Yay

Step 1: don't swing Step 2: ? Step 3: win!

We walking errybody out here

Bard is working quick so far. About 15-18 sec between pitches

If he comes to Boston, Buchholz needs to go to Pawtucket or the 'pen.

I'd rather see Gonzo playing average offense and above average defense at 1B, than Ortiz playing above average offense and way below average defense at 1B AND Gonzo playing average offense and way below defense in RF. The Gonzo to RF idea is terrible, and makes the right side of our defense, sans Pedroia, a nightmare.

Would I rather have resigned Beltre and kept Youk at 1B? Maybe, probably, who knows? Think a couple of years ago though, everyone in RSN wanted Gonzo more than anyone. He was the one player everyone here coveted, possibly due to our FO overhyping him.

That reminds me of Luis Castillo in 2000 with the Marlins. He batted leadoff all year and finished with this nice line: .334/.418/.388/.806 in 626 PA, to go with 62 SB and 101 R Not too shabby right? That's where it gets strange. He finished the year with 17 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR, and 17 RBI

The power is definitely there though. He absolutely crushed a ball late in the game, but he was just a bit early on it.

That pitch to Pedroia was way outside

Padilla doesn't care tho. He'll hit you and then charge the plate to finish you off.

Agreed. I did P90X first and it got me into shape, then I did a round of Insanity and it pushed me 10x more.

I think we picked up Padilla because of his gimmick pitch. Wakefield's knuckler is gone, so someone had to take his place.

Padilla looks wet already

Gonzo really needed that. That ball went faaaaaaaaarrrrrr

Honestly, I'd rather have Lavarnway and Shoppach back there splitting time 35/65-ish. The 35% of the time Lavarnway is behind the plate is a "rest" day for one of the everyday fielders, where they DH for the day.

And dog s*** doesn't smell nearly as bad once it's dried out in the sun long enough. He's still s***, you're just getting accustomed to his shittiness.

Will Rhymes' x-rays came back negative. I don't know how that fastball didn't break his forearm. So in the end, he just got a little boo-boo and passed out.

I hope he's ok.. How do you pass out 5 minutes later from a baseball to the arm?

In other news, Jamie Moyer has pitched 5 scoreless innings and helped his own cause with an RBI infield single.

Atchison is a bad idea. He's good to start innings, bad to work out of jams

Charge that run to Ross. :thumbdown

He finally throws a good pitch to shut me up
