Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Who should bat 5th for the Red Sox in '09?

We're mowing these down. The lineup so far:

1. Ellsbury
2. Pedroia
3. Ortiz
4. Youkilis

Woo. I like what I'm seeing already. And the poll is attached.

Jason Bay

Because it would make it a LH-RH-LH match up with Ortiz-Bay-Drew

#34: You'll be missed!

I vote Drew because then it would be

1. LHP
2. RHP
3. LHP
4. RHP
5. LHP

I voted Drew for the same reason.

Those P's should be H's

While your LH/RH argument makes sense, it just means that Lowell and Bay will be back to back right after that. If you’re 2-7 hitters include Pedroia, Youk, Papi, Bay, Drew, and Lowell, you have to put two RHHs next to eachother somewhere, which isn’t the end of the world.

I voted Bay

because in no way should someone that hits 30 HR 3 out of the past 4 years and has a career OBP of .375 hit in the 6 spot.

Completely Agree

Bay needs to be in with the Power/RBI hitters
What idiot voted for Jed, I mean he’s good, but not 20+HR good.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

Does anybody else get the funny feeling. . . .

That the result of the nine polls will basically be to reproduce our lineup from just before Lowell went down with his injury?

Drew should lead-off

I’m betting that when the time comes, Corpse will win the poll against the Intern to bat 8th because he’s TRUE CAPTAIN!

Uh oh. Steer clear of MGBB for awhile…

Why did Gran Torino have to suck?

It had everything. Everything is bad with the world.

I mean

It is a fun film to watch, and I’d even call it good. But it sucks because most ‘actors’ are really that, ‘actors’.
