[TheKilo]

Adam Jones is a good player.

[Cocos Disciples]

The HR issues continue...

[TheKilo]

7 good pitches, one s***** one.

[TheKilo]

No reason not to score 8+ off Olson tonight

[Cocos Disciples]

Olson has some pretty s***** numbers. Kill him.

[Cocos Disciples]

Not even close in that AB.

[TheKilo]

Jed Lowrie does something good right here.

[Cocos Disciples]

NESN just showed: 13.06 ERA in his last 3 starts.

[TheKilo]

Annoying.

[Cocos Disciples]

We really should have gotten something there, but I get the feeling we'll have plenty more chances.

[Cocos Disciples]

I thoroughly enjoy double plays.

[TheKilo]

17 pitches for Byrd through 2.

[TheKilo]

One batter too late.

[Cocos Disciples]

Woohoo Tek

[Cocos Disciples]

LOLOLOLOL at Olson giving up HR's to Varitek and Bailey. 2-1!

[TheKilo]

LOL BAT JED 8TH

[TheKilo]

Beautiful swing there from Bailey

[CrespoBlows]

Please bat right handed, Varitek.

[Cocos Disciples]

I wasn't watching carefully-was that Dan Duquette they just showed?

[TheKilo]

Juan Castro?

[Cocos Disciples]

Bah, sometimes home runs do in fact suck.

[TheKilo]

At least they are solo shots.

[Cocos Disciples]

True fact.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good inning for Byrd.

[Cocos Disciples]

What a terribly easy trivia question. Hideo Nomo.

[Cocos Disciples]

51 pitches through 5 innings, 8 in a row retired. Awesome.

[TheKilo]

Byrd pitching fantastic.

[TheKilo]

Ellsbury back to sucking.
