I'm going to go with usual Dice-k prediction on this one.

 

One of these two teams will win the game.

Let's hope that Dice-K continues to pitch as well as he has recently. I lowered my expectations of him long ago. However, he is the second or third most effective Sox starter of late. If the Sox are going to take advantage of the Ray's floundering, he needs to continue what he has started through September.

 

 

Let's get some hit and runs tonight!

Drew and Ortiz need to forget that they aren't supposed to be able to hit lefties.

Breaking news here from Toronto. Dustin Pedroia is on track to rejoin the Red Sox one week from today.

 

Pedroia had a successful workout at the Rogers Centre this afternoon, running nearly full speed.

 

He will start running the bases tomorrow and is scheduled for an exam on Friday back in Boston. If cleared, he would play rehab games on Saturday and Sunday and play for the Sox on Tuesday at home against the Angels.

 

Terry Francona was almost gleeful when he spoke to reporters.

 

"He did great," the manager said after watching Pedroia's workout. "Today was by far the best day. It was one of those days when you kind of leap by bounds. I think we hoped that would be the case. Some days it's level and then you have a day like today. He kind of simulated coming out of the batter's box and then he's run straight. I'd say he was close to 100 percent speed-wise.

 

"There was no limp, there was no favoring it. He had that little burst. It was very exciting."

 

Pedroia ran in cleats, which also was significant given that he is coming back from a broken bone in his left foot. He later took grounders as well.

 

"I'm going to try and run the bases tomorrow," Pedroia said. "If I can do that and it doesn't hurt, then I'm going to do the same thing on Thursday and then I'm going to see the doctor [in Boston] and if he clears me to play, I'm going to play."

 

Pedroia, who last played on June 25, agreed with the idea that he would need a few minor league games before coming back.

 

"I don't even know if I'll play second or DH. Whatever they tell me to do, I'll play in those two games," he said. "Then we're off Monday and then I'll play Tuesday."

 

Triple A Pawtucket is home over the weekend and Double A Portland is on the road, so McCoy Stadium seems like the most likely spot for Pedroia to rehab.

 

Pedroia acknowledged that he may not have his usual speed and agility for the remainder of the season.

 

"I know the rest of the way is going to be tough," he said. "But we're at a point right now where we're trying to make a run and make it in the playoffs and trying to win the whole thing if we can. I know I'm not going to be as fast as I was earlier in the year but I can make that up in the offseason."

Awesome news

Yeah Pedey!! :thumbsup:

Or, in other words, Pedroia will have limitations. Like he may not have the ability to push-off when going for a ball that is not hit directly at him. He may not have a burst of speed on the base paths.

 

The fact that he is not limping is a very good sign. But, the muscle groups in his legs and hip are not ready. That's what I have gleaned from this post. And what of his timing at the plate?

He should regain the strength and mobility very quickly. He had no muscle or ligament damage. The current weakness is due to atrophy from immobilization. That will come back quickly.

Hahahahahaha!

 

Atrophy is a given. That's what I was referring to. I just didn't want to misspell it!:lol:

[Palodios]

During the pregame show, they were talking about John Farrell being scouted as a manager for another team, but then they mentioned he might end up as the successor to Tito. My heart skipped a couple of beats-- that's not an actual possibility, is it?

[WhiskeyBreath]

Which part are you referring to?

[Spudboy]

Farrell has tons of cred.

 

Somebody will have him as manger.

 

Myself, I'd like to see Eric Wedge.

 

Or Gabe Kapler (his wife is hot!).

[Spudboy]

Dice -K is just f***ing with them!

 

So far.

[Spudboy]

Hahahahahahaha!

 

3 Ks.

 

Way to go Dice -K!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Everyone likes Dice-K now? Lol

[Spudboy]

No.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Dice K, wow.

 

Nice hitting Ortiz.

[Spudboy]

poopi!

[WhiskeyBreath]

It's a doubles party. 1-0 Sox

[Spudboy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Sox on the board first.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Hopefully playing Toronto can jump start Boston's awful offense of late.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Another double and another run. I love me some Lowrie, only when he's hitting from the right side of course.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This game is full of doubles haha.

[Spudboy]

Hopefully playing Toronto can jump start Boston's awful offense of late.

 

Wait, you mean you don't like 6 hit s a game?;)

 

 

Ells!
