With Coco Crisp's suspension due to begin tomorrow, he gets a start tonight against the Astros, with Jacoby Ellsbury sitting

[The Dustball]

The Astros are a terrible team. Please win tonight.

[Cocos Disciples]

Plus it's Runelvys Hernandez. Wasn't he in Pawtucket recently?

 

EDIT: He bounced around in Boston, New York and Pittsburgh's AAA team in '07.

[Thumper]

Packing my bags as we speak, going to tomorrow's game!

 

Huzza! First Sox game!

[yeszir]

When will interleague end dammit!

Sunday, thank god. I have no real reason for this, but I hate it.

Its the unfamiliar names, the pitcher in the 9 spot, and the national TV broadcasts that get me.

[Jayhawk Bill]

I really, really like Interleague play. It demonstrates that the NL as a whole is somewhere between the AL and AAA, usually closer to AAA.

Let's call it the AAAL

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Speaking of Houston...they could be sellers come the trade deadline....Miguel Tejada would be a nice fit, unless we think Jed Lowrie should just take Lugo's spot.

[Cocos Disciples]

Isn't Migs getting paid an asburd amount of money right now? I'd rather stick Lowrie (or keep Lugo) at SS.

are you John Henry's financial advisor or something?

I turned the TV on at 7:05 and was like "AAAH WHERES THE GAME"

 

8:05 start time

[Cocos Disciples]

are you John Henry's financial advisor or something?

 

Well, Tejada's not worth it, that's all. We could spend that money on someone a whole lot better.

[CrespoBlows]

are you John Henry's financial advisor or something?

 

Giving Miguel Tejada $12 million dollars prevents the Red Sox from spending that $12 million dollars elsewhere.

 

Lowrie can match Tejada's production, and easily surpass his .327 OBP. Tejada is 34, his bat is declining, and he's getting worse in the field.

 

Pass.

[riverside sluggers]

Lugo has grounded into 11 double plays. For the entire 07 season, he grounded into just 9 of them

[CrespoBlows]

Wow. That was f***ing smoked.

[Cocos Disciples]

Boom. 3-0.

[YAZMAN]

Nice swing by JD.

[Cocos Disciples]

Break it open here.

[YAZMAN]

Break it open here.

 

Lugo's head?

[Cocos Disciples]

Not the worst of ideas...

[TheKilo]

That slider is boner inducing.

[TheKilo]

Hansen - Bringer of Awesome

[Cocos Disciples]

So instead of a Papelboner, it's a...Hansenboner? Craigboner?

[TheKilo]

Han-cock

[TheKilo]

LET HANSEN HIT

[CrespoBlows]

Pedro's cooked.
