[Youk Of The Nation]

Holy. f***ing. s***.

 

No way.

 

I mean, seriously. NO f***ing way.

[MC Hammer]

This just isn't fair. Man I love this guy.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

David Ortiz is not from this planet

[riverside sluggers]

Papi has had the best month of July ever for a Red Sox hitter- 13 HRs, 34 RBIs

 

Oh and he's right now at 37 HRs, 105 RBIs through July 31 :harhar: 2006 MVP he better be

[RoyNHSox]

Snyder gets the win too. Well deserved.

[Optimist]

I'd say unbelievable...

 

...but it isn't at this point.

[jsinger121]

He is truly the man

[RedSoxRooter]

I just got up off the floor. :ortiz:

NO QUESTION who the MVP should be.

[Yolo-Golo-Va]

OMFG Mango Salsa baby!!! MVP all the way.

 

[RoyNHSox]

The top 3 Sox players of the game: #1 Ortiz, #2 Snyder, #3 WMP

[Youk Of The Nation]

Snyder gets the win too. Well deserved.

 

 

Thats what I was thinking. Lost in the insanity was his 4.1 IP, 1 H, 6 K performance.

I have a man crush on Big Papi

[Optimist]

What a win for the Sox, given all the dissapointment about the trade deadline.

Teams should just forfeit when he steps up to the plate

[Yolo-Golo-Va]

OMG that thread is awsome. Stupid skankees fans. It pains them to give Papi any credit.

[Optimist]

From June 24:

 

There should be a new rule. If Ortiz is at the plate, with the potential of a walk off, the game should just be declared over and in the Red Sox's favor.

I remember that perfectly. You are a very bright woman.

 

Don't overlook Snyder. What an outing, and gets the very well deserved win. I hope that's the reliable arm we needed. I'm so pumped after watching tonight.

[Soxfan1]

Me and my dad called it. Wow. Just wow. optimist, what do you think of the nyyfans posters in that thread?

[riverside sluggers]

NESN

 

Jason Johnson will be called up to start tomorrow's game vs the team who cut him. Im guessing it'll be Javier Lopez sent down

[RoyNHSox]

Tina C announces that Jason Johnson will be starting tomorrow.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Same s*** over and over and over again. Its quite amazing. Carmona dug his own grave anyway. When you fall behind 2-0, Ortiz could just sit fastball cause there is no way in hell he wants to face Manny with the bases loaded. I'll bet most of his walk of shots come when the pitcher is either down in the count or even. Get ahead and keep the ball in on his hands. But I guess thats easier said then done.

sad bitter little men.

It just baffles me that no one intentionally walkes Ortiz in those situations. I realize that Manny is in the four spot, but it is a no-brainer to put Papi on.

You cant put the tying run in scoring position esp with Manny coming up.

No its not. Its a no brainer if Loretta bunts the guys to second and third. In that case, with guys on 2nd and 3rd you set up a force play by walking him, keep the double play intact, etc., Loading the bases AND moving the runners up a base means that Manny simply needs a single to tie the game. Odds are that Manny will get a hit more often than Papi will get a homerun, ergo, pitch to Papi.

 

Over, and over and over again. That's why everyone keeps talking about Manny as being the glue that holds the Sox lineup together. The guy has a 1.000+ OPS and a .430 OBP. They will avoid Manny till the cows come home.

[example1]

Sorry, Manny actually has a higher OBP and SLG than Papi does. Papi gets the numbers because nobody wants to pitch to Manny.
