I think she has a really annoying voice though. Women in sports reporting really doesn't do it for me. Not being sexist or anything but often I have the feel that they don't know much about what they're talking about. The football sideline reporters would be the exception to that.
Lost in the atrocious offensive performance is the excellent outing by Wakefield today. He had 1 bad inning which could have gone differently if Bard had caught that strikeout and not allowed that passed ball. 78 out of 104 strikes is stellar though.
Well I'm positive Varitek will PH for Bard. Lowell should PH for Snow as Guardado is a lefty. I would keep Pena in there as I think he's a better option than Mohr. We'll see what happens though.
Time for my 1st GT of the year.

Interesting that Tito gives Loretta and Lowell days off on the same day that Wakefield is pitching so that Varitek is out of the lineup. This is a very weak lineup today in my opinion.
I've had a pretty even mix too. I've seen Pedro, Wells, Clement, Lowe, Arroyo, Suppan, Wake. Frank Viola pitched the 1st game I ever saw. Those are all I can remember for now.
I know I joined during a game against the Guardians because I think YH told me to join or something like that. It was May 12, 2004 and Cliff Lee and Tim Laker helped the Guardians to a 6-4 win.
Well it was kind of something like this.
Josh Beckett brings the heat...

Yeah it took me about 5 minutes to make.
I'm bored in desktop pub too now. I just made a tremendous advertisement saying that Josh Beckett brings the heat with Chile North Rajun Canajun Hot Sauce.
I'm not just picking on you here but we need to stop calling people Red. There are so many members on the site that can be called Red. One Red Seat, RedRuffing, See Red. We need a way to distinguish this. It's just been annoying me for a while. Carry on.
Just got back from the Celtics-Knicks game which fortunately only cost me an Iced Tea and and an Al Jefferson bobblehead for a ticket. Just a terrible basketball game from 2 bad teams. Me and my friend did sit at the table next to Tommy Heinsohn at The Fours after the game though.
