5/5 @ Detroit Tigers

[a700hitter]

He gets the two big guys. He's playing with fire, and he will have atough time going 5 innings.

[ORS]

Somebody with half a head from the FO needs to be on the phone right now letting Tito know he needs to ignore the "let him get the win" BS. If he walks the leadoff guy in the 5th at 90 pitches, pull him.

[Youk Of The Nation]

This team is going to give me lung cancer....and destroy my liver.

[ORS]

There are chunks of Bonderman in Lowell's poop. That's right, I said poop.

[ORS]

SuperJew!

[Thumper]

Yoooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkk!!!!!!

 

Looks like BOMBerman needs a little mound visit.

[riverside sluggers]

Very cool. Entering tonight, Lowell and Youkilis were a combined 0 for 21 against Bonderman... both take him deep

[Cocos Disciples]

I could get used to this.

[a700hitter]

Youk has more pop and is more aggressive than he has been in past years. He knows that power hitters make the big $.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Youk has more pop and is more aggressive than he has been in past years. He knows that power hitters make the big $.

 

He's looking like one of the top ten first basemen in MLB to me.

 

Maybe even as high as number six.

[redsoxrules]

I predict a very long game.

good call

[ORS]

For those of you who may have been in the can during the commercial break, ESPN let us know that Arena Football is on ESPN2. Just so you know.

[a700hitter]

He's looking to walk the lead off batter

[Cocos Disciples]

Who's this Heidi Watney...hey-o.

[a700hitter]

... and he does.

[TheKilo]

The new sideline reporter is a fox.

[ORS]

Is he trying to see how many guys he can walk without giving up a run?

[a700hitter]

Oh yeah, who is this Heidi? No wonder Remdawg and Orsillo always have the giggles.

[TheKilo]

How the f*** do you go 3-1 on Pudge?

[ORS]

Dice: "This pop up, grounder s*** is boring, let put another one on and make it interesting."

[a700hitter]

Dice K gets 2 quick out and now he is missing his spots by about a foot and a half.

[Thumper]

Is he trying to see how many guys he can walk without giving up a run?

 

Speak of the devil... 7th walk.

[TheKilo]

How the f*** do you walk Pudge?

[a700hitter]

7 walks. Ridiculous.

[redsoxrules]

dammit throw strikes , you have a 4 run lead

[redsoxrules]

theres only 3 tigers batters he hasent walked

[Thumper]

Tavarez in the bullpen. Sweet, we'll start giving up base hits for a change.

[redsoxrules]

Its about time

[a700hitter]

Too bad you can't just pass the batter to first like in a softball game. It would save on his pitch count. If he can get through 5, the bullpen has to give 4 innings to get Dice K another cheap win.

[redsoxrules]

good AB PAPI
