Great job Drew. C'mon D-Peds!

Another nice play. At least we got a runner on third. C'mon Lugo. Show some life.

Jacko c'mon man. We're all very irritable. And by the way, I would bitch too if I had a toothache

I was thinking the same thing. It may be a blessing in disguise? Haha, what am I thinking? Ortiz coming out of the lineup at this point in time is never a good thing.

Nice hustle Manny...but we need you to drive the ball far.

The ump was trigger happy, and Ortiz was stupid. Nice hit by Drew, and nice job by Pedroia too. C'mon Wily Mo! Yanks down 1-0 on a Reyes RBI single.

Adam is the one person I would love to have these guys have a field day on. So please, make fun of him.

Lowell and Crisp for Hunter? Look, I would like that assuming your trade for Teixeira went through, but I highly doubt that the Twins give up Hunter considering the year he's having and that they won't be out of contention. Bowden and another prospect would get it done for Teixeira if the Rangers really are willing to part with him (with their needs at SP I can't see how they'd pass up Bowden), but that can only be done if we find a deal for Lowell or Youkilis. It's not in the Twins best interest to give up Hunter with the year he's having.

If we take 13 of those games with the way this team has been playing I'll be thanking God.

Ugh. Please tell me you're not being serious and that you missed the part where he photoshopped his picture...

I call dibs on tomorrow's gamethread. I'm getting my f***ing mojo going. That is all.

I agree with benching Coco. He's done nothing but suck. I can give up some defense to have a bat in the lineup that has the potential to crank one into NH at any given moment. That said, WMP isn't a horrendous defensive CF, he's average. He's below average at the corners. For some reason he can read the ball off the bat a little better in CF. That said, I would rather have Ellsbury called up. He's already shown that he can rake at all the levels he's been at so far, and he's adjusted relatively quickly from what I remember. He would be a better bat than Crisp and he'd be just as good a defender, if not better, than Crisp. Next, I think you have to leave Lugo at SS. Sure, he sucks major cock, but so does Cora given regular playing time. At least Lugo has some speed. And, if he's batting in the 9 hole, he's where the sucky players are supposed to be. I think Drew can find his way out of the slump more than the other guys can. My ideal lineup: Ellsbury Pedroia Ortiz Ramirez Lowell Youkilis Drew Varitek Lugo If no Ellsbury, then: Youkilis Pedroia Ortiz Ramirez Lowell Pena Drew Varitek Lugo I liked CrespoBlows's lineup from the other thread. As far as trades go, I have no idea. I would ship Lugo out and eat his salary if it means bringing in an upgrade. I would also package Coco with someone else to beef up the bullpen a bit, or land a nice starter (thereby giving Lester the year in AAA and filling a hole in the rotation next year).

Again, Fire_Theo part 2. But I think you're more sincere than he was, and I really believe that was out of frustration. So, I will forgive you.

You are so Fire_Theo it isn't even funny. If you didn't come off as so f***ing aggressive, people would pay attention to you. But everytime you come here it's because you're 100% right and everyone else is wrong and we should all just bow down and eat your s***. Give me a f***ing break. You're only here when you're bitching. MAYBE if you were willing to listen to what other people have to say we'd take you more seriously.

With the Sox' loss and the Angels' win, both teams are now tied for the best record in the bigs. The Angels have won and lost one more game than the Sox.

Thank God this series is basically over.

My perfect lineup? Ellsbury Pedroia Ortiz Ramirez Drew Lowell Youkilis Varitek Lugo EDIT: Eh, Drew was brought here to be the 5 hitter and I'm going to keep him there.

Fire_Theo anyone?

If Lugo can do something, I like our chances this inning. Thank God we got Francis out of there.

Nothing going whatsoever. This team is dead and they desperately need a fire lit under their asses. No timely hitting.

I really don't care about the Sox Appeal dates. I can watch that on TV later if I care. Granted, I love it when Don and Jerry laugh uncontrollably because it's hilarious, but show me the game please. 1st and 2nd with 1 down. We strike here. Come on Youk!

Well, Beckett couldn't have been this good all season. He's due for a bad game every now and then...I'm surprised one of these outings hasn't come sooner. Anyway, this offense can score 6.
