Ellsbury the catalyst?
Single to right, steal, takes third on the CS attempt error.
Nobody here?
Hello? We could WIN today, guys. First.
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
You aren't first
But why is it worth mentioning even if you were?
whatever. It's a game.
Do you have the lineup?

Weak Sox line up
Tek, Cora, Crisp … yikes.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

... and that ends the power portion of the line-up
Now Casey, Tek, Cora, and Coco …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
This is going to be one of those games
Where the strike zone absolutely disappears for Matsuzaka.
Evening All
Go Sox!!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

I cant remember the last time i saw a guy who got himself into more jams and somehow managed to work out of them time and time again. Its unreal.
I can't think of one

had lunch some MFY fans Sunday & have to ask
seriously – when did MFY fans become so pathetic? High fiving each other over beating the Royals & a Sox loss? Dare I say it, they are like the Sox fans of old
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I know what you mean
Every time they win a series from an AL doormat, all you hear is how the MFY are back.

That sucks. Is he the best Red Sox of all-time?
or is it teddy ballgame?
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Williams was better
Manny probably too. But Yaz was great—and clutch.

He who hesitates is tagged out between home and first base.

True
But he may have had him anyway on the forceout.

he did pick it up after he dropped it

making dinner
popping in to check out game— so I guess Dice K is up to his usual tricks
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Yup
Lots of walks, few hits and runs.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Aug 19, 2008 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Im starting to think when it comes to dice-k they should throw conventional wisdom aside and let him throw 130-150 pitches a game. They say he did it all the time in japan, and i feel like the pressure of the pitch count really gets to him.
I'm not sure
He looked tired at the end of last season. This year he looke better, in part because he has thrown a lot less.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Aug 19, 2008 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions
but i feel like iv seen him stunned a few times this year to be coming out of games with a lead because his pitch count hit 100. And since hes done more and more nibbling, trying to induce quick outs, leading to longer pitch counts, and more walks.
He has to learn how to be more efficient
The Sox need him fresh in October.

Is anyone else getting the Comcast gameday packages for free?
i’m not complaining, just wondering.

ummm- NO
am jealous

That was close
Papi just missed a double

Interesting bit of trivia from Extra Bases:
Jason Varitek’s second inning homer was his 10th and he’s now the first Red Sox catcher to have hit 10 or more homers in 9 seasons. Carlton Fisk did it in 8 with the Red Sox.
This pitching matchup is of the pitchers with the most walks in the AL
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
awkward silence; a gay baby is born.
pedroia just misses the great play

just realized Cabrera was pitching for the O's
I think he is nuts & not in the good way like Tavarez
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I guess Tito was right to play Cora
Based on his career numbers against Cabrera. Why oh why was Casey going to third though???
Is anyone on the Sox slower than Sean Casey?
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
In the majors?
Maybe the Big Hurt. Hafner possibly?
Casey cut down at third.
You are NOT FAST!

I don't care
How Coco gets on, as long as he gets on.

This is ridiculous!
This shouldn’t be possible in professional baseball!
Geez
Toronto crushes Beckett Sunday and, so far, have only 2 hits off Rasner tonight.

what shouldnt be allowed in baseball is
Rasner shutting out any team

Good evening people
Cora and Crisp doing what we can expect ’em to do: Sucking momentum, and just plain sucking while at 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.
MFR down, 2-1
But they have 2 on scoring position, no outs, Shields at the mound.

Lowrie in at third
Youk to first, Casey to the bench. Masterson on the hill.

The new IF:
Bailey – 1B, Cora – 2B, Lowrie – SS, and Youk – 3B. Dusty -dugout because he was tossed.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
That's pretty scary
And if anyone should go down? Cash at first?
Good question

My depth chart
3B: Youk, Lowrie, Cora, Bailey (?)
SS: Lowrie, Cora
2B: Cora, Lowrie
1B: Youk, Bailey, Cora, Cash
According to Baseball Reference
Cora has logged 3 career innings at 1B and 76 at 3B.
In other words
No one is left.
