[Youk Of The Nation]

Cora! Cora! Cora!

[Cocos Disciples]

So is Cora!

[RoyNHSox]

Props to Cora and the good day he’s having.

[RedSoxRooter]

Cora the explorer!

[a700hitter]

How's that taste going down your throat?

Very tasty as I had hoped.

[a700hitter]

Cora has established himself as this teams best bench player -- a super-sub.

[ORS]

Anyone see the close up of Youks face in his stance?

 

Youks is fuking intense!

[yankeessuck013]

haha what's next...

 

Seanez is so fuking intense!

[jsinger121]

ridiculous he walks the leadoff man alex cintron.

[jsinger121]

why did francona leave him out there again?

[Cocos Disciples]

uh oh. Beckett for Iguchi, Lopez for Thome, Hansen on.

[RoyNHSox]

Umm…time to go to the pen, please.

[RedSoxRooter]

Who's up in the pen right now?

[yankeessuck013]

hansen/ lopez

[a700hitter]

uh oh. Beckett for Iguchi' date=' Lopez for Thome, Hansen on.[/quote']I don't trust Lopez against Thome.

[ORS]

Alright, pulse check time. Tito, he's about to juice the bases with no outs.

[jsinger121]

This is francona's problem. He leaves a struggling beckett out there to get in more trouble for his pen when he could have had 3 innings from his pen.

[yankeessuck013]

f***

[jsinger121]

here comes the fool out of the dugout

[yankeessuck013]

lopez in for thome

[RoyNHSox]

Tito pulling off his Grady Little impersonation quite well today.

[Cocos Disciples]

Ughhhhhh

[RedSoxRooter]

Lopez does not impress me.

[jsinger121]

Tito better not put a shift on either for Thome

[Optimist]

Did Francona forget the way to the mound or something?

[Cocos Disciples]

I don't trust Lopez against Thome.

 

Who would you rather have, Beckett who walked 2 guys in the inning?

[a700hitter]

Beckett just couldn't pitch with a lead today. I don't like this Lopez move though. It makes me extremely nervous. Thome can take an outside pitch a mile to the opposite field. I don't know if Lopez has the nerves for this situation.

[a700hitter]

Who would you rather have' date=' Beckett who walked 2 guys in the inning?[/quote']No, did I say that? Does not trusting Lopez equate to leaving in Beckett?

 

Edit : How comfortable are you right now?

[yankeessuck013]

why? thome is 0-7 vs lopez

[ORS]

Tito pulling off his Grady Little impersonation quite well today.

It's not quite at that level. Grady did the big no-no, he left Pedro in well after 100 pitches against the Yankees. Everyone knew that was something you just couldn't do. Beckett was at 87 coming into the inning. The leadoff walk of Cintron, a complete chucker, should have brought the hook.
