PrintThe Mayor's Cup is already won. Now it's just about rubbing salt in the wound. Game is on ESPN, and I believe Nomar is on the air.

Lackey will get his final Spring appearance, with Delcarmen scheduled to follow.

Nevermind, Tug IS the replacement.
Cameron and Beltre were both already scheduled to play. It was just confusing because MLB.com had Tug and Ortiz both in the lineup earlier.
USG
What happened?
For those of us not able to partake in the ESPN festivities?

Ball takes a bad hop on Beltre, who half-slides getting the ball, spins while standing up, and throws off balance from his back foot.
The ball sails perfectly to Lowell at first to beat the runner by about 5-10 feet.
USG
i'm really happy that Beltre has started taking pitches as ST has gone on
he had me worried at the beginning. I need to learn not to take the beginning of march too seriously
haha yeah i know
i hate that. But still, I’m happy to see that he’s looking for good pitches, not just swinging at pitches in the zone.
Ugh, can someone please explain to me why Morneau is considered an superstar?
That MVP award was a joke.
USG
haha one of peter abraham's comments on the game so far:
“Beltre has a putout and three assists. Tremendous spring UZR for him. Tremendous. "
what do we need a shortstop for?
let’s get a 4th outfielder! we’ll have drew in right, cameron in right center, ellsbury in left center, and hermida in left.
TEK
My head has been in the sand . Tek has to go!…………………I feel like i just kicked a puppy! :(

Wow, hell of a play by Scutaro
Collects the double play ball, steps on 2nd, and leaps over the runner while throwing to first.
USG
I don't think anyone can say Lackey is quite at his best today.
Which just goes to show what defense can do for ya.
USG
Rangers picked up Garko, so almost certainly don't want Lowell at all
who is left? Mets? Omar want to give us Santana for Lowell? He’ll have to cover some of Santana’s salary of course.
He really should
Though I wouldn’t be shocked to see Schoeneweis just because of Nelson’s out in June. I hope not though, I don’t like much about him.
Holy crap!
’Tek with a hit.

No, that was Wagner.
It may look like Tek, but do you really buy that VARITEK got a hit? I mean, come on.
Obvious April Fool’s joke.
USG
He even did it batting left-handed
Astonishing!

Who the heck is Sean Weiss?
Did we sign him to a minor league deal?

I wish Theo had a time machine
He could go back in time and actually get something valuable for MDC.
DFA Beckett

and MDC hits two batters in a row
you don’t need to take out their team Manny, we’ve already clinched the Mayor’s Cup.
So, Ben, how do you feel about Manny?
Be honest now
DFA Beckett
by South Coast Ghost on Apr 1, 2010 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Probably a little of both
Plus, yeah, Manny sucks.

i think it seems in line with his velocity all ST
was hoping it’d be better today. Guess not. But then, while his velocity has been down, his control has been atrocious.
DO you smell what i am steping in?
IS it me or is the bullpen a !#$#%$# mess !
by RED SOX are #1 in my heart on Apr 1, 2010 3:29 PM EDT reply actions
I dunno about a "mess"
But it certainly has more than a few questions about it.
DFA Beckett
by South Coast Ghost on Apr 1, 2010 3:32 PM EDT up reply actions
i don't know if it's a mess, just a couple questions in it
The way I see it is:
Bard and Papelbon should be solid
Oki, Ramram, and Atch I expect to be fine
The questions are Is MDC ok? and
Nelson/Schoeneweis? Will whichever makes it be ok?
The fact is, on April 23, once Dice-K is healthy, we’re almost certainly losing one of those spots anyways to Wake, who should be solid in whatever role. I don’t see Nelson as that big a question mark, he’s generally pretty good. We have some depth that should be ready to come up this year in Richardson, possibly Bowden, Nelson if he doesn’t start on the roster, Cabrera, Castro. If none of those guys seem like they’ll work out, it’s easy enough to trade for a middle reliever on a non-competitor who’s doing well.
So not really too stressed. The pen is very important, but very easy to work with if a couple pieces aren’t working out.
Sean Weiss didn't completely blow up
So that’s good
