Man. Papi with the homer before I can even get gameday audio working at work. Neato.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
It's amazing that a player who has been around as long as Kendall, could put up half of his total career XBHs against one pitcher.

And we couldn't capitalize.

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Strike 2 on Chavez looked about 15 inches outside, according to Gameday. Anyone watching confirm?

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Relax dude. We're only through 3 innings. You're letting the past games screw with your head. Just breathe.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
He's been good, but he's been getting most of the calls. (Notably, outside corner calls, inside has been pretty fair from what I've seen) OTOH, Blanton hasn't been as lucky and we haven't been able to cash in.
If the umpires are trying to give us a gift for yesterday, then the gift should be an investigation into why some of this crew still have a job. Ultimately a poor job calling balls and strikes now two days in a row, and I guess both sides have benefited, but I mean. What are we paying these guys for anyway? ;-)

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
I've only got Gameday audio while I'm at work so I'll take your word for it. But they've been pretty consistently making bad calls in every game I've seen. I'm glad Francona finally said something. Even if he did get ejected.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
This is absolutely true. I just feel like one or two of the calls he's gotten haven't even been borderline. But on most days, with most umpires, good or not, fair or not, a guy like Schill gets corner calls more than a guy like Blanton.

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Can someone tell me what Lugo has done? He's been crap all year as far as I can see. I don't see any promise in him.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
So can, um, Willie Harris

Think he could pitch a perfect game?

That doesn't count as jinxing, you interloper.

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Gotta try something to help the A's offense.

Holy cow
That was close...

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Does Schilling still have the no-hitter. All my scoreboards are frozen in the 5 th inning.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
yep. 8th. 1 out

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
4 more outs!
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
1 more inning, 3 more outs for the no hitter.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Whoa, I just got back from work and Shill's pitching a no hitter? When's the last time he got a no-no?
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
I don't think he ever got one, but he is only 3 outs away from now
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
He came close to getting a no-hitter a couple times with Arizona.
Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Against this A's team is as good a chance as you could ever get for a no hitter.

Good ovation from the A's

One to go.
Man, if it weren't for Lugo we'd be talking perfection.

Damn. And Shannon Stewart of all people...

Beatings for Shannon Stewart

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
And Lugo too. If not for his error, it would have been a perfect game. And yet another 0-fer doesn't help.
such a pity
The Yanks suck so much their fans have to get their jollies watching our guy pitch. I'm sure Schilling appreciates it though.
Re: such a pity
Hopefully he will blog about it tonight.

Really, please go away now.

Re: OT: Sox @ A's: Can Schill Avoid The Sweep?
Impressive game still for Schilling. Similar to the Mussina game in 01.

Absolutely awesome stuff from Schill.
And he's taking it in good spirit.

Meanwhile, back at the draft...
the Red Sox take Nicholas Hagadone. LHP.

Re: Meanwhile, back at the draft...
a reliever? He's better be good.

Second pick is
Ryan Dent, a super-athletic shortstop out of high school. Sadly he won't be ready to take over from Lugo for a while.

Re: Second pick is
Why not? The way Lugo has played lately, he couldn't do much worse...
Re: Second pick is
Next pick at 84, if I'm reading it right. Last year I seem to recall that we had a solid first few rounds, then really starting opening up with big-money signings later on. Perhaps we'll see similar this year.
Oh by the way, Dent was our pick for Foulke. Who retired. So thanks, Indians!

Re: Second pick is
Thanks Indians, sure, but they didn't actually "give us" anything, compensation picks are just "extra".

Re: Second pick is
Ah yes. Thought it was the second round but was in fact the 1s.

Pick 84
Jeff Morris, a high school outfielder who has put up "ridiculous numbers". Not a very well-rounded player.

Re: Pick 84
Actually 3b, but might project in the outfield.
