Go Sox!

Mother---- him and John Wayne!

MFY already down 4-0

With Halladay on the mound for Toronto. I’d love to see the MFY finish 4th.

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

Nice catch by Taco

GG, you think?

He robs shitloads of doubles, and is yet to make an error. He doesn’t have much of an arm, however.

Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Not likely

GGs usually go to the usual suspects: Hunter, Ichiro, etc.

Yeah, that pisses me off a bit

GG are dumb by many reasons, and this is one of them.

This may be an interesting game

Lots of sun. I expect to see a few misplayed balls in the OF.

Was it Quentin

Who earlier this season was hit in the head by a flyball after missing it with the glove? I don’t remember who was but that was pretty funny. :)

Last night's play was strange

I’ve never seen a runner get picked off with such a small lead. Cora was half a step from the bag.

Bad call

It didn’t look like Ortiz went around.

by Drugs Delaney on Aug 31, 2008 2:27 PM EDT reply actions  

It happens.

Every time Ortiz gets pissed I think he’s going to get ejected. He still doesn’t seem 100% to me – appears to be swinging at a lot of junk out of the strike zone.

Ellsbury drives in Bailey.

Did anyone see that barehanded play by CC?

Comebacker, and he just sticks his hand out and catches it, and then doubles the runner off first.

my thoughts exactly

the Sox just need to do what they’ve been doing to make the playoffs; they dont have to win the division EVERY year :-).

I know last year was the 1st in along time & it was sweet bc the MFY were in in the mix

have a good night everyone

by MassGal on Aug 31, 2008 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

is it just me..

or do we seem to always drop that 3rd game of a series? And of course when Tampa smoked the Orioles again. Regrettably I’m conceded the division, but we are still looking sweet for the wc. All I know is the Angels will be shitting themselves having to play us again in the playoffs. My question is this(and yes I am too lazy to do the research myself), but when are these guys expected to return healthy?
Youk
Drew
Beckett
Lowell
I mean seriously, it was nice to take 4 out of the last 6, but that lineup we are throwing out there will have serious difficulty overcoming quality starting pitching.

by sydneysox on Aug 31, 2008 6:54 PM EDT reply actions  

on "Baseball Tonight"

they said Drew could play Tuesday; Beckett will pitch Friday; Lowell will be back next week, too. Don’t know about Youk. Speculation also was that Wakefield is not right. He could be still be injured. His mechanics looked bad today.

I don’t think the Angels — who went 8-0 against us this year – are “shitting themselves” thinking about the prospect of playing us in the playoffs. Probably the other way around, at least the way things have gone this year.

At this point, one thing at a time. We have to make the playoffs first. I can’t believe the Twins keep winning. I’m with you on this current Boston lineup – too weak for the long haul, but, hopefully, not much longer.

By the way, I’d like to see Casey back, too. No word on him.

by ccthemovieman on Aug 31, 2008 9:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Youk just came down with a stomach flu virus (like Crisp).

He should be back soon, hopefully. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few days?

Casey has back issues and is on the DL. Not sure about his ETA.

by 0157H7 on Aug 31, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

I disagree

I reckon we have the wood on the Angels. Yeah, I know the argument isn’t sabermetrically sound, however sabermetrically we are the better team, well at least based on our pythag.
