[Youk Of The Nation]

Wow, half our lineup has beat the crap out of Roy Halladay. Is it too much to ask for this team to score more than four or five runs yet?

[schillingouttheks]

Ellsbury

Pedroia

Ortiz

Ramirez

Lowell

Drew

Youkilis

Varitek

Lugo

 

...that's the lineup I would put out there.

[mAAAbs]

I heard Beckett is only going five at the most. <_>

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, he's on a 75-80 pitch limit. I mean, if he's doing extremely well, Tito might leave him in longer, but this early in the season I'd rather they SCORE SOME STUPID GODDAMN MOTHERf***ING RUNS so Beckett can leave in the sixth with a comfortable lead in line for the win.

[a700hitter]

That guy McDonald can play SS. He always seems to do well against us.

[Cocos Disciples]

f***ing shift.

[Youk Of The Nation]

John McDonald, Connecticut represent. Hooah!

[a700hitter]

Beckett with a good fastball today

[Cocos Disciples]

Yikes, the radar is saying 98. He's bringing it.

[a700hitter]

Nice hook to Wells. That has to buckle your knees after a 98 mph heater. I'd be bailing out to the dugout.

[VA Sox Fan]

Josh is looking good, no doubt.

 

Nice to have the game on TBS in HD, but the announcer Chip, called Papi, Manny Ortiz (he must be buds w/ John Kerry...LOL)

[MANNYHOF24]

98-99? I dont ever remember Beckett throwing that hard last season consistenly.

[MANNYHOF24]

Manny has led of way too many times last season.

[MANNYHOF24]

Lowell hasnt looked like a major league hitter this season.

[MANNYHOF24]

Drew is raking so far this season.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice 1B JD, come on Tek!

[VA Sox Fan]

Manny has led of way too many times last season.

 

You mentioned that yesterday, very true.

 

Dammit another runner stranded.

[VA Sox Fan]

JACOBY!!!!!! YES!!!!

[a700hitter]

Jacoby clocked that pitch. He has deceiving power.

[das11209]

Coco - if you are still bitching why you are not starting - GFY.

[a700hitter]

Did Remy just say that Ellsbury is 4 for 4 against Hallady with 2 HRs? That's impressive.

[schillingouttheks]

Drew is raking so far this season.

 

He was actually raking at the beginning of last season too.

[Thumper]

Beckett's looking great today. I hear they're only gonna keep him in for 85 pitches or so, which isn't a bad idea considering what he's coming from. But 98mph, Beckett's back, no doubt.

 

I also heard that Schilling's not doing surgery, just rehab, may have him back by the second half of the season. Anyone heard more of this?

[VA Sox Fan]

He was actually raking at the beginning of last season too.

 

Let's hope it lasts

[a700hitter]

Walking the #9 man has to piss off a pitcher.
