8/31 SOX @ LA Angels

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Then your alternative would be giving it to the player surrounded by better ballplayers.

 

There is no in-between in this instance. You either favor giving the award to the player that appears to have had the best year or the player who appears to have contributed greatly to a "successful" team effort.

 

I simply think they mis-named the award. You can make that argument. But I don't think it will get you very far as that decision is several decades old.

 

They have the CY YOUNG award for best pitcher. Just come up with the BABE RUTH award for best everyday player.

[Station 13]

you thought Pedroia was old, then you got old man Pujols still in the game.

[jung]

Good chance this ump will be hearing it from both dugouts tonight. I love those games.

[Station 13]

JT starting out like a BJ.

 

Take him out

[FredLynn]

Taylor just sucks......you gotta throw strikes.

[jung]

you thought Pedroia was old, then you got old man Pujols still in the game.

 

Does anybody know if the surgery Albert had on his back was a spinal fusion. He sure moves around like it...especially in the batter's box.

[OH FOY]

Get him out. He's freak out.

[a700hitter]

AAA trash Taylor

[jung]

Upton has to know this will be another FB

[Station 13]

This is non competitive ********.

[a700hitter]

How long is Cora going to stick with Taylor?

[a700hitter]

27 pitches 3 base runners 1 out.

[OH FOY]

Needed that.

[FredLynn]

30 pitches.....get him out of there right now.

[jung]

And that is the Upton we know so well, another turkey if there ever was one. 72 games missed with turf toe. Ah-huh

[OH FOY]

Wow!!!! Take it!

[illinoisredsox]

Taylor Velasquezed that inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

31 pitches w/o giving up a run. That's pretty amazing.

[Station 13]

the Angels came away with blue balls that inning.

[Station 13]

Taylor looks like that former Rangers lefty pitcher.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think Taylor's on a 32 pitch count tonight.

[bosoxmal]

How many innings was Taylor slated? He looks about the same as he did last night! I don't get it. Yes, I realize that this is a "leader pitcher" fame, but why Taylor?

[jung]

Best job by Taylor that inning...walking Trout.

 

Upton is a laughable player.

 

I would love to see a team made up of all my favorites.

 

Iggy and Machado playing on the same left side of some poor slob manager's infield. Upton in the OF. Machado would nonchalant a play in the hole so badly that he could not even Ole' the ball and almost spectacular plays are not Iggy's thing so he would boot it. That would give us the pleasure of seeing Iggy glare menacingly at Machado and Manny laugh hysterically right in his face. Meanwhile Upton would take advantage of the opportunity to sit down in the OF and massage his poor widdo toesie. I am sure I could fill in the other positions with more complete s***-heads. It ain't hard these days.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Switch batter is much different than switch hitter.

[Station 13]

Can these relievers stop walking the park already?

[FredLynn]

Walden walks a .222 hitter who is 0 for his last 24.

Thats just lack of focus-the same thing that has contributed to this horrible season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Walden needs to wear bifocals.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX pitchers have gone from bad to worse. What's next? Worser, worsest? Is Josh Smith still with the team? Then there's always the original BJ.

[a700hitter]

Nice throw by JD. The Red Sox will need a lot of runs tonight.

[jacksonianmarch]

JD looks like one of my old man teammates in the OF in terms of range
