More Vertigo for Drew? The Red Sox had a first baseman one year, Nick Esasky who left the Sox for free agency. He got vertigo and never played again.

[The Dustball]

Terrible call on the strikeout of Ortiz. Hopefully Manny can make the Oriole's sloppy defense pay for their error.

[The Dustball]

Haha you could feel the excitment from the entire ballpark there when Manny hit that. Even Don was starting to get pumped up.

[a700hitter]

Crisp is really over due.

[The Dustball]

f*** you Jay Payton. 1-0.

[VA Sox Fan]

2-0, ok all is good. Glad The Captain ended his 0-18 skid.

 

DUSTIN!!!!!

[The Dustball]

DUSTY!!! Lead cut in half. 2-1 O's.

[VA Sox Fan]

Make that 2-1 w/ the Little Dirt Dawg going long! NIIIIIICE!

 

Come on Papi!

[VA Sox Fan]

PAPI PAPI PAPI!!!!!

 

2-2!

 

Ok Manny, ready for 500?

[The Dustball]

Tie game! Back to Back jacks. #13 for Papi. Nice to see Ortiz near the top of the league in Hr's and RBI's.

[a700hitter]

Back to Back by the oddest looking pair that you will ever see.

Yes it is! Gotta love it.

So true!!

[The Dustball]

Nice job by Lester to work out of trouble, but he's throwing way too many pitches. He's at 52 through 3.

[The Dustball]

While the left side of the O's infield defense really does suck, it doesn't help them that Millar can't field for s*** at 1B.

[a700hitter]

Coco is killing the lineup for the last several weeks, especially when he is playing for Ellsbury and he isbatting in the lead off spot.

Isn't really an alarming number of pitches. He could easily make it through six innings at that pace. Seven not being at all out of the question.

It would be nice for him to go 7 tonight since the 'pen had to work hard last night. He's probably not going to go too many pitches over 100 so he needs to work more effectively.

[The Dustball]

Now He'd be lucky to make it through 6.

[The Dustball]

Nice. 1st and third with one down. Whatever you do Tek, please don't hit into a double play.

EDIT: SWEET!!! RBI single for Varitek. Now its time for Crisp to break out of his slump.

[The Dustball]

MANNY!!!! 500!!! CONGRATS. One of the best pure hitters ever. Amazing.

 

Haha this is so nice to see. The crowd is mostly Red Sox fans anyway so Manny is getting a nice standing O. Figures that the night that Thumper doesn't call his 500th, he acutally hits it.

[Remember the Titans]

OMG THUMPER PERDICTIED TAHT IT WOOD HAPEN 2DAY!!!

[das11209]

The crazy latino got it. I love it.

 

Congrats Manny....

[a700hitter]

Manny gets 500! He's one of the greatest RH hitters ever. He's certainly the greatest RH that I have seen in a Red Sox uniform, and that is saying alot. I've seen the entire careers of Evans, Rice, Fisk and Nomar.

[Beaneater]

I predict that if Ellsbury steals three bases a game for the rest of the year, he will end up with a lot of stolen bases.

[Beaneater]

Lugo draws another walk. Again, why wouldn't you just throw Lugo fastballs down the gut? The worst that could happen is that he could beat out a chopper to SS. That's the absolute most that Lugo is going to do with a ball this year.

 

EDIT: Badly phrased. I don't mean that Lugo will not hit the ball out of the infield ever again this year. I mean that this year's Lugo is unlikely to do much more with the bell.

Doug Mirabelli says hi. Oh, wait...

[The Dustball]

Oh s***. I hope this is nothing serious. Papi has been the power in this lineup, we need him.

Beaneater's eternal question: what happened? Toinked himself fouling that last pitch off?
