5/5 Vs Anaheim.

[Jasonbay44]

Its good to hear that there is at least a chance he'll play this weekend, hopefully he'll be back sometime next week.

[MNSoxChief102]

It looks like Ellsbury's going to be back sooner rather than later. According to Will Carroll, it's possible, though unlikely, that he'll play this weekend against the Yankees.

 

 

Sweet. That would be awesome if he can get back in by this weekend. Ells makes our lineup that much better IMO

I really can't get excited about a report that says "possible but unlikely". I have a lot of trouble getting by the "unlikely" part. Scott Boras is no doubt ecstatic about the Red Sox recent troubles. Ellsbury's market value has gone up with each loss.

[YeAuldBroade]

Channeling Dipre's good mojo as game time gets close.

[Jasonbay44]

Why does Ortiz keep hitting before Beltre?

[YeAuldBroade]

Maybe because Beltre's hitting well above .300 and they're hoping he'll pick up what Ortiz couldn't accomplish.?? I don't know.

[transcam21]

I got my tequila in the fridge and the nachos in the oven for Cinco de Mayo. Nachos for for the grub and the tequila for the inevitable Papi disappointment

[Palodios]

Why does Ortiz keep hitting before Beltre?

 

Better question, why is Ortiz still starting? Keep him on the bench, send him to AAA or drop him. It was one thing when he's an instant out, but when he's an instant double play he's too big of a liability to the team.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm getting some nice flashbacks from this opening ceremony for Nomar

[Jasonbay44]

Better question' date=' why is Ortiz still starting? Keep him on the bench, send him to AAA or drop him. It was one thing when he's an instant out, but when he's an instant double play he's too big of a liability to the team.[/quote']

 

I agree, but if he HAS to be in the lineup, at least bat Beltre in front of him.

[transcam21]

Good start John...

[SCM33]

NICE

[Jasonbay44]

Great first inning by Lackey

[transcam21]

He's got some early swagger workin

[Palodios]

Pineiro has had a rough season. Hopefully he'll have a rough night tonite.

[Palodios]

Lackey leaving 'em loaded! Nice strikeout.

[transcam21]

Hey Hey! A Papi base-hit sighting!

[Jasonbay44]

Brandon Wood is pretty awesome. Strikes out with bases loaded then makes error for run to score.

[ORS]

Two LIDP.

 

You can't make this s*** up.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice inning by Lackey, nice to see a lot of ground ball outs.

[Jasonbay44]

What the....

[italstallianion]

I like it when you call me Big Papi.

[ORS]

Gameday is broken again.

[transcam21]

What is happening to Ortiz???

[redsoxrules]

the question is , can he keep it up or will he be back to sucking for the next 3 games....

[SoxSport]

Last year the only reason why the Sox kept giving Ortiz ABs' date=' was because there was no guys to back him up. Lowell is too good to be kept on the bench as Ortiz kills rallies[/quote']

 

Makes it seem as though winning isn't the priority, does it. That is damaging to team morale and to the fans.

[Palodios]

Perhaps Ortiz has found a loop hole in the drug testing policy where he can only take roids after the season has started?

[Jasonbay44]

Beltre sucks defensively
