5/30 @ Philly

[RabbitIYH]

Excuse me if I'm not doing correctly but since we lost yesterday, I'm allowed to start a new thread, right?

 

Anyway, more interleague play and we should see Ortiz at first base.

 

First start of the season for Franklin Moralez and he'll be taking on Jonathan Pettibone (3-0, 3.21 ERA). No Red Sox hitter has ever faced him.

 

Let's try to get a winning streak going before visiting the Yankees tomorrow!

[italstallianion]

You're good.

 

I'm trying to find a way to work in a "Pettiboner" pun but I'm having trouble getting one.

[Bellhorn04]

You're good.

While you're at it, try and do something with Jonathan Pettibone and Jonathan Papelbon.

[italstallianion]

I thought about that too, but I figured I always pronounce is "Pap-ul-bahn" so when I read "Papelboner" I think "Pap-ul-bahner"

 

Pettiboner is a little easier imo.

I think Pettibone is French for 'Little Hard-on'.

[RabbitIYH]

I think Pettibone is French for 'Little Hard-on'.

No it isn't. While "Petit" does indeed mean small, "bone", which I assume you thought meant boner does not exist in French.

[Thunder]

Because you're new, I'll explain it to you. Let us have our fun!!!

 

Tonight should be a good one, but I'm really concerned about Clay. Any word on whether he'll get a DL trip or not? Good call by Farrell though to push Lester back to face CC tomorrow and have Doubront face Hughes on Saturday.

Petit - small

Bon - good

 

His last name is basically "little good," which means just the tip baby...

[Bellhorn04]

No it isn't. While "Petit" does indeed mean small, "bone", which I assume you thought meant boner does not exist in French.

 

It was just a dumb joke.

Right, I'm obviously missing something here

Jonathan Pettibone RHP (3-0, 3.21).

 

Game time: 7:05 p.m.

 

TV/Radio: NESN, MLB Network / WEEI.

 

Red Sox vs. Pettibone: No history.

 

Phillies vs. Morales: Howard 0-8, Rollins 2-7, Young 2-4, Frandsen 2-2, Revere 1-2, Brown 0-1, Galvis 1-1, Mayberry 0-1, Nix 0-1.

 

Stat of the Day: The Red Sox are 162-124 in interleague games, 117-66 since the start of the 2003 season.

 

Notes: Morales hasn't pitched in a major league game since Aug. 23. He was shut down then because of shoulder pain. Then a back injury caused him to start the season on the disabled list. Now he enters the rotation after making five starts in the minor leagues. Morales could be limited today. The longest he went in the minors was five innings and 77 pitches on May 23. Morales is 1-0, 0.96 against Philadelphia in his career, all at Citizens Bank Park. But that encompasses only 9.1 innings and seven of those were from 2007-09. ... Pettibone is a 22-year-old rookie making his eighth start. Tonight marks the sixth time this year that Boston has faced a rookie starter. The previous five have combined for an 11.65 ERA (22 ER/17.0 IP), allowing 38 hits. None of the five lasted longer than five innings and two failed to pitch out of the third inning. But the Sox were only 3-2 in those games. ... Ortiz is making his first start in the field since last June. He played seven games at first base last season. Since the start of 2005, David Ortiz has 19 homers in 169 at-bats while playing first base. ... Ellsbury's last nine games: 13 of 36 (.361) with five walks and six RBIs. That has raised his batting average from .241 to .260 and his on-base percentage from .303 to .325. ... Iglesias is 7 of 18 since returning to the majors. ... Brown is 4 for 12 with four home and five RBIs in three games against the Red Sox this week. ... The Sox have allowed 10 home runs in the last four games.

When did Cherington re-sign him?

When did Cherington re-sign him?

 

Pete Abe done goofed...

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'm so happy that we brought up Bradley right in the middle of an incredible hot streak when he was playing perhaps the best he's played as a professional, and we sit him for two days.

 

Awesome. Really. Awesome.

[Thunder]

Well this is what I like to see, a quick 1-0 lead.

[Station 13]

#offense

[Thunder]

4 runs should be enough to hold Morales for about two innings.

 

Either way, lets keep pounding the s*** out this Pettibone!

[crazydiamond]

couldn't have asked for a better start, fingers crossed for Morales.

[Station 13]

f*** you Bradford. Shut up.

[Thunder]

Looks like a quiet night here on Talksox.

[Station 13]

damn.

[Bellhorn04]

Scoring 15 runs tonight would be a great idea.

[a700hitter]

Morales is serving up juicy meatballs.

[iortiz]

We better make tons of runs.

[Thunder]

Morales is serving up juicy meatballs.

 

He's swinging at them too...and missing.

[Station 13]

Nava is impatient lately.

[User Name]

And Ellsbury is patient. What's going on?

[User Name]

And to think Jimmy Rollins used to be so good on both sides of the ball
