GameThread: Red Sox @ Phillies, Friday 6/12
Boston Red Sox at Philadelphia Phillies, Jun 12, 2009 7:05 PM EDT

Mikey Lowell has the evening off to contemplate the meaning of life, and a surging BIG PAPI oils up his fielding mitt to man 1B for the Olde Towne Team. Yooouk is sliding over to 3B for the first game in the series.

OK, so Randy is still way better at posting game threads, but this isn’t too bad.

I don't think the appearance of game threads matters.
It’s like judging a book by its cover – no guarantee that it’s worthwhile.

Don't worry, we'll fill this thread with PB jokes just like we filled the previous two.
We’re equal opportunity jokesters.

I'm not. Phillies are a big deal
Btw, I’m writing a postgame for this, so you don’t have to.

That should account for most of the activity.

Ortiz
Sort of a surprise I guess, he has been picking up steam recently, don’t want to put a hole in his forward progress.

Didn't
Lowell look Lugo-like in the field yesterday? Here is the question-which is better for your defense: Youk(3b)/Papi(1b) or Lowell(3b)/Youk(1b) factoring in defensive position importance…ok, it is sort of a joke, but not completely.
by Buzzy on Jun 12, 2009 5:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Give Lowell some rest before we start ordering him a walker.
And who knows, maybe Papi will be better as a defender tonight with his magic eyedrops. :)

Trying to keep Papi hot, improving defense at the hot corner...
Not bad. Ortiz isn’t gonna make any plays, but Lowell wasn’t exactly flashing the leather either.

Hey, Papi saved ARoid's @$$ in the ASG a few years ago.
Great pick move.

I like Ortiz at 1b
Having Ortiz at 1b tonight makes sense to me. We maybe losing a defensive edge, but we need to keep Ortiz on the right track, coming out of his slump.
Philly has a HR friendly park, another long ball by Ortiz will help build his confidence.With this being an interleague game, even if we lose due to poor defense (on Ortiz’s part), it (imo) will be worth it if he has a hot night with the bat. One lose is a small price to trade for the number of wins a health confident Ortiz will help generate.

Same, I stopped playing about 1.5-ish years ago.
However, maybe a week ago I started messing around on a purely pvp, private server.
Basically it’s just one huge AV, you log in and you log into AV. So it’s about 200 people AV (or doing arena/bgs.)
Your instantly 80 on all the characters you make, and get gear by killing people.
One kill = One gold, and they have vendors that sell every item in the game for like 20 – 100 gold.
It’s a lot of fun for a free game to screw around on.

(To your post below, ya when I use to play the real WoW, I got them to 70. Quit way before the 2nd expansion came out so no 80s)

He did pretty well in the NPB.
His stats in NPB were 34-32 with 41 saves, a 3.36 ERA, 681 strikeouts, 295 walks and 549 hits allowed in 642 innings pitched. Made three all star teams.
The year before he went to the Red Soxs he came off a season with a 2.14 ERA, a 2-2 record, 4 saves and 63 K in 54 2/3 IP while walking 14 in 55 games. Pitched in the Japan Series(the NPB version of the world series), he allowed no hits or runs in 3 2/3 IP.
