Dear Red Sox,

 

Today happens to be my birthday. I would appreciate a win. So would talksox. That is all.

Matchup: Jered Weaver vs Tim Wakefield

Game time: 10:05 EST

TV: NESN

 

Hopefully Wake can go out there and give a solid performance and Kottaras will be able to handle the knuckleball. We've played lousy at Anaheim the last couple regular season trips out there so it'd be nice to get the series off to a good start with a win tonight. I kind of wish we didn't have to play the Angels following the whole Adenhart thing though. That is going to be sad/weird.

 

Go Sox.

Hopefully they can play a little better today and put some runs up earlier in the game.

All aboard an MSU win streak, let's go.

[Cocos Disciples]

Weaver against the Sox: 1-2, 5.35 ERA, 27 K, 9 BB, 1.49 WHIP, .813 OPS.

 

And is he really 6'7"?

Hey, it worked in the SEC Tourney. Maybe some of that magic will rub off.

[msubulldogs21]

And is he really 6'7"?

 

I actually think he is. When you see him stand up in the dugout next to good sized teammates like Vlad and Juan Rivera you can tell he's a big guy. Really long legs.

[yeszir]

Win please

[Death]

I hope we win, I am going to stay up to watch all of it.

[jacksonianmarch]

Should be a good game. I actually have a night off to watch it.

[Cocos Disciples]

Woot, Kottaras' first MLB start.

[Redguitar985]

I forgot Bobby Abreu was with the Angels now. I wonder how he'll do this year.

[jacksonianmarch]

My guess is that he will have an abysmal start to the yr, finish on fire, flub in the playoffs and end up with a decent line.

On what do you base this prediction?

 

[Cocos Disciples]

Alternate blues are interesting.

[Cocos Disciples]

So according to Sean MacAdam, the Angels are in the NL West and are in the same division as the Tigers. Cool.

[MANNYHOF24]

2 out walks are killer.

[Cocos Disciples]

First passed ball for Kottaras...

[MANNYHOF24]

Wake has lost the zone after looking great to the first 2 batters.

[MANNYHOF24]

Wow, could you self destruct anymore here?

[Cocos Disciples]

Just need one more strike to avoid a very bad beginning.

[a700hitter]

Get out the antacids. I am all for putting Wakefield out to pasture when Smoltz can pitch.

[Death]

leaving them loaded, I hope that doesn't happen again.

[Cocos Disciples]

Get out the antacids. I am all for putting Wakefield out to pasture when Smoltz can pitch.

 

While he escaped the inning, I feel the same way. By June I would love a rotation of:

 

Beckett

Lester

Matsuzaka

Smoltz

Buchholz

It's only a matter of time that the Angels have a big inning against Wakefield.

[MANNYHOF24]

Gotta love the 3.00 whip.

Unless Wake implodes probably not gonna happen.

[Cocos Disciples]

Youk continues his epic first week, even if it was a bloop.

[MANNYHOF24]

JD needs to get the f***ing bat off his shoulders.
