I think that we should make a poll out of this.

How odd and depressing is it that Ortiz has our only hit of the game?

Yes. Besides, intentionally hitting baseball players is within the rules as well. So if you're going to cite the rules in your support of bunting during a no hitter, then you'd also have to cite the rules to support hitting batters. And breaking up a no hitter/perfect game may not be forbidden within the de jure rules, but it is not within the de facto rules. That's what you haven't been understanding this entire thread. It's a f***** unwritten rule. Meaning that bunting to break up a no hitter/perfect game is NOT within the f***** rules of the game. It's just an unwritten rule that forbids it. Intentionally hitting a batter in the head may be worse than bunting to break up the no hitter, but it's still within the rules, so by your logic, you'd have to support it or else you'd be hypocritical in addition to being incorrect. Besides, if you don't want to be intentionally hit in the head, then simply don't cheat and try and get on base cheaply by bunting during a no hitter/perfect game. And guess what. If you're too busy being injured and being a little b**** by suing me for punishing you for breaking an unwritten rule, then you wouldn't be playing again and you wouldn't be able to bunt again to break up a no hitter/perfect game. In other words, it effectively kept you from doing it again. Good enough for me.

This season Wakefield should also pass 3,000 innings and if he were a starter the entire year, then he'd have a shot at 200 wins as well.

While one definitely shouldn't bunt to break up a no hitter, you can do it all you want, as long as you don't get offended when you are in a stretcher because the pitcher accidentally decapitated you with a 95 mph heater while the fans lose respect for you for being a dirty and cheap bastard and then you're using the remainder of your salary to pay for hospital bills to dislodge a major league baseball from your brain stem. Just because there isn't a de jure ruling against it, doesn't mean that de facto regulation is not in effect. Same applies to stealing and padding stats with a large lead.

Then you and Yankees are the clear minorities here.

Now would be a good time for some more 2 out RBI's Hermida.

Way to not get out Ortiz.

It's almost as if our fantasy teams are more prevalent over our actual teams....

For some reason, Hill wasn't starting and Yahoo didn't notify me. M*****f*****.

The same problems can be solved with a 95 mph fastball to the temple.

Damn, I certainly did not see this coming.

I don't really like the idea of bringing Dice-K out for the 7th, but if it doesn't backfire on us then I'll be ok with it.

What a great start by Dice-K. Let's get him out of here while it's still good.

Because how often would you intentionally walk Varitek? That's like intentionally walking the opposing pitcher.

When was the last time that Varitek was intentionally walked?

Now that I didn't expect. First vertigo, then a bunt single. What's next, will Drew bat right handed?

Isn't tidbit usually 1 word?

If only Drew would stop getting out...

When they stop getting injured.

He's straight up ballin at this point.
