I thought he was going to make the play
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

I thought he had it!
Don said “Can’t make the catch this time!” and I was getting ready for him to have to backpedal.

Cool Standings agrees with you slightly.
They have TB as slight favorites over NYY to make the playoffs.
They annoy me more than the MFY
For all the talk around MFY fans and Sox fans, the Rays fans are likely the most obnoxious.

Hill was paying 0 attention to him, he had a big league, and he’s throwing that giant, sweeping curveball about 50% of the time.

perspective..
our hometown broadcasters are saying the ump didn’t give it to him…he took it. Apparently a batter can just tell the ump he got hit, and the ump believes him…
mind you...
our guys can be pretty “homer” sometimes…. and nothing says Baltimore sports like indignation at the officiating
No argument
The umpiring this year has been pretty poor all around.

The triple? Good luck.
That’s usually where the cycle founders, right?
Unlike Pedroia’s near-cycle where he could have taken the single but stretched it into a double instead.
Indeed.
Which is why I hate it when MLB.com puts up a headline “____ NEEDS A TRIPLE FOR THE CYCLE LETS ALL WATCH HIS ABs!”

Although I love when a batter misses it by a single.

“I think something like Buccholz, Reddick, Pimentel, and Hagadone might get the Padres thinking.”
About Adrian Gonzalez. Of course, this will never happen, and it’s not even a rumor. But with Kelly coming along, I think I would do that trade.
"Hey we got a lot in common here... I'm gonna rape you"
Hell yeah.
I still think Buch’s going to be a relative bust – #3 starter at best.

Yeah, I think Buch still has the potential to be a top of rotation starter
But with Kelly posting great numbers as a pitcher, and with Lester, Beckett, Bowden already on the system, we could trade Buch. I would never do for less than Gonzalez, but that dude is a stud.

Masterson forgot about the concept of pitching after 30 pitches, it seems.
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
True enough.
I hope, in general, that they start following MGBB’s suggestion. Can’t think of him as having a starter-like stamina now.

I do think it was good to test his limits with the kind of lead we did have.
Just not quite as long as it was tested.

I especially liked his pitch count when I got home.
52 over 4 innings?

A-Rod's seeing K-Hud?
Makes sense. They’re both overrated drama-type she-males who produce nothing but shit for the exorbitant amount of money they make. The difference is that Kate Hudson could hit more than .187 in the playoffs.

A-Rod is the biggest drama queen in all of professional sports.
And considering that includes Brett Favre and Kobe Bryant, that says something.
Kobe = Drama queen? KG's the one who screamed cliches.
Also, Paps wants this title.

The Sox have not been doing well with rain delay games this year.

Great managers
don’t blow 10-1 leads. This is on you, Tito-retardo.
Sorry, but that is the silliest post ever!
Every relief pitcher but RamRam and Bard, who weren’t in the game, wet the bed. How is that Tito’s fault? He wasn’t going to bring Smoltz back out after an hour-plus rain delay.
You can praise the bullpen constantly and then rip the manager when those same pitchers can’t hold a 9-run lead for 5 innings. If it’s Francona’s fault last night, then you have to praise him for every time a Sox player plays well.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
