Yahoo box score says "M. Kotsay hit an inside the park home run to center". Anyone see it? Is this real, or creative scorekeeping? That ballpark doesn't lend itself to inside the park HR's.

Barry Zito, at all costs. If we don't out bid the Yankees, we'll see him in pinstripes and have to face him 4-5 times next year.

I heard a rumor that he is going to Wrigley. As a Cub fan (hey, I like misery in both leagues!), I hope so.

Were you able to actually get on while b4 the 4th quarter? I ask because, now that they are up, the consensus is "they were down." There is a thread dedicated to the outage on patsfans.com. The hosting site was up (traceroute confirmed this) but the [v]host wasn't responding to SYN (according to tcpdump).

Is Patsfans down? The Sox started, I switched over to NESN and the Pats scored. I've been trying to get over to patsfans to find out what happened and I'm getting connection timouts. Anyone else on?

I think the Sox would keep Trot for "the right price". If, like Damon, both sides are far apart on what the price is, Nixon is history here. I like your idea though. I think this could work. If Nixon has a hidden ego, he can "save face" with a contract that has lots of $$$ if he produces. If Manny goes, things may change as well.

Is patsfans.com down? Its been slow of late, but I thought Ian addressed that. I can't get to it at all today. Can anyone else?

Great, but I was asking about professional baseball players, especially MLB.

Does anyone here know the (rough) details on the arrangement MLB has with the Federal Government with repsect to all these non-citizens working in the USA? Is it the same sort of thing my company would need (e.g. H1B) for example or do pro sports (which includes the farm systems I would guess) have their own deal?

I've been though this back in '78. Yanks blew their comeback then remember. It's not over until the math says it is. Note that the Tigers, OtherSox and Twins all have to beat up on each other a bit. The WC from the central isn't a sure thing. Lots of baseball to play still. Anyone who has given up that wants to sell the tickets, just let me know.

With Hinske starting in RF today, given he has at least another year on his contract, we probably will not re-sign Nixon I hope I'm wrong though.

More good news... Yankees just tied Seattle. 2-2 bottom of the 7th

Anyone know how many times a pitcher has had their seasons "personal best" against the Sox lineup this year?

I wonder if KC will ever get anohter hit?

Who is rather hot this month. I guess they hope for a force play

Is it starting to rain @ Fenway? It is up north (Andover)

It takes Seanez just a few pitches to ruin a good happy hour.

Can't we trade him for that Israeli soldier held hostage?

I saw this while tracking the game via yahoo (I'm in work) R. Seanez relieved T. Wakefield I thought it was a joke . Before I could ask if this was true here, he already let a run score. So my new question.... Y

We hope. That is looking on the bright side though.

Good thing TB stinks. They had us on the ropes and ran into the final out of the game. Not smart.
