Are you serious? I know we can edit other people's quotes within the thread and their original quote stays as is, didn't know anyone could just change the name of a thread. I don't think it was a"mediocrity at its best" game and it looks like I do. Don't need anyone else changing my thread titles to represent their opinion.

[Cocos Disciples]

I was referring to the GT itself, not the game. It was a joke.

[Dojji]

Ya well when you edit someone's title to reflect your opinion, it's about the same as editing the content of their post to express your opinion. It's in pretty bad form IMHO.

Hope you are doing well and yes, I miss billyboy too!

I don't really see how the title of a game thread reflects someone's opinion. They're edited all the time to reflect what happens in the game or GT.

 

Did nobody really notice this when it happens all the time? This is the first I've heard of this being any sort of problem.

 

VA Sox Fan, if you felt that the edit put words in your mouth that you didn't want, I'm sorry. Again, it's gone.

are ya'll serious? It was a joke, he didnt do it to change YOUR title he did it to change THE title

OH!! Now I get it. See I'm old and slow sometimes.

 

I probably won't have to start another one all season after tonight anyway, you messed with my mojo;) We will need cool GT's from here on out, not mediocre ones! :thumbsup:

Clearly we're winning tonight.

It's a joke that circulated around the GT.

 

Crespo's been saying the last couple days that Jacoby's a mediocre center field, then he comes and puts on a show, and everyone was giving Crespo s*** for the "mediocre" Jacoby.

How Jacoby Ellsbury saved the game

 

Posted by Adam Kilgore, Globe Staff September 2, 2009 02:40 AM

 

The play Jacoby Ellsbury made last night in the eighth inning required a daring and athleticism few players in the game possess. With the bases loaded and out one, with the Sox leading 7-4, Jason Bartlett lined a ball to centerfield. Ellsbury thought he read the line drive well. “I knew I could make it off the bat,” he said.

 

He decided immediately he could catch the ball, and he was going to try even though he knew the consequences of being wrong.

 

“That’s one of those plays where you have to catch it,” Ellsbury said. “If it gets by me, it’s probably an inside-the-park home run. At best, a triple. It’s one of those plays where you have to make it.”

 

Had the ball trickled by him, the Sox may have lost the lead in a game they seemingly had locked up. Ellsbury charged forward and dove feet-first when he reached the ball.

 

As he slid, Ellsbury tried to put himself in position to hop to his feet and throw toward the infield, in case Pat Burrell was tagging at third base. (He was not.) Ellsbury snagged the ball in the heel of his glove and, in one motion, popped up and fired the ball back toward the infield.

 

“If I miss it, I probably run off the field,” Ellsbury said. “I had confidence that I was going to come up with the ball.”

 

The play a full and obvious display of Ellsbury’s skill and his bravado. More subtle, though, was his burgeoning maturity as an outfielder. Ellsbury used his athleticism and guts to make the play, but it never would have happened without proper positioning.

 

Before the at-bat began, Ellsbury moved two steps in from where he normally plays. Bartlett has some pop in his bat, but Ellsbury relies more on simply the batter to determine where he starts. With Jonathan Papelbon pitching, he knew Bartlett was unlikely to hit the ball over his head.

 

“That kind of comes from knowing the situation, who’s hitting, knowing that it’s not likely he’s going to beat you deep with Pap pitching,” outfield coach DeMarlo Hale said. “You play the situation like that. If it’s a different hitter, he has some power, you move back by a couple steps.

 

“He knows. But there’s a reminder, either from me or Tito. Usually, we try to play the situation based on who’s pitching.”

 

When Bartlett fouled off a 2-1 pitch and got two strikes, Ellsbury knew Bartlett’s swing was likely to get more defensive. He moved in another two steps.

 

Earlier in the game, Ellsbury had made a highlight-reel grab, laying out to rob Burrell of what seemed to be a ball destined for the gap. He sprinted in and then to his right, toward leftfield. He closed on the ball with staggering speed and stretched out to cover an impossible amount ground in an instant; “Go-Go Gadget Arm,” Ellsbury said.

 

He proved he had the requisite physical ability to make any play. But in the eighth inning, with the game in the balance, the extra two steps he had moved in before the pitch made all the difference in the play, which may have made all the difference in the game.

 

“Absolutely,” Hale said. “Absolutely.”

Maybe we should trade for Michael Bourn if the fetish for speed runs that deeply on this website.
