he's done for today, let's see if Tito waits for KC to tie it before taking him out.

[Southpaw67]

He tipped his cap.
Good job Julian.

[onesoxyladee]

And we have two cap tips!

[Barbara]

OK ... we need to stop talking about how well Julian has done!

Pre-Edit: Bye Julian.

Real Edit: Did he acknowledge the cheers any?

no close up of youks? mildly dissapointed

[Toup]

Good call pulling Tavarez. Nothing had been hit in the air prior through 5. He was tiring and it was showing.

Nice Big Tip of the Cap too.. I hope that don't upset Youks..

[Sprowl]

Tavarez's third time through the order and the Royals figured him out. Sounds like Kyle Snyder. We've got two long relievers next year.

Yeah, tipped his cap 2 or 3 times

With their powers combined....


Tavarez starts, snyder can finish.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Looked like he had his mind up before he came off the mound

That must have been the quickest tip of the cap I've ever seen in any Sox game in about 20 years.

Haha seriously, he didnt even give the fans a chance to cheer

[onesoxyladee]

Gonzo goes up the middle better than anyone.

Christ, sign him.

[Somerset]

Tavarez can get ground balls for days when he's in control of his pitches, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the bullpen next year. He leads the league in dp's if I'm not mistaken.
The tips of the cap were classy too. Oh Julian, why must you make me love you?!?

Nice hustle by Youks to end up on second there...

Edit: Base hit scores Youks.... Our luck is reversing maybe??

[Sprowl]

So did Brian Corey look as good as his line on Gameday? Should he be part of the bullpen next year?

[ilya678]

if rudy was there earlier this year than corey's spot is a lock

[MonstahsInLeft]

I love when Remy and Don's mike's get broadcast!!!

Uhh...except when they don't say crap...

[Toup]

PAPI!!!!

48.

[patinorange]

papi , lets get 52 homers for the man

[ilya678]

how the fuck did he manage to golf ball that one the opposite way
just impressive

[Jack Sox]

3 more to 51.

[SeoulSoxFan]

PAPI!!!!

(sound of the crickets on the game thread.... sigh.... )

[Barbara]

Papi!

I love these moments of the real Red Sox.

(As opposed to the since the end of July possessed by aliens Red Sox.)

[Strike4]

Really, what more can we look forward to than him breaking Foxx's record?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

One of Snyder's best games was in relief of David Wells in one of his rehab starts -- knee-bending curves from both sides of the plate. Tavarez's sinker/slider combination would make a nice change of pace from Snyder's curve/fastball/change toolkit.


And on another note, nice to have you back, Papi!

[Barbara]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

MVP would be nice.

[ilya678]

has an ump ever reversed a call just because a manager argued the call? kind of seems pointless half the time, unless your name is lou PinIella than thats just entertainment

[Jack Sox]

MVP would be nice. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

He really should get it. A most valuable player is not someone with 12 Home runs and no range in the field.

[Al Zarilla]

Papi!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Then who was that in red and white the last two nights?

[reggiecleveland]

Papi's so good that's why the fuckups in assembling this team piss me off. This not just another Sox team that missed the playoffs it is the Sox team with the best, no two best hitters they have ever had in my life time.

[reggiecleveland]

If Kapler hits a grand slam I will murder a hobo tonight just to celebrate

[Pandemonium67]

Call me pathetic, but after being out all morning I got back and the first thing I did - even before dealing with an imminently impending bowel movement - was get online to check the Sox score.

Not sure whether the score or BM brought the most relief, but I do feel pretty damn good at the moment.

[Section15Box113]

Is there not another living soul we could have up in this spot? Watch him K.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sounds like you're saying they should have gone for it this year big time. I kind of agree, a bird in the hand and all that, but the injuries late this year might have killed their chances anyway.

[Section15Box113]

Yep. Looking.

I just wish it could have happened at home!

[Pandemonium67]

Same was true in the Pedro era, except for his being maybe the best pitcher ever during a few of those years.

Maybe this will pay off the same way.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Are you fast forwarding or something? When does he do it?

[RIRed]

Talking about Tavarez, I think Corey is serious competition in one category:

Clearly no competition for Kapler IMHO

Edited by RIRed, 10 September 2006 - 03:45 PM.

[redsoxfansince72]

Per Orsillo :

Wins since ASB :

KC : 23

Red Sox : 22


WOW...

[RIRed]

Preferably, against the MFYs!

[MonstahsInLeft]

Article on MLB.com now about Crisp's finger injury flaring up last night in his second at bat (and that it hadn't fully healed yet).

Might explain some of the later non-moves by Tito as well as his poor offensive performance since his return. There are a lot of things to question about Coco, but you've got to think (hope/pray) he'll rebound a good bit next year.

Edit: clarify

[Pandemonium67]

Regarding Tito's Kapler fetish, do you think someone told him that if he plays Murphy too much, he'll burn a redshirt year?

[Pandemonium67]

Brandon Arroyo with another gem today, even if it was against the Pirates. I thought the NL had him figured out.
8 IP, 0 R, 7 K, 0 BB

At least Wily Mo has been a stud today.

Too bad Tito will undoubtedly split up Coco's down time between his son Gabe and Wily Mo.

God this is funny even with us lurkers we're at 5 pages and it's the 8th inning

He gave up 2 earned runs, fyi.

At least Tito is making decent bullpen decisions today. Unlike Mr. Torre, who just can't wait for Scott Proctor to have Tommy John surgery.
