HAHAHAHA... unrelated, but still sophomorically funny:

I’m watching the Armwood@Plant game on ESPNU and they mentioned Armwood’s coach’s name: Weiner.
I had forgotten he had a funny name, too busy focusing on schoolwork recently. Hopefully my school’s team can beat Tampa Bay Tech tonight. Go Bloomingdale!!!!

Beckett is throwing outside a lot tonight.

Is it possible that the nerve issue is affecting his pitch placement? Or is he just trying to ease back in?

Jays win. I’ve got nothing against the Rays, but I really enjoy the win here because of 2 things: We could get a game closer, and the MFY could get another game closer to finishing 4th. :)

Well, at least my baseball teams for tonight are doing good.

My high school is losing 54-0. And the coach said at the pep rally that he couldn’t see last years 54-7 game happening again. I guess he was kinda right…
Anyways, we’re up 7-0, and the Rats have already lost. Hurrah…

this sounds really silly...

The team that the Red Sox should worry about are the Blue Jays… They are acting like the Yankees. They are finally playing their potential from the beginning of the season. Also Halladay looks like a lock for the Cy Young, Cliff Lee and all. I realize the Jays have a huge uphill battle with 8 1/2 games behind the Sox, but if they are beating the Rays, the Yankees on the road and punishing the Sox, they can be trouble if the Sox falter..

I wish he could get his MOJO back like last year,

but alas, the hitters have figured him out for the most part. I am very uncomfortable when he is brought in now, and like Timlin unless it is in a Sox blowout situation, I think he is a playoff liability! What to do, what to do??

by NG on Sep 6, 2008 9:14 AM EDT up reply actions  

Oki isn't as good as last year, but he hasn't been that bad

Sure, last year he was very tough on hitters: .202 BAA. I wouldn’t say hitters have figured him out. He has a .230 BAA, third-best out of the pen behind Paps and MDC. Lefties are only hitting .194 against him. Perhaps Oki should be used in more match-up situations.

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