It seems to have become the normal thing for Embree to come in, give up a base hit or two, and then to have Timlin allow those runs to score. This needs to change.

Ha! We can go toe to toe with the Yanks any day of the week! We have NO trouble countering their bad pitching with ours! Bring 'em on!

Unrelated, but did you ever get that 8x10?

HALLELUJAH! 4-0, thank you Trot Nixon.

Mussina is struggling. This is good.

NICE! A disaster turned into a sweet out at third.

You represent what your passport is. If he has a Dominican passport, fine, let him play. So long as he's a citizen. But I highly doubt that A-Rod has anything but a blue passport.

Alright. This is a relatively important game, and I have a relatively good game thread record, so here goes. Also of note, today is Bastille day. Mussina http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/119608.jpg 9-5 3.97 @ A decidedly stoned-looking Arroyo. That music business is getting to his head I tell you! http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/276520.jpg 7-5 4.02 Yankee fans are predicting a 4 game sweep on their part. If we lose this we could just attribute it to the fact that many of our players played over the All Star break, while the Yankees were much less affected. From mlb.com: Interesting how much both pitchers suck against the opposing teams this year.

I went to Canada once. Can I play for the Canadian team?

Welcome to Talksox.

Yea, exactly like what's his name did.....oh, right Byung Hyung Kim. Arm angle isn't quite enough.

Why is it that everyone where I look, people out of New York are expecting a sweep? It's laughable.

No problem, and I won't merge it into the existing tickets thread. The only trouble is that June 16th already passed....either she got duped or you made a typo.

Wow. Lay of the african american jokes man. What did they ever do to you.

National sport of Afghanistan, called Buskashi. I have no idea what soxfan is talking about.

Umm, ok, but tell me that when I actually make an asian joke? If you've ever seen this sport you would probably agree with me.

Wells. Miller's history points to a decline in the second half, as he always tends to run into some injury or another at some point.

The one in Afghanistan where they ride horses, throw goats, and yuyulate.

This was the single most painful thing I have ever had to read. Translated for you (I mean, for "u"): Diz wuz da 1 most bad tin I ever red.

Increased by 50 characters. Sorry guys, but this is the only way to limit sig length as of now. If I figure out a way to do it by lines, I'll implement that and get rid of the character limit. Until then......sorry.

Welcome to Talksox. If you don't act like an idiot, we may just not hate you.

Welcome to the site, Ella.

1. I'm gonna merge this with the existing ticket question thread. 2. That could very well be the last row of faaaaaaaaar left field. In the grandstand it goes AA BB CC and so on, and then it gets to numbers as far as rows go. For the "hardcore party peopel" you'd be better off with the bleachers, but Fenway is pretty tame when it comes to this because the tickets are so damn expensive. The tour is awesome, definitely worth the time, although I'm unsure of the cost. I dont think anyone tailgates, and beer is accessible, although expensive, and is not available after the 7th. Prepare to wait in line.

I agree. I, and most Red Sox fans, tend to think of Jeter as overrated. Believe me, he is. Yankee fans go to ridiculous lengths to hump their favorite shortstop; some even proclaim him the best player in baseball. (And let it be noted that, even if it may have been used incorrectly, that was the first usage of a colon in a sentence in Talksox history).

He may not, however, be a first ballot hall of famer. That distinction should be reserved for the best of the best, players who without a doubt represent the epitome of baseball awesomeness, of which there were only a few playing in last night's game. edit: the formatting seems to be royally effed in that code snippet, but you get the point.
