Nava sighting! And Bogaerts batting 6th, eh?

 

That's really not a bad lineup. If Salty or Drew would decide to start hitting, it would give pitchers fits. I want to see Bogaerts driving in Nava who has just driven in Ortiz all night long. You know, for the one or two at-bats where Papi doesn't just drive himself in.

[Brennan]

Bottom of the lineup is bad but the super venemous trap door horse mojo guarantees a win anyway.

[mvp 78]

The batting order is ok. Nice to see Xander up where it counts!

[BornToRun]

Apparently Napoli is taking grounders at 3rd during BP. Farrell said him playing there is a possibility.

Beat me to it.

 

 

FWIW I think it would be worth it to try Bogaerts at SS, Napoli at 3B, and get that atrocious clown Stephen Drew out of the lineup for a while.

[BornToRun]

Might not be a bad idea with Peavy being more of a fly ball pitcher.

[redsoxfan3]

We need this win tonight and need to take 2 out of 3 on the road. Let's start off with the win tonight. Let's go Red Sox!

[seabeachfred]

Ellsbury

Victorino

Pedroia

Ortiz

Nava

Middlebrooks

Boegarts

Ross

Peavy

 

This is the lineup I would go with as well. Guess what? We're probably not going to get it. Sorry about that.

It's not the lineup I would want but it is what it is. Let's just get behind these guys and cheer them home with a big win tonight. It certainly can be done.

[Jabs]

Made the trip down from Iowa today. Sitting just on the left field side of the grass backdrop in center tonight!! Hoping to see a big Sox win! Go Sox!

This was the way our team did it in Detroit and though St. Louis isn't Detroit they are beatable and we should not forget that. From what I'm hearing since I got back to my home town late last night, a lot of the press and media are trying to bury the Red Sox. I thought they had more hair than that.

[J-Beck]

From all of the media coverage over the last few days, you'd almost think the Red Sox weren't even in this series. It's just "St. Louis vs. some other team".

[mvp 78]

The problem is that the media always dwells on whatever the most recent result was and blows it out of proportion.

MLB's top story right now is Beltran winning the Roberto Clemente award. I'm not even watching it tonight because the media's Red Sox hatred has reached a boil. I'll just follow it on here.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

>Turns on TV at 7

>Oh crap, they're back in the midwest, so it starts at 8. How do I kill the next hour?

 

f***ing time zones.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh, maybe it is starting now? Joe Buck's on.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

You know, when I first turn on these games, I try to find some compassion for Tim McCarver, because he looks like a nice enough old man who isn't out to be a douchebag, but after an inning and a half of the way he blows our opponents I just want to strangle him. Can't control it.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Am I the only one here?

[afjay]

I'm here. Let's hammer Joe Kelly.

[J-Beck]

I am feeling the urge to strangle every Cardinal fan that I see tonight.

[mvp 78]

The tv feed looks like ass tonight for me.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Are those goggles? If we don't hammer this nerd we should just forfeit the series.

[jung]

Oh, maybe it is starting now? Joe Buck's on.

 

I finally can't take it any longer. Even with the latency, decided to listen to radio and watch FOX. Just can no longer take Buck and Cadaver.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Kelly is loaded with personality!

 

That good-ol' FOX objectivity.

 

And before anyone asks, I don't have a radio or an MLBTV subscription.

[Station 13]

Two fast outs, god damn

[Brennan]

I'm going crazy, I just had an epic rant in the wrong game thread.

[redsoxrules]

He throws pretty hard, it won't be easy for the Sox hitters

[Carter]

I am feeling the urge to strangle every Cardinal fan that I see tonight.

I better keep a low profile. The Cards have not scored a run in the 1st inning in forever BTW...due?
