These Orioles have now given up 30 runs in one game, and have been no hit in another. In short, they suck.

Daniel Cabrera, however, is on another level of suck.

He lives at the corner of Suck & Suck. His pet mice are named Cesar and Crespo. His 60GB i-Pod is full of nothing but Goo-Goo Dolls, James Blunt, and Richard Marx. He has a Tasmanian Devil tattoo on the small of his back. He wears Oakley Razor Blades (my bad- that's Millar). He bet $10,000 on Michigan yesterday. Everything about him oozes suck. Everything he touches turns to suck.

In stark contrast is I didn't know that Jon Lester's name does not contain an H, who is as tough a bastard as they come. He will not fuck around, for this is September baseball and these Red Sox demand total victory. How does this gang of pussies from Baltimore expect to beat a man who wipes his ass with this:

That's really disgusting. :)

I approve of this thread start. Posted Image (This smiley is pasted in from elsewhere, we need to add it because it is made of Win and God, and because Clay Buchholz says so.)

EDIT: I wonder if Ieshan got to score with his girlfriend last night/this morning... :)

Career no-hitters:

Buchholz - 1
Fat Billy - 0

That was the first thought in my head as I woke up this morning. Nice way to start the day.

Today, Lester is out to remind Red Sox nation that he's no slouch of a pitching prospect either. I expect nothing less than total domination on both sides of the ball.

WIN!!!!!

At the risk of acting prematurely and stepping on CoRP's toes, you, sir, win at the internets.

OTOH, I hope the fellow who dreamed up that image has found the proper medications.

Today Lester shows Buch that he will not be easily shown up by some fresh-faced rookie whose closest brush with a medical crisis is a pimple before a big date.

The most pschizophrenic pitcher in the majors is what he is, but the Red Sox usually bring out the one you describe.

Having missed the game last night for a variety of really stupid (and some not so stupid, like the family honoring the code of not calling each other during a no-hitter) reasons, I expect -- no, DEMAND -- a performance by Lester the Molester at LEAST as awe-inspiring and glorious as that of the 12-year-old that is currently wearing a Red Sox performance.

And, may I also say, congratulations to Seth Mnookin on his nuptials -- thanks to the New York Times weddings page, we all know what you look like now. May your newfound marital bliss buoyantly carry the Red Sox into late-October victory!

Dear Eight Pound Baby Jesus, still tiny but still omnipotent:

Allow Lester to keep his pitch count down, whilst allowing our beloved home town team to drive up Cabrera's pitch count and drive him from the game in the fourth inning.

In the name of the Father, of the Son, and Ted Williams,
Amen.


WIN!

Cora, Moss, Ellsbury AND Cash? Did they just pass a new rule where no-hitters count for 10 wins and the Sox have already locked up the division?

The only reason I can see Cora in there is because he owns Cabrera. The others have me shaking my head too.

As long as Cora is not replacing DP, I can live with it.

The more I look at that replay on that no hitter saving catch, the more incredible it is.

Yesterday is the kind of day that can propel this team to great things. That is why this is an important game, they don't want to lay an egg today.

Cora batting 2nd could be a Genius move suggested by Cora himself. Tito just went along with it because he knows that Cora's IQ is way higher than his own.

We've been together for 3 years, but we're long distance right now. I'm in Iowa finishing a Ph.D. while she's in Boston finishing her M.D. So, sadly not.

The backstory on that whole thing btw: She called me two nights ago and was like, "WOW! This guy from the twins has a perfect game!" So I flipped on the TV, the first guy is a walk, and the next guy is a hit. And then I told her she was the curse.

So when she called *last night*, I had to act quickly.

Also: No Pressure Jon! Fuck throwing no hitters, you beat *CANCER*. The Orioles are weaker than CANCER. WIN.

Emmitt Smith says make the magic number 21. Pound the Orioles into submission, and fight for spots on the playoff roster in doing so.

Alex Cora is 11 for 18 (3 SOs) with a 3b, a 2b, and a HR against Cabrera. Does it justify him hitting second in the lineup? We'll see.

Make it 21.

Win!

On the Gagne injury, from rotowire:

Eric Gagne, who hasn't pitched in a week, is battling some shoulder tightness.
The Red Sox believe Gagne overdid it in side sessions as he attempts to return to form. He's pitched scoreless innings in his last four appearances for Boston.

Meanwhile, Torre knows he's behind and needs to throttle Tampa Bay:
Damon LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Posada C
Cano 2B
Phillips 1B
Cabrera CF
(behind Pettitte, vs. Jason "7.44 ERA" Hammel)
Going for foot on the throat.
Pray that Hammel finds a way to channel Sonnenstein.

Cora is a kick in the balls, but he has good numbers against Cabrera. What are the Sox really losing with Moss, Ellsbury, and Cash? Varitek has not been hitting well lately, neither has Coco who is a bit banged up, and Hinske is pretty awful. I don't think its that big of a downgrade, it just looks like a JV line up.

In watching that montage, to my eyes, it still looks like Clay called off Tek's first sign on the last pitch. I don't know that it matters much, but I keep reading that Tek called the perfect pitch, but it looked like Clay wanted the curve there.

That last pitch was a 77 mph curveball. I didn't notice Clay shake him off. If he did it was so subtle.

Hammel for TB has 6 K's thru 3 innings. Only 1-0 TB.
