OTM

A&B: 3-4-5 hitters in Sox' lineup reach base at least 6 times.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Re: Open Thread: 9.17.07 @ Toronto

Hoping this OTM counts for something...

A&B: 2-hit apiece for Lowell and Ellsbury. Ortiz drives in late-inning go-ahead runs on a double, doing what we all wanted him to do last night.

What would Dogbert do?

OTM

Sox score at least seven runs

Over here, my sanity is questioned for making this prediction despite the lineup tonight. I say it'll just be worth that many more OTM points when it happens anyway.

I wouldn't say I questioned your sanity...:)

Re: OTM

Yeah, but I give you credit for thinking it anyway!

Re: OTM

I'm mostly upset that ol' Tito didn't listen and threw Cora in the lineup anyway.

Tito has a habit of making stupid lineup decisions when Wake starts and at least one starter other than Tek is injured. Frankly, I'm a little surprised he didn't shove his entire head up his rear by starting Kielty and Clayton, too.

OTM: Wakefield gets a quality start.

Not a good start

Wake walks Wells on 4 pitches to start the bottom of the 1st.

The O's up 2-0 in the first

Yikes

Thomas crushes one. 2-0, Jays.

Re: Open Thread: 9.17.07 @ Toronto

Look Drew grounded out to 2B. But wait, there weren't any runners in scoring position..

Re: Open Thread: 9.17.07 @ Toronto

What happened to our incredibly patient line up that made the Yankee pitchers throw like 200 pitches a game?

No Youk, Tek, or Lugo

Re: No Youk, Tek, or Lugo

Youk and Tek were struggling. I think it has more to do with the fact that McGowan looks tough so far and the Sox didn't get into Toronto until early this morning.
