Do'h. First.
I had one written out, waiting for the line-ups… oh well.
I’ll be tuning in and out, I have a Literature project due tomorrow. The good thing: ITBS testing, so no homework, and I’ll be here all week!
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
line-ups

ahh, no JD!! At least Jed-I is in. Lowell in. Bay moved up.
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
About what I figured for tonight.
VS. a LHP means a good game to give Drew off. Lowell back in vs. the LHP, and there’s no reason for Cora to start 2 games in a row ever.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
God Varitek had better bat right-handed today
or I will shoot him.
No, really.
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
At some point he needs a
Tap on the shoulder/smack in the head about batting RHH like all the time now.
At his age, losing bat speed from his unnatural side (LH) seems pretty predictable, but the numbers don’t lie, and he’s been more than decent from the right side v. LHPs (.863). He probably wouldn’t be able to match that vs. RHPs, but any improvement would be awesome.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Jed's Minor League splits for 2008 are remarkable.
.794 OPS v. LHPs
.793 OPS v. RHPs
There’s some BABIP discrepancy there, though he hit more line drives vs. RHPs. I’m not sure we need to sell him on the idea of batting from just one side yet. He’s still in a normal adjustment period for the MLs.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
oops, did not have the numbers in mind
just from watching i think for some switch hitters, just let it go because one side looks more natural
Well, he's been weaker vs. RHPs lately, possibly all season in the bigs.
But his MiL numbers don’t bear out changing.
I’m actually all for switch-hitting as long as the player remains effective from both sides.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
to be honest, he pretty much sucks against righties till now
still better him (he can develop) than Lugo
i am so nervous
more than in the others games just because of Beckett
i hope he is healthy and can show a little bit of his stuff…and no dramatic adventures while fielding the ball please
Evening All
why is this crappy TBDR/CWS game still on?!
will it be over in 27 mins? I love the 7:27 start time….
I am working on a couple papers but will be up all night rooting for the Sox to send the LAAAAAAAAA home !!

Somehow a guy got to second...
nobody out.

Beckett being (Rafael) Betancourt.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

Come on Beckett
At least don’t be that slow. I went for a beer when he was down 1-0 against Vlad, came back and he was throwing the pitch Vlad fouled.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Really ridiculous.
Becks and ’Tek both overthinking.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
DO NOT... DO NOT... DO NOT WALK JUAN RIVERA
Like, ever, even less so with the bases juiced.

What an idiot. swinging on a 3-0 count against Josh Beckett in the playoffs!
I’m not sure if I am even joking. Ball four.

When do we get Paul Byrd up in the pen?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"

Beckett, what the hell are you doing?
Just throw strikes. Let your defense work. And try harder to cover 1st.
I can't believe this shit happened after Tex struck out
I thought the inning was dead or so by then… Why pitching around Juan Rivera, man?
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
it is the damnned necklace they all have
did not make a Dice-K to a Becketteer but turned Beckett ind Dice-BB
DP on.
No way he’s coming out. The leg would’ve had to separate somewhere.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
i love Papi and he sure knows what to do
but just do not like first pitch hitting that much (especially when it is the first of the gamen, especially when u just had put a runner on)
hope needs some time to grow so take a pitch for the team
wow. Bad throw Lowell.
Never happens.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
What, Beckett?
Don’t you wanna walk Howie Kendrick? You really doesn’t? You COULD, YOU KNOW!!

Youks. Two good plays this inning.

Becks.
Not entirely discouraging. Good velocity and movement. Poorpoorpoorpoorpoor command. COULD be as a result of no game action for 13 days or whatever it is.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
d*mn Becks
& why is this announcer so happy?!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Maybe Wake if Saunders were gonna be pulled soon.
But ’Tek should get at least another PA against the lefty.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Full count, HOWIE KENDRICK is up next
YOU DO NOT NEED TO HANG THAT SHIT, BECKETT.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
See, Kendrick struck out on 3 pitches
Just WALK NAPOLI. Or throw one in the corner. Just… Damn!

I feel like clapping
but i forgot that im in my house. HD really is cool!
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
Dear Josh,
I have been putting up with your inconsistency all season long. You lost your position as ace, and you allowed Dice-K to become the 2nd best pitcher in the game. I put up with this, because I knew, lurking in your heart, was Playoff Beckett, the Texan God of Dominance. But now my faith is shaken. Now I wonder, was Nietszche right? Is Playoff Beckett dead? Or is he merely punishing us, testing our faith?
So to put this in words you’ll understand: Man up. Because I don’t want Wakefield or Byrd in this game.
TBS HD Broadcast
Has anyone been having trouble hearing the announcers on the TBS broadcast on HD. It seems better now in the 3rd inning, but before this inning, the background seemed too load. Anyone else noticed this problem??
NG. Don't worry.
You are not having trouble hearing them. You are being blessed by not having to listen to their idiocy.
i do not have picture nor sound

they stole me the Sox hitting
now Figgins is on first

That is the second time Beckett did not get to first!!
What the frick. Is he getting a Manny type attitude or is he hurting??
Beckett has got to be working on getting to the bag on a groundout.
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
And Becks is D lucky he got to that.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Thanks, Pedroia
I do not want Beckett in for another inning, cut this shit Tito.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
I think MDC was up in case the inning needed to be finished.
My guess is that Wake or Byrd (more likely Byrd) comes in to start the 5th fresh.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Unless they purposely want to extend this series for the added revenue,
lke they used to do with the Celtics in the Cousy days, I would pull him in a heartbeat!

Tito is NOT that good.

Is it time for Beckett to go....
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Reverse the order of the 1st two words
It is time for Beckett to go
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
As Dustin Pedroia said
“I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me PAUL BYRD, or GIVE me 10 RUNS.”
good night
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
So I guess the subject for a later discussion is
WHAT’S WRONG WITH BECKETT?? Having an ineffective Beckett casts real doubt on our ability to repeat, IMO!
Poor command.
You saw it. It’s possible it’s due to rust. Who knows. Gotta go with it at this point, and also have to assume he won’t be out there for the 6th.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I think so as well
Youk was good all the season, Dusty sucked for a month or so. Youk really carried us.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
by MerryGoByeBye on Oct 5, 2008 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Do you remember when the previous Sox manager
left Pedro in the game too long and lost his job after that game?? Well Tito has reached that moment, IMO. Beckett better be gone next inning.
Sorry. Did you say "overdramatic"?
That’s all I read there.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
When a former overbearing pitcher like Beckett
gets hit around like he did tonight, any competent manager should see the light! Something is wrong with Beckett, probably an injury. These injuries are a real threat to this team.
by NG on Oct 5, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions
NG
Did you watch him pitch? He looks rusty, not injured. Good break on the curve and good movement and velocity on his fastball. He wasn’t able to put em where he wanted most of the night. Should he have started the 5th? I don’t think so. But he didn’t look hurt at all.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Let us agree to disagree.
I think he is tentative and hurting.
by NG on Oct 5, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Mostly agreed
But the fastball velocity was down. I didn’t see a pitch at 95 or higher. Rarely did he hit 93.
Eh.
I’d really only be worried if he were struggling to throw 91. He was throwing 92-93 real easy.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
A healthy Mike Lowell would NOT
have let that pitch go bye! He is hurting too badly, and probably needs to sit out. I hate to say this, but he looks very tentative.
Only if it's for Kotsay.
Casey is our designated PH with his extreme limited range, and Cora had a good game the other night; but I’m not going to bet on lightning essentially striking twice there.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Dang. For all his early struggles.
MDC’s numbers for the entire season look excellent.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
He's a good reliever
A little shaky at times, but mostly good.

I don't get throwing FB to Kendrick there
MDC got ahead in the count. Throw 3 fucking breaking balls in a row, at least one of those Kendrick will chase.

Lowell's range at 3rd seems shot.
Combined with his anemic bat, maybe we should be going Lowrie / Cora or Youk / Casey rather than trying to run Lowell out there.
Kotsay is better than Casey
Casey should be used only as a PR these days.

True.
He’s got blinding speed. As in you go blind watching the TV for as long as it takes for him to round the bases.
One could get married, have children, grandchildren, go around the world, finish Jet Force Gemini
Come back and Casey would still be rounding 2nd. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t hit HRs…

Frank Caliendo does really good impressions.
I remember watching him on Mad TV. He was very funny. But this new show, I don’t know (never watched it). Judging by the quality of the writing for the ads, I’d say Frank TV is freshmanific, which is to say, lower than sophomoric.
That's a inside-the-park if that's Manny

Yeah. And really healthy his entire career too.
Might be the only 36 year old starter you could give a 3-4 year contract to and be not terribly worried about the length of the deal.

Lowe? Why?
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Well.
Masterson probably does or should do extra work on that in PFP given his GB tendencies, but obviously I see what you’re really saying.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Ball 2 was Strike 3, or looked it to me.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Drew not playing "his" game in that PA.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Coco trying to be the hero on one swing as well.

But Drew quickly struck out. The Zone has been a little crazy today.

He hasn't been too bad.
Been giving the high strike, with not a lot of the pitchers today taking great advantage of it. Not fond of giving a lot of corner calls.

They are.

"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Oh god.
Frank Caliendo’s advertising on Halos Heaven. That makes them guilty by association. [/just kidding]
Smoke. And I'm glad Kevin Cash doesn't do what Tek does
for elevated fastballs. You can feel when someone stands up behind you.

Because HE always swings at high fastballs in 0-2 counts.

am I the only one sick of Figgins?
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Not if he continues to do what he just did.
And Figgins is probably my favorite Angel.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Or, the Angel I'm most likely to kidnap and drop off in front of Fenway Park.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
You mean Scone?
I love how the announcers say that he feeds the middle of the order. They must love pastries.
And Paps is sharp tonight.
Very sharp.
Though hopefully we won’t need him for another inning.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I hate him too
Can’t stand looking at that sorry face. He always seems to be on the verge of crying.

A bit
But Willie Randolph didn’t have the ‘sorry’ face.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

I'm not sure K-Rod ever really knows where the ball is going.

Landsdowne?

Seemed inappropriate in a number of ways somehow.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I saw the Stones at Fenway.
Now THAT was a lot of dry mouth. The whole place reeked of grass.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
come on Bay

Crapfestival.
Jason Bay’s kryptonite is the breaking ball away.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
seems that way ---he annoys me to no end
hope he busts his ar$e ; hate all that pointing to the sky

Not his fault.
Blown check swing call.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Didn't he go around?
I need to stop watching 2 things at the same time.

Nah. Held up.
Not a no-doubt call, but not that close either.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
come through Lowrie

Maybe.
But I’ll give him this: not a bad pitch to hit.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Yeah, sure
But K-Rod wasn’t being able to throw strikes not even to save his life. I’d put the take sign on.

Sho'nough.
He’s not really a strike-thrower anyway, in terms of pitches that would be called strikes. Just gets that good movement and makes them look fat til they reach the plate.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
At least K-Rod will be spent for the 11th.
He’s kind of a one-winning wonder.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Was a long time for Paps to sit.
GA, Tex, Vlad.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
TBS keeps repeating the story about Tek saying Paps is a fastball pitcher.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
I'll never call GMJ a 'big out' again
