5/11 @ Twinkies

[TheKilo]

Maybe Tito will read the writing on the wall and give Lowrie the shortstop's job that's rightfully his.

 

Wakefield v. Some Dude.

[jacksonianmarch]

If DMats can keep his BB total down like this, he'll be dirty.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Don't f*** with my mojo.

 

TheKilo continues his assertive approach to Game Thread creation.

A few things....

Manny Ramirez is out of the lineup with sore right hamstring. Manager Terry Francona said Ramirez phoned him this morning to tell him the hamstring was hurting after he ran hard to beat out a double-play ball in the 9th.

 

Ramirez, who has one hit in his last 15 at-bats, was having treatment this afternoon. No word on how long he might be out.

 

Julio Lugo sat out a second day. Francona said the CT scan looked clean and that Lugo's eyes looked a lot clearer today. Alex Cora was starting at shortstop.

 

Francona said Sean Casey is with the team, but he won't be activated until tomorrow. Craig Hansen remains on the roster for at least another game.

[Jayhawk Bill]

The outfield of Ellsbury-Crisp-Drew is important for Wakefield. Cora is better than Lugo...I'd rather see Lowrie starting, but he was demoted earlier this afternoon.

[VA Sox Fan]

Ahhhh....Miller and Morgan...where's my mute button? LOL

[The Dustball]

Nice AB for pedroia there

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice AB for pedroia there

 

 

Definitely. Nice when Papi beats the shift. Come on Youk!

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice microphone in the dug-out catching Youk's F-bomb.

[The Dustball]

This team leaves so many men on base its almost unbelievable

[VA Sox Fan]

This team leaves so many men on base its almost unbelievable

 

 

Drives me nuts!

 

Another nice inning for Wake.

[Cocos Disciples]

This team leaves so many men on base its almost unbelievable

 

It comes with the high OBP.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice 1B Cash.

 

Welcome back Alex

[The Dustball]

Lol. Kevin Cash batting .378

[VA Sox Fan]

It comes with the high OBP.

 

Thanks for the reminder. So true. Will try to avoid going nuts.

[Cocos Disciples]

That was a SHOT. 3-0.

[The Dustball]

s***. That was not a good pitch, it got too much of the middle of the plate.

[Cocos Disciples]

Faack Wake has absolutely nothing, 5-0.

[Thumper]

This is horrible. Wakefield goes from an 8 inning 2 hit gem to a 5 run bed wetting...

 

Goddamn come on. Atleast it's only the 2nd inning...

[The Dustball]

This game is getting out of hand quickly. 5-0

[Thumper]

This game is getting out of hand quickly. 5-0

 

You know House is nothing compared to Scrubs right?

 

But yeah, 5 runs in 1.1 innings is very bad.

[Thumper]

Finally outta that mess.

[VA Sox Fan]

The 2nd was a "tad" rough!

[CrespoBlows]

You know House is nothing compared to Scrubs right?

 

But yeah, 5 runs in 1.1 innings is very bad.

 

Scrubs scrapes the bottom barrel of TV, nowadays, and that says something.

 

Why am I not surprised that you like it?

[Thumper]

Oh man that hurt just looking at it.

[Cocos Disciples]

Smooth, Blackburn.

[The Dustball]

He hits the first two men of the inning. I'll take it, now just score

[Thumper]

What the Hell is this? Okay I know the Ellsbury hit was an accident.

 

Replay looks like it was a bad inside pitch.

 

 

Atleast we have some runners on base.
