riverside sluggers

even the great reliever that he is, Dennis Eckersley was on NESN pre-game report on Friday and said "I dont mean to say this, but even I have questions to this sudden streak hes had since beginning of July. I mean he's really bulked up since spring training"

Wake continues to roll, despite the solo homerun (2 hits allowed total), hes struck out 6 in first 4 innings

RJ up to 62 pitches so far, Sox batters still making him work, they should connect soon for some runs

ah thats right "one red seat" how could i ever forget

ugh dont start again with Red Sox always getting favored calls.

if Trot was in right that wouldve been caught or just a double

Ortiz has an aching back and Id rather have him at full health up at bat

We are laughing about RJ on his period it seems, and Giambi hits yet another homerun. but yet youd like to see RJ give Ortiz a concussion, how are you keeping things in perspective again?

its not intimidating to watch him today, its rather comical--barking out words at sox batters and pumping his fist, oh please--haha i got you now RJ, your ex team mate Schil had made your Yanks look bad yesterday, want to pay him back...

is RJ asking for a bench clearing brawl between the two teams

you do realize this is a Red Sox forum game thread? if you dont like what I say and others say, dont reply or leave altogether

let alone it was a one-handed swing

the juice at it again

that replay of RJ staring down Johnny Damon after a bunt attempt, how f***ing pathetic is that

Sox still made RJ work, throwing 18 pitches 1st inning--what the hell was that fist pump after 1st out of the game? RJ you diluted old fool there's still a lot of baseball left to play

what a lineup today is, but with no Big Papi Boston 1) Johnny Damon dh 2) Edgar Renteria ss 3) Kevin Youkilis 1b 4) Manny Ramirez lf 5) Kevin Millar rf 6) Tony Graffanino 2b 7) Doug Mirabelli c 8) Bill Mueller 3b 9) Gabe Kapler cf NY Yankees 1) Derek Jeter ss 2) Ronisnon Cano 2b 3) Jason Giambi 1b 4) Alex Rodriguez 3b 5) Hideki Matsui lf 6) Jorge Posada dh 7) Bernie Williams cf 8) John Flaherty c 9) Bobby Crosby rf

he has an aching back, he should be available in late innings as a pinch hitter, and will most likely be back for tomorrows game

the AL East in 2006 I believe, as seen this season, wont be just the Sox and yankees as it has been for the past century. with better pitching the Orioles, Blue Jays and Devil Rays will be all be formidable foes

go to YES boards and tell me again how little hatred there is towards Red Sox fans...

Guardians have the wild card lead at 1 1/2 games over NY by beating the Twins 7-5

if trying to slap the ball out of the pitchers or 1st baseman's gloves is legal, how come that is not done so much even in big important games?

i know its been said alot but him cheating by slapping the ball out of Bronson's glove then start to act like he did nothing wrong, i lost if any repect for him

Coco Crisp's single with the bases loaded has just brought in 2 to take the 4-2 lead---Oakland is currently ahead of the Texas Rangers 4-1 in the 3rd inning

Cleveland and Minnesota are tied again at 2 thru the 5th inning, Guardians' Johnny Peralta hit a solo jack to right field to tie it up
