go sox.
let’s score 8 runs before 10:00, i have to go see a friend’s band.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
i have a 49ers threepeat shirt
worthless too
Tidbit from Extra Bases:
Expect to see more of Manny Delcarmen in this series.
Justin Masterson played a prominent role against the Los Angeles Angels in the ALDS because the Angels featured a lineup loaded with righthanded hitters. Because the Rays have a lineup chocked with lefties, Francona was asked, does that mean Delcarmen — who struck out 33 of the 126 lefthanders he faced this year and held them to a .190 average — will have a more accentuated role?
“Yes, it does,” Francona said. “You’re more likely to see Manny Delcarmen come into the game to pitch to lefthanders.”
Delcarmen has pitched better recently than at any point of his career. Since Aug. 19, including his 2 1/3 scoreless innings in the ALDS, Delcarmen has allowed one earned run in 25 innings.
Missed the suit
Thank God.

Ehhh, not sure if that is good or bad.
Ped would have scored, but had that been foul, I’m not sure the inning would last much longer…

Ump is McClellan.
The zone will be very tight tonight. I hope the Rays get frustrated and start to swing at bad pitches, giving Dice-K some quick outs.

I remember before we got signed Dicek
reading articles about how in one Japanese game (maybe a HS game?) he threw like a gazillion pitches and won in like 17 innings. I wonder if he walked 50 guys then too, or if this is a recent development.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
DICE-K
can’t believe it that he still does it
i know he could throw a strike here and there…but he has other things in mind
Hey everyone,

they found a way
they even had a stat showing it

i assume that means the hitter is overswinging, or trying to do too much at the plate.

I had wanted to like Balfour due to the whole Former Brewer thing, but then I finally got to see him pitch…and despite his K/9 rate in comparison, I’ve never wanted to punch Seth McClung in the face.
Jed Lowrie is the greatest thing ever in postseason. He reminds me a lot of Craig Counsell.
…and Masterson, I know not why Francona keeps running him out there, but tonight it at least worked.
Tonight worked
I don’t have the splits here, but I really don’t remember Longo ever playing well against us. And Balfour is an ass. Not like Gomes, but he’s still an ass.

Masterson
has some sort of voodoo hex on Tito. He’s stealing innings from Manny Delcarmen, which is shocking, especially considering how good Delcarmen’s been lately. Masterson is always a threat to walk people, and he’s looked very shaky all postseaon. Theoretically he gets lots of groundballs, but tonight was his first October double play.
As for the Rays pen, I’m expecting all of them to suck next year.
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."
- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
Masterson got rushed. I hope he’s not going to be Craig Hansen (or Clay Buchholz) v. 2.0, but it’s looking that way. At least they bothered to keep Buchholz down in AA for the duration. Masterson needs to spend some quality time in Pawtucket in ’09.
I’m expecting them to suck too. Especially Balfour. His minor league stats were pretty good, though. His suckiness in Milwaukee could have been attributed to a combination of injury recovery + Ned Yost being a giant waste of space and not knowing how to manage a bullpen, but I remember him pre-surgery with the Twins and he was about 80 kinds of not good. Oh, well, the Crew’s short time limit on him got them McClung, and he was a lot more use than Balfour would have been.
Definitely not going to be Clay.2
Clay would’ve blown that lead, no doubt.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
I hope so
So I take a day off from work to see the Sox play the Twins at the Dome, all right?
Why did it have to be the day Clay gave up SEVEN RUNS?…and then went on the DL for broken nail/whatever the heck Tito said it was 2 months after/general suck.
He was rushed, no doubt.
He needs more confidence in his fastball. But he still k’d a guy an inning. He’s got great stuff, and he’s still only 23. He’ll be fine.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Can't do
She’s a redhead. Those are the best. :)

Ballgame.
Papelbon continues his stretch of postseason dominance. Dice-K shut down the Rays, and the pen held on. Great win all around, although our bats were a little cold.
