April 8th @ Texas - Ortiz clocks his first two

[a700hitter]

Ortiz said someone will pay' date=' hello f***ing rangers!!!!!![/quote']That's right someone paid.

[riverside sluggers]

ooh Manny was so close for that one

[DrewDaGreat]

Manny almost goes back to back.

[yeszir]

Talksox needs more situation-appropriate smilies, like the Damon and Ortiz ones.

[the mann]

I think Youkilis and Lugo are the key to this offense......if they could just start hitting and getting on base....the games will change and the runs will come....as long as the don't we will continue to suck on offense

 

Ortiz and Manny are the keys to the offense, tonight Lugo and Youkilis are 0-3 combined, Ortiz and Manny are 2-4 with 3 RBIs.

You can kind of leave Manny out of that considering it's Ortiz who's 2-2 and Manny who's 0-2. But, in general, yeah.

[the mann]

Leadoff walk

sweet I never noticed this Joe Morgan smiley :wetodd:

We got the Papelbon one. Just hasn't been utilized much yet.

 

Speaking of, I'd like Paps to get some work tonight, save situation or not. He's only pitched once this year, and that was 3 days ago. Plus we have an off day tomorrow, so it wouldn't hurt.

[a700hitter]

Here's the Red Sox killer

[jacksonianmarch]

schilling is starting to lose his command again.

[jacksonianmarch]

can you make a joe morgan smiley with a smiley blowing its brains out?

[Cocos Disciples]

Dumbo play by Lofton, inning over.

[riverside sluggers]

Haha with the outfield assist... Coco Crisp, and he got out... Kenny Lofton?

 

EDIT: Nice show of speed by Drew, 6 game hitting streak now

[jacksonianmarch]

Drew with the IF hit.

[a700hitter]

Drew with good speed down the line.

[the mann]

DP

[Cocos Disciples]

Mr. Double (Play)

[the mann]

Varitek flys out to LF.

[a700hitter]

That was hit pretty hard by Tek. He's been on the pitches latlely.

[jacksonianmarch]

schilling velocity starting to drop. 88 and 91 after sitting at 93 the first 3 innings.

[ORS]

Dude, WTF is going on? Where is "the mann" to tell me that a Sox pitcher gave up a hit? Man, the offense blows lately, and now our trolls blow. Yeszir needs to fix this.

[TGov]

Is it just me or is Schill throwing A LOT of fastballs...

[jacksonianmarch]

Is it just me or is Schill throwing A LOT of fastballs...

 

he is, and surprisingly, he is throwing them up and out over the plate and he isnt getting hurt. I think he knows his offspeed stuff is hit or miss right now and at this point, it is better to go with what you can control rather than what you cannot.

[the mann]

67 pitches for Schiling

[a700hitter]

Yes, he is doing terribly. 5 k's in 4 innings. Isnn't this about the time that the Yankee bullpen enters the game.

[ORS]

That's more like it.

[TGov]

he is' date=' and surprisingly, he is throwing them up and out over the plate and he isnt getting hurt. I think he knows his offspeed stuff is hit or miss right now and at this point, it is better to go with what you can control rather than what you cannot.[/quote']

 

Makes sense... Also, I havent seen many breaking balls, but one that I did see was to Blalock who couldn't get a piece... it was pretty sick...

[Rdsxmbnt]

Yes' date=' he is doing terribly. 5 k's in 4 innings. Isnn't this about the time that the Yankee bullpen enters the game.[/quote']

 

that was about 2 innings ago

[a700hitter]

Crisp with a soft liner to LF for a hit.
