See Big O, that is why we like Manny!

 

 

Manny's been hustling more this year, but that's brutal.

[RavenOfProphecy]

Clint Barmes of meat-carrying infamy and John 'oh right, the clothes go on the ironing board first' Smoltz unavailable for comment on Damon's injuries.

 

Mariano Rivera got hurt tying his shoe once (I think it was pretty recently.)

[Teddyballgame10]

That doesn't make sense.

 

Im saying all we need is for loretta to get on base and just have manny and ortiz do there job and knock him in

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Varitek and Nixon look lost at the plate.....very strange year for them

[ACL BoSox]

aren't the A's against bunting?

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

yep

[BoSox21]

Schill thought that was gone

[RedSoxRooter]

manny goes boom. #28!

[TheKilo]

Boom goes the dynamite.

 

 

edit - x2. Good for Nixon.

[RavenOfProphecy]

Did they say how far it was? On gameday, it looked DEEEP, but I don't get the game.

[jsinger121]

Its a miracle....Nixon homered.....first homerun since June 9th

[RedSoxRooter]

Trot goes trot?

[riverside sluggers]

My eyes deceive me or has Trot finally connected for his 7th HR? Oh boy he needed to get that one out

[riverside sluggers]

Its a miracle....Nixon homered.....first homerun since June 9th

 

his first game of having more than 1 RBI in a month

[TheKilo]

Welcome to the big leagues, rook.

[a700hitter]

Schilling is having a tough time tonight. He's not happy with his stuff tonight.

[riverside sluggers]

Nor was his stuff working its best his last start. Hopefully its a quick phase

 

Last 2 starts

12 innings, 16 Hits, 2 Walks, 8 Runs

[TheKilo]

Guys, it wouldn't kill you to take some pitches.

[TheKilo]

Nice work, Curt. Hit the showers.

[a700hitter]

Does Schilling pitch the 7th?

[TheKilo]

Does Schilling pitch the 7th?

 

 

No chance.

[a700hitter]

I really hate going to the pen for 3 innings every night. It's a great way to burn out the young arms.

[a700hitter]

I missed Coco's hit. When I came back in the room the A's announcers were talking about someone's hand. The said he'd have some time to shake it off. Were they talking about Coco's hand?

Yes.

Curt's over 100 pitches, and clearly doesn't have his best stuff. Going to the pen here is the right answer.

[example1]

I thought Curt threw pretty well tonight. He had good location and pitched well enough to get to this point. Not as sharp as other outings, but he is a fighter and having a really, really good season. I'm impressed yet again.

[example1]

c'mon MDC!

[TheKilo]

Need strikes, MDC.

[a700hitter]

What happened to Coco's hand in this game?

[TheKilo]

What happened to Coco's hand in this game?

 

 

Looked like he got the hit off the far end of the bat. Just a stinger, I think.
