4/14 @ Oakland

[Dipre]

Well what do you know......1-2-3 inning, they were Mastersowned.

[diony]

Give the dude $200M and the Yankees give him $220M. Give him $220M the Yanks give him $250M. Einsteinbrenner had decided not to be outbid on Teixeira. That's a matter of record by the way.

 

Besides, Ortiz would be in the lineup whether or not we had Teixeira. That is also a matter of record.

 

That's just speculation.

[Dojji]

That wasnt my point. My point is that this lineup needs a power bat. If Ortiz can be Ortiz it would have been nice to have Tex.

 

Sure it would, but Teix doesn't replace Ortiz, that's the point to be considered. If Ortiz sucks it disrupts the entire lineup whether Teixeira is there or not.

[TheKilo]

That's just speculation.

 

Yup, pretty weak cop out that is positioned as fact by a lot of Sox fans.

If Ortiz sucks he goes to the bench.

[Dojji]

ANy chance we could just leave Masterson in the rotation?

[Dojji]

If Ortiz sucks he goes to the bench.

 

Yeah, benching Ortiz is really going to happen this year.

 

Seriously, he'd have to be hitting .240 with 5 or fewer HR's by July for that to be a real possibility.

[TheKilo]

Holy f*** what a shitshow.

[TheKilo]

Yeah, benching Ortiz is really going to happen this year.

 

Seriously, he'd have to be hitting .240 with 5 or fewer HR's by July for that to be a real possibility.

 

It's looking like it's a real possibility.

 

That was a trap.

[yeszir]

DAMMIT

[Cocos Disciples]

Pile it on...

[yeszir]

That's why you slide back into first there

[Cocos Disciples]

Great, it was a hit. This literally could not be worse.

[WhiskeyBreath]

There we go Bay,.

[Dojji]

Wow, Drew, that was awful.

[MANNYHOF24]

Lowell goes yard here.

[diony]

Yeah, benching Ortiz is really going to happen this year.

 

Seriously, he'd have to be hitting .240 with 5 or fewer HR's by July for that to be a real possibility.

 

If Tex was on your lineup, as you were pointing out. It could be a possibility. Either Ortiz or Lowell.

[Cocos Disciples]

Nice, tie game.

 

Oh, wait.

[yeszir]

Well that makes that stupid play hurt even more now. Minor consolation seeing him eat grass there.

[TheKilo]

So yeah, the blown call results in a loss of two runs.

 

Fantastic.

[TheKilo]

Wow' date=' Drew, that was awful.[/quote']

 

What the f*** are you talking about?

[rhet]

If David Ortiz can't hit 25-30 homeruns this offense is not going to get it done. How much do you think the FO is kicking them selves for not dishing out and extra 10 million for Tex?

 

Tex was never coming here. He and the wife had NY teed up on day one.

[MANNYHOF24]

Question: Am I allowed to make gamethreads anymore? I mean maybe some Good ol' Manny mojo will wake up the dormant monster inside of Ortiz.

[MANNYHOF24]

Tex was never coming here. He and the wife had NY teed up on day one.

 

You can tell yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night.

[TheKilo]

Tex was never coming here. He and the wife had NY teed up on day one.

 

Cop out

[Dojji]

Cop out

 

Repeat that as many times as you need to to make yourself feel better.

 

Fantastic inning by Masterson.

[TheKilo]

Justin Masterson is a real man.

[TheKilo]

Repeat that as many times as you need to to make yourself feel better.

 

Fantastic inning by Masterson.

 

Keep talking about how much of a steed Lowell is and how Lars Anderson is going to be a 20 time all star.

[Dojji]

Because any of that crap helps you make your point.

[Dojji]
