My roommate moved the TV out of the room, so I don't know if I'll be watching anything tonight.

Well its his TV and he's done. I'm done on Wednesday, so I only have to live like this for three more days.

 

If anyone was wondering why my activity has spiked, that's the reason - my free time that would normally go towards TV/video games is now devoted to the internetz.

Yeah I'll likely end up gamecasting, much as I hate that s***. Atdhe's streams are awful.

Reports down here are that Hughes is starting for the yankees tonight. Rain is forecast all day and night, so it is questionable whether they play tonight.

[BoSox21]

I wouldnt mind a rainout. Lets the bullpen rest and lets me watch...

Yay Nick Green...

[TheKilo]

Totally winning tonight, Nick Green goes 2-4 with an RBI

Johnny Damon's pretty stupid:

 

“I couldn’t believe that they were letting him walk and try to find a team,” said Damon. “That’s the difference between New York and Boston. … If you’re a part of New York, they’re going to keep you there: (Jorge) Posada, (Derek) Jeter, Mariano (Rivera), it’s the first time in history guys have been on the same team for 15 years.

 

“It goes to show you something about how the Yankees think, and how many Yankees players have been exclusive with one team. They keep them forever,” Damon continued. “(The Red Sox) were ready to let (Varitek) go. He’s their starting catcher. That’s how the two teams work. You know his days are going to be numbered here. But hopefully not -- he deserves to be here until his career is over.”

Are there any bars/restaurants near you?

Are there any bars/restaurants near you?

Probably in town somewhere. But my license is gone till July so I'm kinda marooned on campus unless I can find a ride. (yes I know my life sucks)

[rician blast]

From the article:

"For the sake of perspective, it is worth mentioning a couple of facts related to that negotiation. The Sox made clear at the time that their four-year, $40 million offer (which represented a raise from the four-year, $32 million deal that Damon was concluding) was sincere.

 

However, they felt that it was important to set and establish a value for a player who would be in his mid-30s for the life of a four-year deal. Boston was willing to nudge its bid upward towards $11 million a season, but refused to be drawn into a bidding war.

 

Even in the final hours before news of Damon’s signing with the Yankees broke, agent Scott Boras was calling the Sox to insist that he had a six-year, $72 million offer in hand. That being the case, though the Sox were unsurprised to learn that Damon had turned down their offer and signed with the Yankees (who had both a need and money), they were stunned to learn that he took a four-year, $52 million deal."

 

Very good points...unfortunately, points that the Johnny "cro-magnon" Damon couldn't possibly understand when he tries to compare NY to Boston.

Excellent question!

[TedWilliams101]

Does Tek and the pitch staff need to make serious adjustments to keep people from stealing bases? I'm not sure just how much stock to put into this, but the Sox lead the majors having given up 34 stolen bases in 42 attempts.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Let less people on base.

[TheKilo]

Varitek's never been good at throwing runners out.
