MFY down, 3-0 against the Bucs.

This game has a completely different feel from last night

The Sox have 3 hits so far in the first.

How long has it been since we last scored 10 runs?

Too long

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 7:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I can't say I'm too surprised

Ells has been somewhat cold as of late, Manny is also not bombing a HR each and every game like he was, Drew is coming back to Earth, Tek is getting older… Not having Papi is a bitch.

Did you guys see

This?

nah

hadn’t seen it. It’d be nice to have the old Papi back.

Nice play by Coco to hold the runner at first

Too many ball hit in the air

Masterson seems to be leaving the ball up in the zone.

He's also throwing a lot of balls

That was close to a HR

Drew caught that right in front of the wall. Masterson isn’t sharp.

Solid single by Coco

Brandon Moss

Why don’t we call Chris Carter up? Moss sucks right now, he isn’t seeing the ball well enough and as far as I remember Carter can also play 1B.

Murphy is a nice player

But the Sox had no room for him. Drew is signed long-term. They’re committed to Ellsbury, and then there’s Manny.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Moss was rated ahead of Murphy

He was the MVP in Portland and Pawtucket. That said, if Papi wasn’t on the DL, Moss would be in the minors.

So could Coco

Those teams aren’t very good.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm sure Carter will get the call if Youk will miss significant time

Pittsburgh up 5-1 on MFY

Yep, Rasner’s time is up.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:22 PM EDT   0 recs

That's not what I mean

For about 6 or 7 starts, Rasner was the MFY’s best pitcher. It looks like the hitters have figured him out.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

The Marlins just tied the Rays at 2

2 on, 2 out, Hanley up …

Hey I know this is completly random

But can someone explain to me why the MFY’s are wasting 1.3 billion $$$ on a new stadium?

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:29 PM EDT   0 recs

More luxury boxes, etc. ...

and they’re not paying for all of it

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

I know taxpayers sure are

That 4-pitch walk was not pretty

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

4 pitch walk now for J-Mas

His worst start so far…

Followed by a bomb

Masterson does not look good

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:32 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree Completly

I guess it is time to get our bats moving

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nothing like a 2-out, 4-pitch walk

C’mon Masterson.

Wow

A ground ball …

Okay

Jesus, please, some runs. I’m BEGGIN here…

by MerryGoByeBye on Jun 24, 2008 8:35 PM EDT   0 recs

Really? Why?

I think they’re pretty average. We could beat ‘em when we’re actually playing.

Webb and Haren spell trouble in a short series

Sabathia and Carmona also did last season

And we ended up well enough.

True

Right now, my main worry is Papi’s health.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed

With Papi, we’re the best team in the MLB. Without Papi, we need Drew, Youk and Lowell to play over their heads.

After the Super Bowl

I wanted to sweep the Mets, but they won’t make the playoffs.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm not sure anyone could manage that team

They’re just not very good.

Talent is there

Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Pelfrey, Maine, Santana, Wagner
All can do some damage when on

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not enough

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Your right

but they just barely lost to St. Louis with that team in 2006, so the NL is weak enough for them to still succeed

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That was 2 years ago

It’s true the NL is weak. But the Mets’ pitching isn’t significantly better than the Phillies, and they definitely aren’t as good offensively.

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:48 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I disagree with the offense part

They still have farm system enough to trade for a replacement for Delgado

by sox-inda-south on Jun 24, 2008 8:49 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They don't have much in the farm

And Philly’s offense is much better.

Fernando Martinez anyone?

17 years old and in double-A him plus Heilman gets you Kyle Lohse or Richie Sexson…..just kidding :)

That's it ...

and he is hurt.

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 24, 2008 8:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed

They have too many holes, and a lot of those guys are really not playing well now.

Third walk for Masterson

Dice-K must have had a few words with Masterson before the game

Walk them, a good pitcher must walk a shitload of hitters.
