PrintBoston Red Sox at Kansas City Royals, Sep 21, 2009 8:10 PM EDT
Sox begin a crucial, critical series against the Kansas City Royals. That is, if they're shooting for the division. If they're shooting for the Wild Card, then this series almost doesn't matter. In any event, there should be a lot of shooting going on. Of fish. In a barrell. Go Sox.

What's the hold up?
It’s almost 7:30 and Gameday says we are still in lineups. Is this wrong?

Doubly late
Considering KC apparently looks like the MIssissippi today. Lets hope we can squeeze this one in, we don’t need a double header on top of the no off days.

Because she refused to watch the game at the bar I watched every game that postseason (we worked together, and I was watching it with co-workers…..she wanted to keep us a secret that early).

Fire the pitchers like Beckett, then
That feel more comfortable throwing to him. Don’t get me wrong, Tek sucks. But if Beckett and Matsuzaka are more comfortable with him behind the plate, he should catch them—and then be pinch-hit for after they’re out of the game.

I agree even though you were being sarcastic
If Beckett needs Tek, Beckett should go. Same for Dice-K
Putting a team on the field that is not the best during the playoffs is not acceptable.
VARITEK MUST GO
Tek is going to have to make an appearance or two during the post-season
VMart cannot catch every game—even with the off-days, that’s asking a lot.
That's just dumb
Beckett isn’t going anywhere. Tek either won’t be on the team or, if he is, he’ll be the back-up next year. He’ll have all spring to work with Beckett and Dice-K.
As for putting the best team on the field, pitching wins games. If Beckett and Dice are more comfortable with Tek, they’ll likely pitch better—thereby, making the Sox a better team in that game.

Look at it this way
The only team that can break the bank are the MFY. They want to pare payroll. They have $166 million on the books for next year. They might extend Damon at a pay cut for a year until Austin Jackson is ready.
If the MFY aren’t in on Holliday, the price for everyone goes down. But, even if they sign Holliday for $15-$20 million, the Sox don’t have to match that with Bay. Who else will pay even $12-$15 million in this economy?

He must be leading the league in baserunning gaffes
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

It's those freakin' 7% of body fat that he took off last season
they makin’ him think that he’s the 2nd comin’ of Ricky ! (sarcasm)

Does EQBRR factor in SB numbers?
‘Cause if so, I’d bet he’s the only guy with 17 SBs who’s nearly that low.

Evening All!
Go Sox!

It was Betancourt.
The ball could have flown over the scoreboard, and still managed to find it’s way into a glove.

Jesus, I thought the game was tied
Nice play by Bay
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
We need more runs
I have no faith in MDC.

If that's the case, they should have called this game off.
It got beyond ridiculous in the fourth inning.
It depends on the forecast
The Sox have no days off the rest of the year. I’d rather not see them play doubleheaders.

This late in the season they don't want to have doubles or make ups
especially considering there is no garuntee we wont get rained out again later in the week
These games matter, were in a division battle (knocks on wood)

If it's a blow out, they're more likely to call it

And a 4-pitch walk ...
Tying run at the plate.

this is ridiculous
I turn back from football to find this? MDC is a joke.

He's not supposed to be this bad though.
He’s got the stuff, he’s been decent for a while.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
He's not supposed to?
Meaning what? The guy is ridiculously inconsistent. Always has been, probably always will be.

MDC
You lost a spot in the playoffs roster!
"That was a lot of fun… You just keep pounding balls into the gap. The one thing you don’t want to do is hit a home run. That’s a rally-killer." Jeff Francoeur
We need to score runs in the 8th
‘cause you know who is comin’ in the 9th! Fuck my life!

10th walk
We’re makin, the Royals lineup look like the MFY
"That was a lot of fun… You just keep pounding balls into the gap. The one thing you don’t want to do is hit a home run. That’s a rally-killer." Jeff Francoeur
They scored 44 runs last week
Including games where they had 3 runs and 0 runs. They’re a feast-or-famine offense.
Okay, Butler's doubing is getting a little annoying.

unfuckin' believable
Hope that this will make them angry and kill Greinke tomorrow!

Not literally, of course.
That’d be a waste of a great talent.
Oh, and I found Manifest’s FB page.

Yeah - easy to find when he's the only result with a mutual friend.
I’ll hold off on friending him though – it seems a little weird, to me.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
I have most of the sox prospects on my freinds list
got into a chat with Expo, Almanzar and Mc Guiness (funny dude)
"That was a lot of fun… You just keep pounding balls into the gap. The one thing you don’t want to do is hit a home run. That’s a rally-killer." Jeff Francoeur
Actually, that'd be a pretty good method of interviewing prospects.
You might want to email Randy about it – since you came up with it.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday; Learn to use SB Nation
ok 3 quick runs before Soria comes in
Let’s go!

Oh S*@&t it’s Byrd vs greinke!!!! Let’s say a split will be fine!

MDC doesn't belong in October, neither does Wake at this point....
Could be worse….we could have Angel Villalona.

This game should NOT have been played tonight.
I know about the logistical issues involved, but dammit, this was not fit weather for baseball.
you probably weren’t thinking that when the sox had a 6 run lead in the top of the 5th.

Luckily we get to play tomorrow. Lets get to Greinke and go from there.
