September 29 vs Baltimore

[riverside sluggers]

Its all about Papi these last 3 games. Sox have to win at least 2 out of 3 to even tie for 2nd place. Trying to savor these games now, no Sox games for 6 months

[Youk Of The Nation]

Tavarez gets a lot of double plays, and a lot, it seems, on the first pitch after a hit.

[riverside sluggers]

Web gem of a DP started by Pedroia's dive and shuffle to Loretta while on his stomach. Also good to see NESN show his stats over his last 10 games, 11 for 34 (.324 avg) 4 RBIs

[Youk Of The Nation]

Lowell!

 

This game could be the shot in the arm the Sox need to turn the season around.

[Youk Of The Nation]

on that note, how does a guy WMPs size score from first on a double to left field at Fenway?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I find it amusing that the only home run Tavarez has given up to the players on this team was to Widger.

 

Edit: Why? Because Widger is a funny name. Just say it a few times.

 

Widger

 

 

Widdddgeeerrrr

JT needs to stretch it out this winter and make a shot for the 5th rotation spot. He's not looking stellar, but he is looking capable holding a back of the rotation spot.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Is anyone else intensely watching the Stros-Cards race?

 

This is the most exciting thing this season for me.

Does KFK cameo as Doug Heffernan's cousin on The King of Queens.

[riverside sluggers]

great strategy Tavarez

 

--intentional walk to Tejada to load the bases

--whatever reason paying too much attention to runner on 2nd base instead of batter, couldve gotten injured on that dumbass of a play

--walk Jay Gibbons on 4 pitches

--now first 2 pitches to Hernandez are balls

KevinFC damn it.

[riverside sluggers]

ugh Lowell's 22nd GIDP this year

[RedSoxRooter]

Lowell!

Man, I just read that and shot beer out my nose and all over my monitor.

[riverside sluggers]

Yahoo! Sports Jeff Passan's picks for this year's gold gloves

 

SS- Michael Young (14 errors this season, Gonzo at 7)

3B- Joe Crede (10 Errors this season, Mr. Doubles at 6)

 

Alrighty

[CrespoBlows]

Crede - +21 FRAA

Lowell - +18 FRAA

 

Probably a toss-up here.

 

Young - +20 FRAA

Gonzalez - -3 FRAA

 

Young's probably going to win it.

[riverside sluggers]

Pena on 3 base straight times today after his opposite field RBI single

[v2freak]

Tavarez dive to second was priceless!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Widdddgeeerrr.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Whats Chavez's FRAA?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Did Jerry Remy go off the deep end or something?

[a700hitter]

Did Jerry Remy go off the deep end or something?

He's having a little fun in a meaningless game.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Figures, he has been pretty funny. "Come on Youk double and get into scoring position" boom a double.

[a700hitter]

Figures' date=' he has been pretty funny. "Come on Youk double and get into scoring position" boom a double.[/quote']He has been calling it the "Homer" inning where he calls the Red Sox half of the inning as a total Homer. He's like John Sterling without Susan Waldman.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Or Hawk.

 

 

Widger!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Why wont my new signature show?

[riverside sluggers]

woohoo Manny DC, continue to urge the Sox on to scour the relief pitcher market this offseason

[CrespoBlows]

Whats Chavez's FRAA?

 

18.

[a700hitter]

MDC's stock is falling. He hasn't looked good in some time.

[riverside sluggers]

Manny in September (9 appearances)

8 innings, 17 Hits, 10 Runs, 1 HR, 3 Walks, 6 Ks

 

This is coming off of respectable months of June through August, ERA's of 4.35, 3.52, 3.46

[a700hitter]

I just love to watch Lowell play defense. The guy is almost flawless. Foulke continues to throw well. He has put together an impressive string of outings. To bad he did n't get healthy earlier. His velocity hasn't been bad. I would n't mind this Foulke in the bullpen next year.
