5/17 vs. Milwaukee Brewers - Game 2

[Jayhawk Bill]

Whats the criteria for getting a WS ring? Just having been in at least one game for the team that season?

 

Does Wily Mo get one? Jeff Bailey? Buchholz?

 

Does Youk have one from 04?

 

Youk has one from 2004.

 

Edit: On a quick check, Jeff Bailey got one for 2007...one game seems to suffice.

 

BTW, Rudy Giuliani has four from his days with the Yankees.

The straight away CF cam is a good angle to see how much the KB moves.

[Cocos Disciples]

About to blow another lead...

[Cocos Disciples]

And its 6-5 Brewers. Lovely.

[a700hitter]

Hansen has that sweaty scared Calvin Schiraldi look. Schiraldi didn't get that look until the post season. Hansen may not have the heart to pitch in big spots.

That might also be the "I wish my fielders didn't give the other team 7 outs this inning" look.

[Beaneater]

What is this, buy one-error-get-two-free day?

 

EDIT: Or is Ellsbury just making the fielders really nervous?

[a700hitter]

Good base running by Pedroia. The Brewers are butchers in the field. They are trying to hand back the game.

[ORS]

Favor is getting returned. Very nice of the 'Crew to give as good as they got.

[Beaneater]

Ugggh... wish GameCast didn't stink so much today. It's like getting a live feed from the surface of Mars.

[a700hitter]

A weak ground out by Papi and pop up that got over the drawn in IF and the Sox have the lead back without getting a legitimate hit.

Man, it's nice to have that happen for us rather than against us for a change!

[Beaneater]

If Okajima's left arm is still attached to his shoulder, shouldn't he be pitching here?

[ORS]

Can anybody on this team field a ball tonight?

[ORS]

Jima is on the shelf for a few days with a sore wrist.

[ORS]

Lopez, you chickenshit, at least hit him if you are going to walk him everytime you face him.

[Beaneater]

Roger that, thanks.

[ORS]

I have a feeling letting Cash GIDP there might hurt, what with Timlin coming in to shut the door.

[Beaneater]

Timlin in for the one-run save... one of the less savory aspects of doubleheaders.

[a700hitter]

Lopez got the big DP to get out of the inning and now Timlin has the weak part of the lineup for the save. He gets the first two outs oin 4 pitches.

[a700hitter]

The NESN gun showed Timlin's last 3 pitches at 94. Could that be accurate? He gets the 1-2-3 inning and the save.

[Beaneater]

8 pitches to get the save. Any of you who saw that coming, please raise your hands.

 

That's what I thought.

 

WIN!

[ORS]

You know, in hindsight, I should have known Timlin would get them out 1-2-3 considering this was bizarro day out there.

[See Red]

Good day for us.

 

Rays lose, Yankees lose, and we win both games.

[Beaneater]

Good point. Note, though, that Lugo did not hit a HR today, as that would have caused the bizarr-o-meter to spin up to a high-pitched whine, emit clouds of gray smoke, and finally self-destruct.

[a700hitter]

If Timlin can regularly hit just 91MPH he can be a valuable contributor to the pen. The NESN gun had him hitting 94.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good day, sweep tomorrow.

[riverside sluggers]

Great to see that friend back, a winning streak
