[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Giggity.

 

Lester (2-3, 6.31) vs. Jakubauskas (1-4, 7.67)

[Cocos Disciples]

Good idea to win.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Good idea to win.

That would be helpful, yes.

[BoSox21]

sort of a homecoming for Lester, he'd better be up for the game

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

sort of a homecoming for Lester' date=' he'd better be up for the game[/quote']

Career (3 starts) he's 1-0 with a 4.7 ERA. He's done better against other teams.

has anyone seen tonight's sox/mariner lineup? I couldn't find it on boston.com. I have heard ortiz is not in the lineup.

lineup is usually only announced 2 hours prior to game time

He's from Tacoma though, hence the homecoming.

[MANNYHOF24]

We better win tonight. Lester better turn it around. Other than Ortiz, Lester and Beckett sucking has been the biggest disappointment this year.

[Cocos Disciples]

Um.... I know?

 

Phenomenal, I wasn't sure.

[chakes17]

red sox lineup tonight is ugly.

[redsoxrules]

red sox lineup tonight is ugly.

 

how so ?

[Spudboy]

red sox lineup tonight is ugly.

 

Not really. Other than Bailey and Tek, everybody is on an upswing.

 

After further thought, sure would be nice if Youk was in the lineup. Since he can't be, and the starter for Seattle may be a stiff, this is a best case lineup.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

No Ortiz = epic win.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I never thought I would one day be sitting here thinking 'I am so glad Ortiz isn't playing'.

 

It still feels bizarre even after two months to not want him in the 3-spot.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I AM PSYCHED.

 

I just got an e-mail from Ami's father...they have some family in the Minneapolis area, and his company gives out Sox tickets every year. For my birthday, he's bringing me with him and his friend to the Toronto games at Fenway on the 20-21, then all three Fenway games vs. the Mets, and then flying me with him and her mother to their family visit in Minny and we're going to ALL FOUR GAMES.

 

This means I will be going to nine, count 'em, NINE CONSECUTIVE RED SOX GAMES, FIVE of them at FENWAY f***ING PARK. The best part is I don't even feel guilty because he got all the Fenway games for free and the Minny games were cheap.

 

I am wicked super amazingly awesomely wicked blindingly excited.

Wow! Good people take care of good people. You are very fortunate to be with them. Enjoy the hell out of the experience. You can take time of from your job, can't you?

 

Ha ha! Go anyway!!!

 

On a selfish note: Does this mean that we won't have your contribution on the board for nine games? That will suck. Have fun!

[Cocos Disciples]

Enjoy the games YOTN, that's awesome. You deserve it.

 

This is a game we should win. I'm just worried about the reverse lock.

Pardon my naivete (sp), but what is reverse lock? Do you mean that the Sox SHOULD win, but won't?

[Spudboy]

I'll assume we have Pasta Mojo in force tonight.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Unfortunately, no. I can't make pasta for ten PM games on work nights because I leave at 1030.

I already had the vacation from work, I wasn't planning anything.

 

And yes, I won't be here. Try not to miss me too much!

[Spudboy]

That's what I'm talking about Ells!

[BoSox21]

congrats YOTN

 

nice start by Ells

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Reverse lock is a paradox, and they don't exist. Its either a lock for one team or the other.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good start for Ells.

Yeah it's when on paper it looks like a Sox win, but the forces of evil come out on top.
