Interesting matchup

These guys were both options for the Sox back in 2005: Burnett a FA, Beckett a trade target. Henry thought that Burnett would be a better choice just because he’d only cost money. But the temporary GM team (that had replaced Epstein) went with the blockbuster for Beckett and Lowell.

In the time it takes Lowell to run to second, I’m pretty sure the catcher doesn’t even have to throw him out…..he could run the ball the second and tag him out himself.

They could, in theory...

You’d be swinging the bat faster, giving you less time to adjust to the break. Then again, since a curveball is mostly illusion, it could cut down on perceived break, and allow for better contact.

5 straight Ks for Beckett

I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

Beckett sucks.

Way to get a groundout loser. Can’t even K Gardner.

Okay, can someone come up with a rational argument against the movie "Fever Pitch"?

B/c my sister just popped it in the DVD (IDK why I have this movie) and is forcing me to watch it. And no, I’m not trying to steal the remote back.

That Jimmy Fallon is an awkward man child who’s sole purpose in life is to laugh through classic SNL skits and make unfunny Twitter jokes on his undeserved late night talk show.

Because if you have seen one romantic comedy you have seen them all.

Quirky boy meets quirky girl, they date, show montage of them having fun together to some upbeat song, boy wrongs girl (or vis versa), they break up, life is bad, big romantic gesture, back together, kiss, roll credits.

He'll be better as a utility man once Lowrie's back

He can play some second and third, and has played some outfield.

by BigRedDog42 on Jun 9, 2009 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not 3B.

He’s horrible there.

by bs.uf15bosox9bears23 on Jun 9, 2009 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yea, I'd prefer Lowrie shift over

But he’s got a decent arm and has played there before.

Judging by his at-bats

Lugo’s biggest skill would be handling the cups

Wouldn't they seem a bit strange to him?

I mean, it’s not like he needs to wear one.

Naw, Nats have Strasburg now.

They’re gonna win like 100 straight games.

Randy Johnson's first year in Arizona...

…he threw over 270 innings, 12 complete games, had an ERA of 2.40-something, struck out 364 batters, and only won 17 games because he got no run support. He had 11 outings that year in which he went at least 7 innings and gave up two or fewer earned runs but either lost or took a no-decision.

If Strasburg is as good as they say he’s going to be, that’s his future unless he can escape that Gnats.

I doubt it

Theo isn’t going to pay $1 billion a year, but Boras will try to use the threat that they will to get the MFY to offer such a contract on the day the Sox win the World Series.

by RSNexile on Jun 10, 2009 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Absolutely

My point is that that’s all he’s supposed to be. He’s a utility player who’s been forced into an everyday role by Lowrie’s injury and Lugo’s ineptitude.

1-0 Pens!!!

After they almost let the Wings score with 2 more men around the goal – quite the turnaround.

Im in.

Was watching Terminator Salvation. But it seems the Sox got off a good start without me.

Oh, yeah – E.Coli, sorry I missed the Rays-MFY thread. Maybe you wouldn’t have been the target of the MFY hate.

He's described as being an "instant triples" guy.

Hope that power fills out some. He’s just 18 years, 4 months old, so he’s got plenty of time.
