Guerin Austin has to get NESN to reimburse her for cleaning costs or just buy her new dresses.

 

I count 3-4 times she has taken a Gatorade bath this season where the dress was soaked with a dye.

 

Either that or she should stand there in a bikini.

 

Yeah. I like that better. Even if she does not have a decidedly high center of gravity.

 

Well put. Now pardon me while I clean up the coffee I spit all over my keyboard.

If Will Middlebrooks hadn't implanted his other bat into Jenny Dell, we would still have her right about now.

Gross and no. The Sox don't keep the sideline reporters around for very long. They only have a few years of shelf life apparently.

Heidi Watney was around for several years until she met UN at the Team Store. I don't know if there was a causal effect.

One of the greatest days of my life, all thanks to Spud! Man, that reminds me of Mike

Seems that way. I saw Hazel Mae last night... She's the sideline reporter for the Blue Jays now. I guess answering to Buck Martinez advances her aging process because she is far removed from her glory days.

I think last night's was a key game. Yes, great to go 3 up on the Orioles while beating them at Camden. Betts 3 dingers also great. But to me Rodriguez's start, coming on the heels of good starts by Price and then Wright and combined with some pretty good bullpen last night and Sunday, tells me the there is light at the end of the "pitching sucks" tunnel. Heck, Buchholz even got the win Sunday night coming out of the bullpen. If ERod can hold up, that's four pretty decent starters: Wright, Price, Porcello, and Rodriguez. Plus maybe Kelly, maybe Buchholz if Kelly can't hack it, and that's OK for a 5th starter.

 

The hitting, of course, is out of this world, leading MLB in runs and OPS. Betts has no business leading off with an OBP of .325, but so far that has been brilliant. He not only leads the team in runs scored, which is what lead off batters should do, he also is second on the team in dingers and, wait for it, rbi's. Somebody started an insane thread that this outfield--JBJ, Betts, and Swihart--might be the Sox best ever, but now I'm thinking not so crazy after all. Swihart needs to hit better, but all three are mobile and have good to very good arms--and JBJ is the old guy at age 26. Heck, last night Young, on spot duty in CF, made a terrific catch against the wall/fence in CF. The infield likewise is steady if not brilliant, and all four are hitting well to extremely well even though HanRam needs to pick up the pace a little. Ortiz is only the best DH ever at age 40. Vazquez ain't hitting much, but is still very good behind the plate.

 

It's a long season and we're almost 1/3 thru it, so there is still a lot of baseball to be played. But from here the future looks pretty darn good. Thank goodness Ellsbury had no intention of sticking around. His departure opened a door for both JBJ and Betts. Vazquez's injury last year opened a door for Swihart, who suddenly is the only LF/C in MLB. Sandoval thankfully decided not to lose any weight, giving Shaw a shot. The only bad thing was losing Iglesias, which means we are stuck with that Xander guy at SS. Can't have everything, I guess.

Evan Gattis is also a LF/C, but he sucks at both.

We all have to suffer sometime ....
