As much as we like to rag on Coco

he’s a demon on the basepaths. Just went first to third on a WP. Good stuff.

I am curious to know why

Drew got DH instead of Manny. Not that it matters a huge amount, I guess. Weakest fielder?

By the way

Youk is now the sole owner of the all-time MLB consecutive chances at 1B without an error record.

Wow, he’s throwing more of that than usual. Or am I wrong?

well I'm here..

and I don’t give a crap about gridiron, professional basketball or any other, lesser sport. All I care about are the Sox and Buccholz is just awesome.

I love it how Bucholtz shoved it down Lesters throat tonight. Great job kid now come on get a run for the guy.

by SoxFanfromNYtoMA! on Apr 26, 2008 9:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Not for long, Lester in AAA by may….

Neither is trying to show up the other

Hopefully they’ll both be on the Sox staff for many years to come

by soxaholic on Apr 26, 2008 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

I hope so Soxaholic, but if he keeps being a scumb*g and walking everyone got to get rid of him and let Masterson try. 15-11 not bad but a fustrating loss.

by SoxFanfromNYtoMA! on Apr 26, 2008 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's an incredibly disheartening loss.

Kudos to Buch for a fantastic game. The Rays have gotten lucky two in a row.

by soxaholic on Apr 26, 2008 9:58 PM EDT reply actions  

Lucky might be an overstatement

They pitched a great game tonight on the other side and got the big hit that we couldn’t. Not sure that’s luck. But I understand the sentiment.

Argh

Again, one of our young pitchers have a great game, but the batters just can’t help…

No fun

I am having no fun now watching this team. Good pitching to start but poor mid-level length relief, and the batting is sporadic among Drew, Crisp, Papi (unfortunately) and especially with Lugo now heading into his last-year type malaise. I don’t know what to do about the mid-length relief, but the hitting would work out with time for Lowell and Papi, but Lugo must go. I am sure the other team members know what kind of clutch momentum killer he is, and that takes its toll on morale.

I want to keep watching, but I can’t stand watching Lugo and the inept play he fosters. Does Francona have a clue and does he care?? Things were so promising there for a while, but now real problems are showing .

Get off the ledge

We stole a few late games against CLE and TEX. We gave a few back here. None of which is worth overreacting to. I was guilty as most about jumping too high after the wins. Now just stay the course through this rough stretch. Need to take the next game. Lets go Beckett…you’re the stopper.

You are probably right

But that Logo! Errrrrr. Didn’t we go through this last year.

How many major league lives does this guy have?

Hello All. I'm a Rays Fan.

Just wanted to say these last two games have been great, highly entertaining. Both games could have gone either way. Shields-Beckett will be a great way to close this series out.

My Blog. Check it out if you wish.

This certainly isn't the same Rays team of the past...

With Kazmir waiting in the wings, I think this team is an above .500 team this year. They will definitely set a franchise record for wins.
