No, no... Wait...

It’s worse

Mo Vaughn Big Papi has scratched for the night.

Now F’Lugo is at DH. I would be more prosaic about it, but really, what could I say…

Bay at three, followed by Lowell, Porcelain, Drew, Suck, Green at SS, and Not-Jason-Varitek.

I’m off to find a handle of vodka and a bottle of sleeping pills…

Rock me, sexy Jesus...

I'll take that as Lugo is playing.

(sigh) Fuck my Life. If the Sox lose tonight, It’ll make my day completely terrible. I don’t know if I even want to watch. Maybe I’ll just bask in my anger and self-pity

What's up fellas?

Just got in from the bar (3:30am here).

WTF happened in the bottom of the 6th? Need to be filled in here.

And please tell me that Wake is on hook for the win…He’s on fire this year.

by Brad West on May 7, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions  

12 runs came across

Wake is on the hook for the win. Basically everyone was hitting singles and working walks and such and the bases were just loaded for about 9-10 straight batters. Then Bay came up and slammed a 3 run shot and the rally was silenced.

You want to put Lowell out there and move Youk to 3B?

Lars is coming up soon, and he’s either the DH for Papi or playing 1B while another bat is in DH.

Well lets see

You have a gold glover at 1st already. and a young 1st basemen. Youk has 3-4 years left on his contract. Wait till its up to let him be your everyday 1b. Right now, if Papi still sucks, decline his option next year and let Lars be the DH

Smoltz and Penny don’t have one (I don’t believe). And Baldelli has one I think.
