Boston Red Sox at Chicago White Sox, Aug 11, 2008 8:11 PM EDT



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Josh Beckett 10-8 4.08 1.20 134 29

V.


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - John Danks 9-4 3.21 1.21 112 36

Hmm.



Hmm again. No Papi, Coco leading off?

If Papi needs off, are we sure we couldn't do this?:

DP, Youks, Drew, Bay, Lowell, Lowrie, Ells, Tek, Crisp?

Everyone should feel free to submit their own "better-than-Tito's" lineup to start the thread. Hopefully Papi is just sitting because of Danks being LH. Speaking of which, Coco does have an .884 OPS vs. LHPs this season...still like my lineup better.

Yikes

Ellsbury in RF has no arm. A struggling Mike Lowell hitting clean-up. If they’re going to DH an OF, how about Bay? He is by far the worst defensive OF of the four.

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

He has a decent arm.

Not as good as Drew but still very good.

this is blatant self-pimping, but whatever:

brushing up on josh beckett

i take the pitch f/x data to do a scouting report. nothing you guys don’t already know until you get to the bottom. i wouldn’t mind some notes since you guys get to see him all the time and i wrote that without any game tape in hand.

I will say that one of your big 3 power hitters will get one...

and another less powerful player will get a multi-RBI HR. We are gonna be playing small ball to best of our abilities tonight, IMO.
My perfect lineup w/o Papi (as perfect as can be anyways):
Ells, DP, JD, Youk, Bay, Jed, Lowell, Tek, Coco

Coco’s hit lefties pretty well (124 OPS+, vs 66 against righthanders). That’s why he leads off Lowell should not be this high, at least until he starts hitting again. I’m okay with this lineup.

Btw.

Anyone subject themselves to Jon Heyman today?

Long story short is that he believes Manny might’ve/was tanking it his last few weeks, but that it had nothing to do with Boras being his new agent. In my opinion, there’s only two things to believe about Manny and his last month/whatever in Boston.

1. He was ailing/hurt, and didn’t need to do anything that would aggravate his knee further.
2. He and Boras orchestrated the entire chain of events in order to get him out of Boston and into a big contract in the offseason.

I don’t give a F. what side anyone comes down on, I just can’t imagine a scenario in which, if he was tanking, Scott Boras had nothing to do with it.

I don't like football

And I don’t like the hype around it. I’m a big fan of two guys these days: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning (yeah, contradiction, I know). This might sound moronic, but the football I like is the crazy wild one, like the Rams had back a few years, and the one with Dan Marino as a QB. These days everything seems too mechanic, I don’t know, but meanwhile there are too many dumb coaches and bad QBs on the field. So that’s why I watch the Patriots and the Colts, because when they play I always expect fun.

Not too much a contradiction, I think.

Different in a lot of ways, but they’re both (as much as I hate to admit this about Peyton) big-time “winners”, for whatever that term is worth, and seem able to elevate the play of some of those around them. Both very good at decision-making.

Good

A fly out is more like it.

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.

Jr flies out.

So far, Kenny Williams is probably regretting acquiring him.

Game

Nice win. Great work by Beckett to keep us in this one.

Great game everyone!

It didn’t look good for quite a while. Thankfully, JD Drew came through big, after spending most of the trip with his bat on his shoulders.

No problem

Thanks for shutting out the MFY.

A hearty thank you to the Twins and their fans as well.

The MFYs losing always puts a smile on my face.

Beckett was also clutch.

He seems to pick up his play against great teams, like the ChiSox or the Yankees.

13 RBI in 10 games.

243 OPS+ entering play tonight.

WHATEVER happened with him and Boras and the Sox and effort and injury, he’s getting that big contract he wants.

Any NL team that gives him 4 years is crazy

In the AL he can DH.

Any NL team that gives a clearly rapidly declining Andruw Jones

2 years $36M is crazy. :)

Allen

Who do you see picking up Manny? And for how much? I’d guess LAD for 3 years $17 million each.

by 0157H7 on Aug 11, 2008 11:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Could see LAD

Could see LAA, if they decline GA’s option. Could see Detroit, if they can unload the Sheff somehow. Phillies if/when they make their less-than-sincere effort to retain Pat Burrell. Mets, because Omar Minaya hasn’t been shy in his interest before. CWS, when/if they don’t exercise Thome’s option, that looks like it may not vest on its own.

Could see Phillies/Mets duking it out.

One or both of whom will get unreasonable.

Especially if Pat Gillick moves on.
