HORSE MOJO!

looks like rain.

[MANNYHOF24]

I think after last nights performance MDC should get more and more opportunities to prove himself. He looked really really good with a 96-97 MPH FB and a nasty Curve. It really looks like he has things figured out. Also what are the other RH options right now, Timlin is atrostious and Delcarmen could be huge for us down the stretch.

[BoSox21]

MDC's control is still inconsistent

[jacksonianmarch]

MDC's control is still inconsistent

 

and hence why he cannot be given a much bigger role off one appearance. Say what you want about Manny D, but he has an equal chance of walking the park as he does of getting 3 outs. Disprove this over a long enough period of time and then place him in a setup role. Until then, mopup duty it is.

[MarkTaylor]

MDC's control is still inconsistent

 

as is most of last year's bullpen thats sitting in Pawtucket, that's why you don't see the Beslow's and Hansen's of the minors being called up as much instead going to the veterans like Piniero and Donnelly

[schillingouttheks]

Breslow actually had next to no time in the majors last year, and when he was given the opportunity he was absolutely dealing. I don't remember the lack of control that you seem to remember.

[seabeachfred]

Redundant as hell but we need a win tonight. It's time we start building some new momentum of our own. I wonder if the Rockies are going to be able to take the measure of the Yankees in their three game series. They get Fogg the first game, the same pitcher we were supposed to hammer last time and didn't. Just to play it same we need to give Josh Beckett great support and he need's to pitch a gem tonight.

[adam123]

Here we go time to be a 10 game winner future Cy Young winner Lets go Beckett.

[Cocos Disciples]

Win.

[mtbykr]

The real men of genius mojo didn't work last night, but let's give it one more chance with a boston twist!

[seabeachfred]

If it works I'll drink to that.

[BoSox21]

thats s*** your pants funny though. I love listening to the big show

[schillingouttheks]

Hahahaha.

 

Real Men of Genius is marketing at its finest. It's absolutely great!

[Cocos Disciples]

Weirdest stat just shown on NESN: on Thursdays-Sundays, Sox are 31-10. On Mondays-Wednesdays, they're 13-15.

[TheKilo]

Yeah, we really need momentum seeing as we won 3 of 4 games.

 

Whatever, Beckett wins tonight.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I know Drew can work counts...but I'd really like to see some kind of statistic as to how many at bats of his start off with first pitch looking, second pitch swinging...down 0-2.

[schillingouttheks]

I'd like to see how many 1-2-3 first innings the Sox offense gives up. I would not be surprised if it's the most in the majors.

[Cocos Disciples]

Hudson sets em down 1-2-3.

[Rdsxmbnt]

horse mojo

[Cocos Disciples]

Moving Andruw Jones down to 6th definitely makes sense.

[schillingouttheks]

horse mojo

 

Damn straight. Because Beckett's a f***in' horse.

 

I realized how ridiculous it was as I was doing my last minute scramble for some mojo.

 

Nice K for beckett.

 

What the f*** has gotten into Willie Harris?

[Cocos Disciples]

Willie Harris........??

[adam123]

Willie Harris........??

 

Thant guy could not hit here at all now he's looking good boooooo willie.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

Willie Harris........??

 

Hey, if we're going to have freaking Coco mash for us, they're entitled to have Harris mash for them

[TheKilo]

We score this inning.

[schillingouttheks]

Good thing Beckett got McCann out of there on that next pitch. His pitch count is currently x + 1, where x is the number of pitches officially thrown, because of that "time" call. Way too late to call that.

 

Anyway, good start. Beckett always settles down after the first inning so giving up nothing was big for him there.

[TheKilo]

TIM HUDSON IS THROWING A PERFECT GAME
