Carlos Pena walkoff home run in the 10th. Red Sox came back from a 2-1 deficit in the 9th and tied it 2-2, then Pena got the HR in the 10th. 5.5 games back of the wild card. Huge win right here. BTW, Tavarez pitched a great game. I was pretty amazed by how good he was tonight.

hey at least they can enjoy one thing before they start playing golf a month from now :)

We needed this win , hopefully they can rally around this.

It must fell preety good when your first MLB homerun is a walk-off home run

It wasn't his first home run....he's been in the majors for awhile but spent most of the year in the minors this year.

It wasnt his first mlb homer , just his first with the sox.

Damn you Filipe , always beating me to the punch.

Uh, dude, he's not a rookie...

If you need a history lesson, Pena was a member of the Tigers since 2002 until 2005... the Yankees picked him off of waivers, played on the Clippers for 105 games, posting a .260 batting average until he exercised a clause in his contract, becoming a free agent...

Pena signed with the Red Sox on August 16th, he played his first game as a Sox on the 28th, and now, he hit the walkoff...

Again, why couldn't they televise this here? Did they really have to have FSU/Miami on both ESPN's? (I just don't get that Full Circle thing, come on, it's the same game, I don't care how many angles you can see it from.)

I don't get it either... the attention span of an average American is so small to do the Full Circle thing with...

Twins won too, so the point I made in an earlier thread still holds true. The White Sox could lose every remaining game and the Red Sox could win all their remaining games, and they'd still miss the playoffs if the Twins win all their remaining games. Boston won, but the magic number of the teams they're chasing shrunk nonetheless.
