Great start with Papi's HR
but Wake’s knuckleball isn’t knuckling, and that’s bad news
Kotsay is a dead spot in the line-up lately
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
I stand behind my 50-50 seismic meltdown comments about Wakefield!
In a big game, he is just too unpredictable and easy to hit. At best, the sox will need to score 5 to win even if Wake has an acceptable game for him. This version of the Sox cannot be counted on to always score 5 runs especially against good pitchers. If a bad Wake shows up, it is over by the 4th!
Many times that's true
and I don’t why you take so much abuse here for stating the truth. It looks like it’s one of those bad nights for him.

"Bandwagon Nation go home?"
I find that sign hypocratic. Pot-kettle-black.
I said I wouldn’t come on yesterday, but I am bored. GO Sox!
My last sig was too long, so my new one is: He who hesitates is a mediocre ambidextrious stupid person who thinks the Rays suck and stole Joe Maddon's shoes while thinking he was at a baseball game but was at church.
Agreed.
That would pretty much empty out the stadium. Not a bad idea, so the hardcore fans could move down.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Draysbay: 217 comments. OverTheMonster: 5 comments.
They started commenting 2 and a half hours before gametime. Obsessive?
Home run Gabe Gross. Disgusting.

Wakefield getting rocked. Back to back jobs, 3 HRs allowed so far.
NG was right….
The knuckleball doesnt work as well in a dome because there is no wind.

Read my lips--Big games are different
Also, Wakefield is getting too old, like so many of the Sox, and he cannot cut it in big games on a predictable enough basis.
Why is he still in there?? Are we already conceding this one??

I did.
I actually witnessed his first loss at the Trop last year on Sept. 23.
He’s gettin old.

Hey, I was there too!
So that’s how we both got the BJ Upton bats. I was in a suite that we won as a gift for my sister.

That's exactly what I told my wife
before the game. I’d rather see Wakefield outdoors, although he has had some good games in a dome.

Ellsbury hitting lately
like the Ellsbury of last fall. Good to see! We’ll need his bat in the playoffs.
You got to cut Ells some slack because of his speed, even
when he slumps a bit. He can turn trash ground balls into hits, and once on base, he has about an 80% chance of using his speed to make good things happen that most cannot. I want to encourage him in every way possibly because I see him as the future. He needs to lead-off like today because of his speed traits.
BTW, THANK GOD FRANCONA FINALLY IS GETTING WAKEFIELD OUT OF THERE! Howev r, has he already waited too long in this important, almost critical to me, game!!

OK NG, go off on a tanget about momentum sucking
"Cause I’m a believer!

Momentum?? It has already been sucked away
Despite Ell’s and Papi’s best efforts, Due to Wakefield’s meltdown, the momemtum is gone gone gone. most likely for good tonight!

What is it with you and “momentum”? Does the word comeback not mean anything to you? Do you just use that word constantly to justify your lack of faith?
I asked for it that time
My last sig was too long, so my new one is: He who hesitates is a mediocre ambidextrious stupid person who thinks the Rays suck and stole Joe Maddon's shoes while thinking he was at a baseball game but was at church.
There is a difference between faith and
using personel that cannot do the job. It is the lack of faith in certain personnel that leads to my observations on momentum slipping away in important situations. Everyone can have a bad at bat or a bad game now and then, but there are certain personnel that just cannot consistently (if ever) deliver in important situations, and you know who they are!
by NG on Sep 17, 2008 8:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I know who you think they are, but I also think you overreact to slumps. For you to even suggest MIke Lowell and David Ortiz are something along the lines of “just about done” at the low points of their seasons leads me to believe you are not so much giving us your insight as much as you are venting.
You may be partly right
in that I certainly do feel the need to vent when the Sox collapse for (to me) predictable reasons! However, age caused injuries and slower recovery times for these two that you mentioned tend to bolster my arguments more than yours, IMHO! BTW, I never said either of these was through, only that they may be getting near their useful end, especially Lowell.

My last sig was too long, so my new one is: He who hesitates is a mediocre ambidextrious stupid person who thinks the Rays suck and stole Joe Maddon's shoes while thinking he was at a baseball game but was at church.
Signing off for tonight,
partly because I am feeling just too negative now, and partly because I see no point in pushing these points any further for now. Hopefully the Sox can come-back, but they have to gather the lost momentum back now from the almost impossible hole Wakefield has dug for them!
Wait, NG is feeling negative?!?!?!?!

You know that whole terrorist attack thing that we were just commemorating? Those kinda things usually bring a lot more people to military areas in big cities. That census was from 2000, and those numbers don’t include people who are employed on the base but not in the military. A lot of people are here because their family moved and they stayed here after they retired.

Our Chicken Little:
I stand behind my 50-50 seismic meltdown comments about Wakefield!
In a big game, he is just too unpredictable and easy to hit. At best, the sox will need to score 5 to win even if Wake has an acceptable game for him. This version of the Sox cannot be counted on to always score 5 runs especially against good pitchers. If a bad Wake shows up, it is over by the 4th!
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
also:
Read my lips—Big games are different
Also, Wakefield is getting too old, like so many of the Sox, and he cannot cut it in big games on a predictable enough basis.
Why is he still in there?? Are we already conceding this one??
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
and those are just from tonight.
Usually he’s worse.

It should be on the Nightly News...
“Hello, I’m [insert preferred anchor], and this is tonight’s news…
On the front page of tomorrow’s Sports section in your local newspaper, you will see a headline along these lines:
‘NG PROCLAIMS DOOM!’”

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
It sux the Sox might not win the division but it is what it is ; NG = doom & gloom
The Sox will just have to do their thing in the WC
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

He would probably be happy about that.
It would extend his chance to proclaim our eventual damnation…

OKI's in!
Let’s see if he can get all the way back to 07 form

Hello everyone
Home just now. Is everyone’s momentum sucked enough? :)
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Yes.
The Rays fans aren’t helping.

this group of Rays fans is just fine
Maybe some PSA-ers will stop by during the MFY series

Oh god, please no
And I’m also okay with the Rays fans. They’re even sort of funny. :)

You know
I’m okay with Wake giving 3 homers, I think shit happens. But I’m not okay with giving up 3 homers to the likes of Willy Aybar, Gabe Gross and Fernando Perez. That’s just not right.

Then what is it?

OK, good night
I’ll stay until the end- rare that I get to see the Sox so win or lose, I watch

Before I go
MFY won 5-1 over CWS

To any Rays fans around here
Doesn’t Howell have the stuff to start? Couldn’t he be better than Edwin Jackson who, come on, sucks?
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Not really...
and if you want I can get 20 people over here to debate about EJax
Boom. Outta Here.
by Ryan Gilliss on Sep 17, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Really? Why?
I mean, Sonnanstine doesn’t have the numbers, but he’s a good starter, he has some good stuff, is smart and all. Jackson doesn’t have anything.
At least I think so, but I never watched many games from the guy.

I have to agree with NG about the roster -- it kinda sux
Is Drew ever coming back?
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I hope so
But I wouldn’t be surprised if he missed the POs.

It's doesn't help that you go rid of the greatest right handed hitter of the last 20 some years

I wouldn't
And I love Manny like any other guy from MA does.

Yes total bandwagoner.
Mid 97 for the Sox, 2004 for the Bears, since birth for the GATORS!!!
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
no one " got rid" of Manny
Manny was already gone… this is an old story; Sox did fine without him – everyone expected them to fold after the trade-
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I didn't expect them to fold...
you got plenty for him. I don’t use “got rid” the same as “gave away”

either way it doesnt matter

please
It is what it is
The Manny debate is nonsensical. He wanted out, wasn’t going to produce , ticked of teammates, coaches, etc.
I am a huge Manny fan but I root for the Red Sox, always have…Sox are fine
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Magic number = 9
Rays own the tie breaker! Have fun in Toronto. Burnett on Friday and Halladay on Saturday. Ouch!

National broadcasts like ESPN gamenight
are measures of where/what the national network folks think the important teams are at this crucial time of year. Guess who is on TV nationally tomorrow night—-Tampa Bay vs. Minn..
I feel certain that if the Sox had performed better the last 2 nights that the sox might be on nationally against Toronto. So the tide has ?? shifted, and if the Sox don’t get their managerial/player personnel collective asses in gear, the networks might well have it correct.
They might also get accused of being pro-Sox if they showed another Sox game...
Not that it would be a new concept…
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Tampa-Minny would have been the ESPN game no matter what
Both of those teams have a shot at the post-season. Toronto is done. Thus, the Twins-Rays match-up is more interesting nationally.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Besides the lack of fans to fill up either stadium.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
I don't get the point
The Red Sox are doomed… Because… Their game is not… on TV nationally? The tide has shifted because… People might want to watch the Rays and Twins game?!

by MerryGoByeBye on Sep 18, 2008 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions
IN the opinion of network broadcasters,
the Sox are not that good now. That is the only point.

Oh, okay, now I see
I do not agree, but now I get it.
