Where the hell is everyone?

 

I was watching The Office but now I'm back.

[Cocos Disciples]

The K to Inge was number 1000 for Beckett.

 

Nice, congrats to him.

[Beaneater]

Youkilis might be one of the top ten first basemen in MLB.

 

Maybe as good as sixth-best.

 

I heard a wise man say this same thing... can't quite remember who or where...

[ORS]

He can't even f***ing bunt.

[redsoxrules]

this is the 8th game in a row that the sox have had at least 11 hits in a game and das11209 says this offense blows:rolleyes:

[Beaneater]

How does Lugo have a .288 average? I'm not sure I've ever seen him get a hit. Check that -- he laid down a nasty bunt single Tuesday. Presumably he does sometimes swing the bat and get a hit...?

he has a bunch of infield singles, I think he actually leads the league in that department

Dude, it's the hit/run ratio.

No, see, MLB instituted a new rule near the end of Spring Training, every error by a shortstop is counted as .020 on their batting average.

Well, that's something, I guess.

[Beaneater]

No' date=' see, MLB instituted a new rule near the end of Spring Training, every error by a shortstop is counted as .020 on their batting average.[/quote']

 

So shouldn't he be batting .693?

[Youk Of The Nation]

So shouldn't he be batting .693?

 

No, with his .288 average that means hes batting .088 without the errors!

 

[ORS]

Throw that same slider right over the plate. It's unhittable, but it's got to have the right initial azimuth.

[Beaneater]

No, with his .288 average that means hes batting .088 without the errors!

 

 

I was thinking he had 39 errors and a -.087 average. My bad.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Where the hell is everyone?

 

Working on a school project with my son with the game on in the background.

[Beaneater]

That was an entirely acceptable inning by Hansen against 3 pretty good batters. He stays in for the 9th too?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Oh, so you think your kids are more important than TalkSox, huh?

[Youk Of The Nation]

He only threw 12 pitches, so I would imagine so.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I would imagine wrong. Delcarmen in.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Oh' date=' so you think your kids are more important than TalkSox, huh? [/quote']

 

Ummm, yes.

JHB II is nearing the end of a 66-page book report on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think he's doing pretty well for fifth grade. :thumbsup:

[redsoxrules]

what a play by dusty

[Beaneater]

I would imagine wrong. Delcarmen in.

 

Surprised me too. I guess MDC hasn't worked in a while. I think the Tigers are mailing this one in anyway.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Dustin Pedroia ranged six steps to get that first out. Great play.

[Jayhawk Bill]

If we can take 3 of 4 at Detroit' date=' I consider that a pretty big success, and we have a good chance to do so with Beckett on the hill. [/quote']

 

Good thread start. Good game. :thumbsup:

[Beaneater]

Ballgame. JHB, there's the coup you were speaking of.

[ORS]

Agreed 3/4 anywhere on the road is good. On to the Metrodome.

[BoSox21]

Beckett is such a lovely pitcher

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ummm, yes.

You know, speaking of important, I postponed sex for at least an hour to finish watching the game. I think maybe I have my priorites mixed up...

This reminds me: I've been looking for a sig quote...
