This one is for all the marbles. All of 'em.
I think we should kill them tonight just because Evan Longoria is a jerk. That should be reason enough.

Good call, MGBB.
Cash is much subtler, even if he calls for it mostly at the exact same times.
I usually agree with the call, especially 0-2, but a batter would have to have zero peripheral vision or just a sense of motion around them to not know what’s coming.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
So basically, Who-lio?
Or Tek before last night?
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Allen would you bring back Cash
if we didn’t resign Wakefield?
"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.
Probably not.
I feel like Dusty Brown could be roughly equivalent defensively with better offensive potential. You?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Though if all he's offered from other teams
Is a MiL contract w/ invite, then I’d offer him one in a second. I think he’s great defensively. 30+% runners thrown out while catching mostly Wakefield?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
If we don't trade for someone
I’d like to see Brown and Kottaras duke it out for Varitek’s job. But Cash is such a good catcher that I wouldn’t mind seeing him back again.
"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.
I wonder, with his still reported defensive shortcomings
Whether Kottaras would be given a fair shake to win the job. I think the org. is clearly higher on Brown w/r/t defense and makeup.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Yeah, I wonder if Tek doesn't know the guy ahead of him can tell if he's standing
How do you call a knuckler? You just call one and the location is in God’s hand?

Heh.
Probably. Which really makes Mirabelli and Cash’s literal catching abilities pretty impressive. Mirabelli probably had a good sense the last few years of where it was going. I think Cash is still pretty reactive. Good at doing so, but reactive.

But to me this isn’t one of them. Maybe with a bigger lead, you send a message to one of the better hitters on that team.

I assume Upton or Pena would tell
Garza – all right. He buzzed me with one @ 95-96. Why don’t you cut that S- out.
Otherwise, it’s not at all worth it.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I disagree
Plunk Upton on the wrist and warnings for both teams. Garza’s whole game plan is to throw high and tight, to keep guys on edge. Take him out of his game.

Wonder if Kotsay would've have been the better choice to throw it
Even if it was DP’s play on a fundamental level.

You didn’t think it would be easy did ya? Win tonight, sweep world series in 4 and tito is 12 and 0 in the World Series
Who will close?
Who will get to the closer?
I think the more important question for the Rays is “will they get a lead?”

Cora has a stronger arm.
But his range, which used to be good, mostly disappeared this season. His arm could be an asset, if only because several of the guys on this team are capable of turning GBs into the hole into IF singles.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

Getting Garza out of the game will be key. Sox should be able to put up a couple off Balfour and company.

Correct play.
And him shading towards 2b probably wasn’t his call.

Not Good. I am worried, and Garza looks great.
Could Francona maybe take out Varitek and Cora now and put in Cash and Lowrie. Please?
I doubt he'll just pull 'Tek
Unless a scoring opportunity came up. I could see Lowrie PHing regardless.

I'm not sure why I keep doing this.
But he’s not going to do all of that. Lowrie for Cora next time up, sure. Casey to PH for ‘Tek if there’s a runner or two in scoring position? Sure. Ells to run for Bay, maybe, if the situation calls for it? Possibly.
He’s not going to make those moves just all of a sudden. Be realistic, or start your own website calling for a new manager. One or the other. Stop with the f’n panic bulls.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I believe it is wrong to stay this course!
I would shake things up now because this line-up is producing no good vibes. I will sign off now per your request, but I still stand behind my panic instincts!
I respect how you're feeling.

"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Heading into Game 5, California looked set to earn their first-ever trip to a World Series. Grich, the previous night’s hero, homered to give the Halos a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning; Red Sox center fielder Dave Henderson had tried to leap at the wall to catch Grich’s long fly ball, but ended up deflecting it over the fence. Rob Wilfong appeared to put the final nail in Boston’s coffin with an RBI double in the seventh, and the Angels led 5-2 after eight innings.
In the ninth, Witt was two outs away from his second complete game victory of the series when Don Baylor hit a two-strike, two-run home run to pull the Red Sox within one run. After retiring the next batter, Witt was replaced by left-hander Gary Lucas. With his very first pitch, Lucas hit batter Rich Gedman, and was replaced by Donnie Moore. The Angels closer brought his team within one strike of its first-ever AL pennant, but Henderson caught hold of a Moore forkball and launched a home run into the left field stands, stunning the hometown crowd and greatly redeeming himself for his earlier miscue. Boston had taken a 6-5 lead.
The lead would not last, however, as in the bottom of the ninth, Boone singled, and Jones pinch-ran for him. Pettis sacrificed Jones to second, and Wilfong singled him home, tying the game. Schofield then singled, sending Wilfong to third, and Downing was intentionally walked to load the bases with only one out. All of Boston’s top-half heroics would have been washed away with a mere sacrifice fly at this point. But instead, DeCinces only managed to hit a short fly ball to right field. Grich’s subsequent line-out to pitcher Steve Crawford ended the inning.
The teams settled down and the 10th inning was again scoreless, but the Red Sox loaded the bases in the top of the 11th for Henderson. He hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Baylor with the go-ahead run. Calvin Schiraldi then retired the Halos in order in the bottom of the 11th, completing a shocking comeback and breaking the hearts of Angels fans.
Need another one of those.

Bartlett should be watching.
That’s how you make an effort to move out of the way of a possible HBP.

Bay onboard.
Good AB.

Kotsay
He has been hitting the ball hard all series
My God.
What’s with all the bunting? We need two runs at least.

Even then.
Throwing error in game 5 notwithstanding, Longoria is an excellent 3b.

Depends on contract demands.
Sox will make some kind of offer.

I think he'll come back.
He’ll get 1 year vesting with a decent salary from us. I’m not sure any other team will offer him two years with no strings after this season.

Lowrie on deck?
Or at least getting ready in the dugout?

Let's go Lowrie.
Just get on base.

Have a nice vacation guys
and you’re right, go Phils
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
So
who should we go after in the offseason?
whos going to be a free agent?
I'm very, VERY proud of this team
We lost one game, that’s all. We got in a position of a winner takes all in the ALCS. No Mikey, Josh hurt, Lester after throwing 10928310923 innings in the season, Papi dead, no leadoff hitter, JD hurt, and I could go on.
I can’t be sad about losing. Fuck the Rays, you know. Just fuck ‘em. I’m sad because I’ll miss this team. From Youk funny batting stance to Dice-K pulling a Houdini, it will be a long time until we have baseball again.
Love all of you, I’ll be around in the off-season wondering if we should get Lowe. :)
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
He wants to return, supposedly.
And if Wake chooses to retire, I’d be down with slotting Lowe in that spot.

Hey.
If he keeps it to that and none of the drinking shenanigans that were supposedly involved, I don’t care.

I bet Lowe wants four years.
This is his last big contract. And I bet he’ll get it.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
If anyone is a good bet at his age to last for such a contract
it’s him.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
by Allen Chace on Oct 19, 2008 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions
True.
Never really been hurt, as far as I know. And he spent some key years coming out of the pen, so he’s probably got some bullets left.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Yeah.
I’d probably hardball him at 3 years and see if we can’t get him to do what Mike Lowell did: take the shorter term because this is where he wants to be. Obviously hope the health situation is different, but you get the idea.

Sinkerballers don't get old
I mean, they do, but they are a good bet. Like you said, if he stops the drinking shit, I want him back as well. I miss Derek. He is great.

i'm so proud too
don’t get me wrong, this was a tough loss, but i am oddly at peace, because this team has nothing to be ashamed of. i can’t wait for next season.
i’ll be rooting for the phillies in the world series due to the fact i’m from hawaii, and we always root for our own (shane victorino). hopefully it will be even half as exciting as this alcs.
by 808BostonFan on Oct 19, 2008 11:54 PM EDT up reply actions
the only good thing
is that we don’t have to listen to Chip Caray openly rooting for the Rays any longer.
Well, good performance by the sox for what we had. And I sadly admit that I feel that after these years the Rays do deserve it. They were in a similar position to us in ’04 and kudos to them to pulling it off. That said, GO SOX NEXT YEAR!!! As I foolishly said in inning 6 last Thursday, See you all in Ft Myers/Sarasota.
"We're not going to give up," It doesn't happen, so who cares? There's always next year. It's not like it's the end of the world."
Goodnight everyone!
Tough end to a season of great baseball. Very exciting series, and we almost came back to win it all. To go down 7-0 and then come back to force games 6 and 7 is great baseball. This, from a team plagued with injuries, was a monumental achievement.
There will be plenty to cover this offseason, and OTM will have it all for you.

I do not
He’d block Lars. Unless we’re trading Lars. But to get who?

Uh
I realize this is irrelevant, as we’d still have two 1B.
At some point after 11/4 I think I’ll be able to speak coherently about baseball again.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Ortiz isn't going to be around forever.
So I consider yours a coherent thought, for what it’s worth.
"no1 has time to read your long comments, are you writing a book?"
I think there might need to be some hard evaluation done w/r/t
The middle of the lineup. If Ortiz’s wrist can’t right itself, he’s no longer a #3 hitter. Lowell’s hip makes him a question mark until that recovery is over with.

Agreed.
Not sure what we can do, though. Maybe trade for a guy like Prince Fielder (not sure if he’s available, or if we could stomach his ’defense’).
I don’t see the Sox overpaying for Teixeira. He’s a good hitter, but not worth what he’ll command.

IF we trade for Fielder
It’s to use him as a DH, no? I think Papi is a better fielder than him…

And since we're talking crazy
You know who I’d love to see as a Sox? Carlos Beltran. I’m just a sucker for that guy, always wanted him in the Sox. Other than him being great, I don’t know why. I just like him.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
by MerryGoByeBye on Oct 20, 2008 12:17 AM EDT up reply actions
I wouldn't mind that.
Beltran plays good D and hits well, far better than Coco or Ells at the moment. I doubt he’s available, but if he is, then something like Ellsbury+Buchholz / Bowden + a prospect might be worth it.
Fielder should DH if he can. I hope Theo has a plan for long-term power.

Hey man.
The Mets are crazy. Manuel’s already been talking about “getting guys who can do the little things”, and I’d be interested to see how much influence he might have with Minaya in shaping the roster.
Might be a pipe dream, but Bay-Beltran-Drew would be OUTSTANDING next year.

It sounds very sexy, doesn't it?
Balls would not fall, and all the 3 could hit 25-30 HRs.

The bonus is
With what Manuel has said, if he watched the Rays beat us in this ALCS, he probably wants 9 f’n Jason Bartletts. That’s fine. Send us Beltran for some stuff and we’ll be on our way.

Doing 'all the little things right' is so stupid
Why this shit only happens in baseball? I mean, in football people celebrate an offensive juggernaut, like the Colts and the Rams were. In basketball they do as well, everyone fell in love with the Suns and their crazy game. But not in baseball! People want a team that finishes the season with a 3+ RD, and luck their way to a 100 win season. People want the Angels. Why?

by MerryGoByeBye on Oct 20, 2008 12:42 AM EDT up reply actions
I think it happens
because most managers, coaches, scouts, and other traditionalists are players who washed out of the sport because of limited talent. Accordingly, they praise people without terrific offensive skills because those guys are like them.

Yeah, we need a power bat
Youk, Bay and Drew can hit for power, but they’re not really ‘powerful’ in the way Papi was and Manny is. Lars seems to be this way as well, and I don’t know if Mikey will ever be that again.
I’d love Prince Fielder, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Beltran has it all. Great bat, great glove and great arm. I don’t think it’s going to happen as well.

Baseball is a fucked up sport
If you make a rotation now of Pedro, Arroyo, Schill, Lowe and Wake, you’re going to be in deep shit. But it was great just 4 years ago.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Actually, Lowe was bad for most of 2004.
5.42 ERA (90 ERA+), 1.615 WHIP. Got hisself banished to the pen for the playoffs, iirc. Then he came up HUGE for us in the playoffs.
