Re-showing Boone HR = good karma.

[esaslaw]

This is, by the way, the right move. Wake today. If it works, Beckett tmrw. If we lose today, tmrw is almost pointless. If Beckett were to win today, we wold have nobody to pitch tmrw, except, I guess, Wakefield. The ancient history of his success against NY on a different team, with a manager who liked to pretend it was 1958, ought not to be a factor.

Looking for reasons for hope, there is, at least, this: http://www.baseball-...200607310.shtml . This was a few weeks before our 2006 free fall began.

How about Wily Mo Pena w/ 3 hits and 3 runs batted in? Who is this guy?

[marsrover21]

Maybe Youk will be inspired and start to hit.

[Age of Aquarius]

Boy, Youk looks fired up to read these promos, huh?

[ExtremeR7]

Holy shit, Youks scared the shit out of me reading that....

[Age of Aquarius]

His guts match his stuff? He has bad guts?

[marsrover21]

I'm supposed to have the carpet cleaned today. Hopefully the carpet cleaners are sick.

[Effa]

PLAY BALL!!!!!

[neil]

START THIS GAME GOOD DUSTY!

[Doctuh]

Good job reading the lineup Youk, just the right note of disdain.

[neil]

Fuck off.

[Scippy]

Way to work that count...

Youk is awesome. Reading the lineup like he's about to kill the reporter.

[marsrover21]

First of all, I don't like P-Did's A-Rod-esque swap at the glove.

Second of all, holy shit, these Injuns are fired up!

[esaslaw]

Petey on the first pitch again/

[FoulketoMinky]

Good Lord, Dustin.

[ExtremeR7]

Pedroia is really pressing...the kid just doesnt have any plan on the plate whatsoever

[Phil Nevin 23]

lookin good thus far. Slappy dive!!!

[Age of Aquarius]

Okay...so what happened to the whole "work the count" thing again?

[hunter05]

If Byrd seriously pitches a good game, i'll hang myself

Ouch.

Hard to work the count against Byrd, he consistently throws strikes.

[neil]

Byrd's stuff is so hittable.

Whats the fucking problem?

[shawnrbu]

You don't work the count against Byrd. All he does is throw strikes.

[Therdrail]

Bird throws strikes, he went 45 innings this year without a walk,
you have to hit him.

[BigSoxFan]

If Coco doesn't get a hit tonight, Theo and Crew better explain the non-use of Ellsbury.

[Age of Aquarius]

You don't work the count against Byrd. All he does is throw strikes.

You can work the count by fouling balls off too, you know. And I hardly think his stuff is the "swing and miss" kind.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Too bad the Cleveland crowd can't get into this game.

[hunter05]

Well I don't think that inning could have gone any worse really

[JimEdSF]

Well, that felt familiar.

[neil]

Crowd sounding like its the 9th already.

[marsrover21]

What's with the weird camera when they go in close on the pitcher?

There is no such thing as a Fake Edit, I am just an idiot who can't figure out how to put a secondary thought into my posts without this crutch: Shit, we do not look good at all. Let's hope Wake's knuckle flutters like a leaf in the wind.

[BigSoxFan]

That last pitch wasn't a strike. This team is pressing big time.

[Sprowl]

The Sox are swinging aggressively, but Byrd is not pounding the zone, he's nibbling. Adjustment bears watching.

[FoulketoMinky]

Buckle up kids, here we go.........

[ExtremeR7]

That sucks the broadcasters even shut up so they can hear the crowd..they really want Cleveland to win this one those assholes....

[AMcGhie]

Byrd just stopped the forward motion of the baseball and stared again. That K pitch should have been called a ball before it got to the plate.

[neil]

More bad I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery during the adverts.

[Yazdog8]

Spectacular.

[hunter05]

Yeah he is, he threw first pitch strikes to everyone.

[Barbara]

I am going to have to be seriously sedated if we are subjected to an entire game of that Comebacks ad.

[Age of Aquarius]

I doubt that the Fox execs do. Ratings for a Cleveland/Colorado series? Not impressive.

This is the September Red Sox. Not good.

[marsrover21]

Okay, I'm going in for HW karma points. Hope it works.

[patinorange]

Byrd's strategy is pretty much throw strikes and let the team catch the ball.

Usually pretty effective against the Sox.

We'll need to hit some homers, no walks tonight.

Go Timmy, you need to be at least decent tonight.

I think Cleveland will take Colorado in the world series, I really do.
