2 out rally time!

Middlebrooks needs more time IMO. Pedey had a s***** April then went on to win MVP, if I'm not mistaken.

Buch needs to tighten the f*** up!

No. The on the field stuff doesn't seem as sharp this season. Missing routine stuff imo.

PAPI PAPI PAPI!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that was Carp's fault too?

:lol: I'm watching and doing house work.

Youngsters......

Tighten up Clay!

Where's RSFFL? WMB swinging at the first pitch...LOL

Salty!! WOW!!!

Did NESN hire new cameramen? Good Lord!

Carp!

MLB Extra Innings is asleep at the wheel. Game still isn't on. Watching on my computer. VERY nice start!!!!

Victorino is day-to-day with back injury Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff April 25, 2013 04:03 PM Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino is out of the lineup after experiencing back spasms in the sixth inning Wednesday. It was the same condition that caused him to miss two games last weekend. Manager John Farrell said Victorino is day-to-day, but the Sox will wait until he is symptom-free before playing him again.

wth? :dunno:

I'm surprised it didn't include some random incoherent rant about the NYY.

From the Globe: • Ryan Lavarnway is here only temporarily. With Alfredo Aceves sent to Pawtucket, the Sox decided to use the roster spot to add a bench player for three days. Every indication is that John Lackey will be ready to start Sunday. Lavarnway would return to Triple A when Lackey is activated.

I didn't know all that. Damn!

Perfect game, that's right. 0-4 now. Hope he doesn't break out tomorrow.

:thumbsup: Didn't Humber throw a no-no once?

I like it!
