[MANNYHOF24]

Lets get a win on my birthday!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Lester vs. Roy friggin Halladay. Whoohoo.

[BSN07]

Anyone got a weather update for the game?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Anyone got a weather update for the game?

 

Partly cloudy with a 75% chance of too many walks.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Anyone got a weather update for the game?

 

Cloudy, 47 F, with a whopping 20 mph wind left to right.

 

Reminds me of Cla Meredith's first MLB game.

Lets get a win on my birthday!

 

 

Happy Birthday! Good time to break this crappy losing streak.

 

Nice 3 up 3 down inning for Lester, hope he keeps it up!

[BSN07]

Nice 1st inning by Lester.

[ORS]

Lets get a win on my birthday!

Your's too?

 

Small world. Happy B-Day, man.

[TedWilliams101]

Is anyone having problems with NESN right now? It's completely blank right now for me.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Called strikes two and three to Pedroia were both balls.

[ORS]

Since mlb.tv won't come back from the break, let me just say I don't like the pFx for called strikes 2 and 3 to Pedroia.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Is anyone having problems with NESN right now? It's completely blank right now for me.

 

Yes, I switched to the Toronto feed.

 

Funny, neither announcer commented regarding those bogus strike calls for Halladay vs. Pedroia.

[ORS]

Does Francona wipe his ass with the stats sheets the FO generates for him pre-game? Ellsbury has some decent success against Halladay. Crisp in the game makes no sense.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Does Francona wipe his ass with the stats sheets the FO generates for him pre-game?

 

Dunno. Could be. :dunno:

 

In 2005, in particular, he used them repeatedly to justify playing Kevin Millar when it was clear that Millar had lost his power stroke...I think that he uses them to justify playing veterans, but that he plays rookies when he expects veterans to really struggle.

 

We could write to him and ask...?

No problems for me. I have Comcast, MLB Extra Innings. It's allegedly in HD and it's NOT.

 

Another nice inning for Lester! Come on bats!

[VA Sox Fan]

Your's too?

 

Small world. Happy B-Day, man.

 

Happy Birthday to you too ORS!

[VA Sox Fan]

YOUK. So that's what a base hit looks like...haven't seen the Sox do that in a while..LOL!

[Youk Of The Nation]

ORS, per Castiglione on WEEI, Ellsbury was scheduled originally but pulled with a 'tweaked groin' from Tampa Bay.

[Cocos Disciples]

Stupid NESN.

[ORS]

Drew, you sly goofy bastard. Mixing it up with a weak chop to the LEFT not the right. You so crazy.

[ORS]

Hughes is getting cubically transformed in NY.

[VA Sox Fan]

Hughes is getting cubically transformed in NY.

 

As usual...nice.

 

 

Moss in for Drew....wow....:dunno:

[a700hitter]

What happened to Drew?

[Soxfan1]

There goes the no-hitter.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oh well...Lesters still pitching a hell of a game.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Quad tightness for Drew.

[Cocos Disciples]

So Lester is good tonight I guess.

[Youk Of The Nation]

57 pitches through 5 for Lester.
