Ankiel went from being the Natural to being the UnNatural.

It seems that he was on a run count according to Francona.

After Bucholz loaded the bases, he and Papelbon just shut down the Orioles for 4 innings. Screw Gagne. Make Bucholz the setup guy for 2 innings 3 times a week.

This is a tough save situation. One run lead and he will be facing Markakis, Tejada and millar.

What a terrible choice!

Nice catch by Crisp! Great jump.

Do you believe this bum Drew!!

The kid must be leading a clean life, because things are going his way.

That would make too much sense.

He is immune.

DelCarmen gives up a lot of bombs.

El Capitan!!

Cue Dirty Water. Yes!!

When Manny comes back, I'd bench Drew's ass until Ellsbury loses the job. Drew has brought nothing to te table this season. He hasn't hit for average or power. He hasn't hit in the clutch. He has made some terrible fielding plays, and his base running is not good enough to warrant keeping him in the lineup, especially since Ellsbury is way faster.

Ellsbury's power projections may have been low.

IMO he's one of those guys like El Tiante who has a pitching IQ that is off the charts. Tiant was a big winner long after his heater had abandoned him. Pedro doesn't need to hit 90. He just needs to be healthy. He could figure out how to get hitters out if he had to throw left-handed.

I need to remind you of something: It's Pedro. He is unlike any other.

Timlin hasn't done well with inherited runners for quite some time, but he has been a very useful member of the pen. Due to his age, he can't handle 70+ appearances anymore, but I think he can help when pitching on a more infrequent basis. I'd re-sign him. He's not a big budget item.

I hope Tito doesn't burn out Okajima.

Timlin has been doing just fine. Okajima did the job, but he looked very fatigued. Did anyone else notice that?

Yeah, he'll probably tell him to avoid the 91 mph belt high fastball over the middle of the plate.

He was well off the bag when he caught the ball.

we need someone to push Hinske... off a cliff.
