7/29 @Yankees

[Thunder]

Leaving for a week, won't be online, so I had to do it now. I have given kapsis21 permission to keep going if Sox win again.

 

Game details:

 

Doubront (10-5, 4.54) vs Kuroda (10-7, 3.34)

Game starts at 8:05 on ESPN.

 

Sox can actually take 2 out of 3 with win.

Ellsbury CF

Crawford LF

Pedroia 2B

Gonzalez 1B

Ross DH

Saltalamacchia C

Middlebrooks 3B

Sweeney RF

Ciriaco SS

[Station 13]

Middlebrooks hitting 7th........thansk Bobby. It's not like he's the best hitter on this road trip or anything.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I just found out that Forsyth Street intersects with Fenway Street in Boston.

 

We shall win.

[Bellhorn04]

So excited to see Sweeney in the lineup. The dude is on fire...3 extra-base hits since June 1.

 

Seriously what is this stiff doing on the team?

Wait, did you just realize that? I had assumed your name was based on that street.

[Big Papis Ghost]

Can we please get 2 outta 3 please !!!

[Palodios]

Just saw a picture of Lebron at the Olympics wearing a yankee hat. Vomitacious.

How about watching the game tonight V? Maybe you might be able to tell when your pitcher is just tossing cookie after cookie up there like Padilla was last night.

[jung]

I can see that Pedey's discussions with Ells has paid off and I can hardly get that posted when Crawford does the same thing. *******s

[jung]

That was so obvious I wonder if that was Ells and Crawford telling Pedey to go f*** himself. What a team!

I don't have the game on-- what are you referring to?

[wyo-sox]

I have both starting pitchers on my fantasy teams. Could only play one tonight. Took a small gamble and went with Dubront.

[NC Sox Fan]

Nice start for Doubront.

salty shoud hit 7

Apparently according to a discussion between Buckley and Pedey subsequently ending up in a piece by Buckley Pedey discussed with Ells and Crawford the need to look at more pitches especially if Crawford wanted to bat second and Ells was going to bat first. He wanted them setting the tone, driving up pitch count and getting a look at more pitches in order to get better pitches to hit.

 

As you might have guessed there was some huffing and snorting about Pedey "going to the media" to relate the discussion although as Buckley points out he had actually asked Pedey about the discussion I guess having originally gotten the information elsewhere and Pedey confirmed that he did in fact have the discussion with both players. I was just walking back in the room as Ells was hitting what had to be the first pitch of the game into an out promptly followed by Crawford who I saw step into the box, swing at the first pitch and promptly ground into an out.

[wyo-sox]

Salty walks..... and to think I was here to see it, sweet.

[jung]

What are you swinging at WMB...that was not anywhere near the plate.

[lesterkett]

we shouldn't have trade Josh reddick

[wyo-sox]

Awesome

[jung]

Sweeney finds a stroke...atta boy Ryan....and it sounds like the Yankee crowd is actually booing Kuroda in the 2nd inning....unbelieveable

[wyo-sox]

The rock!

[TutGadol]

I think the Sox are starting to win so they can disappoint us again later.

[TutGadol]

Everyday starter!

[CaliSoxFan04]

Good evening guys! nice stop by Pedro!!

[jung]

Needless to say...Aviles does not get anywhere near that ground ball to Ciriaco.

[wyo-sox]

I think the Sox are starting to win so they can disappoint us again later.

 

I was thinking how hot they would have to get and for how long before I got excited. Probably have to see like 11 of 15 wins before I thought the ship was getting straightened out.

[jung]

C'mon Felix...don't waste a great play behind you. Get the hell out of this inning

[jung]

Yes!!!! How I wish the dead between the ears Sox management would come to their senses and figure out how valuable having a guy making plays at SS would have been to this team and still can be...maybe not this year but Geez this should not have been hard to figure out.

[wyo-sox]

Was Ciriaco generally a 2nd baseman in his minor league career?
