RedSoxRooter

I had a girlfriend once named Jill who had a Cape house right on the beach. That place ROCKED! (yes, it sure did.. ) ahhh Jill. :dunno:

3-3 heading into the bottom of the 9th. Schilling on??? Nope. Timlin.

That is sweet! Screw a Talksox sign. Make a sign that reads "I KNOW REDSOXROOTER!" That would OWN. Yanks lose, Sox up 3-0. So far, so good.

Ha. I call you on that. I think Millar gets one.

Let's go Boomer!

Boston (62-46) at Minnesota (56-53), 7:10 pm EDT http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4057.jpghttp://www.giantsequoia.com/assets/TransparentSpacer.gifhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/6441.jpg Boomer Wellshttp://www.public.iastate.edu/~aslagell/sumr212/spacer.gifJohan Santana 9-5, 4.45 ERA http://www.public.iastate.edu/~aslagell/sumr212/spacer.gif 10-6, 3.65 ERAhttp://www.familymatters.tv/navbar/spacer.gif MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Reigning Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana faces veteran lefthander David Wells when the Minnesota Twins meet the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Santana (10-6, 3.65 ERA) is just 2-4 at the Metrodome this season. He had a personal three-game winning streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to Oakland on Monday. Santana struck out seven and walked just one. In his only start against the Red Sox last year, Santana struck out 12 and allowed just two hits in eight innings. Wells (9-5, 4.45) has dominated the Twins in his career, including last Saturday when he yielded two runs in seven innings of a 6-2 win at Fenway Park. In 37 games and 24 starts against Minnesota, Wells is 19-6 with a 2.27 ERA and three shutouts. His effort a week ago was part of Boston's eight-game winning streak that came to a crashing halt on Friday. Brad Radke tossed seven strong innings and was backed by a 16-hit attack that included Joe Mauer 's three-RBI effort in a 12-0 victory for the Twins. Minnesota's breakout came on the heels of a 1-7 stretch in which the club never scored more than five runs.

It's 1 game. No big deal. Wells is pitching tomorrow, right? He's been our best starter the last 2 months. Wake on Sunday, right? He's GREAT in domes. Arroyo though is starting to scare me. Looks like he's running out of steam here a tad too early in the year. And forget about Embree for god's sake. Worry about your own damn team. The Yankees will not be in the playoffs this year. They have no starting pitching - I don't care what their offense or Rivera does.

Oh, come on now. It's not that bad. It's been so long since I felt a loss (when was it, a week ago last Tuesday?) that it almost seems they are due for one. It's healthy. The Sox are a good team and are more consistant than the Yankees. They'll come back tomorrow. Let me put it this way: The Yanks could sweep, the Sox could be swept - and we'd still be in 1st place afterward. It just sucks we have to go until 7pm tomorrow night with a loss on the brain.

What does this guy even look like? What does his delivery look like? Who does he remind anyone of??? ugghhhhh

It could be worse. We could not have a 4.5 game lead right now. Arroyo is toast, but we'll score some. Don't give up on them in the 5th. Hell, we scored 8 in an inning just yesterday.

Double crap. I'm stuck with the Twins announcers this weekend.

Crap. When is Santana pitching? Saturday or Sunday?

That's right! What's my record when starting game threads??? Nice win.

Kansas City (38-69) at Boston (61-45), 1:05 pm EDT http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/7088.jpghttp://www.giantsequoia.com/assets/TransparentSpacer.gifhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/6099.jpg D.J. Carraskohttp://www.public.iastate.edu/~aslagell/sumr212/spacer.gifMatt Clement 5-5, 4.37 ERA http://www.public.iastate.edu/~aslagell/sumr212/spacer.gif 10-3, 4.43 ERAhttp://www.familymatters.tv/navbar/spacer.gif BOSTON (Ticker) -- The Boston Red Sox likely will be without All-Star Manny Ramirez when they attempt to complete a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Ramirez belted a three-run homer in the first inning, but then collided with shortstop Edgar Renteria chasing after a bloop in left field in the second inning of Wednesday's 8-5 win. The Most Valuable Player candidate suffered a bruised chest and a cheek injury and is listed as day-to-day. Despite the loss of the major league RBI leader, the Red Sox won their seventh consecutive game and opened a 4 1/2-game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East. All-Star Matt Clement (10-3, 4.43 ERA) will try to shake off his recent struggles for Boston. The righthander is winless in his last three starts, allowing 13 runs in 11 innings. Clement gave up three runs in just 2 1/3 innings - his shortest outing of the year - but did not factor in the decision in a 10-9 win at Tampa Bay on June 26. Kansas City counters with D.J. Carrasco (5-5, 4.37), who has given up four runs and six hits in six innings in each of his last two starts - posting a 1-1 mark in those games. *Damn, I get to miss the game this afternoon. But I set the vcr so I can watch it tonight. Let's go Matty! Let's go Sox! Sweep the homestand!

hey, we're tied for the second best record in the league! And 3rd best in all of MLB .

True. But don't forget to put at least 1 Red Sox player on your s*** list before you go to sleep tonight.

In a nod to Old Hoss, who unfortunately never stuck around here... "Old McDoogle had a farm, eee eye eee eye ohhhh..." I think there was even a "Gobble, Gobble here and a Gobble, Gobble there"...

God. Way to turn on Miller. I'd love to have some of you guys on my team at work. I guess there are shoes to fill now that Manny is off the s*** list. So lets go after the guy coming back from injury who missed his last start. Hey, lets all go rape his wife!

Manny got a bloody nose. We won't see him for a week or two.

I thought he hated spelling mistakes. :dunno:

Lazy ass.

And that's the ballgame! Great night. I needed this. 3.5 baby!

Wow. A half hour into the game before the game thread starts? You guys suck. I would have done it but food was more important. MANNY!

I should get it because I drink a lot of beer. I could use it to finally get these damn pants off.

I'm surprised there was no trade for a lefty or closer in the pen.
