September 12th @ Toronto

[ORS]

Tito lost his job tonight if the Sox don't make the postseason.

[RedRuffing15]

Like at a statistical stand point, or they just won't do it, Manny been hot latley, they don't want to have to be down by 2 going into the bottem of the ninth

[RedRuffing15]

nevermind, I was wrong :dunno:

[riverside sluggers]

so lucky right there by that rare error by coskie

[MANNYHOF24]

Way to go Manny!!, wow koskie stops everything

The probability of Varitek (who follows Manny) hitting a single is greater than the probability of Manny hitting a HR. If they IBB Ortiz and Ramirez, then a runner is in scoring position in a tie game.

 

I can't believe this needs explaining, but I'm a nice guy.

[riverside sluggers]

varitek continues his f***ing slump!!

[riverside sluggers]

just 3 hits in his last 25 at bats now--now onto papelbon to bring this game to the 10th inning

[MANNYHOF24]

In comes Papelbon

Argh....this is seriously starting to get to my head. If the Jays win, I think this is the last straw with Tito. My view on him has changed SO much with that one pitching change. Yet, it would be a little strange to see a manager booted out the door because of yet ANOTHER pitching change, no?

Isn't managing the pitching staff the biggest part of the manager's job?

[yeszir]

I have a not so good feeling about the bottom of the 9th.

[riverside sluggers]

k, 1 out

[schillingouttheks]

I have a not so good feeling about the bottom of the 9th.

I got that feeling when Foulke gave up that grand slam to I think Hafner in that game against the Guardians, at the Fens

[riverside sluggers]

whoo paps way of the K, 2 outs

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice K there by paps!!

[ORS]

I have a not so good feeling about the bottom of the 9th.

Do something to get rid of it!

 

Take a cold shower, sacrafice a chicken, lick a toad,... something!!!!

[riverside sluggers]

damn Paps big props to you---expected are Olerud, Nixon (hitting slump) and Mueller--Id say to do the 10th either bring Paps back in, or have Delcarmen to do it

[MANNYHOF24]

Paps gets the job done... maybe Tito should go to him in more of these situtations

[schillingouttheks]

This game SHOULD be over now.

[riverside sluggers]

no doubt

[MANNYHOF24]

True statement

[MANNYHOF24]

Mueller should go yard right about now

[riverside sluggers]

Mueller on base for kapler--just need a good enough double to get billy home

[ORS]

I would get excited about a base runner, but Kapler hasn't looked good at the plate tonight. Prove me wrong Gabe.

[riverside sluggers]

and kapler like varitek and nixon continues his hitting slump

[MANNYHOF24]

Damon must be really hurting not to pinch hit in that situation.... Any body knows what Barry Bonds has done tonight

[HOFer51]

varitek continues his f***ing slump!!

well, to be fair that was a nasty curve ball. Not much you can do about those except hope it isnt called.

no ABs so far.

3 hits in 25 at bats is a slump, just to bair to explain it to you clearly
