Rain is starting again.

[a700hitter]

If anyone wants my tickets for tomorrow's 5 pm game, PM me.

 

Edit: I have to head home after the first game.

No takers?

[MANNYHOF24]

wow, If Tavarez can pitch like this all the time, we will have a very solid bullpen

[MANNYHOF24]

No takers?

 

Where are the seats?

[Buckeye]

No takers?

 

Oh, how I wish I could. But since I'm in Virginia that's not really an option.

Ok, so now directv says that NESN is forbidding them from broadcasting the game to anyone outside of the boston market:rolleyes: Is anyone else with MLB extra innings (outside of boston) having this problem other than me?

[RoyNHSox]

Seanez up in the pen.

I am.

[CrespoBlows]

Tavarez should have been pulled after the AB to DeRosa.

[RoyNHSox]

Tavarez should have been pulled after the AB to DeRosa.

 

Agreed. I guess Tito is trying to stretch the pen as much as possible with tomorrow‘s doubleheader.

[a700hitter]

Tavarez should have been pulled after the AB to DeRosa.

Seanez can't come in with the bases loaded.

[CrespoBlows]

Bases wouldn't have been loaded. He would have been able to face Mench with only two runners on.

 

But, well played, sir. Well played.

That scouting report is flattering version of what Baseball America, Baseball Analysts, and Baseball Prospectus all say about him. Namely, his command is inconsistent. If you have inconsistent command, IMO, you don't have good command. I'm not saying his command is weak, I never have, but it is the main flaw in his game right now (which is typical for pitchers his age). I like Lester, and I think it's great the FO has had the foresight to hang on to him, but I don't see a pitcher with good command based on the results he's produced this year. It will come with time, but he doesn't have it now.

I hate listening to Trup. Hate it.

 

swing, AND A HARD LINE DRIVE DOWN THE RF LINE TOWARD THE PESKY POLE...........foul ball. f***er.

[ksushi]

oh i know, its so annoying he does that like three times a game at least. WAY BACK WAY BACK!!!! caught at the warning track.

[ORS]

4 straight K's from a guy who has been up since '98, but appeared in only 4 games before tonight? So the D doesn't show up at all, and the offense turtles back into its shell after 5 innings. Smells like a loss to me. At least they scored enough runs so that the kid doesn't get an 'L' hung around his neck in his debut.

[RoyNHSox]

This game needs a quick shot of some late innings mojo.

Manny delivers.

[CrespoBlows]

Need to get Manny up in the ninth again. Only guy who seems to hit after 7 IP.

[CrespoBlows]

2:1, we ground into a double play?

[ORS]

Eh, I'm OK if they just flip the lineup. Of course, if Christopher Trotman Nixon were to channel his manna from yesterday, then all would be well.

[ORS]

Can anyone who is watching give me a report on those last two balls caught? Castig made 'em sound like Willie Mays' basket catch.

[CrespoBlows]

Game. Set. Match.

 

Foulke's likely DL bound.

[Buckeye]

Geez... 7 pitches and two runs. Horrible.

[RoyNHSox]

Game. Set. Match.

 

Foulke's likely DL bound.

 

I'm kind of surpirsed they even sent him out on a s***** rainy night like tonight.

[ORS]

AGon K's

Crisp singles through the hole into LF

Loretta doubles off the wall, Crisp doesn't score

Ortiz IBB

Manny hits #21........it's miller time!

 

Make it happen.

1st one a sliding catch by Hairston, actually a good play

 

2nd one Matthews went back on it, made an unnecesary jump then crashed into the wall a couple seconds after he caught it. You know, for style points.

[Buckeye]

AGon K's

Crisp singles through the hole into LF

Loretta doubles off the wall, Crisp doesn't score

Ortiz IBB

Make it happen.

 

Now that would be fabulous!

[Cocos Disciples]

A-Gon walks

Crisp grounds into fielders choice

Loretta singles to right, Crisp to third.

Ortiz singles to right, Crisp scores.

Ramirez flies to right, Loretta to third.

Youkilis singles to left, Loretta scores

Varitek singles to right, Ortiz scores

Lowell doubles to left, Youkilis scores.

 

Now that would be awesome too.

[Buckeye]

Snow! At least go down swinging!
