5/10 vs. Toronto

[Lester82]

I think it's funny how Burnett owned us with Toronto but since joining the Yankees we've absolutely destroyed him.

 

Probably not too funny to his teammates, but yes all the more funny to us.

 

Hells yea!

[TedWilliams101]

Good Job by our bullpen tonight! They won this game for us

 

Heck yeah, no runs, no hits, just 1 walk over 3 innings. Aside from a few bumps here and there, the pen looks like it's coming together nicely. Just need to stay away from Schoensuck...

[Lester82]

You can't make this stuff up, except usually Beckett has had this happen the last 2 years coming into the playoffs:

@alexspeier: Beckett tweaked his back tonight during batting practice.

Why is Wakefield starting on Wednesday?

[msubulldogs21]

Why is Wakefield starting on Wednesday?

 

Pushed Beckett back to Friday @ Detroit. I'm guessing they just want to give him a few extra days off to clear his head. That, and the fact that Toronto hammers him like no other.

[Lester82]

plus he's now tweaked his back

[Lester82]

@AmalieBenjamin: Pitchers were taking BP today with interleague coming up.

The Coco mojo rolls on, 5-1.

[suns]

Your mojo?

[italstallianion]

From him going to the games, not from him making the game threads. Your mojo is still in tact Suns.

[TedWilliams101]

Wow, that's probably a blessing in disguise. Beckett needs the extra time to get his s*** together.

 

On another note, 24 is AMAZING! This season's finale could be the best ever.

[Lester82]

Amazingly, Jon Lester, Buchholz and Matsuzaka all took batting practice and made it out without tweaking anything. It's either one thing or another with Josh... not that Daisuke has been the picture of health, either.

[Chamomile]

The back end of our bullpen is starting to look like a strength.

 

Papelbon - 1.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 22 straight save opportunities converted

Bard - 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 11 strikeouts per 9 innings

Delcarmen - 2.30 ERA, 1.02 WHIP

 

Delcarmen's BABIP is unsustainably low, but Okajima's BABIP is unsustainably high. Between the two of them we should be able to find a serviceable 7th inning guy.

Suns mojo, baby!

[YeAuldBroade]

Yeah but at least Beckett doesn't have Vertigo.

 

And Burnett's our bitch.

[Dipre]

Yeah but at least Beckett doesn't have Vertigo.

Yeah but at least Drew isnt absolutely sucking ass this year......

[YeAuldBroade]

Yeah but at least Drew isnt absolutely sucking ass this year......

Yes he is. A couple good weeks do not make it a non-suck ass year and he's a pantywaist. Vertigo? Seriously? That's an old lady's fake ailment from the 1800's "oh my these Vapors are giving me Vertigo"... along with Southern drawl and flapping of the pink fan.

and a sandy vagina. That's the most important part.

[redsoxrules]

If he's sucking, then Ortiz is realy f***ing awfull , and everybody else on the team not named Pedroia or Youk are also awfull

[YeAuldBroade]

Yeah, K. He's a real jewel.

 

Sorry Nancy drives me nuts and all the numbers in the world aren't going to change my mind, especially since they're always selective stats that some here deem more important than the ones that show he's consistently sucking. He had a hot couple of weeks but he'll go back to his typical level of suckosity soon.

 

But I will admit he plays well for someone with the Vapors causing Vertigo and sand in his Vagina.

[rhet]

When I think vertigo, I think Nick Esasky.

 

Did we put a vertigo clause in Drew's contract?

[italstallianion]

Yeah, K. He's a real jewel.

Finally you mentioned the sand in his vagina.

You are awesome

[a700hitter]

If he's sucking' date=' then Ortiz is realy f***ing awfull , and everybody else on the team not named Pedroia or Youk are also awfull[/quote']But at least none of the others ask out of the lineup. I knew with our limited OF bench that he would get some sort of malady after a couple of weeks and he would ask to sit. Yaz would ask to be disconnected from traction for his back to play. Today's players, epitomized by Drew, turn my guts to stew.
