Wells is pretty much gone

[yankees228]

Does anyone know the exact time of the waiver trade deadline?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I believe its midnight. So they could actually start him and trade him after the game. However I think if they were to trade him they wouldnt start him.

[Papelbon58]

we have pretty much 0 percent chance of winning this game, unless Tavarez goes like an inning and then Paps comes in for 8 or something. Nevermind, no chance

[jsinger121]

Wells was scheduled to pitch tonight. Does this mean he is on his way to another team?

 

yes likely San Diego for catcher George Kottaras

Thanks.

Tavarez wouldnt start the game today if Wells goes off to another team, RSR was just goofing around. DiNardo is the fallback option, still a lost game

[jsinger121]

Tavarez is the confirmed starter according to boston.com

:wtf:

[schillingouttheks]

The only thing that I'm interested in for this game is the crowd's reaction to when the Sox take the field.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

How so ?

[RedSoxRooter]

I think there will be cheers until Tavarez walks the first batter.

 

Oh, and I was thinking about this on the ride home. How deep do you think Roy will take a no hitter tonight?

[yeszir]

I have a GOOD feeling about this one guys!

[jsinger121]

we have a 3-0 lead off roy halladay. im in shock.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Runs! Holy crap.

 

Oh wait, Tavarez pitches next inning.

[jsinger121]

These september gameday threads are going to very few posts.

Get this man some Xanax. You need to have a good feeling every day.

I'll still be here when I'm not working the next day.

[ORS]

That was one hell of a meatball, JT.

[RedSoxRooter]

I wonder who we're getting for Wells. Must be a list the Pads said the Sox could choose from.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Maybe we can get Bellhorn back?

 

 

*ducks*

[schillingouttheks]

How so ?

I was wondering if they'd be booed when they took the field. They weren't booed, but they weren't cheered terribly enthusiastically.

[ORS]

The Pads will be easy to root for during the stretch run. Dave, Boom, Cla, Marky Mark, Embree.

 

Lopez sucks major ass.

[schillingouttheks]

Lopez sucks major ass.

Quoted for truth.

[ORS]

Two bad plays by the D allow the tying run to score....again.

 

I like Crisp's balls to the wall aggressiveness in the field, but his decision making is s***. He played a single into a triple earlier. And, he just played a double into a triple. He had a legit shot at the second ball, but he can't track down a ball hit over his head worth a damn, so he missed it.
