  1. 2 for last 30 with RISP. At least that got a run in and moved the runner over.
  2. Uh. yeah. Sox are 2 for their last 29 with RISP, going back to Tuesday. Brutal.
  3. We do. It's called Left Field. What it boils down to is having Darnell or Iglesias. I would rather have Iglesias at SS, Aviles in LF than Aviles at SS, Darnell in LF.
  4. Yeah. And if Lavarnway was up here?? Damn. Ellsbury Middlebrooks Gonzalez Pedroia Ortiz Ross Crawford Lavarnway Aviles That lineup is sick vs LHP. And vs RHP? It's devastating. Ellsbury Crawford Pedroia Gonzalez Ortiz Middlebrooks Sweeney Salty/Lavarnway Aviles I've said this before, I'll say it again. Just try to keep pace and stay within striking distance because the 2nd half of this season is going to be complete and utter domination.
  5. Aviles SS Middlebrooks 3B Gonzalez 1B Pedroia 2B Ortiz DH Ross RF McDonald LF Byrd CF Shoppach C (Lester P) Gotta love Pedey in the 4 slot.
  6. So today when I was at lunch, I started thinking, Chen is a LHP. You know who would be the perfect 2 hole hitter against LHP?? Will Middlebrooks. I really hope they slot him in the 2 slot tonight. I think that's a great spot for him vs LHP when Sweeney can't play there. EDIT: I just saw a700's post. I love that. Great move by BobbyV.
  7. Plus they signed DiceK to an MLB deal. Iglesias signed a minor league deal. DiceK's FA clock started ticking immediately because he fulfilled the requirements in his first year.
  8. Why don't we start a thread called "Sellout Streak a Hoax?" or something like that rather than using the GT for this discussion. It's going to be more than a 1 day topic, so it needs its own thread. About the game - I have a feeling Gonzo is going to bust out of his slump this series and do some major, major damage. After that epic fail against the A's, he's the kind of guy who is going to figure it out. Keep an eye out on him tonight and the whole series.
  9. The FA clock starts based on MLB time.
  10. Hahahaha. God this reminds me of an episode of Always Sunny where they are trying to solve the gas crisis, and the gas attendant refuses to give them a refund on gas that they purchased, so they say: Mac: Now we're going to hit you where it hurts. Charlie: Your dick! Mac: What?!? No! No! His wallet! Hahahaha. Oh. I'd like to punch Henry in his dick, though.
  11. And you can get a monster seat ticket for $99. They are $165 face value. And it's not SRO either.
  12. Wow. Tickets starting at $8.75 on StubHub. And it's not SRO either.
  13. Haha. You can probably get monster seats for this game!
  14. Lester Career vs BAL: 14-0, 2.36 ERA. He dominates this team. Lets not forget. Lester was throwing on 3 days rest in the final game, and he threw 6 IP, 2 ER on that final game.
  15. Looks like it's going to rain until around 10 tonight. Wonder if they'll try to play a delayed start, or do a day/night DH tomorrow. Supposed to be 63 and partly cloudy tomorrow.
  16. He talks about the differences, yes. But like I said - He wanted to either be a starter, or a closer. Sticking him in his old 8th inning role? Yes, I could see how he'd be pissed. But if you stuck in in the closer role, he would initially be upset but would be in a role that he had previously indicated that he would like to be in.
  17. http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/red-sox/post/_/id/16638/bard-discusses-his-transition-to-starter At the 1:50 mark. He says "In our (him and BobbyV) first conversation, he said 'What do you want to do?' and I said 'I want to start or close, and I think I can do either one really well.'" He did bring it up in the offseason, but when it came down to it and BobbyV asked him what he wanted to do, he said "I want to start or close". And get your panties out of a wad on the whole quote thing. I posted 2 posts before your response. If you wanted to indicate that you were responding to the Mazz article, why didn't you quote it? Since you always quote what you're responding to, ya know? That would have probably been a good idea rather than just responding in general when there were multiple posts with the same subject.
  18. This is not true. The Sox went to Bard and asked what he wanted to do. He said "I'd like to start or close and I think I can be good at either one of them". The Sox chose for him to start. If the Sox moved him back to closing, they wouldn't be doing anything against his original request. And it looked as though you were responding to me, because it was exactly what I posted about.
  19. Well if that's the case, I'm happy with it. I'm not sure it would have been possible to replace every member of the medical staff, and I'm sure they replaced quite a few of the lower level employees. It's a step in the right direction, that's for sure.
