Today's job was easy, eh Riverside?

[riverside sluggers]

By far one of the easiest

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice start for Dice. By the way Jerry, Renteria actually did not have a good offensive year in 2005. A .720 OPS sucks. Not to mention the lowest amount of steals in his career with 9.

 

Now let's hit this kid.

[Rdsxmbnt]

good for a 91 OPS+ (100 is average so he was below average)

[Cocos Disciples]

Lugo HR. 1-0.

[Rdsxmbnt]

lugo leading off with a HR!

[ORS]

I like the start.

[BoSox21]

alright Lugo, you sexy bitch

[TedWilliams101]

Lugo leads off with a HR. Great start.

[riverside sluggers]

Im loving Lugo

 

Suure Jacko... his brief stint in Los Angeles should have us concerned

[Cocos Disciples]

Apparently Papi has walked in 21 of the last 22 games. Walks here.

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice double Manny. 2nd and 3rd 1 out. We're pounding this kid.

[BoSox21]

tough for a guy who spent his entire career in the AL to go to the NL and have people expect that he be productive right away. Lugo is a good ballplayer

[BoSox21]

nice to see Manny's bat come alive a little bit

[Cocos Disciples]

Walking Drew for Mike Lowell? Lowell has been more productive than Drew. C'mon Senor Doubles.

[TedWilliams101]

I'm gonna be at the game tonight. Lets sweep the DH, boys!

[BoSox21]

Walking Drew for Mike Lowell? Lowell has been more productive than Drew. C'mon Senor Doubles.

 

Cox is going for the DP. make em pay Lowell

[BoSox21]

oh wow, imagine if the Braves gotta dip into the bullpen right away in this one

[example1]

Unable to get it done with the sac.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lame. Shoulda got more. 1-0 after 1.

[Rdsxmbnt]

that is absolutely pathetic that we only score 1 run there, that is unacceptable

[TedWilliams101]

Bases loaded, 1 out, none score. here we go, Dice-K

[riverside sluggers]

Wasted opportunity, Lowell and Tek both hitting weak flyouts. Lowell's out looked like he reached out of the zone for it (which wouldve been ball 4)

[Rdsxmbnt]

very nice DP

[BoSox21]

Dice-K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! real nice play there

[riverside sluggers]

Dice-K known for being a gold glove pitcher in Japan just might contend to someday win a gold glove over here

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice DP there. Did that bat go all the way past the 2B position?
