Pawtucket

It might do him good. He has the same problem Lester had: Great stuff, but he just doesn’t trust it enough. If sending him to Pawtucket helps in that matter, than we should do just that. Otherwise, force Timlin to retire or DFA him or something like that. I know the FO has too much respect for Timlin, and I do too. But we need better arms coming from the pen.

Yep

If Timlin start throwing the good stuff again, it could buy us some time with the young relievers (Masterson, Hansen, Bard, and the others), which would be big.

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.

I thought Lopez did well

He was just left in for far too long. I mean 37 pitches is alot for him. He started out very strong and toward the end he was leaving pitches up in the zone.

Game

First of all, the pen was shaky but didn’t allow a run, which is great. I think Oki is coming back to his old form, so things are looking better yet again in the pen.

I’d like to see more of Aar. It seems that he only pitches in games I’m not watching. Only because I like saying ‘Aar’, I guess.

Oh, 18 runs is sweet. :)

Best game I never saw

Actually, I saw one inning.

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

The game actually started very ugly

The Sox weren’t hit Hernandez well enough, and he sucks. Also, Beckett didn’t have one of his best starts. It only got really beautiful when their bullpen came into the game. :)
