I'm calling walkoff.

lol :papelbon:

Mike Lowell!

Thank you. If it weren't for Beckett, the sox of course woudn't do the deal and Youk would be starting @ 3rd.

I love it for the Braves. They are so going to win the WC. Mark my words.

Not to mention that Lowell and Gonzo and to a lesser extent Youk are playing way above expectation. And then there's Papelbon... Imagine if these guys weren't producing? There was all the hope in the world that these guys would produce as they have, but as Theo himself said in his going away speech, give the kids a break. Tell me that's not a rebuilding year in the making and that we are quite lucky to be in the situation we are in. Just enjoy this year. And yes, 2004 has everything to do with my logic.

DFA Francona now! He brought in a lefty to face a lefty! Kill him! Now!

I hate to remind you guys but this is a REBUILDING YEAR. Like it or not and live with it.

way to go MDC DFA MDC (I smell a comeback song for Michael Jackson) (sarcasm, sort of)

Yeah, I was waiting for that. Francona did the right thing. The pitch count was low enough. If MDC came in and gave up a hit you'd be saying "Lester should not have been pulled so early." We've heard it before. Yawn. There should be a yawn smiley.

Is Gagne even available?

Hey, we scored! 1-1. Mlb.tv just came back on.

And boom. My mlb.tv goes down. I hate my life. It's 90 degrees IN my apartment in stinky Atlanta, no MLB package on TV because my cable company sucks. My computer sucks. I had to cancel my porn subscription because of Windows Media issues. My boss thinks I hate her. The Sox are down 1-0. I'm fat. Life sucks. I can barely muster a smiley

Well, 36 pitches to start the 4th for Lester. Is everyone happy now?

I really don't feel the sox need to make a deal by this trade deadline. The Sox only need a decent (5 inning) #5 guy and one is bound to show up on the waver wire next month.

You know, I used to work for Arte Moreno. He used to own the largest billboard company in the US. It was called Outdoor Systems Advertising. I was a graphic guy for them my first year out of school in 1997. s***** job. But Arte was cool. He was very communicative. One time during a run of layoffs nationwide (after years of record profits), he had a conference call set up so that all the Outdoor Systems plants could listen in as he named the names of the plants to be downsized. It was a lot like the NBA draft except if you were chosen, you were f***ed. Still, he seemed like a nice guy. He didn't have to do that.

Troup just said 90 minute rain delay

For the last week anyway, instead of showing the pregame show they show a graphic that says they're in a commercial break. So no. That's another issue that never used to be. I've never been able to watch the post game. Another problem I've been having is if you watch a game after it's officially over, the player stops buffering after about 10 minutes and I have to restart the broadcast and try and figure out the minute mark I was last watching (so if you watch it fullscreen, you have no idea what minute marker you were watching when the buffer stops). It is terribly annoying. I have to do this after every half inning! ugh. :angry: And yeah, you've got to cover the screen and close one eye on the sign in screen or else you'll probably see the final score somewhere on the page. On a related note, the gameday audio pisses me off too. It sounds like crap - not half as good as the normal weei stream. And after the gameday audio stops after the game, weei is still blacked out for a good 10-20 minutes. :dunno:

Well, Snyder has us in a 5-0 hole and the bats seem dead. Woohoo. Snyder seems like he'd be good for long relief. He'll go 3-4 innings before getting hammered.

You know, I've had to watch the last 5 games on mlb.tv. It's been probably 2 years since I had to use it to watch the Sox - I have the TV package now. But damn, it went downhill real fast. First, it's hanging up today for some reason. Second, why did they take out all the commercials? Third, and this is a biggy. No graphics? No graphics??!!!! I haven't seen a live score, inning, pitch or runners on graphic in almost a week. What the hell? Definitely not as good as it used to be.

RUDY!!!!!

6 runs in one inning has to be close to the season high.

I second that. And why is Tavarez up? This had better not be a showcase deal.

Trot goes trot?
