Morneau homers
Come on Beckett, what’s wrong with you?
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.
Anyone around?
This looks like it will be a loooong game.

Livan doesn’t look good. His stuff is not great, and I’m guessing the Sox will jack him.

Beckett & the 3 run first innings
must be an inside joke

The pitch Morneau homered was very ugly
He’s not looking very strong.

I actually only noticed this now
How come Tek is batting 7th, ahead of Moss? That doesn’t make any sense.

the guy with Castiglione is really annoying… dont know his name but his voice & topics of conversation ( he says he was the only Twins fan in Maine) make me miss Remy & Orsillo even more…I’d take Morgan & Miller over this guy

Casey!!!
Sox on top now, 4-3.

Hernandez ain't got nothing
With a little bit more of luck, this game would be already 7-3 Sox.

78 pitches already for Beckett
If he gets a GIDP here on only pitch, he may last 7 innings. :)

Man, I love this dude. He looks like such a power hitter while only being able to hit singles, but hit ‘em a shitload of times.

In that vein
He needs to spend more time with Mike Timlin.
Totally unafraid to throw strikes. And yet, he should be.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
You'll probably be calling him Pawtucket Red Sox RP Craig Hansen
When Masterson is ready…
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
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.

Casey ends it
More of these innings, please.

Anyone find it interesting that Bailey came in to PR?
Just to get him into the game somehow? Or is Coco for some reason not going to come in for defense in the top of the 8th?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I'm guessing
They want to give Bailey some big league swings.
Which he might not get anyway.
Unless something disastrous happens, or the Sox hit a LOT in the 8th, he won’t bat anyway.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Little paranoid
But anyone see him on the bench in the broadcast or anything?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
And he's not.
...very interesting.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Agreed
I personally wish they had brough up Chris Carter again. He did great for the little time he was up here and he didn’t play the green monster too bad.
Agreed

MFY wins 2-1
Capt Int walked to start the rally…
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
So, the Sox scored 7 runs in the 7th
too bad they didnt have one of those inane corporate-sponsored promos ( like : the 4th batter in the 4th inning has to hit a grand slam).
I wonder if anyone ever wins…
my shackles are being released; I am going home…
good night all, thx for the updates

I would have let 'Tek hit
in that situation especially since he’s actually been hitting today. But then again everyone and their brother is hitting today (see HR by kevin f’ing cash)
Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.
Good point.
Even if it’s kind of garbage time, he was in a rhythm, try to let him stay in it.
Can’t argue with the results, I suppose. :)
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Add insult to injury
HR by Youk, 18-5
Where was this against the Rays?
Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.
Is that Timlin hitting 93 on the gun?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Did he FB hit over 90 any time this season before the DL?
I just can’t remember if it did.

Seemed like he was getting up to maybe 91 when he really reached back.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
First pitch to Punto had some good movement on it too.
Is it possible he’s going to prove us all wrong, again?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Strikes out Punto
Game.
Timlin showing Lopez and Hansen how it’s done.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Timlin just doesn't have the stuff anymore
Which is sad, because he’s very strong in the mound. Our bullpen guys should indeed learn from him.

The stuff was there in the 9th inning.
Whether that’s a blip or not, who knows…
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
He looked great on AAA, I heard
Let’s hope he’s back or even close to his old form.

Exactly.
He’s never going to be the 8th inning guy again, or maybe even first-choice in the 7th. But nothing about today’s outing was cringeworthy at all. Let’s hope he can build on it.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
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.

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. :)

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. :)
