4/22 vs. Los Angeles, California Angels of Anaheim, USA, of Earth

[a700hitter]

Weaver's pitch count is high. We could get him out of there soon and win this game if we put a major leaguer on the mound. Lugo is hitting like I remember when he was on Tampa.

[ORS]

Now all he needs to do is change his name from Lugo so I no longer feel a reminder of the hate.

[redsoxrules]

thats what 6 straight AB with hits for lugo?

[a700hitter]

Did you notice that they shook Pauley's hand and handed him his bags. They led him to the Pawtuckett Shuttle and gave him a one-way ticket.

I bet Tito helped him pack.

[MANNYHOF24]

Now all we need is a pedroia single, Ortiz walk and a Manny bomb. It's as easy as abc, 1-2-3.

[redsoxrules]

the sox should have started tavarez in this game

[ORS]

Weaver doesn't finish this inning.

[Thumper]

Papi singles and this is a 2 run game!

[MANNYHOF24]

YOUKKK!!!!!

[Thumper]

YOUK BOMB! AND THIS GAME IS TIED UP!

[ORS]

Youk is such a solid ball player in every facet. He does nothing excellently, but he's good at everything.

[ORS]

CMW with his best David Pauley impression.

 

6 base runners in 1.1, 2-2 in Chicago.

Top 20 position player in baseball?

 

Considering offense and defense....I wonder?

How about geting on base? Hmmm... .389 career OBP isn't eye-popping, I guess. How about fielding 1B? I think he's pretty hoss at that. But yes, he pretty much does it all... 'cept maybe steal home.

 

Edit: .386 career OBP, my bad.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Youk rocks.

[TheKilo]

s***** call.

[Beaneater]

Youk rocks.

 

You would think so.

[Thumper]

This is why we need replays.

[TheKilo]

Stud.

[Thumper]

ELLSBURY GOES DEEP!!!!! 6-5 SOX!

[riverside sluggers]

That would be the potential 2008 ROY going deep for the 2nd time tonight!

[ORS]

Top 20 position player in baseball?

Don't think he's quite there, as that is elite territory. I mean think about it, to get there he's got to be better than the best player on 10 teams. Don't think he's there.

 

Ellsbury is 10 different kinds of awesome.

[a700hitter]

Ellsbury is finally making a statement that CF is his. It should've been a 2 run HR. Lugo got robbed by the Ump.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Love that upper-cut swing he has. He's starting to settle into that power swing when he pulls the ball. Ellsbury is quickly turning into a star.

[Beaneater]

So, Ellsbury is doing his Ty Cobb impression? "Yeah, I could hit home runs, but that's so boring. What? You want me to hit a few this game? OK."

 

At least I think that was Ty Cobb.

Offense and defense included, can you think of 20 you'd take over him?

 

ARod

Pujols

Holliday

H. Ramirez

Utley

Wright

Ichiro

M. Ramirez

Howard

Reyes

Texiera

M. Cabrera

Ortiz

 

This is the list I have so far, when you factor in his defense (and his flexibility) I think he's in at least the same conversation as Ortiz and M. Cabrera.

 

I dunno, I really think you can make the case.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Jacoby Ellsbury also apparently rocks.

Ichiro can do that too.

You would think... oh, never mind...
