[Youk Of The Nation]

Aardsma settling down. Lopez in to pitch to Hamilton.

Except for a shortage of "Burrs:" Chris Burr, the George Mason standout who only made it to A-level ball and who is now in his 11th year of managing the Vienna Senators, seems to be the only "Burr" in recent years.

Curses! So we need a Lincoln and a Booth, a Garfield and a Guiteau, a McKinley and a Czolgosz, a Kennedy and an Oswald, a King and a Ray...the possibilities are endless!

You guys are such dorks

Oddly, I can't find any "Czolgoszs," either. Go figure.

 

Are "Kennedy" and "Oswalt" close enough?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Gerald Lairds' MLB stock photo makes him look like an overgrown ten year old who just heard the ice cream truck.

Are "Kennnedy" and "Oswalt" close enough?

 

There's a Kennnedy? With three n's?

 

I'm too lazy to look up all the other famous assassins...Ghandi, Sadat, and that guy who killed Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk...

[Jayhawk Bill]

You guys are such dorks

 

 

Well, I guess it's all relative: what do Oriole fans do when they're leading 8-2 after eight innings and they're about to sweep the four game series?

good point

probably not

[Youk Of The Nation]

Lugo 4-4 with a walk, double, RBI and no errors. It's...it's like Christmas!

Kudos for catching the typo in the 30-odd seconds before I edited it. :thumbsup:

I wasn't sure, actually, because it was in quotes. My mistake.

[Youk Of The Nation]

f***, Thurston, the ball is supposed to be hit straight OUT from the box, not up.

[ORS]

Lugo's swinging the bat like his job is on the line or something.

Lugo's swinging the bat like his job is on the line or something.

 

Or like he did in the second half of 2007, when he batted .280 with little power and few walks. He hit exactly .300 the first half of 2006 and .295 for all of 2005, too. Lugo sucked from the time he was traded to LA until the 2007 All Star Game, roughly a year. He no longer sucks...he's a .300-hitting shortstop whose arm is accuracy-challenged, and he's badly overpaid, but he doesn't suck.

C'mon, MDC...end this.

[ORS]

Nice looking change ups from MDC to Hamilton.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Game. Sweep!!!

[schillingouttheks]

Sweet. 4-game sweep without Beckett pitching one of those games. 14-7 record. April's the most difficult month the Sox have too ... pretty uplifting.

 

MDC really needs to either 1) shave that fugly beard or 2) trim it. It's awful.

[redsoxrules]

14-7

[BoSox21]

really cant complain about how this series went. kinda eased the pain a bit from the Habs sucking lately

He's got the talent, I don't dispute that. But, prior to today, he showed very little of it this year. I recall reading that like 8 of his 18 hits prior to today were of the IF variety. Today, he started squaring the ball up. Hopefully, that continues.
