September 3rd vs. Toronto

[BoSox21]

wow, nothing going right for Toronto

[a700hitter]

ho hum Ellsbury/Pedroia are showing us what 2008 & beyond will be like

Based on what he has shown so far, Ellsbury chould be a fixture in the leadoff spot next season

[a700hitter]

Drew with another productive out... chasing 50 RBI. He's earning almost $300k per RBI.

[ORS]

Ellsbury and Pedrioa should hit 1/2 for the next 10+ years, starting tonight.

[BoSox21]

Ellsbury and Pedrioa should hit 1/2 for the next 10+ years' date=' starting tonight.[/quote']

 

aint that the f***ing truth. I could get used to that

[schillingouttheks]

Well, this game is very nice.

[riverside sluggers]

That was Ellsbury's 1st career K in 26 ABs, like Pedroia his strike zone patience is solid

 

So possible destination for Crisp? I believe Atlanta and the Chicago White Sox are the most likely

[riverside sluggers]

Previous pitch, Matsuzaka nearing 100 pitches with no outs, no one warming up in the pen. But eh its Tito we're talking about

[a700hitter]

Dice K is wearing down. He's not being the horse we need him to be. For all the hype about all the throwing, he is not going deep in enough games.

[riverside sluggers]

That was quick for the 1st out, it only took him 6 batters to get there. Jesus Christ he was f***ing cruising like in other starts and then his knees buckle later in the game, hanging pitches over the heart of the plate ensue

[a700hitter]

His ERA is up and his K's are down.

[riverside sluggers]

And he gets a standing ovation as he leaves the mound. Im sorry but even if the pitcher's on track to get the win, I dont stand and clap for a pitcher who implodes as Dice-K just did

 

700, K's arent the problem for Dice. His last 4 starts he had 30 Ks. At Fenway Park he does have a much lower K ratio than his gaudy road stats

 

f*** now its 10-6

[a700hitter]

We have to hope that he gets a second wind as the colloer weather comes in, because he has really looked tired lately.

[riverside sluggers]

Lopez the lefty specialist is left in to face lefty smasher Wells, 4 pitch walk, get him the f*** out of there

[a700hitter]

They are doing their best to blow a 10-1 lead. Ridiculous!

[schillingouttheks]

...and now the tying run is at the plate. Stairs is good at hitting lefties.

[a700hitter]

and Stairs always swings from the heels.

[a700hitter]

WTF Lopez! Throw a strike. And he does and it's a 10-8 games. Crap!

[See Red]

Jesus f***ing christ...

[riverside sluggers]

10-8 now get the hack out of there. Hey Tito love your handling of the pitching today!

[schillingouttheks]

...this is f***ing pitiful.

[a700hitter]

Dice K has no excuse about run support tonight. I think run support is a bogus excuse anyway. Great pitchers pitch to the score of the game. He seems to pitch well enough to lose many times.

[riverside sluggers]

bases loaded no outs squander last inning is looking very big right now

[schillingouttheks]

One-run game...

[riverside sluggers]

Dice-K's final line

 

5.1 innings, 10 Hits, 7 Runs, Walk, 3 Ks

 

Damn this ump's strike zone has been tight tonight

[a700hitter]

What's the bullpen rotation tonight?

[a700hitter]

Thank you Ellsbury with the sparkling diving catch for the third out. It looked nothing like Mike Greenwell.

[riverside sluggers]

Jacoby f***ing' Ellsbury

 

Now Sox offense thanks to Dice-K and Javier Lopez (both left in too long), get some extra runs off of the Blue Jays' good set of young setup men

[schillingouttheks]

Ellsbury...thank you.

[riverside sluggers]

What's the bullpen rotation tonight?

 

Gagne is out for the next several days still. Delcarmen or Timlin for the 7th, Okajima for the 8th, Papelbon for the 9th
