*******************************

 

Welcome back Pedey!! Happy 27th Birthday!!

I'm a little surprised that Tito opted for McDonald over Hall against the right handed Weaver.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Pedroia finally!!!

[Palodios]

Other great news! Patterson is gone, and Nava's coming!

 

This offense will be pounding again!

[Yaz Sideburn]

of course we're have to get to the playoffs first which is seeming more and more unlikely every day, but...

 

Youkilis is holding out hope that he can return for the playoffs, though hasn't been told that's a possibility by doctors.

 

[CoachC.]

hola from espana!

Three weeks ago my dad told me he had 2 tickets 3 rows back from the dugout for this game, and that me and my brother could go since he needed to be in LA for work.

 

One week ago today I had my right ACL reconstructed. I held out hope that I could still make it to the game tonight. Sunday I was still taking about 12 percocets per day to deal with the pain even though it was only becoming a nuisance now, not hurting. It was this point I told my brother to just bring someone else with my ticket.

 

Yesterday I got my staples out, and my knee has felt terrific since. I could have made it to the game, and now I'm really angry that I'm not there.

Pull rank on your brother's friend and get yourself to the game. People do go to the games in wheelchairs. I guess the meds clouded your thinking. Oh well.

[a700hitter]

Patterson was DL'd after he was diagnosed by team doctors as having an accute case of suck.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I'm surprised Clay's foot didn't get shattered on that play with the luck the Sox have had this year.

[Palodios]

Wow, the pitch zone showed where Buch is hitting, and he got both the top and bottom corners, pretty much right on there, and Abreau still crushed that ball. Even if a run scores here, Buchholz is still looking solid.

[a700hitter]

Abreu killing us as usual since 2006.

[Palodios]

Two base runners, and somehow Buchholz only threw 7 pitches, no runs. Weaver will have to be tough to get through them tonite.

 

And does anyone know the availability of Lowrie? I know that with Pedroia back, he has no spot in the lineup today, but I'm just curious.

[WhiskeyBreath]

He should be available. I read that he was suffering from the Texas heat.

[Palodios]

Yeah, I wasn't sure since he hasn't played in a few games if he's okay or not.

[Yaz Sideburn]

buchholz gives up a leadoff double and pitches around it unscatched on 5 pitches

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Ortiz is batting third?

[WhiskeyBreath]

Yes

[Will617]

Holyyy shiitt. Robbed.

[TedWilliams101]

I hate Hunter. He's too good.

[Palodios]

There are times you simply have to applaud your opponent. Clap clap Torii Hunter, clap clap.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Why we always get robbed-.-

[TedWilliams101]

There are times you simply have to applaud your opponent. Clap clap Torii Hunter' date=' clap clap.[/quote']

 

Oh yeah, he's amazing in CF and I respect him, I just wish I watched that on a highlight reel from some West coast game, not at Fenway....

[Will617]

Boy, Darnell really got under that one.

[Spudboy]

D MAC!

 

1-0 Sox.

[Spudboy]

Somebody call Giant Glass!!

[Yaz Sideburn]

mcdonald!

[a700hitter]

I'm a little surprised that Tito opted for McDonald over Hall against the right handed Weaver.

Not any more.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

McDonalddddd! Sox on the board first.

[Yaz Sideburn]

fenway security has a shop vac that they'll clean out the back seat of the car with. i've seen it plenty of times before
