  1. Nice job by the pen, too. I'll take 1 R per 5.2 IP all season long. Shame Timmay didn't get the W, though.
  2. You might want to change your avvy to something more appropriate... like Bay crossing the plate with the game-winning run in the bottom of the 12th. Just a friendly suggestion Side note: Props to Lowrie, who had both RBIs, are due as well.
  3. Both runs. He sux.
  4. Meh. Okajima wants the win for himself, I guess.
  5. And a round of applause for MDC. As usual, I'm too lazy to look up stats (hey, at least I admit it upfront), but am I right in thinking that MDC has been pretty effective recently after a rough stretch earlier?
  6. Come on, MDC, don't foul up Timmay's very nice start.
  7. Anybody remember the last time our LF saved a run with a diving catch? I can't tell you exactly when it was, but I'd bet that Felix Hernandez or Joba Chamberlain was the opposing pitcher...
  8. a700, you've quoted me as "Bea neater" instead of "Beaneater". Is this some sort of suggestion that I should be cleaner and more organized?
  9. Given the crazy factor, I was thinking more like jamming his bare hand (left hand -- gotta protect that pitching arm) directly into someone's torso and removing the pancreas. But a roundhouse kick is OK too.
  10. I feel compelled to mention here that growing up in a poor country =/= daily battle royales to get your food. Being Dominican doesn't necessarily make Papi any tougher. Being a large professional athlete, as someone mentioned, does. Of course, pretty much everyone on both teams is a large professional athlete. And if crazy goes a long way in a fight (and I think you're probably right, though admittedly I have zero experience in the area), who wants a piece of Paps? He's a large dude. And he is undeniably crazy.
  11. Who could Pedroia take? I'd say Ponson. Pedroia is a professional athlete; Ponson looks like... well... me.
  12. "Yeah, I'm pretty much going to take K-Rod deep here in this nearly meaningless situation. 'Cause, you know, I can." I know this has been said before, but here goes: Manny is an annoying and distracting headcase, but what a magnificent headcase.
  13. Rough night at the dish for Duddy. Hey, at the very least we got the meat of the lineup in order for the 9th, instead of 8-9-1 as we would have had by meekly going in order in the 8th.
  14. Kilo asketh, Kilo receiveth. EDIT: This time, at least...
  15. Sometimes I hear people saying, "Of course we know that umpiring is subjective to some extent. But that's what adds the precious human element to baseball!" I think that's rot. The human element in baseball should be limited to whether or not Lester can just catch the bottom of the strike zone with a diving curve, or whether or not Ortiz can get enough on that outside pitch to make it a double off the wall rather than a routine fly. If they could replace umps with robots (or, more prosaically, cameras) that got the calls right every time, I'd be all for it. That would let the real human element, that of the players, shine through.
  16. If he gives up a single 2-out baserunner every inning, I'll be satisfied.
  17. I dunno. I'm "watching" the game on GameCast, and it's showing all of those pitches right down the gut. Strike 3 to Lowell couldn't have been closer to the center of the zone if you used a protractor and compass. Strikes 2 and 3 to Drew showed as well within the zone. Now you're all saying that the umpire was calling anything and everything a strike. So what's going on here?
  18. 8 up 8 down on 27 pitches. Daaaaaaaang.
  19. I predict that Masterson will help the bullpen . Enters the game with one out and two on, retires 5 straight. That's, um, not exactly what we've gotten from the pen most of this year.
  20. Well, strange game, anyway. It was up in the air as late as mid-6th. Then we scored 12 runs. I do like that part.
  21. I'm going out on a limb and saying that we win this one. Every Sox starter has a hit (at least two, in fact, other than Moss), and each has at least a run. Nasty. Is Dave McCarty available to pitch the 9th?
  22. Oh my goodness, just quit already!
