5/7 vs. Tiny Soft Drink

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Too many DP against the Twins.

[Station 13]

We need to rethink who hits in the 3 hole. Pedroia doesn't cut it.

[Station 13]

I know this might be silly but is Ellsbury the ideal candidate to lead off? I almost feel that Ellsbury/Victorino/Pedroia are ideal #2 hitters.

 

No, his OBP is too BA driven. He usually have bad AB time after time.

[Palodios]

Is it just me, or do the Red Sox hit a TON of dps?

Lately it's Pedroia.

[crazydiamond]

Papi's unbelievable.

[jung]

I have commented that I think of the guys we have in the lineup every day, Vic would be a better lead off hitter than Ells. My druthers would be Vic, Ells, Pedey for as long as Pedey can stay in the 3 hole.

I'd love to see Ortiz hitting well towards the end of his career to move closer and closer to HOF territory. (In terms of counting numbers)

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nearly another one.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

For those who are 21+, here's a new drinking game. Drink every time Gones grabs his helmet.

 

I'll tell Jacko to take care of you in the hospital.

*Diamond throws a beach ball*

 

*Swing and a miss*

[Station 13]

Games at Fenway hasn't been that fun has it? They're not scoring many runs at home, thus lead to a bunch of 1 run blown saves.

[jung]

Grabs his helmet you might survive....jerks on it ....you are done for....alcohol poisoning

[iortiz]

WM is lost.

But... they're 12-5 at home!

[iortiz]

Oh boy, Dempster has been very good thus far...

 

Lets make some runs!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lots of K's and groundouts. Good work Dempster.

[crazydiamond]

Glad to see Ryan off to a good start, something he needed really bad.

[italstallianion]

And the pitch count is looking good which our bullpen needs desperately, especially after calling up Webster rather than a reliever.

[jung]

What has been pretty remarkable about Dempster so far this season is his ability to keep the ball down. In his case it is absolutely critical. However he has really been able to do it more than you would have expected. He has not struggled a bit tonight but then again has kept the ball down for three straight innings. If he keeps this up his pitchfx for tonight is going to look ridiculous.

[crazydiamond]

"Stephen Drew, last night's hero."

 

Thought I'd never hear that one.

 

Another hit.

[mvp 78]

Ellsbury not having a contract year.

[jung]

Ellsbury not having a contract year.

 

Boras drinking heavily between clients lost and Ells performance...

[Thunder]

This is the best Dempster had looked this year. Wow.

[jung]

Gradually over the course of the last several games our offense seems to have sputtered.

[italstallianion]

I def need the Red Sox to score a lot of runs. If nothing else I'm in a league whereby having the least amount of runs over the course of the season pays out, and I have the White Sox this week and she has the Red Sox this week. So it'd def help if the Red Sox started scoring.

[jung]

He dd stop twice...very subtle but Demps started...and then brought the glove and ball back to set.

[Station 13]

What the f*** blue?

[jung]

Man thank God that was not WMB's head hitting that wall...what the hell happened to Ross though..contusion...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

All I could think of was Beltre hitting Ellsbury when that play happened. Please be okay Ross! I don't want to see Salty.
