4/20 vs. Texas Rangers

[Beaneater]

I wouldn't mind Manny in this spot...

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah Manny woulda been nice. Ugh.

[Cocos Disciples]

The pitch count for Wake is exactly what the Sox need.

[Cocos Disciples]

Boom. 5-0 Rangeros.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Fuuuuuck.

[ORS]

Game over with this offense.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Youk 3-3

[Beaneater]

So far I'm not minding having Casey in the lineup.

[schillingouttheks]

What the f*** .. I knew the Sox had tons of LOB, but today it's especially bad with RISPLOB.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Sox: 8 hits, no runs. Rangers: 7 hits, 5 runs. Something is not quite right about that.

[Beaneater]

Just a note: Tim Wakefield, 8 IP, 0 BB.

 

Maybe he could talk to Matsuzaka... and Lester... and Aardsma...

[Beaneater]

Yay! Ellsbury tripled! (See above comments.)

[schillingouttheks]

Look at last night's line ... it's not exactly "right" either, lol.

 

Jed Lowrie really wants to kick Lugo to the pine, huh? This kid is quite impressive.

 

Papi for the chance to tie it up!!!!

[Cocos Disciples]

Cmon Papi.

[Beaneater]

I can't be alone in wanting to see Lowrie supplant Julio "GIDP" Lugo.

[Cocos Disciples]

You are very much not alone. Probably in the majority.

[Cocos Disciples]

Looked liked he got him...whatever. 5-4.

[Beaneater]

Or we could just build a scarecrow at the SS position, and hope that grounders will occasionally clang off of it toward another fielder. Then move the scarecrow to the batter's box when necessary and hope for HBP. That'd be a good approximation of Lugo so far.

[schillingouttheks]

Wha? Looked like he was safe to me.

[Cocos Disciples]

Go go go go go TIE GAME OOHHHHH BABY PEDROIA ABOUT f***ING TIME GUYS

[schillingouttheks]

THEY TIED THE f***ING GAME NO WAYYYYYYY

 

LOL the Rangers must be wondering what the hell they have to do to close out a game against us....

[Beaneater]

Seriously. I mean, look at our lineup. No Manny (for most of the game), no Tek, no Pedroia (for most of the game), and we're still hosing their relievers.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wow, I thought this game was over. Jed Lowrie needs to play for this team. I say bench Lugo.

[Beaneater]

All of this started after we made 2 quick outs. I like it.

[Beaneater]

Uh... Gamecast says ball 2 was right down the middle...

 

... and ball 3...

[Cocos Disciples]

Walk! Oh baby, 6-5!

[MANNYHOF24]

NICE!

[Beaneater]

Were the ball/strike calls as crappy as Gamecast made them out to be?

[MANNYHOF24]

This team is so resiliant. I mean with no Manny, and down 5-0 they could have mailed it in. What a game this has been.

[ORS]

I'm loving the idea of Ellsbury, Pedroia, and Lowrie playing everyday.
