What a way to blow apart a bull pen--- play an 11 or 12 inning game in which you only get 1 inning from your starter. Great!!!

Who pitches?

When he goes to Right Field, he has a tendency to use only his arms with nothing behind it.

More Ziegler?

He's never been a hard thrower. 86-89 is about the top of his range.

Beautiful play by Pedroia to rob Crosby!

Who is next out of the pen?

Papi still looking like s***.

1 wild pitch?

I'll take two wild pitches.

Need a clutch hit.

What are the Vegas odds that Velasquez goes yard?

The only thing that I hate more than getting less than 4 hours of sleep. It's getting less than 4 hours of sleep after a Red Sox loss.

if he isn't hurt, then he just sucks. He has showed nothing in his 2 regular season starts and his last spring start. Nice play by J.D. running right by the ball.

Masterson is doing what a pitcher is supposed to do with a s***** lineup. He's tearing through them.

You don't invest $100 million in a pitcher and then let him pitch in a meaningless tournament before the season starts. It's moronic.

Three icons who made their fame in the mid-70's died this week. Fidrych was the brightest baseball star in 1976. He was such a phenomenon that he is still remembered and admired more than 30 years after his very short career. Kallas became the voice of NFL films in the mid-70's. I don't live in Philly so I don't connect him or his voice with baseball. He was the voice of the NFL week after week for decades. The last mid-70's icon to perish this week was Marilyn Chambers who revolutionized adult films with Behind the Green Door. The cause of her death as with Kallas and Fidrych will be determined by autopsy.

They are completely convinced that he is the real deal. I think he'll fine tune his stuff and after a couple of more starts he'll start dominating again.

He was quite a character. I've never seen one player create such excitement in a town. Detroit was a crappy team and he had that town going wild. I remember a nationally televised Monday night game against the Yankees in 1976. He beat the Yankees on a complete game. I think he threw a three hitter or something. He was talking to the ball and telling it where to go. He was a novelty. he brought a tremendous amount of energy to the game. After the game, no one left Tiger stadium until he came out of the clubhouse to acknowledge the crowd. When he came out to greet the crowd, he was like a giddy schoolboy. There was nothing contrived about him. He was completely genuine and childlike. He had no idea who he was pitching to. After that game, the MFer Yankees were complaining that he had showed up Munson, because he showed Munson the ball after he caught Munson's come backer. When the writers told the Bird that he Munson felt that he had showed him up, Friedrich looked puzzled and said "which one is Munson?" He wasn't being snide. He just didn't know anyone's name. He was special --- a bright star that burned out way too quickly.

He was also the voice of NFL films.

i didn't get to see much of tonight's game. Was Lester dicking around with his new changeup. He had just learned to master his current arsenal and he was tearing through the league. WTF made him think he needed an additional pitch at this point?

8th inning against Shields was a killer. After walking the first two batters and showing no command, Drew swings at the first pitch, doesn't get around on it and pops out. Then Lowell swings at a 2-0 pitch and fouls out to third. What a botched inning!! BTW I guess Chris Carter is going to rot on the bench. There were at least two opportunities for him to PH, Tito sat on his hands.

Welcome to both of you.

he probably got it from jerking off Red Sox management during his FA contract negotiations.

Whew!!!! GAme over! Why would Varitek let him throw so many pitches over the plate with 0-2 count? I guess maybe he has become an offensive-orientd catcher.
