  1. Just what we needed. Buch, no walks six k's. Mooky may not need an xtra day off after all. Let's wait and see if the pen works tonight brfore shooting off any cannons. Going into Canada tied ain't bad at all!
  2. Well said excepting the "all wins and losses are equal part." If they could keep some of the pitchers a little healthier, they would b e just fine. In the play offs three healthy, capable starters will get us a long way. Would love to see Buch throw a 2-hiiter tonight!
  3. So, you are saying there is no such thing as "hitting in the clutch"? Nonsense. If you read the post carefully, I am not talking about clutch hitters. I am talking about the team hitting in the clutch. There's a very big difference.
  4. There is on major problem with our offense. CLUTCH HITTING. It hasn't been there for most of the year. How many times have we come from a 9th inning deficit? Or an 8th or 7th inning deficit for that matter. Not very often. It's nice to enoy an 11-2 win. Lots of fun. But how about a 2 or 3 runner on bomb late in the game. Isn't happening.
  5. Get a man or two on, we could see Papi and Shae back to back next inning. Vasquez is on the bench so whu is Halliday in there anyway!
  6. If Hakkiday was nor good enough for 11 other teams, why is he good enopugh for the Red Sox/
  7. See what I mean?
  8. Mookie's showing a little fatigue. I'd hold him out of the Wed/ game. Give him a two day rest. Even send him to Toronto through home.
  9. They have to relegate Kimbrel to mop-up duty until he finds some sort of rhythm. Right now he's a mess. I don't see this team missing the playoffs. That's when it really becomes, "Spahn, Sain and pray for rain." Two of the present starters will be bullpen bound. Right now I would trust Buchholz more than I would Kimbrel.
  10. Well said. The A's pitcher was gutsy as well as good.
  11. Mo way in hell a pitcher throwing a no-no gets lifted. Never happens! Never will happen, unless he breaks a leg on the way to the dugout.
  12. Good question. The last time I saw Shaw in LF he looked lost. (But the way the A's have been hitting it probably wouldn't matter very much.) Hard to ignore him after his explosion, though. Any body know if Moncada's folks got here to see him play? Would be nice.
  13. what am I doing watching this? If RP gets a no-no he'll have to fo it without me!
  14. It's been almost 80 years And they're still up!since a player has come up to the biggies with thie much hype. The other guy was never bothered by it. He KNEW he was the best Rays got 5 in the 6th and lead Toronto 5-1.
  15. Young? Against a rightie? Is Holt hurt?
  16. Great bit of managing by JF (re/Moncada). I was wrong, and he was right about not starting him. I don't know why the kid ran thru the stop sign at 3rd when the score was about 14-2, but I guess he was excited about the whole thing. Also great seeing Shaw have a big, big night. He must have been feeling like the lost soul. Moncada scoring on the double gave Shaw a big RBI night
  17. Rays now lead 8-2. Bottom of the 7th
  18. Lineups announced. Shaw goes to 3rd, and 20,000 Sox fans go to bed! Raye now leading 4-2
  19. The Rays were just under .500 for the month of August.
  20. Kid walks into Monks Grocery, Magoun Sq., Somerville, July, 1948 “I want to bet on the Red Sox today. They’re playing the Yankees, right?.” “How old are you, kid/” “What’s the difference? It’s illegal anyway.” “Good point| Six to five, take your pick. How much?” “30 cents. That means I’ll win a quarter, right? Here’s my 30 cents.” “Come by in half an hour or so.” Guy reading the Sporting News pipes up, “That game was over 20 minutes ago, Monk. Sox won 2-1. You owe the kid 55 cents!” “I know. Did you notice the holes in his stockings?” Kid goes home, tells his little sister, “I won 25 cents betting the Sox today. I can pick up my money in half an hour. Monk never knows what’s going on!”
  21. QUOTE=Spudboy;1026066]Agreed. Other than a few highlight clips none of has seen him play much. Well, I guess we won't get our preview tonight. General Farrell will stick to protocol (again) and make him sweat for a day or so. Dumbest psychological move he could make! Where does he get these golden rules, anyway?
  22. Getting back to reality, Beni isn't in the conversation for tonight's game. If the Sox were smart enough to hire me as their lineup consultant, my bottom four this game would be Holt, Moncada, Leon, Bradley. I expect it to be Leon, Holt, Moncada Bradley. What sayeth you other gurus?
  23. I'm just hoping he can play. Period.
  24. Ode to David Ortiz They come, they go Some lose, some win; But we will never see A Big Papi come again. So, so long, Mister Ortiz; To say you’ll be missed, Is like saying, ‘too bad’ To a girl never kissed. Yes, they come, they go We marvel their stats, But you’re the one Who gets the tip of our hats! From a Red Sox Fan Since 1932
  25. If I were the opposing manager, I would bunt, bunt, bunt. He's been put under a pressure cooker. I would hope JF doesn't panic if he boots one here and there. Hell, he's only 21! From everything we've heard, his hitting will be fine. Whatever happens, the experience of having Ortiz and Pedroia as day-by-day mentors will be priceless.
