I just heard a collective “I told you so…” from all the JD for lead-off advocates. Well played, sirs, well played…

Lowell got some fluid drained from his hip, pre-shot.
15 cm^3, if anyone knows whether that amount is concerning.

That sounds like a little...
But the knee isn’t really a place you want a ton of fluid, so yeah.

Oh, well, I store water bottles in my hip.

Not a lot of space for fluid in the hip, esp. with a messed up labrum, or so I thought.

I'm so glad interleague is over
I hate NL-style baseball.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
I'd like it more if we played it everyday.
The NL has the advantage of getting the DH, but they have to deal with a lack of talent, so it balances out…for now.

We'll get him out of there by the 4th.

Evening all
Animal Collective is actually from Baltimore. So is Beach House. Other than this, they suck and we should sweep these assholes.

I actually find the Orioles to be one of the least offensive teams in the league.
Generally speaking full of likable guys.

Yep.
Aside from the whole “OMG IT’S JESUS WEITERS!!!” thing.

Eh, they need their hope where they can get it.
I’m mostly annoyed by outside fans buying into it to the point where they whole-heartedly talk about “Future Hall-of-Famer Matt Weiters”
by Ben Buchanan on Jun 29, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions
I do like that team
But they just aren’t very good, they’re like a slightly better version of the Nats. We should have swept the Nats, and we damn should do that now.

Difference between comedy and tragedy
Tragedy: Sox batters in 1-pitch outs.
Comedy: Opposing batters in 1-pitch outs.
Romantic Comedy:
Fallon in stands.
Oh, wait, that’s not funny…
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
Comedy: Fallon gets smacked with pizza.
Tragedy: Last night’s LOLMets v. Yankees game. Rivera is the only one who should be happy with his performance in that game.
That was so weird to watch.
Esp. with the ESPN guys nearly jumping out of the booth to kill the Mets.

Which is part of the FAIL
The Yankees earned ONE run off of the LOLMets. The Mets gave them the other three. And the Yankees were facing what amounts to a AAA lineup, and Wang was NOT good.
Green was playing shallow LF against Jones
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Gets a lot of singles there, according to the hit chart on his MLB.com profile.

Going throuw their 1-2-3 hitters on 12 pitchs is always welcome!
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
26 and 30 years old.
17 homers between them after the 2 jacks. Neither with an OPS in the 800’s.

So, basically, guys who get paid to play like beer league softbalol players.

Nice hitting by Kotsay and The Large Father
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Let's see if Ells can slump-bust his way to second base.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
Nope
Good contact though. Just right at a guy making a good play.
by Ben Buchanan on Jun 29, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions
Nice play by Wigginton
Expect Ells to be running here
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
He never does.
Fortunately he gets over it in time to have a clear head for game calling.

Thought those were pelicans for a second.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
It's disinfecting him from Heidi Watney's FAIL.
Or that’s what the Inside Track would have us believe.
Ells 7 back of Crawford, but he'd better pick up the pace unless he wants BJ to pass him.
Freakin’ Rays, with their 100 homers and steals.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
I'm much happier
With Rays fans talking about their awesome stats than their awesome W-L (which is not so bad, but still)…
Rock me, sexy Jesus...

They should be better.
Their pen is dragging them down.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
Yeah, I saw RJ blaming all the Rays fortunes in close games this season on 'luck'
That’s just plain stupid. That bullpen sucks balls, and winning close games ain’t just luck.

I don't ever check that site anymore.
Can’t participate anyway.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
Apparently they have the fourth-lowest ERA in MLB right now.
So it looks like it’s a split-personality bullpen: it’s either lights out or stinking up the joint. Kinda like last year, actually.
I know it's only the 2nd inning but...Shit...lots of missed opportunities
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
Going back off the radar for a few hours.
Night all – Go Sox!

Is it just me, or does the Orioles manager look an awful lot like Bill Shatner?

Ells is closing in on CC
Until we play TB again and CC steals 15 in a 3 game series.
DO NOT BRING JACK WILSON OR NICK JOHNSON TO BOSTON !!!
Yeah, that's the power of

New rule for Crawford
At the start of each series, a 10-lb. weight is attached to each of Crawford’s legs. For each stolen base in the course of a series, an additional 5-lb weight is added to each leg. During series against the Red Sox, those weights are doubled.
Have someone peg him in the hip?
Pay Joba off in beer.

Think we can get Miguel Cabrera for Julio Lugo, Chris Carter. Rocky Cherry, Charlie Zink, Javier Lopez, Kason Gabbard, Jeff Bailey, cash considerations and a PTBNL ?
DO NOT BRING JACK WILSON OR NICK JOHNSON TO BOSTON !!!
Damn it, I thought I was onto something good.

the PTBNL would have been Devern Hansack circa last game of 2006 where mother nature robbed him of a no-no.

Lester is a stud
Also, I do like very much some JD Drew, I think he’s a very underrated player by our fanbase.
"Hey we got a lot in common here... I'm gonna rape you"
Agree on both

Huh? game not over?
Or is gameday slow?
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
Nope. 1 out to go ...

My TV is broken
I saw Jason Bay make a good play…
"It's just a tiny little nick, but it hurts when I get champagne in there."
- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
Nice catch by Bay to end it
Congrats to Paps. He is now tied for the Sox’ all-time lead in saves
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
That was a save?
Two out, two men on, for one hitter? Or am I not picking up on the sarcasm?
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
Yes, it's a save.
If the pitcher is the last pitcher in the game for the winning team, and comes into the game with the tying run on base, at the plate, or on deck, it’s a save, regardless of how many outs are needed to close out the win.
Or he could pitch the last 3 innings of a game.
No matter what the score.
