6/5 vs Hammel's HR Dispensery

[BornToRun]

I predict that Agon is going yard tonight and that we will sweep these birds and hasten their descent back to where they belong.

 

Kick some ass, Sox.

 

Someone change the date to 6/5 please.

Think I'll enjoy another rat poo beer for Pedey's return.

[Station 13]

No Middlebrooks again. I guess they want to trade Youk soon.

Yum yum!

Seriously. You don't sit a guy for 3 days in a row when he is hitting .390 with a .990 OPS over the past 11 games. Freaking ridiculous.

They should have sent him down a couple of days ago if they weren't going to play him. After the weekend series, they play 6 straight games in NL ballparks. He will be the odd man out of that rotation, because AGon needs to go to the OF so Ortiz can play first base. Youk's will be playing 3rd. WMB should be getting ABs in Pawtucket and returning immediately after the interleague crap is over.

Youk will be dished before the IL games start. That's my bold prediction of the day.

That is bold. Are you seeing any reports of trade negotiations?

I copied and pasted w/out paying attention!

Not negotiations but a lot of reports of teams scouting. And for him to be playing over a white hot Middlebrooks, you have to think they are trying to prove he is healthy. I can see a move being made sooner rather than later for teams who are in the hunt but need help at a corner IF slot.

I play CC every game-- center couch.

[a700hitter]

Here's a question. If the Sox trade Youkilis who on the Red Sox will opposing pitchers hit in retaliation?

[redsoxbeatz]

Anything less than or equal too Hamels for Youk is a NO. If sox pickup Blanton for Youk I'm crashing my 747 into Fenway.

Blanton is a pig. No way I would swap Youk for Blanton.

This.

 

Whata hell is going on with V?

[iortiz]

Blanton is a pig. No way I would swap Youk for Blanton.

 

Somehow, he reminds me Jenks. Yes, he is a pig.

[redsoxfan3]

Pedroia is ready to go tonight. He was in uniform in the dugout at 2:48 p.m. this afternoon. I think he is excited about playing tonight.

[a700hitter]

Somehow' date=' he reminds me Jenks. Yes, he is a pig.[/quote']Jenks gives pigs a bad name.

[NativeBostonian]

Ah, just got back from the grocery store with some beer. Now I am ready for a good ballgame.

[redsoxbeatz]

Sitting the man on fire (WMB) is like throwing water on him. What gives?

 

Put Gonz in the OF.

[redsoxbeatz]

Blanton is a pig. No way I would swap Youk for Blanton.

 

But what if our FO does?? Ugh.

[seabeachfred]

This lineup tells me we will most likely lose tonight. The fact that once again Middlebrooks is on the pine tells me pretty much that we don't have our best players in the game....and what for?????? Youkilis should have been traded by now. They say there is interest in him, right? Well what the hell are the idiots in the front office waiting for.....for when he goes lame on the DL again? We don't have to wait for the damn trade deadline to make a move, but we know Pukington is as risk adverse as any baseball exec in the game and is an ignorant and gutless bum besides. Bad enough we have Shitbag Lester pitching for us this evening but to keep Will on the bench again is absolutely stupid and harmful.

 

Of course, that is just my opinion but I'm entitled to it, and I also know that the last two times Will has sat and Youk played third base we have lost. The last three times Will was in the lineup we won. I don't like the odds tonight. I hope I'm very wrong.:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown

[SoxFanForsyth]

Anything less than or equal too Hamels for Youk is a NO. If sox pickup Blanton for Youk I'm crashing my 747 into Fenway.

 

While I agree about Blanton, it's beyond ridiculous and crazy to even mention Hamels and Youkilis in the same paragraph.

[seabeachfred]

Youk will be dished before the IL games start. That's my bold prediction of the day.

 

Very bold Forsyth!!! But you are completely wrong. He will not be traded unless the team interested takes over the whole salary for Youkilis this year. Prune Face Henry will not eat one dime of that contract and that means what happened to all those unsuccessful supposed trades for Mike Lowell two years ago will happen here. We are screwing our best prospect right now and for a team that has ruined some of its good prospects in the past and maybe one this year (BarF), right now I wouldn't trust those morons running the team with carrying a water bottle.

You realize that Lester dominates the orioles so much that it should be a crime, right? And the lineup's solid tonight, WMB or not.

Indeed. Would never happen. And if we traded for Blanton, I don't care if we got him for a happy meal and a kind word, I'd punch Ben in the balls.
