“I’m going to get out of this town,” Nick said.

“Yes,” said George. “That’s a good thing to do.”

“I can’t stand to think about him waiting in the room and knowing he’s going to get it. It’s too damned awful.”

“Well,” said George, “you better not think about it.”

Winnage.

Okay boys. You've shown that you can smack down on bad teams. It's time to unleash the beast that is Jon Lester. I could go for a little 8 innings, 4 hits, no run action from him. Ellsbury continues his hot streak, Papi goes yard to shut us all up, and J. Bay goes 3-4 with 4 rbi's in a beat down that has Ozzie fuming. Keep the momentum going. Keep the pressure on a TB team that had the tables turned on them last night, WIN TONIGHT.

the good news is this game might be over in 90 minutes

Win it for... Yastrzemski

Win it for...

Rob Bradford, who seems to have disappeared from the Bost H. Where did he go?

Not sure if he's there yet, but he was headed to weei.com. (I know, I know.)

Link to old thread that slipped to pg 2 on the Media forum

Oh, and:

Put this one on the board. Yes!

Aw fuck...I forgot about that asshole. I hope I have the Home/Away option on EI this evening.

1-0 in road games this year and will be in attendance tonight.

Bet the house.

I'm in Panama and my Cable System seems to always get me NESN despite what the EI package shows. Trust me, I have never been more grateful than today for that. Of all the away commentators I have had to watch in Red Sox broadcasts (including Kay & Co.) Harreslon us the absolute worst, between his horrid homer run call (including his cheering the ball to "get back"), his "He gone" K call, and his constant "good guys" and "we" in reference to the White Sox I culs be driven up the wall this weekend, especially since I ill probably be able to catch 2 of th 3 games.



It cannot be said enough times. I cannot beleive we are posting a comment like this about a game involving Jon Lester.

Remember last year when we went into Chicago and people were questioning how good the team was? Yeah, they left Chicago with a 4-game beatdown by a combined score of 45-7.

I wouldn't mind that again.

GET BACK, JERMAINE!

Going Saturday and Mon.... Hopefully we can replicate the beatdown we gave the "Dirty" Southtowners last year. Chicago's pen has been getting overworked lately...it would be nice to get into the pen early tonight and set the stage for the remainder of the series.

Let the Pedroia pwnage continue...I hope we have a good line up out there and I hope Youkilis can play.

Peebubbles!

08-08-08 and playing the ChiSox...

I can remember attending "The New England Boat Show" at the Prudential Center with my family when I was a little kid. It must have been 68' or '69. I was 8 or 9 years old. Yaz and The Hawk were the featured celebrity guests. They had a big pool in the middle of the hall where Yaz and Hawk did a fly fishing demo. My older sister was there too, and ended up getting Yaz's autograph. Just being the brother of someone that got Yaz's autograph made me a celebrity in my neighborhood. Too bad The Hawk turned out to be such an insufferable dickweed.

Anyway, every time there is a chance I may have to listen to Harrelson it takes me back to that day. August 8, 2008 makes me think of Yaz, and back to that day too. Funny, the fact that those 2 guys didn't run hard on every ground ball does nothing to diminish that warm and fuzzy memory.

I loved watching the Hawk hit long flies over the Wall myself.

He could never replace Tony C, but he was still fun to watch for a few years.


That being said, I hate listening to him call games.

Win it for...Remy!

I loved the hawk in '67. Hate him as an announcer

This is the beginning of a big ass whooping. Lester kicks off a great winning streak tonight, with a little help from his offense. Bring it... win it... move on to the next victim.

GO SOX - WIN TONIGHT!

I've got (H) and (A) games!

Lowell batting before Bay makes me want to eat my dog for dinner.

I checked as soon as I got home. I have (H) & (A) as well. Comcast EI channel GAME12 for you bay area folks.

Don't worry, Lowell's hitting .181/.234/.222 since the break.

That's right, his OPS is .456.

Mike Lowell has never slugged higher than Jason Bay's career SLG with the exception of 2003. Bay has always had a higher OBP as well. Having him rot down at #6 is frustrating.


The lineup construction is a bit overrated though, so we shouldn't be overly concerned.

Don't do that; you don't know where it's been.

That reminds me. The Olympics are on.

Aww, crap. Did I slide in my sleep again? I could have sworn the Sox had won their last two...

Professor!

thank God.

It took 6 gin and tonics, but I can safely say that while I will always prefer Heidi, I would indeed plow the fields of Amalie with reckless abandon...after I trimmed her.

I saw her up close. Trust me, you don't want to go anywhere near her.

Bring a weed wacker.

Not the best of starts.

And no, I wouldnt just lie there, if thats what you were thinking Michael.

.... and Papi continues to look like sheeeet.

Hawk in '68 was much better.

I am not very confident in Papi.

I am very confident in Lowrie.

Unfortunatly I missed the '68 season

So annoying that the CHW announcer is pronouncing Jed Lowrie's name Jed LOrie instead of Lowrie.

Hmmmm I thought he went.

Needs to get the ball down.

So did Joe C.

Is Lester getting squeezed?

18 pitches in the 1st. The bottom of that inning seemed like it went on longer than that.

Lowell is a dead man walking

That was bad.

Lowell continues to sting the ball.

Whatcha waiting for Tito?
