I think he's gotten to the O'Neill point of popularity with the Yankee fans.

So my 8G was supposed to arrive at my selected Wal-Mart store today, and I just got the e-mail that it is 'now shipping'.

 

 

Dirtbags.

[Cocos Disciples]

Sometimes humanity sucks, by the way. Today someone at my school got robbed while she was in her social worker's office. I was near the office waiting, and apparently there were like three people watching some ******* rob her blind. f***ing dicks.

 

Just needed to vent a little.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

What'd she do, leave her purse out in the open or something?

[Cocos Disciples]

I guess, but I think the door was closed.

[a700hitter]

Have the Red Sox or Yankees ever started a season series at 7-0?

[BoSox21]

for the Sox, the best start vs. the Yankees in a season series was back in 1912 at 6-0

 

not sure about the Yankees though

Wow! 1912

If the Yankees lose tonight, we won't see Gom for weeks. Jacko will be limited and meek in his appearances. The rest of the losers will disappear completely and only come back if there is an opportunity to be completely vicious. I don't see the Sox pulling off the sweep, so unfortunately, we will not rid ourselves of this vermin.

[BoSox21]

I'd be shocked if we won with our 5th starter against their ace.

Someone stole a 12 yr old girls wallet at my daughters theater workshop last weekend.

It had to be an adult associated with the production as all the kids were accounted for and the doors were locked from the inside...Nice society we live in,very proud of humanity when this s*** goes down.

The sox are a big dog tonight

Anyone else think that 9 1/2 runs is easily attained this evening?

It isnt hitters weather but we hit sabby and penny is facing his hardest assignment yet with NY being powerful as well as patient...

[Mr Crunchy]

Jacko will be here, he will be talking about their new draft picks and 5 tool superstars and dominant high school talent but he wont hide like some of the others do.

The boy is too much in love with the game and our company to stay away.

I'll be here, but I am on call. So if I get any calls, then I'm out.

[Cocos Disciples]

And if it happens to be when the Sox load the bases, you're a terrible fan!

Ellsbury possible tonight, certain tomorrow

 

Posted by Julian Benbow, Globe Staff June 11, 2009 05:24 PM

 

Hours before the Sox wrap up their midweek series with the Yankees, Red Sox manager Terry Francona updated the statuses of centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, shortstop Jed Lowrie and closer Jonathan Papelbon.

 

Ellsbury is out of the lineup for the third straight game since straining his shoulder Sunday diving for a ball in center.

 

He had targeted Friday for his return, but depending on how Ellsbury feels taking batting practice this afternoon, Francona said he would see about the center fielder’s availability for tonight’s game against the Yankees. The most likely scenario would have him holding Ellsbury until tomorrow.

 

“The easy thing is to think about maybe using his legs later,” Francona said of the possibility of using Ellsbury in a pinch situation. “But if we get him in a situation where he dives and he goes backwards, that’s not the ideal. So we’ll see. He is getting better though. He should play tomorrow.”

 

The plan for Lowrie, working his way back from his wrist injury, will have him travel with the big-league team this weekend to Philadelphia, then go join the Lowell Spinners on Monday and Tuesday, where he’ll get some live at-bats. Francona said Lowrie could take Wednesday while the team re-evaluated where to go from there.

 

The options at that point would be to send Lowrie to Florida or to Pawtucket, Francona said, “but it’s all going to depend on how he feels.”

 

“We’re trying to get him like a ramp to the games, and this’ll work,” Francona said. “He’s ok with it, which is important, and I think it will help him.”

 

Francona didn’t want to think about the potential for a logjam at shortstop with Julio Lugo, Nick Green, and Lowrie, saying that now wasn’t the best time to make a decision about his lineup in July.

 

After fighting off dehydration and fatigue from food poising to pitch a clean ninth inning and save the Sox’s 6-5 win last night, Francona said Papelbon was feeling much better.

 

At one point, the Sox were considering sending him to the hospital, but Francona said, “He felt a lot better last night. I think he was a little weak. I didn’t look like it the way he threw the ball.

 

“There was some apprehension on our part to bring him in in the eighth although we’d have done it. It’s amazing how that apprehension will go away with Teixeira coming to the plate. He was just a little weak. He needed to stay hydrated.”

 

Sox to sit down with Smoltz

[ms_sox]

Penny vs Sabathia....hmm....well, I'll still hope for the win, because I like it when our guys are happy.

So cute.

Probably won't be around much...I need a break from the internets.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good stuff. I'm not a huge Ellsbury fan, but it's still nice to have him back soon.

[ms_sox]

Wait a minute, how did I get up to 560+ posts? I hardly ever post outside of the GT's...amazing how 13.4 posts a day adds up.

[Spudboy]

I'd be shocked if we won with our 5th starter against their ace.

 

I wouldn't be shocked. Penny has looked pretty good. And I think he may be a little more than motivated tonight. Sabathia is not superman. Light him up!

[Cocos Disciples]

I wouldn't say shocked, but it seems unlikely.

I hope he is here tonight. He ads dimension to the game. I can take his homer attitude because he is into the game. What's wrong with that? He gets it back multi-fold.

 

And by the way, he did a really good job providing members of talksox with meaningful input on the draft.

He's a smart guy, but he's also fun to rag on. I don't think anyone (besides maybe Gom) legitimately thinks he's a bad poster.
