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

 

MLB Extra Innings is having mercy on my soul and giving me the choice of the home or away broadcast. The home broadcast is in HD but I'll watch the NESN broadcast because I'd rather listen to Joe Morgan, Jon Miller, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver over fk'n Hawk Harrelson, the ULTIMATE White Sox homer.

#17 tonight.

[mvp 78]

Hawk is the most unbearable announcer ever.

[Youk Of The Nation]

100 RBI for Papi. 31 HR, .264. Ill take that. Imagine if he hadn't sucked like the first season of Next Generation in April.

[Yaz Sideburn]

top 2 reasons to keep watching this year

 

clay buchholz

jon lester

[VA Sox Fan]

Late entry: so glad Boogar sent Papi, close play at the plate....lol

[Spudboy]

Manny still runs hard.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice play Mikey

 

Way to hustle Manny

[Yaz Sideburn]

if buchholz can manage 3 more scoreless innings he'll take over the league lead in era

[Yaz Sideburn]

buchholz and lester both have an era under 3 for the time being. can anyone guess the last time an al team had 2 pitchers who threw at least 150 inning and had an era under 3?

 

i'll give you a clue but it won't make it any easier - that team actually had 3 pitchers who threw at least 150 innings with an era under 3

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice load of hits tonight fellas! Keep it up!

Considering how both the Yankees and Red Sox look right now, the Yankees really are quite fortunate they won last night. The Sox are playing good baseball.

isn't papelbon lovely? of course it didn't help that the home plate umpire called 6 pitches inside the strike zone balls

True, but too little too late. Poor timing etc etc......

Hello all.

I haven't been so disappointed in a Sox player in a long time. Not only his poor performance but his attitude about it is embarassing. The strike zone sucked last night but that happens and doesn't explain his 8 blown saves or his bloated ERA of late. Thanks for 2007. Man up Paps. See ya....

[VA Sox Fan]

Hello all.

 

Hello...we're WINNING!!!! :thumbsup:

[Spudboy]

isn't papelbon lovely? of course it didn't help that the home plate umpire called 6 pitches inside the strike zone balls

 

Of course he also called four balls strikes.

[Spudboy]

Buch in a mess now.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Hello...we're WINNING!!!! :thumbsup:

 

I see. That's nice and all but really doesn't mean to much now that we're out of contention for the WC.

[VA Sox Fan]

Come on Clay!

 

Nice play Hall.

I know.

Great job by Buchholz. Got lucky against Morel, but only after getting unlucky against Ramirez.

gotta love baseball

[Spudboy]

Nice job getting out of that. The line drive to Hall was tagged. But everything else was good.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice play A. Ramirez...damn.....

[Youk Of The Nation]

The Sox have the potential to end this season with less than ten fewer wins than NY or TB. Considering they had a terrible April, played an entire season without Ellsbury and Cameron, lost Pedroia for several months and Youk for almost 2, got a subpar season from JD Drew and Papelbon, and played several weeks with a rotating assortment of untrained chimps and lethargic toddlers at the catching position, I'd say that the season hasn't been entirely bad. If this had happened to, say, the Twins or the Rangers, they'd probably have been nuked from orbit by now.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Nice play A. Ramirez...damn.....

 

Don't worry, you don't have to include the initial. No one would think you were referring to Manny.
