PrintBoston Red Sox at New York Yankees, Aug 9, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
It's do or die time.
I have a good feeling about tonight, though. I've been wearing my No. 7 Trot Nixon shirt all day and I think it's going to work. If the spirit of Trot can't do it, what can?
The Sox look to score a run tonight -- they haven't done that in awhile. Jon Lester will be on the hill to face the Yanks' Andy Pettitte.

I hit 4 HRs in a row
… on Wii sports. If the Sox get SO again tonight I’m sending Theo my resume.
Let’s go Lester! Inspire those bats!

Let’s hope Tito put some fire under their asses and we score some runs tonight. I’d be happy with at least 6. Maybe a Lester no-hittter tonight? ish optimistic

I don’t care as long as we light up Pettite.

Since the ASB opposing batters have a .585 OPS against him.
Supposedly he was really calm during the team meeting today...

I'm actually a LOT more interested in why there's a discrepency between the Fed's list and the MLBPA's list.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Umm... huh?
It’s supposed to be the list that was produced by combining the test sample label numbers with a separate list that matched names to the numbers.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
yeah, i think you're right, but
not all 104 names are tests. and some players were tested more than once to get a conclusive result.
Not saying I don't believe you.
Just not sure what that means at the moment.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Can you post the link again?

that your grandma’s doing okay?
Fear the Rebel Polar Bears (trust me, this sig makes sense)
Yep. :)
In a rehab center now. Her hand was all swollen today though, because they wrapped her upper arm weirdly. Compression glove should help with it though.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
yeah that is what the MLBPA rep said
something like , the MLB list was seized in connection with an ongoing fed govt investigation but if people are being painted with the same brush, then there needs to be one list or clarification of other existing lists
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Hmm.
I need to watch the entire press conference, I only got to see the first part before I had to leave for the hospital… Anyone got a link?
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Somebody leaking false names?
Trying to get attention maybe? Until the list actually comes out, I don’t believe any of it. Not even A-Rod, although he admitted it. I just doubt he is ACTUALLY on said list.
There are two theories on hitting the Knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them work. ~Charlie Lau
It won't get released.
MLBPA’s got way too many lawyers.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Another thing I want to see in that case:
The reporters who are “asking” the unnamed lawyers for names, “asked” for names of the lawyers.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
reporters don't have to tell, their sources, right?
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

Summer homework.
I got 2 weeks left – procrastination sucks. Should be fine though – got all me notes for the essay I have to write, and none of the three books I have to read for an AP English class are really big.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Ah, summer stuff.
None of that in college unless you want it.
Hell, I rarely had any in high school. I think reading Old Man and the Sea (UGH) was about it.
Actually, I have three awesome books, from the summaries I've seen.
Anthem, The Crucible, and Mice and Men.
I’ve just been reading baseball stuff all summer instead…

He'll settle in.

He can trow a lot though
he usually throws alot of pitches
Kruk said we would score 3 in the 3rd.
I don’t know that I buy that. We might salvage a run in this inning.
Time for Bay to re-enact Manny's KRod walkoff.

Fenway is the KEY
last time they had a slump like that, they went home and played like a different team… then again, they were playing the O’s
How can you tolerate it?
Unless it’s gotten a LOT better, it’s far behind ESPN’s Gamecast, which is lightyears behind Gameday.

He’s been on for all of 1 minute.

Oh, I was actually asking if he's been annoying.
Not really listening.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
He isn't so annoy, as much of the fact that they arn't showing the game, they are showing them talking in the booth.
I tuned in for a ballgame not a talk show.
Yeah, that's all I seem to be able to catch when glancing up.
I swear, I would PAY for a feed that just showed the DAMN game.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
Call me crazy but I would have bunted with ells
Let the MVP drive him in.
Because Tito will never bunt again for some damn reason.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I honestly wouldn't mind Tito taking a week or two off...
And the interim guy being a small ball believer of some sort.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I'm of the opinion
That Tito needs to have an earpiece telling him what to do strategy-wise at all times.
Keep him on as the beloved nice guy for the players, but by GOD don’t let him make decisions.
Or get him an iPhone with OTM as the homepage.
How fast would he get banned? :)
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I disagree there.
but with a runner on and no outs, and a quick guy at the plate, and the reigning MVP on deck, a bunt here or there wouldn’t hurt. Especially because Ells could have beat it out.
when your slumping
small ball and fundamentals are key
Yep.
Or team meetings, which apparently were mentioned in an earlier chapter of Baseball Coaching for Dumbies.

Did someone checked Kalish line tonight?
For those who didn’t: 4-4, BB, HR!

Yup. One of, like, 2 or 3 bright spots in the minors today.
Everything else kinda sucked. Fuentes was good. A couple guys in Greenville were OK. And then there’s Kalish.
He made Baseball America's Hot Prospect sheet.

Anybody know whose starting after Penny
Tazawa? Bowden? Byrd?
Tazawa
"Swing and a ground ball, stabbed by Foulke. He has it. He underhands to first. And the Boston Red Sox are the World Champions! For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball's World Championship!"
Tell that to Tito.
Because it’s already been reported.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I think both him and Bowden
would do well. Even though Tazawa lost in his debut, I really like his stuff. And Bowden looked good in his appearances
Tazawa seems a bit too comfortable throwing in places he shouldn't.
Needs to get that worked out of him by better hitters. Then he’ll be fine.
The good thing about Tazawa
is he goes right after hitters. He’s not the second coming of DiceK
Thankfully that's becoming the trend in Japan now.
Dice-K’s become the poster child for how NOT to make the jump, it would seem.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
There's that.
Which is why I think Tazawa will ultimately be the more effective of the two in the MLB unless Daisuke dramatically changes his approach to baseball in general.
Lots of fun this weekend explaining to extended family what's going on with Dice-K.
That, and explaining that, no, I did not have inside access to what Papi was going to say in the press conference.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
It's official

"Swing and a ground ball, stabbed by Foulke. He has it. He underhands to first. And the Boston Red Sox are the World Champions! For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball's World Championship!"
Most likely Bowden. His rotation spot in AAA falls on that day.

When the other team has their 2-3-4-5 hitters up, why not use your best pitcher then?
Then let Bard/Oki take care of 6-7-8-9.
That's why I hate the save
Isn’t Papelbon much more valuable getting out their best hitters regardless of whether it’s the 8th or the 9th?

Except it goes against the “book” and no manager will have balls to defy it. It’s stupid.
Lou Pinella could be considered doing this
His closer is Kevin Gregg yet you could make the argument that Marmol is their best reliever.
