PrintCleveland Indians at Boston Red Sox, Sep 22, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
V.
Amidst a busy schedule of stealing quite generic nicknames, the Sox take on the Clevelands tonight at Fenway Park with a chance to seal up a spot in the 2008 postseason. There's only one October, just like last year.
You can have your Hanley Ramirez, Freddy Sanchez, Carlos Pena, Brandon Moss, David Murphy -regrets. The Clevelands have a catcher whose hitting line in 107 games this season is .268/.346/.534, and it ain't Victor Martinez.
Despite a recent hot streak, still not loving Ells in the leadoff spot. The rest of the lineup, however, is just about exactly as it should look given the individuals playing tonight. Jason Bay returns from maternity leave. I might've given Bailey a shot a little higher in the order, but then he might've just reached base and not been knocked in by Kotsay or 'Tek, so maybe it all works out. Zach Jackson is LH, which is good news for 'Tek, as he can hit from the side of the plate that he can still hit from (.875 OPS v. LHPs this season from the right side). Go Sox. Clinch. Down with the Rays. All that good stuff.

Pre-gaming it.
Saw a suggestion on MLBTR of a Lugo for Dontrelle trade just about straight-up with the Tigers. Any thoughts?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
No thanks.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Agreed

A bit like trading a Moped for an early '90s Camry in my eyes.
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Agreed with both of you guys.
I think Dontrelle is done. Didn’t know if anyone would come up with an argument for taking him on.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
The reclamation project was a interesting take.
Hmmm…. The last one is sitting in Latin America. Still no thanks.

If you knew in 1985 or early 1986 that,
Bill Buckner would have made that 1986 World Series Game 6 error, and he (Buchner) was showing as many signs of failure as Lugo, would you have taken action then to get rid of the guy??
by NG on Sep 22, 2008 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd trust that Lugo isn't going to be in any important games late when
the game is tied or there is a small lead and a need for steady defense.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
I don't think Tito
Has shown any tendency towards the idea that he’ll just bench Lowrie when/if Lugo comes back (which probably won’t be until 2009 Spring Training anywya).
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
And the only way the Sox NEED to dump Lugo
Is if he shows a clear unwillingness to try a super-utility and PR role next season. If that’s the case, then yes, we’ll have to dump him and either eat some cash or take back a bad contract (Dontrelle Willis is a decent example) ourselves.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Buckner was tempting fate

True. But he's a decent lefty pitcher.
In Fenway, that equals runs.

Next topic.
Anyone think the Clevelands would, under any circumstances, listen to offers on Shoppach?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
What are you offering?
And, more importantly, what do think the Sox’ FO thinks Shoppach’s value is?
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Sep 22, 2008 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, I mean.
He’s a 28 year old catcher who has proven (more so than any other trade candidates talked about to take over for ‘Tek) that he can hit big-league pitching, knows the Sox’s system and may still have familiarity with some of our pitchers.
And then we’ve gotta think about what Cleveland might be convinced to want more than said 28 year old good-hitting catcher. High-ceiling OF? SP? And then we can’t even be sure Shoppach would really be worth one of those things.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
They'd probably want Bowden and another good prospect/player

by Drugs Delaney on Sep 22, 2008 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Enh.
Tough, though that’s the kind of price we’ve been talking about with Teagarden and co. Shoppach is older, but is less of a performance risk?
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor?"
Teagarden probably has a higher ceiling
But Shoppach can be an everyday catcher now. Any catcher will cost the Sox a lot.

by Drugs Delaney on Sep 22, 2008 7:16 PM EDT up reply actions
Wonder if the Sox would prefer the lower-risk.
If the Clevelands would part with Shoppach, then we could still trade him in a couple years IF Exposito moves quickly or the offense is good enough to carry what will seemingly be the mediocre bat (but quite potent glove) of Mark Wagner.

Dent's in the wall?
Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.
Most humble greetings, Gal of Mass.

disturbing pic
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Here's to Tek:
Best memory of Yankee Stadium, in my mind (other than G7, 2004 ALCS)

Bailey fails...

No ... Bailey got a hit
Bay and Tek blundered on the basepaths after the ball kicked off the ump instead of going into the LF corner.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

I was saying he should have aimed at the ump's chest...

Aww... Damn...
I’m leaving. We’ll see if it works again.

Intentional walk for Bay
Loaded for Lowrie …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Step out again, please
:-)

I did step out
Came back and Lowrie was still sucking.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

I thought that pitch was too close to take ( Lowrie)
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Agreed

Is Coco hurt or shit?

I haven’t heard anything to suggest Coco is hurt.

That was pretty dumb
Big ‘fuck you’ to both Lowrie and Kotsay on this inning.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Not much fire-power after Bay
in this version of the line-up! That could pose quite a problem come playoff time I would think!
A loy of teams lack power at the bottom of the order

There are a lot of bad teams too
The Sox line-up today is not that good. I really hope we can get Drew and Mikey back in time.

True and true
However, aside from Hisnke, Tampa has no power at the bottom of their order. The Angels don’t have a ton of pop at the bottom of their order either.

Yeah, I agree
But I don’t think the issue here is the lack of homers by the bottom of the order of the Sox. Behind Bay, there’s no one who gets on base well enough. I mean, on today’s line-up.

as "bob is my witless* I was summoning NG
- long story short – rugrats cartoon in which the kids heard as bob is my witless instead of as g/God is my witness
anyway I knew NG would come
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Now it's Bay
A homer here would win it…

Now it's up to Lowrie
Yet again…

guess I gotta set DVR for the play-off clincher
unless….
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Second and third ...
Redemption time for Lowrie? I’d walk him and pitch to Kotsay …
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
If they did
Would you PH Carter? Kotsay has been ABYSMAL lately.

Yes
Tito wouldn’t, though.

And a bad break on the ball Bailey hit.

Wow
OK… good night all- tomorrow is another day or something

FUCK... YOU... JED...
STOP STRIKING OUT ON 3 PITCHES ON KEY SITUATIONS, MAN…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
at least he swung this time
no biggie; Sox will get them tomorrow
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
1 win by the Sox, or 1 loss by the MFY
It’s all we need, actually. After last night, the division is really not going to happen. 3,5 games back now.
I’m not sure about getting them tomorrow. It’s Lee.
