I remember looking at the paper one morning (this was back when they had newspapers) and seeing that Nomar had 10 RBI the night before: two grannies and a two-run HR. That made him pretty legendary in my eyes. (And if I'm remembering that wrong, don't tell me because it's a beautiful memory.) [Haha! Just found it. May 10, 1999.] And I remember in the '99 postseason against Cleveland, one night he just terrorized the Guardians' pitching staff all game long. Finally near the end of the game they IBBed him and then Troy O'Leary killed the ball. Pick your poison. Anyway, those are the moments that really draw you to a player. EDIT: Oops, got that second memory entirely backwards. They had IBBed Nomar twice and O'Leary had hit HRs both times right afterward. So late in the game they finally pitched to Nomar (with 1st base open) and he cracked an RBI double. Thank you, intarwebs, for correcting my memory.

Dice-K run support strikes again. Maybe if we wrote Matsuzaka on the back of every pitcher's uni, we'd score 11 runs every game.

Uh oh. I killed the thread.

Payback for Napoli. That reduces his average against us to .986, if memory serves.
-
LAA should forfeit now or else their bullpen is going to end up throwing 250 pitches.
-
Ba-doom bing. That's actually a pretty good one. How about, "We're rioting because no one is giving us free money!"

οἶδα γὰρ τὴν προθυμίαν ὑμῶν ἣν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶνκαυχῶμαι Μακεδόσιν, ὅτι Ἀχαΐα παρεσκεύασταιἀπὸ πέρυσι, καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν ζῆλος ἠρέθισεν τοὺςπλείονας. I dunno, I'm just in smartass mode tonight.

Wow. I'm a glass-half-full guy, but somehow sweeping a 4 game series doesn't seem so impressive when the opposition plays like a bunch of drunken halfwits.
-
Oh, right. Uh, three... And a half. I think.
-
How many big rallies have included a Youk HBP?
-
Frickin' Napoli. How is it that guys can go all berserker on one specific team? I mean, I guess it makes sense that with several hundred players compiling "Player X vs. Team Y" stats, you're going to have some outliers. Sucks when you're on the wrong end of it, though.

Just the ones on odd-numbered Thursdays. All-time there are a lot more .

This team's offense suxx.
-
Well, it's a hypothetical situation since I'm in Africa, but it would be a pretty sweet sign, no?

You do know we're 3rd in MLB in 2B, 3rd in HR, 5th in OBP, 2nd in SLG, and 3rd in OPS, right? EDIT: And that's WITH Hall, McDonald, and super-cold Ortiz getting a big chunk of ABs. We will score runs.
-
Why? Is Dice pitching again?
-
8 pitches, 8 strikes, 3 outs. Maybe he wasn't aware that the 1st inning actually counts. He just thought he was doing a little pre-game warm-up with batters.
-
RIP Big Papi avatar mojo baby!
-
Yeah, I didn't plan on it and I probably wouldn't have if the game hadn't been close and interesting. But it's fun to do every once in a while. Ugh, past 2 AM here and I'm not sleepy at all. It's going to be a long day tomorrow.
-
Even with the early-season starts it's going to be microscopic. But without them, you're right, it's going to be filthy. That's a pleasantly stress-free inning for Paps.
-
Anyone else think Lester's ERA is going to be microscopic by late August?
-
Uh, what is up with the LAA bullpen? Strike zone, anyone?
-
Mike Lowell has ball of steel.
