  1. "Because my catcher didn't understand that the opposing pitcher couldn't find the strike zone with a topographic map, and so hit a weak groundout instead of at least making the guy throw one strike." Eh... might make his catcher unhappy. But it would be fun to watch!
  2. It's pretty rough. I think I'm pretty much done with my extended look at Drew 2: Electric Boogaloo. I know, I know, Papi started slow a couple of years and he's back to being the beast he was, but Drew doesn't exactly have Papi's resum?. WMD needs to get his head in the game. Everyone who watches him knows what his problem is. He and the coaches need to fix it. Carp and Ciriaco ought to be playing tonight. EDIT: Clearly, as UN says the Hawaiian should be playing tonight, if possible. If not, Carp. Or do we really, really not want to see Carp in the OF?
  3. Got 'em set up for the triple play. All is working according to plan.
  4. Gomes at least has some pop. Which one of WMD and Drew is going to get on to give him a puncher's chance?
  5. Dang it, Nava, that wasn't a HR! Probably Gomes' fault somehow. Or Drew's.
  6. That's extra-happy news, then, because I got to eat them and you didn't have to!
  7. In other happier news, I'm right at the end of my second delicious tree-ripened West African mango. Ahhhh... Africa's not all bad.
  8. Gomes needs to get on in the bottom half for the inevitable late-inning Nava HR. ...uh, I mean, the inevitable late-inning DP because Nava sucks and has not hit a ball hard all year.
  9. Dempster's doing the Dice-K. Don't start pitching until there are guys on, preferably in scoring position. Tap dance in and out of trouble all day. The difference seems to be that Dempster isn't running up the pitch count as profligately as Dice-K. Plus he has better beard (at least in his GameCast pic; no idea what he actually looks like now).
  10. Ugh. Frustrating quick innings for the offense. Looked like Santana was going to be gone by 4-5 innings and now he's on cruise control heading for the 7th or so. But like someone said, just takes one good inning.
  11. They are, but that's not what the original source said. It said (paraphrasing), "It's unfair, but we ask whether or not Iggy would have gotten to a given ball." That's not unfair. But I understand your point.
  12. Could we get the Santana from innings one and two back?
  13. Sure, I agree with that. It would be unfair if we were all yelling, "Iggy would definitely have had that!", because, as you say, we don't know that. It's not unfair to ask the question.
  14. Not sure what's unfair about that. That's just the sort of thing that folks should be thinking about in order to determine whether Iggy should be playing.
  15. Maybe I could be like the twelfth person to say it. I blame my slow 3rd world internet connection.
  16. The streak is over. First Sox starter all year to give up 4+ runs. Sad face.
  17. I wish the rest of the AL East would just stop winning for a while. I mean, we're streaking here, all you other teams! Please be kind enough to lose around half of your games so we can bury you in the standings. Thank you in advance. --Beaneater
  18. I'd like to see about 10 innings of the KC bullpen today. That would be great.
  19. I forgot to mention one thing in the GT. Babyfaced Assassin strikes again!
  20. Let's get A-Rod for the ceremony too just to be sure. Plus anyone on the Yankees who is over 40 years old and inexplicably has multiple home runs this year.
  21. We've got good relief this year. Like, really good relief. We just need someone who can pitch the 9th as well as he can pitch the 7th. I'm just throwing crud out here because I don't really know as much about baseball as many of you, but is Morales a possibility when he gets back? I know he's got swing-and-miss stuff, but does he have what it takes to go get three tough outs in the ninth?
  22. Have we had any clean saves this year? You know, ones that don't make you reach for the Imodium? I think we had one against the Guardians... I mean, it's nice that we usually end up winning, so far, but you're right, iortiz, we need someone who can get it done pretty much every time, and painlessly most of the time.
  23. Maybe a nice shellacking tomorrow, please, Sox? You know, just to get the blood pressure down?
  24. To make the score 4-2. That can't be a coincidence.
