Sox lineup:
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, LF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. David Ortiz, DH
4. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
5. Mike Lowell, 3B
6. J.D. Drew, RF
7. Jed Lowrie, SS
8. Jason Varitek, C
9. Coco Crisp, CF
SP -- Josh Beckett
Papi returns. Manny sits out another game. Ells is still batting leadoff (though he was in the 9-hold before Manny was scratched). Will the Jed-i Master continue to impress? Can the Sox get to Joba early? Let's hope so.

With Molina and Gardner
This should be (more of) a piece of cake for Beckett. I think.

Drew is batting 6th, and Ells is still leading off. Holy motherfucking stupidity, Batman.

Yeah, I just read it
That’s more like it, however 6th is still kind of low for Drew in the order. So I apologize to Francona.

You know
I always hated Batman because the Joker was always a better character. Batman is all gay and stuff, and don’t get me started on Robin. However, Joker always got fucked, and Batman won the hot girl. Never liked it.
Except for the old Batman show. Batman was fat, so you wanted him to kick some ass, Steven Seagal way. I liked him, but only because he was fat.

From Rotoworld
“WPGB’s Rocco DeMaro tells Rotoworld that a deal involving Xavier Nady is imminent.
The Rays, Yankees, Mets and Braves were among the team’s interested in Nady, with Tampa Bay supposedly the strongest suitor. For what it’s worth, Rays shortstop prospect Reid Brignac is not starting for Triple-A Durham tonight. He’s someone the Pirates would likely ask for in a Nady deal.”

They won't retaliate tonight
If there’s anything, it’ll be in tomorrow’s game. Warnings have been issued, so people will get tossed right away tonight.

3-1 count to A-Rod
Hit him in the head, MDC.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Trainer's on the mound with MDC
If he’s injured, we’re gonna be in major trouble with relief.

I had to go out for a sec
Did Joba hit Youk, and nothing happened on it? How did Beckett look?

Joba hit Youk's bat
Which stopped it from hitting him square in the helmet. In other words, foul ball. Beckett was pretty good, couple of line drives. A few cheapies.

Thanks
9 hits is too much, but a pretty good start for Beckett I guess.

I meant Delcarmen is hurt and out the game, not Beckett, who is also out of the game but not hurt.

There we go
I’d feel a lot better if the next three hitters weren’t Varitek, Coco, and Ellsbury.
by Gnick on Jul 25, 2008 9:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well Manny should have PH'd for either Tek or Coco
by soxaholic on Jul 25, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not good Tek, not good
I know you can’t bunt, but popping out was very weak.
by soxaholic on Jul 25, 2008 9:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
When we get a man on base, with the chance to take the lead or at least tie the game
And when we can do that against some ass, and not Mariano, our 3 hitters in a row are Tek, Crisp and Ells, and no PH are called. I know Coco wouldn’t be playing if it wasn’t for Manny’s injury, but, man…

It could be Tek, Crisp, LUGO, Ells…

And when Coco doesn't start
it’s Cash, Cora, Casey, and Crisp. I challenge another team to come up more players whose names being with “C” on their bench.

2 men on, top of the order, 1 out, Mo in
I don’t like our chances. But if this ever gets to Papi, then it would look MUCH better.

If Oki has turned the corner
and Masterson is for real, and we have two months of Manny and Papi, then yes, this team is the team to beat.
Manny ain't the only bad man.

Papi will hit 10 more home runs at most this year and finish below .265. I don’t see him helping us this season. We’ll have to step it up to beat either Tampa or New York.

10 more than Coco

Jacoby should try to bunt for a base hit every time.
Every single time. Make something happen.

The thing about this game is:
Joba had a great, great game. I’m not pissed at our bats.

I'm mad that when we had a chance
That is, guy on first facing a weak pitcher, we had Tek, Coco and Ells due up. That was bad.

Sure it's frustrating
but sometimes you’ve gotta tip your cap.
Though I would like Youk to show Joba a world of hurt.

Good pitching beats good hitting, I guess
Too bad the only run of the game was sort of bad luck for us.

Does Francona know what a pinch hitter is?????????????
I am really getting disappointed by his managment decisions/style more and more. Anyway, I was very happy to see Oki do well. I hope he can keep it up. To balance that good comment out, I must say that Varitek looks very, very poor offensively when it really counts with only an occasional rally. Is that good ernough??
Losing on the road to GOOD teams is one thing, but also losing as well at home may spell real trouble.

You know
The ump fucked us all over. Strike 3 to Ells was outside, Strike 3 to Drew was sort of outside as well. But strike 3 to Mikey was one of the worst calls I saw in my life. While Beckett had a tight strike zone to work. The HP ump fucked this one up.
Not that we lost because of this. We lost with this shit going on.
