First, let me just say I hate the last two weeks of a semester. I've been so busy that it seems like the Red Sox have gone extinct.
Second, let's score some runs, shall we? Your starters:

Off of work finally.
Couple thoughts:
F you too, Celtics. Just kidding, but win on Sunday.
You sometimes get these (what seems like it’ll be) 5-inning uneven starts from your young starters with good stuff and potential. Let’s just be glad Tampa’s has not had it at all tonight.
I apologize for no recap last night. I had some good sarcasm planned. I may still put it out there in a two-fer. We’ll see.
2nd and 3rd, 1 out. Let’s not let this get crazy…

Celtics
Can somebody explain to me WHY THE FUCK the potential tying 3 with 8 seconds to play was shot by Rajon Rondo?

No idea. I thought that's why we had Cassell.
When those situations come up, Doc can go with Cassell, Pierce (if he hasn’t fouled out), Allen, Posey, and KG or Powe or even House if they think they need 5 options to shoot it.

Posey had just hit a 3, a heavily guarded 3. The Celtics had 8 seconds to work the ball, and still tried the suicidal shot…

Seriously. I love Rajon Rondo
But if he’s not in there just for his speed and ability to pass, then there’s no need for him to be in on that possession.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
by Allen Chace on May 2, 2008 11:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
He should not have been on court in that situation. Still, it’s the HAWKS. If the Celtics can’t beat them in Boston, well… But I highly doubt that.
Still, going to a 7 game series against such a weak team is not a good sign…

I actually think
we match up better against the Cavs anyway.
The Hawks really have some young, talented guys with desire, drive, and varying un-yet-met levels of potential.
The Cavs have LeBron and several guys whose games are limited in several ways.

The Cavs suck
I hate that team. LeBron is maybe the best player in the game today, because his team is REALLY bad, and he can still make ‘em go deep into the POs. He wouldn’t be having that average anywhere else, but he’s sure better than Kobe ‘The Rapist’ Bryant.
Horford should have been indeed the ROY. Again, the NBA gives the award to a guy whose team sucked big time. I may never understand it.

See.
Can’t blame Durant for his team sucking, or for doing exactly what he was probably told to do (throw up 20-70 shots a night). He did that, and did it all well.
But Horford was asked, especially as it became clearer they’d be in contention, to be everything they’d need a big man to be. And aside from being respectable at FT% and having an about average post game, he responded. What they asked him to do was tougher, and he did most all of it.

Horford improved the Hawks
Durant did not. If he wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have made any difference, the Sonics would have sucked just the same way. I think Durant is the best player from that draft, and he’ll get a MVP or 2 before he’s done. But he wasn’t the ROY.

Yeah, it's not his fault
I didn’t mean it that way. The Sonics are not a good team, and they only think about moving out. He couldn’t have done any better than he did. But still I wouldn’t name him ROY. It would be like giving MVP to LeBron.

Oh, absolutely not.
And I’m honestly thinking, with MDC’s struggles lately. (And I’m starting to think that his flu troubles might’ve been the worst of anyone on the team), going with:
7th: Aardsma/Lopez
8th: Oki
9th: Paps
Unless we get a bigger lead.

Paps
I don’t think we’ll need him. Maybe let Oki get the save.
If we had a bigger lead, that would be the only bad thing about not having Gagne this season. Maybe we should let Timlin fit his shoes. :)

Post-ASB, ideal bullpen:
Paps, Oki, MDC (who will get his internal system and/or head straight before then), Hansen (with Timlin voluntarily hanging em up), Aardsma (who will remember that walks = bad), Lopez (who really hasn’t been that horrible this year), and…I dunno. Masterson? Lee Gronkiweizneihjshljfkljhgoihjioguehrugbjfkljkljeufueh?

And that would be David Wright. And just because I’m a really big fan of that guy, and he’s young.

He did, somehow
He’s not a very good hitter, but he was solid. Started slow, and got better with time. I like him as our backup catcher… For now, at least.

"I like him as our backup catcher" means
“That’s ok, as long as we only see him every 5 days at most”.

Well,
He hits near Lugo… There was bound to be fallout…

Hahaha, you're so right
That’s not very different from hitting before the pitcher. Unless your pitcher is Micah Owings, then it’s better than Lugo.

Well
The best way to look at him is the Milhouse-figure we need to cart around to keep Wake pitching. In that respect, he only needs to do better than Dougie.

Rays are clearly afraid that Ellsbury would've donged in that AB.

In play, out(s)
Not a GIDP, and we still have the bases loaded…

It's felt like he's been in his own mini-slump lately.

F.
Okay. Oki, and have Paps ready if someone reaches with less than two outs.

0-5 for Manny today. How long is been since his last HR?

Sweet jeebus.
F. Oki’s “efficiency”.

Two straight chances for Lugo with no errors?
Wow! That’s big!

Y'know.
We knock him. But he reached base 3 out of 4 times, and his other PA had him see 10 pitches.
Not that that’s the norm, but offensively he’s part of the reason we won tonight.

He's good sometimes
But you know he’s below average. It’s not like our line-up is DOOMED with him there, but it could be better with somebody else. Defensively as well.
But then again, who could we blame for every loss if we traded Lugo? Maybe that’s his role.

Not to be outdone by Oki...

Sox impressive win
Not only did the Sox bats wake up which is excellent news, but more importantly, Clay Bucholz continues to impress. Baseball is about pitching, pitching, pitching!
