July 30th v. Minnesota

[RedSoxRooter]

Hey, WOW. Ortiz walks again! Woohoo!

[whereisnomar]

What number is Kapler?

[RedSoxRooter]

44

[whereisnomar]

44?? He should try to switch with Olerude for 19.

[whereisnomar]

OK, finally news on Ramirez, it is not for a trade, just to give him a day off because of everything that is going on.

[bigpapi349]

acording to jayson stark, manny is sitting out because the sox dont want manny to be distracted over all these trade talks. he also said that the devil rays are pretty much out of this trade and most likely going to send huff and baez to the white sox

[whereisnomar]

Yeah, that is what NESN just said.

[riverside sluggers]

pitcher vs batter matchups: Tonight amidst Manny being unexpectedly pulled from the lineup (traded maybe??!), David Wells takes the balls for the Red Sox who are looking for their 4th straight win. David Wells has had a great history against Minnesota including a no hitter in 98, 18-6 record with just a 2.26 ERA. The Red Sox also get to welcome back a clubhouse favorite, Gabe Kapler who was put into the lineup because of Manny's disappearance.

its a damn shame about manny... damn prima donna.

 

but kaplars back. got home intime to see him lace a nice little hit and score a run. that's always fun. we're definately starting o look good, the yankees lost to the angels and so far it looks as tho we're gonna beat minnesota. but it's still early. we shall see....

[ORS]

Kapler was coming up no matter what today because he has been killing the ball in Pawtuckett. He was hitting .636.

The Yankees beat the Angels.

[whereisnomar]

BeanTown, the Yankees won.

[ORS]

Bill Mueller kicks ass!!

[riverside sluggers]

Tony G!!! my boy scored all the way from 1 st and who cant beat what mueller does Tito keep Tony G as the 2nd baseman even when bellhorn does come back please

[whereisnomar]

Yeah, they should trade Bellhorn for a pitcher, keep Tony and Cora.

[bigpapi349]

probaly couldnt get a good pitcher for Blowhorn

[whereisnomar]

But still, they should really try to trade him. Why do we even need him? We have two back ups if we do.

[BeanTown33]

thanx tek me out to the... and where is nomar. lol. today i thought i heard they lost. my bad. my dad came ina nd corrected me too. i feel all dumb now....

[whereisnomar]

Its al right, I know they should have lost!

[whereisnomar]

Johnny D, Edgar R, and David O coming up, then if anyone gets on Manny... NOT! Wish they put him in though.

[bigpapi349]

they could probaly get terry mullholand for bellhorn

[ORS]

Thanks Wayne!

[whereisnomar]

Who the heck is Mullholand?

[bigpapi349]

lol. exactly

[whereisnomar]

We had a run every inning up to now.

[whereisnomar]

When does Bellhorns contract end exactly?

[riverside sluggers]

this season, how convenient

[whereisnomar]

Great, just don't play him for the rest of the season, and then keep Cora and Tony G

[whereisnomar]

And also, how long is he still on the DL?

[whereisnomar]

7 in a row for Wells, great!
