Well. At least the DP's a possibility now.

 

Freese's hideous mug at the plate.

Freese really blows nowadays. He used to be a MAN.

If you have one dominant starter, I think he should start 3 games in a 7 game series. Lester is big horse of a man. Peavy is a choker and Buch is injured. I'd have rolled the dice with Lester tonight.

 

That's what I was thinking. I don't think there is a thing as being short sighted when you are down 2-1 in a best of 7. You roll out Lester and he wins tonight, even if you loose game 5 you still have Lackey on full rest in game 6 and Lester back on short rest on game 7. At this point I would bet my marbles that Lester on short rest > than Peavy on regular rest. Of course Lester on short rest is unkown, but he is a beast and a horse. I think he would do okay.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. I suppose Farrell going with the worst case/best case scenario in his mind... worst: lose tonight, we've still got Lester in for game 5; best: win tonight and we've still got Lester in for game 5.

Any chance we can hope that Fenway Peavy would be better?

 

 

Peavy has been great before the last few outings, he's as good a chance as anyone they're pitching. Sox gave the last few games away.

I think not looking at game 7 at this point is short sighted. Peavy in game 7 is a nightmare.

We are fighting an uphill battle after having given away 2 games. I think that down 2 games to 1 is the time to shake things up and go with your best.

It's when you are lucky enough to pot the brown on a first date.

Pot the brown??? I only speak pidgeon Boston. Please translate.

Drew is still sucking it. And who cares about baseball reviewing the obstruction rule. GFY Joe and Tim. That was yesterday's news and it has no relevance to the rest of this series. So, please shut up about it.

We're bound to get burned pitching that many guys in a row on short rest.

Women needed a way into sports broadcasting.

 

Paved the way for Doris Burke. She does too much for ESPN now.

not usually. He just picked the wrong time for a slump

 

You can say that again. He's lost millions in free agency with this postseason disaster. Defense doesn't bring the cash. Hitting does.
