Hmm, maybe Lowell can have his "Manny moments" as well. Just seen several replays of the first inning with bases loaded. He was jogging and then held up right before he got to 1st base
EDIT: Tito says he might be resting 2 starters to "recharge". One of those players is Manny who is 19 for 47 against Ponson, thats a .404 avg
f*** you offense for tonight, 14 baserunners and you can get just 1 measly run across. Just disgusting
Curt Schilling vs Sydney Ponson, are you going to hit the way youre supposed to?... or hit like a single A team you did just now?
The Sox have had 7 hits, 6 walks... one run
EDIT: 11 men left on base, disgusting showing by the offense today. Last chance in the 9th against Nathan-- Lugo, Youkilis, Ortiz
Way to go dusty, on base 3 times- Single, RBI Double, Walk
EDIT: That was weird. After Lugo struck out
The 1st base ump naturally held his fist up in the air, representing a punch out naturally. But he held his fist up in the air while walking down the 1st base line
Lugo followed by pushing the catcher Redmond out of the way
Even without Wily Mo's error, Tavarez will still be where he's at right now because of his control problems that inning. He's a passable spot starter but not one that should be in there for the season's length
I will give him credit where its due pitching better than expected his last 2 games
Tavarez meltdown time
Getting tired of NESN & Boston writers touting him as a solid starter this year, hopefully this makes them wonder about what theyve been smoking
To date- 7.04 ERA
23 innings, 25 Hits, 18 Runs, 4 HRs, 10 Walks, 16 Ks
Ortiz didnt go at all on that "strike" call by the 3rd base ump
Surprised he wasnt thrown out. Haha wow, Ortiz yelled out of the dugout "this is horseshit"

Sox Yanks opening day showdown in 2008... hmm it just might be possible of happening
Not sure how I feel about this
Thats how you break up a no-no in the 8th with 1 down!
EDIT: What the hell? The Yankees get the bases loaded with no outs on 2 occasions, just getting 2 runs total
Drew has hit in his last couple of games (yesterday RBI single, today got a triple and scored an insurance run). Still got faith in Pedroia. Its kind of hard right now for him to get into a groove with Cora off to a hot start at the plate. If his playing time becomes too inconsistent they might have to start thinking about sending him down to Triple A for more ABs
Nice pitching boys! Sox shut out the Twins 2-0, imrpoving their AL best record to 19-9
Bullpen behind Papelbon continues to hold their own, Paps meanwhile started to rebound as he was touching 95/96 on the radar. That first out almost gave me a heart attack but he still settled down the side
Wake did enough yet again to give his boys a chance to get the W. He has just been great this season
