MFY won again
so we definately need a W tonight (and Coco is injured, if asking the question wasn’t sarcasm). Also, they apparently found Bartolo the Michael Jackson fan.

If I am going to go down with my ship, I am going to go out fighting…. (ie I thought the Sox should had DFA him in June, proves that I was wrong) I am glad he is hitting a bit again.
He still need to hit about 20 more HR before he can repent for his mendoza line three month slump..
You can't demand that...
2 out of 3 should always be the goal. there are still many games ahead… the MFY can’t go 80-1 in the second half, even though it seems they are allergic to losing.
Yep. It’s a 4-game series.

As long as the pitching holds, the Sox will be fine
All this talk about needing a bat is silly. They are averaging 5.20 runs per game. That’s 3rd best in the AL. If Lowell is OK, they’ll be fine offensively. All teams—even the best offenses—struggle at times.
What the Sox need to improve on is their run-prevention. The team defense has been shoddy. Lowrie should help. If Lowell’s range at 3B improves when he returns, that’ll be a plus.

I’d like to see them get a catcher we can put behind the plate should we meet up with TB in the playoffs. Stopping the SB would be huge in that scenario.

The Redsox have defensive minded Catchers.
If it so concerns anyone, Mark Wagner could be rushed if the Sox felt the need was that great.

Then we are in trouble. Maddon knows Tek can’t throw out shit behind the plate, they are the worst match up for us.
MODERATOR
So are they
Their rotation is pretty thin after Shields and Garza. They also are in a 6-game hole right now. They have a lot of ground to make up to get into the post-season.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
by Drugs Delaney on Jul 9, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions
But the way we play VS them, they could easily make up significant ground. The Sox have let the Rays stay in it, we should have swept some series and really burried them. I think Price is going to re-bound he has struggled with control early in games. The TB bullpen is suspect though.
MODERATOR
Only 8 games left v. TB
10 v. the MFY.
The Rays and MFY play 10 more times.

More likely
They want to rest Kotsay who is a little banged up, and Bailey is on the DL. With Youk playing 3B right now, the Sox are a little thin at the corner IF positions.

Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!
I have an even more off topic response. Holliday vs. Halladay- you have met your match… Nicklas Backstrom the forward scored a goal against Niklas Backstrom the goalie (Sameish Name Guy) It was regular season, but they both should have been All-Stars.
ZING! ZANG! ZUNG!
It always seems to come up for some reason
I should balance it out with some football and basketball

The D-Backs’ outfielder is 0 for 14 with 3 walks career against the Padres’ pitcher, IIRC (I looked it up on Baseball-Reference a couple of weeks ago)

If he is, then he can’t be on the All-Sameish-Name Team, which is basically just a list I made of members of the sports world (and a few other celebrities) who have the same name. Fathers and sons don’t count.

Of middle school?
They do GPA in middle school now?
OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.
I was in a special math program in middle school that met once a week
Skipped Pre-Algebra, Took Alg 1 and half of Geo in 6th, finished Geo and Alg 2 in 7th, and took Matrices, Statistics, and discrete math (essencially a bonus course) in 8th. I get good grades as long as I don’t get overwhelmed and have a complete breakdown like in some of this previous year. (But I got straight A’s in math and passed 8th grade, so I’m going to put the bad times behind me and be my best in high school)
ZING! ZANG! ZUNG!
Truly Amazing....I knew a girl like you...
She went off to a special school just for math. Don’t waste your knowledge. You have a brighter future than I could have imagined when I was your age.

Meh
I wouldn’t go to a special school. But the cool part about a weekly math class outside of the regular school day is that what would be your math class becomes free period, which we otherwise didn’t have at my school.
ZING! ZANG! ZUNG!
Yeah
but there are negatives… and I always seem to wind up stressed because I procrastinate.

Yep, I'm starting to get really bad at procrastinating.

It defined us until 2004
In 1988 (maybe 1989) I was in Baltimore in the Old Memorial Stadium – the game went at least 14 innings against the Royals – maybe more there were only a few hundred of us left in the stadium and Buckner came in to pinch hit – I booed him so loud and called him a bum continually yelling remember 1b base you bum…on and on I went he looked right at me in shock – my wife told me to stop – I couldn’t – not my proudest moment but it defined us. He was actually a very vry good ballplayer and if Stanley had not thrown the wild pitch before the infamous play….
