Yup. VA got it right. Back tightened up on him last night, right at the last minute.

 

Doesn't much surprise me that he's sitting out today. Day game after night game, even though he didn't play last night, it didn't give it much time to recover either. No point in risking making it worse than it is and keeping him from playing the weekend series vs TB.

[Palodios]

I think this is a good opportunity to see whether or not Lavarnway will be able to replace Ortiz.

[Spudboy]

Pedroia clean-up????

 

Okay.

[jopete19]

Pedroia clean-up????

Lets get on a winning streak and sweep the tampa gays.. I mean Rays

[VA Sox Fan]

Pedroia clean-up????

 

Okay.

 

He's done well in the clean up position.

[Palodios]

Pedroia clean-up????

 

Okay.

 

I know you mentioned you haven't been following the Sox much... He's actually hit in cleanup a lot when Youkilis/Ortiz were out. He's had some pretty good games there, actually.

Rotation set for Rays series

It'll be Kyle Weiland followed by Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Tim Wakefield.

 

Andrew Miller is being skipped.

 

Also: David Ortiz is feeling better but is day to day. ... Erik Bedard will play catch again today but no word on when he might start.

[Spudboy]

He's done well in the clean up position.

 

Well I have only watched 5 games this season Lynne. So I am not aware of this. It just sounds odd. But hey, the kid can swat with the best of them. He's like a disciplined Vlad Guerrero (SP!!!) in some ways.

[Spudboy]

Furthermore, allow me to say that I intend to infest this GT today. I'm in a trollin' mood so look out!!! :lol::lol:

Just to fill ya in, in 21 games hitting from the clean up spot this season, Pedroia is hitting .341/.391/.600. In 27 games in his career from the clean up spot, Pedroia has hit .400/.443/.705. It's pretty insane what he's done from there.

 

You'll be pleasantly surprised today. Trust me. :thumbsup:

The minute Lackey gives up a run, the bitching and moaning about him will begin. Or hopefully those folks won't be here for a day game.

 

Thank you.

What about 2 runs? :thumbdown

 

Come on Lack. You gotta be better man. Plain and simple.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lackey doing what he does best.

 

(sorry VA)

Luckily for us, it didn't take long. I really hope Buchholz can be ready for the playoffs. I don't want Lackey anywhere near this team come October (if we hang on to make the playoffs that is).

[Cocos Disciples]

Crap, that was unlucky. Buckle down, Lackey.

[VA Sox Fan]

I don't consider any of the above comments bitching and/or moaning. Very reasonable so far. IMO

[SoxFanForsyth]

Need to push across a couple this inning. How about a Pedroia HR. That'd work just fine.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Atta boy Youk!!

 

Come on Lavarnway. Meet the monster please

[SoxFanForsyth]

Bottom 3 of our order is brutal vs Romero today. Hope Tek and Mac can drive in a couple right here.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Atta boy Tek. Way to get it in.

 

Lavarnway got ripped on that being called an error.

[Palodios]

Anyone else notice that Scutaro is almost hitting .300?

:blink: What?!?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Damn. I knew Scut was hot. But he's hitting .436 in September. Ridiculous.
