Print2nd inning, 0-0.
Last I checked, Celts were up by 16 mid-way through the 3rd. But my wife wants to watch Top Chef.

Wake sharp so far
3 Ks through 1.2 innings …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
4 Ks
He struck out the side in the 2nd.

Ya, looks like the Good Timmeh showed up.
He’s been pretty brutal over his last few starts.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
That's why the knucler is a bitch
You can’t even blame Wake. It’s the weather, the world, the grass, the color of the hitter’s eyes… You never know when he’s on or not…

Good inning there by Wake
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Obviously Bedard only concentrates v. good hitters
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Yep
And that only points on how good Bedard is. For Lugo to have the best numbers, it means all the others aren’t hitting anything. :)

Bedard lesters Tacoby
Steal home from first! :)
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
2 ABs for Ellsbury
And he didn’t take his bat off his shoulder once: 1 K, 1 BB.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Gamecast had all four of the pitches to Ellsbury down and in.
I wonder if their scouting has a hole there for him.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Spposedly he has trouble with inside pitches
However, he has gone deep on down-and-in pitches. He golfs them.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

The HP ump is giving lots of low strikes
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
They has Taco picked off
But he steals second anyway
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Pretty good game
Still, the Pistons are overrated. I mean, not the Pistons, but how they are playing the series so far. The C’s dropped 2 games because they didn’t show up to play at all. Detroit is a fucking great team, don’t get me wrong, but they are not playing their best. The C’s aren’t either….

I wonder Beane was being honest about Tacoboy
“without doubt the best defensive center fielder in the game today”
or if he’s trying to talk up Ellsbury so he can steal Coco.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
My thoughts exactly
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on May 28, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions
He's a really good fielder
Has a nice range, and doesn’t make too many errors. I’m not so sure about his arm. However, I wouldn’t call him the best defensive center fielder today.

Better arm than Coco.
I’d say the guy playing CF for Seattle is right up there in the discussion.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Agreed
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

introducing your current boston red sox
Where every 3rd night they make a pitcher look like Sandy Koufax in his prime…
Bedard is a good pitcher
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on May 28, 2008 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
His ERA will drop significanly over the next couple months.
Though hopefully not tonite.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
TB won
We should win this one…
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
OK then
We will

Hahahaha
I wasn’t paying too much attention when I posted. I meant that if we lose again to the M’s, I’ll be very pissed. Because they suck. And because once again we’ll lose a series on the road. And because Tampa won. :)

Now would be a good time for Casey's only HR of the year
I wouldn’t mind. :)
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Crap ... just foul!
I thought The Mayor had an opposite field double there
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Me too
Casey DP

Meh...
It looks like it’ll be another of those long nights…
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
On the bright side
Bedard has a high pitch count.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on May 28, 2008 11:06 PM EDT up reply actions
7 K's for Bedard
But 4 of those against Cash and Lugo. So, make it 3 K’s… :)

I was thinking the same thing

Yawn
Is it worth my staying up til 1am again to watch the end of this game?
3 points, 47 seconds left
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Wait... Wait a second...
How come is Cairo batting 2nd? Better be GREAT numbers against Wake. Or I’ll be offended.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Who cares?
It’s Miguel Cairo. He sucks.

Walks Lowell on pitch 101
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Wake looking fine tonight
Unfortunate that he’s been so inconsistent.
He keeps his team in the game
More often than not.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on May 28, 2008 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often
But I guess it’s a testament to Cash’s prowess behind the dish that so few batters reach on the wild pitch / passed ball.
Here's Morrow again
Drew hitting for Cash
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
4-pitch walk for Drew.
Lugo likely bunting …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
He just hit 99 mph

Dusty is usually good in these spots ...
Fingers crossed

Almost a nice play by Lugo

Ichiro has to be running with Tek behind the plate
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Crap
Tek air-mails one to CF

Why did Tek even bother?
Bad decision, in my opinion, even if they got him.
Nice play by Lowell
Great outing by Wake
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Backett pitched well in that game
Wake was better tonight
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

It's up to Papi, Manny, and Lowell
Rally caps …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
got mine on
My staff now knows not to get near me for the next 10 minutes. No calls, no meetings, no interuptions. And if they lose again, the staff will stay well away from me for the rest of the day.
I only ask
because I’m the only person in my office without a window.
(sniff)
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Agreed

Lugo non sac again
Julio can’t even get a sac bunt down…two nights in a row. He shows the bunt too soon, then bunts balls, not strikes. Nice contribution for 9Mill/yr!!
Probably wouldn't have mattered
Ellsbury and Dusty did nothing
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on May 29, 2008 12:15 AM EDT up reply actions
Maybe
Remember, it’s Manny. He needs a HR to score
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Please, Lord
Let Mikey BOMB this one… :)
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
It's up to The Mayor
Now would be a good time …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
BOMB THIS, CASEY!
Please… God? Someone?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Yup

Youk in... To run?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
The Boston Red Sox
Can’t Even Score One Run.
I'll give us a pass on this one because Bedard and Morrow were great
But, god, we lost the series against the M’s. THE M’S…
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
