April 22 vs. New York - Back to Back to Back to Back

[jacksonianmarch]

If I were managing, Donnelly, the primary setup man, should have started the inning.

[example1]

It would have been an easier play if he had not been a midget.

 

Or if he had an extra hand growing off his right foot. He could have caught it more easily.

 

I hate superfluous dives.

[example1]

Here's the thing though...as good as Okajima has been, I think a big part of his success this week was that the Yankees had never seen him before.

 

Donnelly has been better than Romero this year, and past years. The only reason he's an unknown is that he's never used.

 

I'm glad they got out of it. Matsuzaka really shouldn't have started the inning, I would have liked either Donnelly or Timlin there.

 

 

In general I agree with you TheKilo. Seriously.

 

I just don't see a need to start second guessing before the game is over, especially since we're still winning.

 

People were second guessing the use of Okajima the other day as a closer, yet he did well. I told my wife it was either going to be seen as a stupid move or a stroke of genius. So far, the jury says genius.

 

Manny's broken out of his slump. We called it.

not bad not bad

[jacksonianmarch]

well, not too pissed if you guys sweep. The only annoyance is with the amazing Teflon coach. I wasnt expecting us to win the series, was worried about not winning one game and the worry came true. I am just glad its april and our rotation is about to fall into place.

 

BTW, I did a dance of happiness when I heard Torre was gonna be let go. Then i nearly cried when my heartstrings were tugged.

[TheKilo]

Remember when I said there were those games where Manny looks "locked in"?

 

This is the closest he's been all year.

[Anuj09]

wait do the fans chant DREWWWW when JD comes to the plate?

[example1]

Come on JD. Just one more rip, let's get a run in here. PLEASE!!

[mosox]

Manny = Locked In

I'm gonna start a new thread for you.

I think fall is the operative word there. They will fall into place and pull something in the process.

[a700hitter]

He was locked in yesterday, but he had only one hit to show for it.

[Anuj09]

lets go for the hat trick Lowell

[example1]

Oh, now the announcers start poo-pooing the Sox performance. They've "only" outscored the yankees 21-17. They have had to come back each game.

 

That is what baseball is all about fellas. You get 27 outs, so if you use them you shouldn't be penalized.

[TheKilo]

Yes.

 

Except for the EEIdiots.

I think the point he is conveying is that Okajima's workload is ridiculous when your rotation has left so little for the pen to do. 2 run lead with a lights out closer waiting should not force you to overwork a guy.

[example1]

Because if he puts someone in who gives up the lead the same people would be jumping all over him. He can't possibly win. Neither can Torre.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

Common Tek...give Paps a LITTLE breathing room...

 

Edit: New Tek has shown glimmers of Old Tek, but New Tek is still here, obviously...

[TheKilo]

No, I can see his point too.

 

I just think three days in a row was a bad move. But hey, we got the lead and the chance for more. It worked out.

poetry at its finest.

 

BTW, a note on Pavano, his status to this point has been considered "not even close". I would assume that means he is out for the season, lol. What a pussy.

[Rdsxmbnt]

here we go

[example1]

Now we have a 1 run lead, and Papelbon warming up. that's all I could ask for.

 

Here we go Papelbon, no big flies.

[god is a redsox FAN]

PAPLEBON!!! THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!

[TheKilo]

Hold on to your butts.

[a700hitter]

Fasten your seatbelts!

[jacksonianmarch]

top of the order. should be fun.

He is an ENORMOUS, UGLY, MALFORMED Pussy. I'm so glad he wasn't impressed when he visited with the Red Sox a few years ago. I like Beckett better. (And Wakefield, and Schilling, and Dice-K, and Tavarez, and Snyder, and DiNardo--even when he pitches in Oakland--and just about anyone else).

[example1]

Sigh. I'm nervous about this inning. Papelbon better have his A+ control here, and Varitek get his calls right.

[Anuj09]

No Jason Johnson ? Hahaha

[example1]

No Jason Johnson ? Hahaha

 

No. no Jason Johnson. I would rather have Pavano.

 

I kid of course. Johnson had diabetes, that's enough of a reason to like him more.

 

EDIT: by which I mean to "depussifyhim" relative to CP.
