2009 Spring Training

[Keeper]

Huh? "Dece"...does that mean decent?

 

Not breaking your balls, I am just curious.

 

See I'm not down wit dat lingo, yo, although I do know that Pedroia is fukkin dank.

 

Yeah, decent. It's just a stupid thing I picked up from an old girlfriend.

[rician blast]

Yeah' date=' decent. It's just a stupid thing I picked up from an old girlfriend.[/quote']

 

Hopefully that's all you "picked up" from her.

 

Just kidding.

[Keeper]

:shock:

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I love how easily discussions here can move from Josh Bard's uniform number to a heated Graff/Loretta debate.

[BSN07]

That story about Pedroia is hilarious:lol:

[BoSox21]

Not really ST-related but not worthy to start it's own thread either but im listening to Smoltzy with D&C on EEI and wow, talk about a player who's gonna make a fantastic TV personality when he retires

[BSN07]

He will be in the booth/ on set or on the Senior PGA tour.

[BoSox21]

It's almost like having another pitching coach on the team

[TheKilo]

I can respect your opinion but I think you're in the minority. Anyone else think the Sox should've kept Graffanino over signing Loretta?

 

*Raises hand*

[rician blast]

Graffanino or Loretta?

 

Kind of like debating whether to jerk off lefty or righty...either way you're getting it done, but it ain't anywhere close to the real thing.

Couldn't have put it better myself

Tomorrow's lineups and pitchers

 

Posted by David Lefort, Boston.com Staff February 24, 2009 11:34 AM

 

The Red Sox play their first games of the spring season tomorrow, opening with a 1:05 p.m. contest against Boston College at City of Palms Park and capping the day with a 7:05 p.m. game against the Twins at nearby Hammond Stadium.

 

Below are the probable lineups and scheduled pitchers.

 

Red Sox vs. BC (1:05 p.m.)

1. Julio Lugo, SS

2. Rocco Baldelli, LF

3. David Ortiz, DH

4. J.D. Drew, RF

5. Chris Carter, 1B

6. George Kottaras, C

7. Jonathan Van Every, CF

8. Nick Green, 2B

9. Angel Chavez, 3B

 

Scheduled pitchers: Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Kris Johnson, Junichi Tazawa, Felix Doubront and Daniel Bard

Why Jason Varitek is not in the starting lineup for either game tomorrow. ("We didn't want to catch him back-to-back on the first two days," said Francona.)

 

 

I am SO PSYCHED!!!! Don't have NESN, watching the 2nd game at a local sports bar with a few other Sox fans!!!! :thumbsup:

[Cocos Disciples]

Looking forward to seeing: Buchholz, Tazawa, Bard, Ramirez, Kottaras and Wilkerson.

[VA Sox Fan]

The 7:05 game is also going to be on the MLB network for those who don't have NESN.

[BoSox21]

I'm glad I got my MLB.TV subscription over the weekend for this

[BSN07]

If I'm not mistaken, I think if you had a subscription to mlbtv last season, they usually let you watch spring training. They did last season. I guess I better go see before the game starts

[BoSox21]

either way, ill need it for this entire season anyway since the only time they show the Sox here is if they're playing the Jays or the Jays aren't playing

[BSN07]

Since I got MLBTV I have been very happy with it. I watch far more games now then I ever did before. And I never have to worry about blackouts either.

[BoSox21]

you mean Amsterdam doesn't have a team?

[italstallianion]

I'm still trying to get the Sox here in England...I'll figure it out eventually...

[soxfan17881]

I'm sorry but I just can't look at this and not giggle.

 

Fu-Man-Youk!

[BSN07]

I found it funny when one of the guys on the broadcast called him " The Youk-ah"

[Dojji]

Plenty of our pitchers gave us good news today -- Lester, Saito, Oki, Jones and Littleton all strong. Lentz and James combined for a lil hiccup towards the end there but we're not really counting on either of them so ho hum,.

 

Great to see our pitching off to a fine start.

[BSN07]

you mean Amsterdam doesn't have a team?

 

I know weird huh?

 

I know you where just poking fun, but I was mostly referring it to our members who live abroad.

 

 

But we do have baseball here LOL I know I have to make one trip to Amsterdam during the season, so there's at least 1 Baseball team there. And most clubs have multiple teams depending on how many classes there in. I was actually surprised to see the number of adult baseball leagues here. Although of course none of them are Major league teams;)

[RedSoxRooter]

So is Adam Mills the son of Brad Mills? I thought the Sox signed some sons of management a couple of years ago. I always thought of it as payback for championships.

[Cocos Disciples]

Isn't Beau Mills the son of Brad Mills?

[Dipre]

Isn't Beau Mills the son of Brad Mills?

 

Indeed, and he was selected by the Guardians, i have no idea if Adam is somehow related to Brad.
