  1. The Red Sox are going to have to play Lowell at 3B for an extended period.
  2. http://www.baseballmusings.com/cgi-bin/LineupAnalysis.py?Player0=Pedroia&OBA0=+0.376&Slug0=+0.437&Player1=Youkilis&OBA1=+0.424&Slug1=+0.564&Player2=Bay&OBA2=+0.382&Slug2=+0.508&Player3=Drew&OBA3=+0.371&Slug3=+0.446&Player4=Lowell&OBA4=+0.341&Slug4=+0.495&Player5=Martinez&OBA5=+0.363&Slug5=+0.461&Player6=Ellsbury&OBA6=+0.348&Slug6=+0.406&Player7=Kotchman&OBA7=+0.354&Slug7=+0.413&Player8=Green&OBA8=+0.302&Slug8=+0.376&Model=1 According to this lineup simulator, an optimum Red Sox lineup can be expected to score up to 5.7 runs per game. They use OBP and SLG, which have the highest correlation with runs scored. Adding Varitek and Ortiz cuts the production by .2 runs per game. Given that Tito has a fondness for batting Ortiz fifth, or even sixth, it is obvious what the Red Sox need to do if they want to score more runs to compensate for their lack of pitching. Bench Papi. Bench Varitek.
  3. Do you really have to say this?
  4. Too bad the Jays can't pitch.
  5. Again, J_E inability to read hampers his ability to respond rationally. I believe many people have told you knock it off with the lolcats, including several moderators. Am I incorrect when I say this?
  6. Drew played fantastic last year, and is playing pretty good this year.
  7. Nope, the ball was over the wall.
  8. To be fair, J.D. Drew has put up very good defensive numbers his last two years with the Red Sox. He was atrocious in 2007, but he put up a +6.4 UZR in 2008, and has already up to a +8.0 this year.
  9. This s*** doesn't even make any sense. You can type whatever you want to under the cat, and you dumb f***s will still laugh, just because it's a damn cat. You guys love your 12 year old humor. Considering a twelve-year-old triggered the meme.
  10. How many times do you have to be admonished about lolcats, but continue to post them? GO TO f***ING 4CHAN or LOLCATS.COM!
  11. Should have made that ban permanent.
  12. Thank you for proving my point.
  13. We've found our new DH. 1B - Kotchman 3B - Youkilis DH - Lowell
  14. Plently of people get plunked and don't charge the mound.
  15. Nope. I'm walking to 1B. Youkilis is obviously different than me, but I'd think about the five game suspension I'd get for charging the mound.
  16. Tazawa is blowing them away.
  17. If he's human, then I would hope that he would think that losing his bat for five days is a huge blow to his team during a pennant run.
  18. Boras is a revolutionary. Hail Scott Boras.
  19. Kid looks pretty good these last three innings.
  20. I was talking in hindsight. I would have gone with Lowrie. Well, actually Hanley Ramirez.
  21. Porcello will get 6, Youk will probably get 4 or 5.
  22. Orlando Cabrera would have been good, but I can't blame him for wanting to go with Lowrie.
