    I wanted to use my first post in about 23 years to point something out: only the Sox are keeping whoever made these odds from looking like total blithering idiots. Yanks ranked higher than Guardians... Guardians win. Cubs ranked higher than D-Backs... D-backs win. Phillies ranked higher than Rockies... Rockies win. D-Backs ranked higher than Rockies... Rockies win. You could do better flipping a coin.

    Just finishing what he started in Game 1, where anything a Yankees pitcher threw got called a strike. Sigh.

    Anyone else see Wasdin's line last night in the Rangers-Angels game? 8.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER. Yes, I know that it's just a single data point, but I remember when he was giving up taters out of the pen for us, someone looked at his stats and made the cogent remark that he's a starting pitcher, not a reliever. Looks like he had a pretty good start last night. Any chance we could trade for him?
  4. Beaneater
    And we end up with the worst of both worlds. Not only did we not win, but our other relievers (minus Myers and [sort of] Timlin) stunk it up so bad that this will be chalked up as a 'bullpen loss', not an 'Embree loss'. Man, our bullpen... when they're on, they're on, but when they're not, oh my it is a dreadful thing to see.

    The beautiful thing about Millar's HR (other than the HR itself) is that it assures that Ortiz will bat in the 9th. The Angels are probably still having flashbacks from last year...
  6. Beaneater
    Yeah, now we're forced to have yet another come from behind victory. Those are getting soooo boring .
  7. Beaneater
    Teams should absolutely not pitch to Ortiz with the game on the line. If he comes up with a chance to win it, just walk him or hit him. Good gracious that guy is ridiculous. EDIT: And Foulke gets the win...
  8. Beaneater
    Great minds think alike.

    You know, I was going to say something sarcastic, but really this site can use a little feminine input. So that's cool. Though I'm not totally sure I understand the Mark Bellhorn obsession. Can one of you two ladies (at least I'm hoping you're ladies) explain this to me? The way I sees it, he's a relatively well-built guy, like many baseball players (David Wells, for instance... uh... or Rich Garces... er...), but he's kind of greasy and scruffy looking, no? But, hey, I'm just a guy, so maybe I'm missing out on his charm and such. So (though I fear I'm opening the floodgates here) what is it about Bellhorn? Oh, I have an idea -- your favorite letter is K, and Bellhorn provides you with a lifetime supply . No? That's not it?
  10. Beaneater
    I wish we could clone Timlin.
  11. Beaneater
    Well, he was conceived shortly after I signed up. Hmmm... maybe that can be an advertisement for talksox.com. Sign up and increase your fertility! (Or maybe it was that kewl necklace I started wearing around the same time... .)
  12. Beaneater
    Uh, I just changed my avatar and sig. Does that count? No? Well, maybe I'll mail everyone on the site one of my "amazing" "wow, that almost works!" "energy" necklaces... for a small donation, of course.
  13. Beaneater
    Thanks Yeszir, you beat me to it. But if you're still interested, 04redsoxram, I'll gladly sell you a superb 100%-effective energy necklace for only, say, $29.95. I absolutely POSITIVELY guarantee that it works AT LEAST as well as the ones the Red Sox wear. Hurry! This offer won't last long! Take advantage of my bargain basement prices and bulk discounts! (Now I just have to stick a couple of quarters in the trinket vending machine at the local grocery store in order to stock up on my trusty "patented" "energy" "necklaces" .)
  14. Beaneater
    Here. Of course, we're an hour later than our East Coast brethren, so it's not quite as ridiculous for us to be up at this hour... close, but not quite.
  15. Beaneater
    Errrrrr... I guess we'll take it. E-3, and a run scores. EDIT: And more sloppy A's defense nets more runs. Nice clutch hit by Rent, though. He doesn't seem to be as useless as I thought. EDIT again: But what the heck is up with Ortiz and Manny punching out to end the inning? EDIT yet again (I don't feel like filling up this page with my avatar, so since I'm the only one here, I'm just serially editing my last post): Dang fine outing by the oft maligned Alan Embree - 5 up, 5 down. EDIT - The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I get on the A's behalf. In the 8th, we collectively hit one single, but we scored 4 runs. That's worse than embarrassing, that's, uh, well, really bad or something. It's too late to think of synonyms. EDIT - A win. Nice late-inning comeback (with a hat tip to the A's lousy pitching and defense), nice hitless holds from Embree and Timlin, nice save from Foulke... and nice work by Beaneater keeping this thread off life-support!
  16. Beaneater
    HBP and two BB to start the 8th. Don't squander this, boys! That brings up Bellhorn, who is... 0-0 tonight with 3 BB??? What the heck -- don't people know that there's no point nibbling with Bellhorn? He's obviously got a good eye (a lot of BBs), and he OBVIOUSLY swings and misses a lot. So... throw him strikes, eh?
  17. Beaneater
    Is it just me, or is Trot mashing the ball recently?
  18. Beaneater
    TROT!!! The grand salami, and Myers, as (ahem) predicted earlier, is in line for the win.
  19. Beaneater
    Bellhorn doubles, Mueller scores, the deficit is cut to one run. That just made soxie's night.
  20. Beaneater
    Wade was looking pretty hot until he gave up the pair of homers. Now it's time for our hitters to bail him out so Myers can get the win! (Hey, we've been distributing wins to strange people recently [Foulke], so why not Myers?)
  21. Beaneater
    The Voice of Reason. Pineiro's line looks awful for the M's... until you look as Gonzalez's.
  22. Beaneater
    Sounds about right.
  23. Beaneater
    Yeah, I was about to bust on the D-Backs because the Rockies (the Rockies!!!) scored 18 runs on them today, but we're on track to have about the same done to us by the M's. Gruesome.
  24. Beaneater
    We're trying... but I have to say that you're doing a great job holding down the fort by yourself. This way, we don't have to answer that age-old question, "What if they made a gameday thread and nobody came?"
  25. Beaneater
    Totally. Even Myers or Timlin would be fairer. But like I (ahem) predicted (OK, I didn't predict it, just brought up the possibility), this is the sort of situation that shows just how meaningful a pitcher's record is. Heck, Randy Johnson was arguably the best pitcher in the NL last year, but he doesn't win the Cy Young because of his teammates' inability to hit the ball. What does that have to do with Johnson's pitching? Nuffin. Clement and Arroyo both deserved wins, but I think they're both the kind of guys that don't really care a whole lot about that (well, I don't know anything about Clement, but Arroyo is a team guy). The people who are important (namely, the Red Sox and their fans) know which pitchers 'won' the last two games.
