7/17 @ Toronto - Buchholz Starting

[Dutchy]

Buchholz vs. Romero, a couple of 24 year old phenoms selected in the 1st round of the '05 draft. Should be a good game.

 

We have faced Romero once previously. He gave up 6 hits, 5 runs and 5 walks in 4 innings.

Excited about Buchholz starting tonight and FINALLY a baseball game. Let's get this 2nd half started the right way.

Sick Ellsbury scratched

Jacoby Ellsbury, feeling under the weather, was scratched from tonight's starting lineup. Rocco Baldelli will take his place and bat eighth against Toronto lefthanded starter Ricky Romero.

I am rooting for a shutout by Buchholz tonight and the acquisition of Halladay next week.

what a pussy :thumbdown

[Dutchy]

That's alright, Baldelli isn't really a downgrade at all with his .80O+ OPS.

I agree Dutchy, except for the loss of speed. I remember when Rocco had the same kind of speed as Ellsbury. What a shame.

[YanksHater213]

sox were -101 jays -109

 

lines have since moved to -105 a piece though, happy i did it when i did

[Spudboy]

I am so thankful to have a game to watch tonight. My 6 y.o. Daughter is here with me tonight. I exerted my Parental authority and exiled her to the bedroom to watch TV. This is great. No more Hannah Montana. Just the Sox in HD!

 

Gametime!

Great at bat Drew, a 3-2 leadoff walk.

"They've tried a few different leadoff hitters there: Julio Lugo, Rocco Baldelli..."

 

-Blue Jays announcers

 

I must have missed those seasons.

[Spudboy]

This could get confusing for an old fart like me. We have 2 Destroyahs in the house tonight!

[WhiskeyBreath]

Youk!

 

Great start

[Dutchy]

YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!

 

Good to see us get off on the right foot.

[Spudboy]

YOUK!!!!!!! 2-Zip!

[Dutchy]

Detroit's up a run already on the Yankees.

 

"Crazy Legs" Ortiz with the infield single!

[Dutchy]

Bay's gonna wish he took the Red Sox contract offer if he keeps hitting like this.

Baldelli and Lugo have both led off this year.

[Spudboy]

Bay's gonna wish he took the Red Sox contract offer if he keeps hitting like this.

 

I'm always saying this, but hitting is cyclic. He'll get back on track and finish up at about .280.

 

I f***ing hope so!

You're right, hitting is cyclic. He has a career .280 AVG I believe so chances are that's about where he'll end up.

[ms_sox]

Nice to see Lowell back. Rooting for Clay to do well.

[The_Destroyah]

clay got the 1st inning done well...

[Spudboy]

GREEN! Nice play. And an encouraging start by Buck. He did not get lit-up.

[ms_sox]

PS - I wish Lugo luck, but I will not miss him one iota.
