Jeremy Hellickson takes the mound for the Rays. Bartolo Colon has been awful his last two times out. He looks to dash the Rays playoff hopes, as Tampa sends 24-year-old Jeremy Hellickson. With the exception of Nunez starting for Jeter, Girardi is sending the “A” lineup, which follows. Comment away.

It makes you appreciate Jeter’s lack of range and general defensive ability when you watch Nunez play SS…
;)
Mr. Martin, I ask you again, please stop sliding head first into first base. Oh, and please stop hitting into triple plays.
He’s was trying to screw the Sox…clearly.
And now Sox fans can fully appreciate the hatred we have for Rafael Soriano.
Oof. I am so conflicted watching this game. On the one hand Soriano drives me insane. On the other hand, knock knock…,
Nice grab, Teix.
Who’s there?
I should be more upset that Soriano is yet again faltering so close to October.
On the other hand, my first emotion when I saw the gameday update was a brief flash of glee.
Mariano is in. So Girardi decides to put all his top releivers in today for them to get some work before the postseason. They won’t be around for tomorrow.
The prospect of a Sox-Rays playoff looms large. That would be a fun game to watch.
Can’t say it, Nick. :)
Mo handled Upton nicely.
Oh I know, ag :)
Meanwhile, I find it bizarre semi-rooting for the Yanks to not win. Suddenly, I want Kyle Farnsworth to close us out? What?
The Yankees lose. And the pressure is on the Sox.
I already did in the last thread.
Time to check out Camden.
