Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays, Jul 1, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
V.
And the lineups.
No Lugo. 7-8-9 looks awful. Let's hope Ells can get something going to break out of his slump.

Lugo could’ve made that error.

Yep. Tito should've given him the night off (Extra Bases) anyway.

At this point, he's a great backup 2B defensively.
Range is average to subpar at SS, and he hasn’t played 3B in how long?
Also, good to see you.

Sit down, Hinske
I read that article in the site of SI, about knuckleballers, and they said Wake could even pitch until he’s 50 or so. I guess he couldn’t, but if such thing happens, I’m all in for it. He’s not the best pitcher ever, and sometimes he sucks, but I got a weakness for the knuckler.

I don't think he'd be the same guy with a great FB
They’d probably have tried to make him develop a good curve or slider to go with it.
Just doesn’t work for me.

Loaded for Lowell
Manny had a great pitch to hit 3-1. He just missed it.

Don't swing, Cora
Just close your eyes, keep your bat on your shoulder, and hope for a walk.

A double works for me.

Varitek looks like he is using an ax rather than a bat

No
He probably wasn’t a Rays fan until last week either.

Is that gloating by a troll visitor? It’s July & it isnt a play off or world series win—
The Sox will be fine—- tomorrow is another day

No gloating, just stopping by to say GO RAYS!!!
by Rays Rule on Jul 1, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
normally I dont feed the trolls but
ya said much way than “go rays” & it wasn’t substantive. If you want to talk sports I am sure plenty of OTMers will engage you.
I was not a Sox fan or born in 1918 but that being said your comments are nonsensical. Congrats for being a Rays fan hopefully they will win a series in your lifetime—those of us at OTM have witnessed two by our beloved Sox but we cheer for our Sox all the time – even when we seem to be pi$$ers…
Have a nice night; & I think i speak for all when I say—feel free to stop by & talk baseball ( & not trash) anytime

I was born and raised in St Peterburg, Florida. I jave been a Rays Fan since their inception
Just figured I’d let you know. Now were you a Sox Fan prior to the first World Series they won in 2004? Unless your an old geezer and are amazingly alive when the won what seems forever ago before that.

Wake pitched a great game.

A lot of our hitters are not hitting shit lately
Taco, Youk, Tek, and others I can’t remember. And we’re already playing without Papi, so our line-up is effed up right now.

Taco was money tonight though
Forcing errors, stealing bags and driving JP Howell batty. If the middle part of our lneup had done anything right he would’ve had three runs.
I’m worried about Manny. He needs a break. We should vote him out of the All Star game so he gets a couple days gwtting his head straight with playstation2, or however he spends his free time.
Manny ain't the only bad man.

Yeah, Manny needs a break
And while Taco had a nice game, it was quite a while since he had anything at all going for him. Let’s hope he’s back to his old self.

And Manny must play Grim Fandango. I don’t know why I always picture him playing GF. :)
