Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

GameThread: Red Sox @ Tigers

I just figured that out. And I am glad that I did - Hansen looks nasty. Orel Hershiser says he has an elite arm. 96 MPH fastball, and a 87 MPH slider that drops about two feet right before it reaches the plate. I am drooling.

In other news, Dice BB walked EIGHT FRICKIN GUYS. In five innings. Though he managed to only allow one run. Crazy.

Anyways, I guess this can be an open thread, if anyone out there is on-site...

ESPN just dropped the G-Word on him.

Lowell just missed 2nd homer of the game

Sheffield picked it at the fence.

Hansen out for another inning

I probably jinxed him.

Hansen

He looked good, right? Why did he face Sheffield is beyond me…

They pitched around Veritek to get to Lugo

who then strikes out. That shows the mindset of teams that they all know about Lugo in the clutch. He stinks. He is a glaring weakness that will come back to haunt this team when it really counts. Please somehow pre-empt this from happening!

Word

Do you feel Hansen might be an improvement over Timlin? Because I’d be doing backflips if so…

13 pitches for Oki to get through

1.1 innings. Why can’t he teach Dice-K something?

Papi!

He’s up to .225. Which isn’t great, but considering he was about .081 three weeks ago, I will take it.

FYU

The “I just figured that out” in the first line of the post was referring to the original title, which had noted that the game was on ESPN.

FYI, not FYU

But while I’m at it, FYU too.
