1. ray james Posted: August 26, 2011 at 12:09 AM (#3909146)This will be a good test for Miller. The Rangers are good represent the quality of competition Miller will face if he's on the playoff roster. It will be interesting to see if he cracks.
4 in 3 games - insane.
He had some good swings robbed in Fenway as well - what were we worried about?

Nice freaking turn!
SALTY!
And Salty didn't even look like he got all of that.
I have been listening to them today and through parts of the series
Nice throw from Scutaro before btw
It's bizzaro world to say the least....
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Red Sox will play a doubleheader against the A's Saturday, with game-times slated for noon and 5 p.m. The move is in response to the impending threat of Hurricane Irene, with the extra game on Saturday replacing Sunday's scheduled series finale.
"Yeah, but they weren't really good," said player representative Daniel Bard regarding other potential options. "That was what made the most sense for everybody. Obviously travel is going to be pretty rough leading up to it so we were trying to get creative and find another way to do it, but that's just how it worked out."
Red Sox ownership had originally proposed the idea of playing a doubleheader Friday, but with the team getting in early in the morning the same day after playing Thursday night in Texas, that was not considered an option by the players.
"That was their first thing and we can't do that," Bard said. "You can't ask guys to play 18 innings after getting in at 5 a.m. That was quickly shot down. We would rather play the game after the season than do that."
The Red Sox players had also proposed the idea of playing Sunday's game at the end of the regular season schedule, but were told such a scenario wasn't an option. The teams will, however, have to play after the scheduled 162-game slate if either game is rained out Saturday.
"We thought it was as players, but it turned out it wasn't," said Bard of the option.
Three grand slams. Three!
Wow, mister! How could you tell? Are you a magician or something?
Is that a record?
Early on I was having a giggle about Hughes as well - then missed the fireworks afterwards
I like him heaps still - but think he's a valuable fourth outfielder
