Smoltz v. Guthrie

 

Just win, or something

[msubulldogs21]

This is it, IMO. Smoltz needs to pitch well or GTFO.

[Cocos Disciples]

Win or don't!

[Dipre]

If Smoltz gets hammered tonight, i'll recruit ms_sox to go hit his leg with a bat.

I've made this offer before. I'll pick her up at Logan.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'll bring the camera.

[Soxfan1]

Last chance for Smoltz.

[suns]

Does v-mart play tonight?

[suns]

There was suppose to be a bobblehead night for v-mart tomorrow night in cleveland. The rumor is that the bobbleheads will be shipped to boston for tomorrow.

1) The Red Sox are in Baltimore

 

2) I don't think the Red Sox have ever had a bobblehead night in the history of the franchise. It's an unnecessary gimmick to draw fans.

No

[Death]

I'm not sure. The weather looks bad. We may get 5 innings.

That's about Smoltz' limit.

And I don't think Sox fans would want a Martinez bobblehead in an Guardians uni.

The sun is out and the tarp has been removed from the infield here at Camden Yards. Despite the afternoon rains, it seems baseball will be played here tonight.

The Red Sox lineup's gain is apparently Cleveland bobblehead collectors' loss

Drew out with groin strain

 

Posted by Adam Kilgore, Globe Staff July 31, 2009 06:25 PM

 

J.D. Drew will miss tonight’s game with a slight groin strain, the injury that forced him out of last night’s game when he felt a twinge while he running to second on a double. Drew, 11 for 25 during his seven-game hitting streak, thinks the injury will keep him out for 24 to 48 hours, and he’s not certain yet if he will play tomorrow.

 

“I feel like I’m swinging the bat where I don’t want to miss any time at all,” Drew said. “But that being said, I’ve got to be smart about it. If I get on base tonight and had to go first to third or something, it a very good chance I could mess it up pretty bad. I think in a couple days it should respond pretty well.”

Sox make roster moves

 

Posted by Adam Kilgore, Globe Staff July 31, 2009 06:20 PM

 

The Red Sox made a few temporary roster moves, likely for tonight's game only, to replace Justin Masterson and Adam LaRoche. Pawtucket righthanded reliever Marcus McBeth and Double A Portland outfielder Josh Reddick will be available tonight.

 

McBeth has compiled a 2.28 ERA and held opponents to a .176 batting average. Reddick, a breakout hitter during spring training, is batting .277 with a .520 slugging percentage and 13 home runs. At 22, Reddick will become the youngest player to wear a Red Sox major league uniform this season straight from Double A.

 

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Sox placed Daisuke Matsuazaka on the 60-day disabled list and designated Travis Denker designated for assignment.

Luckily, we have plenty of OF depth. Who comes in for Baldelli when he tires after the 6th inning?

[redsoxrules]

... and here comes the JD haters...3...2...1

[Dipre]

Typical.

 

Sir, have you ever strained a groin?
