I think it was a couple of years ago when he leg muscle tightness from his home run trot and he asked to come out of the game. Tito had no one left on the bench so he told him that he had to go back out there.
The Ump has to let some things go. Unless Beltre accused him of having a bet on the game, he didn't need to toss him. I hate umps that are so confrontational.
Beltre is an idiot. Did the ump try to rub his head or something? This game has blowout written all over it. Maybe I'll watch Halladay and the Phillies.
There goes the ground we gained. We should just forfeit this game to save the bullpen for the weekend. It would also save Wake from further embarrassment.
Odds of him putting the ball in play against Felix -- 3 to 1
Odds of him getting the ball out of the infield against Felix -- 5 to 1
Odds of him getting a hit against Felix 20 to 1
Yes, that's the guy. Chase Wright with the back to back to back to backers. A great inning in Red Sox history.
This is great. An afternoon win. The Tampa game should keep me busy until the night game.
Nava and McDonald won the first game for us.
I didn't realize that Tampa was playing an afternoon game today. They are down 4-1 in the second inning. If Paps doesn't do a Papelblown, we have a shot of gaining ground, although the Tampa game has a long way to go.
