I'm off to the Disney Fantasy on Ice. I'll be pissed if I have to sit through a couple of hours of Cinderella on ice skates and then have to come home to a loss, so win.

[riverside sluggers]

Odd that Tito didnt keep Pedroia in the 4 hole with Youk still out

[The Dustball]

Lol, I'm liking the thread name. Hopefully Beckett can shake the rust off while still doing well enough to get a W.

[BoSox21]

I dont really get Kotsay in the cleanup spot but oh well. Good to see Deuce back, it would be GREAT to see Youk back

[Cocos Disciples]

Kinsler is out for the whole series (sports hernia, surgery, could be out for the year), by the way.

[Cocos Disciples]

So Beckett is going to be limited to around 60 pitches tonight. Pauley or Smith should see some action.

[Youk Of The Nation]

damn it when is youk foing to beback??

[Cocos Disciples]

I'd guess pretty soon.

[Youk Of The Nation]

[German_Sox]

[Cocos Disciples]

Can anyone tell me what happened to Marlon Byrd?

[Jasonbay44]

Nice way to come back for Lowell.

[das11209]

Becket tonight looks like Becket of 2007

[Cocos Disciples]

Mike Lowell looks like his 2007 self too, 3-0.

[Cocos Disciples]

Woot, 5-0.

[das11209]

Rangers suck.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice Coco and Lowell.

[Cocos Disciples]

Rays down to their last 3 outs, down 4-3. Bottom 8 right now.

[Youk Of The Nation]

wooa the guy is the player tobe namde later in the arod traed!

[Cocos Disciples]

Isn't it a bit early for the official scorers to avoid a no-hitter?

[Cocos Disciples]

6-3 Jays in the 8th...

[Cocos Disciples]

63 pitches for Beckett, he might be done.
