Hideki Okajima, Javier Lopez, David Aardsma, and Craig Hansen are also scheduled to pitch.

The game is on SNY. First pitch at 1:10.

Be prepared to hear about the Santana deal 75869856879 times over and how the Sox held on to Lester. Fuck.

[Foulkey Reese]

I realize that these games mean next to nothing...but I would really like to see a Sox starter come out and pitch well.

[Joe D Reid]

Any audio for this one?

Gary Cohen is going to be really tough to take for a full game.

[SoxScout]

anyone else have no audio on mlb.tv?

Turn the volume on your computer on.

Lowrie with a good swing at a johan fastball, then did not go after change low and away. then K'd on a change right down the middle up...lol

and you are laughing out loud why?

[Foulkey Reese]

Youks down on 3 straight swinging strikes

[Clears Cleaver]

jhan gets Youks swinging despite not throwing a strike to him the entire AB. and Drew pops up. Sox leave two after varitek's fly ball was lost in the sun

[Foulkey Reese]

Pray for strikes

[templeUsox]

It was Moss who popped up, no Drew.

Real quote from Keith Hernandez: "The Red Sox centerfielder is a name you better get to know, Jason Ellsbury."

This is one of the worst broadcast teams on the east coast.

I may be mistaken but CC was one of the biggest supporters of the get Johan At All Cost movement during the offseason..

[templeUsox]

I think he lol'd because of the pitch sequence.

Lester with a good fastball on the black to wiff Wright

[Pearl Wilson]

Lester's getting some swings and misses. He went 0-2 on the first 2 batters.

I actually like Darling and Keith.(Is Darling there?) I think they are one of the best duos in the game.

But our opinions differ. VS was driving me crazy yesterday.

[templeUsox]

Lester looked very good.

[SoxScout]

2-0 ground outs are a lucky thing.

Cohen is a humorless, self-righteous blowhard, which is precisely what you don't want out of a color man.

Hernandez is the homer of all homers.

Together, it's a very tough listen.

Edit: Kevin Burkhardt is awesome though. He'd be a top 5 color guy in baseball right away. Definitely a rising star. And an Eagles fan.

Quick inning for Santana.

I'll agree with you there. I caught his debut (I believe) last week (Mets v Braves) and he was very enjoyable to listen to. He also does a good job on WFAN.

[templeUsox]

Lester K's delgado on a check swing.

[Pearl Wilson]

Lester backed Delgado off and then struck him out reaching.

[templeUsox]

Anyone care to guess on Lester's pitch count ?

11 as of Easley's pop up according to Gameday...

so who knows

Edited by Foulkey Reese, 10 March 2008 - 12:42 PM.

Lester pounding the strike zone and looks damn good doing it.

His slider is just down and off the plate in a nice spot.

FWIW, gameday doesn't track pitches in ST. IE outs 1 pitch, BB 4 pitches, k 3 pitches.

Church pops out after a long battle.

[Clears Cleaver]

santana topping out 90-91 and change is 80-84

Awesome to hear

If he can keep that up he's going to be a hell of a pitcher this season

Cohen's not the color man, he's the play-by-play man. I think he's very good. When the play calls for it he gets excited, whether it's for the Mets or the other team. He gave a great call on Coco's catch against David Wright two years ago.

Hernandez and Darling are good, too.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

[Pearl Wilson]

It's Ginter right? They're calling him Carter.

Anyway he singled but was out on FC by Ellsbury.

[SoxScout]

lowrie lazy fly to cf

[SoxScout]

Ginter K'd to end last inning, Carter got on to leadoff this inning but I missed how.

Yea, I meant PBP. Well, everyone will have their opinions. I think they're awful. Cohen's constant berating of the DH and playing the game "the right way" gets stale very quickly.

Tek k's, slider down and in. Johan looking good.

Inning over.

[Andrew]

Boxscore looks nice, how is Lester looking?

[Pearl Wilson]

Lester getting lots of swings and misses and poor contact. Another K!

[SoxScout]

Pagan wiffs... fb away.

Lester's slider looks dominate today.

[jtn46]

Looks good. His cutter is a fantastic pitch, happy to see him featuring it more.

Another K, swinging slider away
