[redsoxrules]

the lineup is pretty weak in game 2 . lets hope schilling can dominate or we're screwed

 

1.crisp

2.cora

3.youkilis

4.ramirez

5.lowell

6.varitek

7.hinske

8.pena

9.pedroia

[schillingouttheks]

Gross. Eh, it's not terrible actually. It's by no means a good lineup, but at least Tito left enough of a balance between lineups between the day game and night game. Thank God Youk, Lowell, and Varitek are hitting well right now and that we aren't facing good pitchers with our s***** lineups today.

 

Who closes tonight if need be? Best case scenario is that Schilling pitches 9...but with his age it's kind of unlikely. Donnelly closes?

[BoSox21]

wow, looks like September 2006 all over again

[BoSox21]

Papelbon threw 13 pitches in game 1, would he be completely out of the question?

[redsoxrules]

Jima didn't throw alot of pitches either but i dont think tito will have them throw again tonight

[TedWilliams101]

Schillling isn't looking to sharp right now.

[BoSox21]

that cut fastball to get Sheffield was filthy

[TedWilliams101]

Schillling is throwing nothing but balls right now, wtf.

[BoSox21]

location problems for Schill

[riverside sluggers]

schilling since that last inning against Baltimore looking very rocky, control problems

[BoSox21]

huge K for Schilling

[riverside sluggers]

Oh that f***ing scared me

 

if need be, at least the bullpen is rested enough

[TedWilliams101]

Jeez. Schil got luck there. Lets get your location back or this will be a LONG game.

[BoSox21]

holy f***, my heart got stuck in my throat there

[TedWilliams101]

I'm going to be holding my breath with each FO. WMP in LF and Hinske in RF; I'm scared. Hinske looked lost on that flyball.

[redsoxrules]

leadoff single crisp!

[BoSox21]

wow is Youk ever hot right now

[TedWilliams101]

Youk getting it done yet again. He's sooo valuable to this team.

[redsoxrules]

youk!! 1-0

[TedWilliams101]

We need Manny to turn it up tonight.

[TedWilliams101]

Jeez Manny. When are you going to start playing this season?

[Teddyballgame10]

Im sorry I keep saying this but with Youk at .343 hes much better then Millar, I was just in shock when that was even argued. Give Manny time he has started like this before.

[TedWilliams101]

I would be afraid of him falling through the window. Now that would have hurt.

[TedWilliams101]

WTF.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Hinske is awful, we CANNOT give away outs

[TedWilliams101]

Schilling, no fly balls please. Your OFers are incompetent.

[TedWilliams101]

I can't believe they gave him a double on that. It was an easy Flyout that Hinske read HORRIBLY. I mean, so far on 2 FO to him, he nearly f***ed up the first one, and miss read and missed the 2nd one. Great Hinske, f***ing great.

[BoSox21]

he is laboring like crazy
