Note the absence of Youk (back issues), and Kotsay’s presence at 1st. At least Bay’s in the lineup.
And Cormier pitches a clean inning.
Figures. We’ve had a tough time putting away teams, winning the third game of a series. I hope that’s not the case this afternoon.
Cormier looks very much like a friend of mine
It’s sort of creepy. Let’s hope the Sox will get to him, however…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Man
The Sox really have a hard time finishing a sweep…

The breeze is blowing in.
Bay hits one very hard, but it’s caught by Payton feet away from the wall.
Not sure about the call there
2 of the balls looked very much like strikes, but whatever…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
He missed the ball
It hit the top of his glove, and then the wall.

Coco tracked a ball to the warning track
off Markakis. He had his glove up, and the ball hit his glove and popped out (he probably didn’t squeeze hard enough), allowing Roberts to score. He was charged with an error.
On the bright side
I’m listenning Lionel motherfucking Richie here. :)
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
More like three letters.
“This episode of Red Sox Street is brought to you by the number 0, by the sound of screaming, and by the letters W, T, and F.”
Yeah, and
At least Dice-K went 7 innings… This is all on the bats.

Pedroia goes deep.
has 17 HRs. If he hits 20 this season, steals 20 bases, and hits 50 doubles, he’ll be the first second baseman named Dustin Pedroia to do that in MLB history. I think that’s good for a pat on the back and a free pizza at Chuck E Cheeses.
Lol
That pretty much save my day thus far, thank you very much.

Heidi who?

Doesn't look like it.
Can’t find any confirmation of that. She’s only 27, and might not be interested in get hitched.
Bear in mind (she’s bare in mine), she hangs around men in their athletic prime making millions of dollars.
Hello people!!!

I don't think the moderators are that strict.

Don’t post movie posters of bad movies involving little people, though. That will get removed. : )
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
I know I said I'd never doubt Tito again
But when Drew is back, I fully expect Ells to be hitting far lower in the order.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Don't you feel all tingly inside?
It happened to me too…
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.

Or maybe hit a bird flying left to right?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
And too good at getting out of late innings without allowing runs.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
In play, out(s) OR In play, run(s)
Which is worse? For those of us not lucky enough to have NESN…

Silly, the LAAAAAAAAAAA don't play till 7:05 ET
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
We're losing a game to a bunch of bad reliever with ERA over 4.50
Think about that…

The O’s could not care less about this game…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.

I DONT CARE… GOOD KOTSAY
Masterson will get the win if Bay drives Kotsay home
Yay, I love when rookies get wins. :)
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
Clay is no rookie right?
If only that could make us a happier…
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Clay is a rookie indeed
And, yeah, seeing him pitch well would make me very happy.

IF just became If he had...
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
now they change
should be possible to do it before with a 40 ma roster
Tek?
Why not Bay not putting the ball in play when he was supposed to?
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
by MerryGoByeBye on Sep 3, 2008 4:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Because he consistgently sucks at bat in the clutch
He is the weakest offensive link on the team by far as long as Lugo stays away. H really does need to retire as the best alternative for him now, IMO
by NG on Sep 3, 2008 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions
meant Bay
would be nice to have Tek as backup for another year but do not think he would like it too much
Agreed
I’d like Tek back as well, but not for 4 years or so.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Why are you always so anti-Tek?
One weak link in a rotation full of All-Star or future All-Star talent ain’t bad. And he contributes a ton with the intangibles.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
anti-tek? me?
he is a hero…but he wont live forever and he played a lot of games…
Not you, the guy below you.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Prove it?
These intangibles I always hear about? I say they are no different for him from any other catcher, but what we can measure, his offense, is awful, just awful!

Calling four no-hitters, two in the past 365 days.
Nuff’said.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
That's like blaming the deli number dispenser
at the market for whether the food is any good. You cannot give too much credit to the catcher for a no-hitter, and anyway, you can never prove a thing by this!
Hey look, I am not against Varitek for an reason other than he is now too old to do the job as well as it needs to be. This is the top level league (and potentially team), and only the top performers should be there and getting this kind of money. The Sox need to gently or otherwise get Varitek to step down, and either way,God forbid, not pay him a huge salary from now on!

You do realize that the catcher has a bigger say in what pitchs are thrown and where they are thrown to than the pitcher, right?
The only thing the pitcher can do is shake off the catcher, but he can only do that once or twice before the catcher gets mad and will come out to the mound.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Agree to disagree
Like I said, you just cannot prove this to me. The pitcher actually makes the pitch, and during a no-hitter that’s what must be supurb for 9 innings!
by NG on Sep 4, 2008 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Easy to prove. Buch's no hitter last year was basically the same stuff he has been throwing this year.
The catcher can make a difference, and Tek has. This year, he has had to deal with more rookie pitchers, the media and fans on his back the entire year about his average, and the effects of getting old. I would sign him to a one year deal with a perpetual option like Wake’s contract. I don’t know if this is allowed, but they could also possibly work in a deal that he would become the catching coach at the end of his playing contract.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
You know what
I sort of agree with you, people overrate the ‘game calling’ stuff on a catcher. But while Tek makes some mistakes in the game calling sometimes (too many FBs, every 0-2 count is high and away in some games), 4 no-hitters speak really loud.
Mother---- him and John Wayne!

Answer--YES
He looks terible and needs to retire! Just awul

Why is Gameday refusing to show pitch stats now?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Read my story on the main board.
As I said here, Varitek has batted .272 / .372 / .457 with 4 HR over the last 29 games, which is kinda awesome for him. He’s been significantly better, and doesn’t deserve to be crucified.
I posted something about his average in the past coupla days/weeks last night.
It doesn’t seem to help…
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
His hits are NOT in the clutch when really needed.
He consistently does NOt deliver in the clutch, which will come back to hurt this team. Varitek, Lugo and then Crisp (in that order) are similar in this respect, IMO
by NG on Sep 3, 2008 4:31 PM EDT up reply actions
He has a lot of important RBI's this year, from what I can remember.
Wouldn’t know how to track what inning he gets RBIs in, or if they are in the lead or coming from behind.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Men on, 2 outs .179
Man on 3rd, < 2 outs .250
ScPos/2 Out .149
Scoring Posn .176
still would let him play…just a bit less
RBIs?
i would look for them myself, but I’m doing French homework now.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
the problem is not the catcher in that line up
it is SS, CF, 1B with so many out
Cora, Crisp and Ells
I don’t think so…
Mother---- him and John Wayne!
by MerryGoByeBye on Sep 3, 2008 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions
My thoughts exactly.
Lowrie, Ortiz, or DP should have at least one on base.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Umm... why did the O's batting coach get ejected?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Gameday says batting coach...
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
hm
do u liked the bunt?
he said he worked on that… i am not to sure…
ANYWAY WIN : )
In the annals of Red Sox lore
this game is the “TWO DAYS AFTER LABOR DAY Miracle.” It’s a miracle, because we came back with 4+ runs against Baltimore.
WOW
Always nice to wake up see a w on the board, especially one like this. Dusty really wants that MVP. Right now I’d say Sizemore is the favourite, but you know with Cleveland sucking and all, that makes a big difference to voters. He needs to win the batting title I reckon and if we take over the Rays and he’s the key, then its his.
Thoughts?
Two words
Carlos Quentin.

And the guy who was turning Yankee Stadium into a comedy club during the HRD...
He seriously should’ve bunted in the second round.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Perhaps..
Those 100+ rbi’s will close to 40 hrs will help him. His team still needs to make the playoffs and that sub .300 average will hurt. Hey, I’m not saying he ain’t good, but that’s how the MVP voters will see it.
But a scrappy 5 foot 9, second baseman with a gaudy .330 average, .500 slg with 20 homers on a nationally recogized team sells a much better story. And the 95% success rate on stolen bases also plays real well. And the hitting 4th thing is getting heaps of airplay, plus the fact he’s just killed it in the 4th spot will help. I reckon unless the pale hose make the playoffs, Quentin won’t win it.
Seriously, how did Hamilton fall out of this race?
AARP-rod won on the same style Rangers team: not a winning team, but lots of offense.

Here ya go:
It was easier to root for them last night than it was the night before. Maybe it was because the Sox had already won… Or maybe I’m going over to the DARK SIDE!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
[runs to local church, receives exorcism, suddenly rooting against the Yankees again, realizes that he is effectively rooting for the Rays, connects exorcism with the Devil Rays, runs to local bar, chugs a Sam Adams (/sarcasm), starts yelling at everybody in the bar wearing Rays/Yankees gear that their teams suck, runs out into street screaming “GO RED SOX!!!”

Great, a fan at Tropicana Field wearing a Yankees jersey was just clapping on a ground-rule double by Navarro.
At least some of them are wearing paperbags over their heads.
