June 10th vs San Diego

[Tek04]

Sox got spanked last night, lets not let that happen again

[CalvnHobs6]

Schilling's on the mound...all is okay again. As long as Dominique is not at first, and Pokey is at second.

Can youkilis play 1st?

 

defensively the sox should look like this

 

1st Youkilis/Millar

2nd Pokey

SS Nomar

3rd Bellhorn

 

LF Ramirez

CF Damon

RF Nixon

I would a young guy like Youkilis is versatile enough to play first base, yes. I would like to get that bat in the lineup most definitely. And he is a nice big target at 1B for the infielders to throw to.

That's actually not too bad of a lineup.

[JMDurron]

Slight problem - Nixon won't be there.

 

Defensively, I think our best unit, as the roster stands right now, is

 

C - Varitek

1B - McCarty

2B - Pokey

SS - Nomar

3B - Youkilis/Bellhorn (they both seem average at 3B, not bad though)

 

LF - Manny

CF - Damon

RF - Kapler

 

(Ortiz DH against RHP, Millar or Mirabelli against LHP)

 

Problem is, that has McCarty, Pokey, and Kapler in the same lineup. That's bad.

 

Offensively, the best lineup would be

 

C - Varitek

1B - Ortiz

2B - Bellhorn

SS - Nomar

3B - Youkilis

 

LF - Manny

CF - Damon

RF - Millar

 

DH - Mirabelli by default

 

Problem is, this lineup is Pokeyless, and has miserable range in RF, with limited range at 1B.

 

The only obvious, undebatable positions on this team, in considering offense AND defense, are C, SS, LF, and CF. With 3B falling under "kinda" with Youkilis, given the small sample size.

woot woot, way to go pokey

[CalvnHobs6]

Y'know, Pokey doesn't produce much offensively, but when he does...it's kinda nice.

[CalvnHobs6]

The Manny/Ortiz connection. Gotta love it. 3-1 sox.

[YanksHater213]

it feels great to say this again

 

NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

 

youks with a 1 run double

 

NOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! with a 2 run double

 

6-1

and MILLAH (without all the As)

 

8-1 good guys

[yeszir]

Good game so far, Can't complain when you're up by 6!

[yagmaster]

I love Nomar (see my screenname for proof). I'm so happy he's back and swinging the bat well.
