed to be back tomorrow, though I don’t know when he will “return”.
