...and praying the pen doesnt blow it

schillingouttheks · October 10, 2004

as ive watched in the past, i dont think having lowe in the pen is an awful idea come post-season. i can remember that lowe has had some key moments in the post-season, including the wrap-up of game 5 of the alds last year in oakland, and pitched well in game 3 this year. thoughts?

sarasoxfan · October 10, 2004

I think having lowe anywhere gives me hives. I almost threw up the other night...The pen is just dandy without him, the only thing that it means as fas as I can see it, is now Francona has more options to make stupid moves. As usual though our team is so damn good it doesnt matter that we have the worst manager.

I dont think derek has a place in the scheme of things anymore. Maybe as a long relief guy, but he is too much of mental patient to serve any important role...

He helped no question but beware!

Not true. You say what happened to our pen in game 3 of the alds. They essentially blew the game. Lowe came on and got 3 strikeouts in 1.2 innings and pitched decently. The playoffs are a whole other ballgame from the regular season. I would not be surprised to see Lowe continue to pitch and continue to pitch well.

CrespoBlows · October 10, 2004

Francona won't dare to put Myers against a righty, will he? That was the dumbest move I've seen.

yankeessuck013 · October 10, 2004

MLB.com says the first pitch is @ 8 pm!

Edited, thanks for the heads up.

Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry

Tessie is the song they always sung

Tessie echoed April through October nights

After serenading Stahl, Dineen and Young

Tessie is a maiden with the sparkling eyes

Tessie is a maiden with the love

She doesn't know the meaning of her sight

She's got a comment full of love

And sometimes when the game is on the line

Tessie always carried them away

Up the road from Third Base to Huntington

The boys will always sing and sway

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted

We're not here to mess around

Boston, you know we love you madly

Hear the crowd roar to your sound

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you

You know we couldn't live without you

Tessie, you are the only, only, only

The Rooters showed up at the Grounds one day

They found their seats had all been sold

McGreevy led the charge into the park

Stormed the gates and put the game on hold

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright

Boston's tenth man could not be wrong

Up from Third Base to Huntington

They sang another victory song

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted

We're not here to mess around

Boston, you know we love you madly

Hear the crowd roar to your sound

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you

You know we couldn't live without you

Tessie, you are the only, only, only

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright

Boston's tenth man could not be wrong

Up from Third Base to Huntington

They sang another victory song

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted

We're not here to mess around

Boston, you know we love you madly

Hear the crowd roar to your sound

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you

You know we couldn't live without you

Boston, you are the only, only, only

Don't blame us if we ever doubt you

You know we couldn't live without you

Red Sox, you are the only, only, only

I will be playing, and singing that, all day long on Tuesday.

Me too. I hate punk music.

And guess what, I'm passing on game 5 or 6 tickets to go to Nashville. :angry: I'm upset at myself.

schillingouttheks · October 11, 2004

give them to me!!!!!

DOrtiz4prez · October 11, 2004

NO GIVE THEM TO ME.

schillingouttheks · October 11, 2004

he actually knows me.

DOrtiz4prez · October 11, 2004

your friends?

schillingouttheks · October 11, 2004

in a way, yes, i know him through his younger bro.

My lineup for tomorrow nights game...

J.D. - hitting .240 with 18 hits 1 hr and 9 rbi's

M.B. - hitting .333 with 1 hr

M.R. - hitting .203 with 15 hits 5 hr and 13 rbi's

K.M. - hitting .348 with 8 hits 1 hr and 3 rbi's

D.O. - hitting .069 with 1 rbi

T.N - hitting .193 with 11 hits 1 hr and 4 rbi's

O.C. - hitting .200 with 1 2B

J.V. - hitting .091 with 4 hits

B.M. - hitting .000 with 0 hits

David Ortiz, Jason Varitek, Bill Mueller and Pokey Reese have struggled significantly against Mike Mussina this year. Combined they are batting .058 with 90 AB/39 K/2 RBI/6 H/0 HR. So they will need to turn this around in order to beat Mussina. And they will...

The header bar reads "5 outs better?" And it's a valid point. We were better than the yankees last year and we had them beat. This year we're a better team than last, definitely at LEAST 5 outs better.

Dent-This · October 12, 2004

Here is some more fuel to add to the fire.

Tek04 · October 12, 2004

i hope we destroy the yanks :thumbsup:

yeszir · October 12, 2004

Yea, that whole shirt controversy is stupid. Why would MLB endorse and profit from a Sox bashing shirt. It's so stupid.

schillingouttheks · October 12, 2004

im not sure they would make too much...basically the rest of the mlb would prefer the sox in the WS than the spankmees.

and with that being said....THIS IS MY 1000th post!!!

ACL BoSox · October 12, 2004

Schilling will do what he always does, WIN!!!

element1151 · October 12, 2004

We need it for this game. Game 1 sets the tone.

sarasoxfan · October 12, 2004

I just read where Tek is an incredible 0-for-34 with 19 strikeouts at Yankee Stadium this year and fell from .248 to .196 lifetime at the Bronx. The swoon included an 0-for-10 performance with eight strikeouts during the Sox' last visit to Yankee Stadium Sept. 17-19.

Somehow it would help a lot if he were able to reverse this curse, oops, I mean change that trend.

we need ya today Tek!

mosox · October 12, 2004

I'm looking for Schilling to be great tonight. The hitter that scares me most is Matsui, Schilling has to be careful with him.

I see Francona is leaving Youk out and putting Mendoza in to shore up the bullpen. This could be a key move of the series.

Tek needs to hit better, I mean, hit against the MFY.

Damon getting on base seems to be a key to big innings.

If the Sox are behind late watch for the exciting Dave Roberts to pinch run.

GO SOX!!!
