Do not be scared of Rich Harden, hit him and, preferably, hit him hard.

Jon Lester show us that the start in Tokyo was an aberration and we can rely on you to get to that next level.

Most of all...WIN.

[Kitchkinet]

See? We're 2-1. Nothing to worry about. Still 159 games to go.

[Luis Rivera's Cleats]

WIN!

[NJ Sox]

Drew back in RF.
Cora at SS
Crisp in CF

Good to see Tito giving some rest to the regulars.

[neil]

2B-Dustin Pedroia
1B-Kevin Youkilis
DH-David Ortiz
LF-Manny Ramirez
3B-Mike Lowell
RF-J.D. Drew
C-Jason Varitek
CF-Coco Crisp
SS-Alex Cora.


Apart from Cora I'm ok with this lineup.

I expect Papi to go off today. I'm thinking at least a RBI double and a HR.

I hope so Ortiz has been a fog. I hope Lugo's back isn't acting up again. I'm not liking the Coco/Harden matchup. Coco should try and bunt every at bat.

[marsrover21]

uh-oh. Sox 2-0 when Ellsbury starts center, 0-1 with Coco there. You worried?

[Beomoose]

Yes, especially since Coco's only offense last night was a bunt while Jacoby had 3 solid drives (robbed on one, one didn't drop, one was ream's first RBI). Think they have E L J E on the bench in case Drew needs to come out?

[Beomoose]

WIN!!!

[OfTheCarmen]

Why would having Jacoby on the bench make it easier for Drew to come out. If he's playing...simply slide himt o right if JD needs to come out and put Coco in at center.

Whatever...Lester wont need the run support or the dramatics in the field cuz he's gonn pitch a G E M!

Give em hell boys!

[mike94850]

15 minutes to game time!

Here's to getting more from Lester.

WIN!

[EP Sox Fan]

Lester steps up. Papi steps out.

WIN.


That is all.

[ham_sandwich]

Win it for Bob Lobel.

[LargeFather44]

Game time. Wake up David. WIN!

Query: Is Drew playing today?

Edited by LargeFather44, 02 April 2008 - 02:33 PM.

[Kremlin Watcher]

Crisp in for Jacoby Ellsbury cuz Tito wants to load up on lefties for Harden.

[OfTheCarmen]

Yes, Drew is in the lineup.

[EP Sox Fan]

Nice start to the game.

[EP Sox Fan]

Maybe Harden has an ESPN insider subscription......

[rglenmt]

Yes, Drew is in the lineup.

Good hit by Pedroia. Have a good feeling about this game.

[Mr. Negative]

Worked a BB but some ugly swings there by Papi.

[Kitchkinet]

Harden not looking too good to start.

Not even in HD.

[Dewey's 24]

Come on Manny.

[LargeFather44]

I'd say this is the bast case scenario for us here.

[Dewey's 24]

Nuts.

[NJ Sox]

I sense a squander of epic proportion.

[Mr. Negative]

Damn! EPIC SQUANDER now very possible!

[Yazdog8]

I sense a squander of epic proportion.

Damn, that changeup was nasty.

[ham_sandwich]

disgustingly, filthy change.

and done.

JD in mid season form with the groundout to first.

[mike94850]

Ugh... what a squander...

[LargeFather44]

Uh fudge. we needed to get at least one there. good AB by Drew to end it too

[mike94850]

Lester was up in the zone for that whole AB... which was his problem last game too. Hopefully he can get his pitches down soon, or we might be in for a long afternoon.

Are there 2 different versions of game threads? Have had a members on SOSH since Feb 04, but have not posted on SoSH for awhile.

Seems to be a high strike zone today though.

D'OH Manny....

[LargeFather44]

fucking horn is back...

K!

Edited by LargeFather44, 02 April 2008 - 03:01 PM.

[mike94850]

The damn horn is there again!

[Dewey's 24]

Nice work there to get the strikeout.

[BlackhawkTC]

Varitek needs to hit a payback homer for that "double" last night.

[rglenmt]

The damn horn is there again!

Lester did a good job getting himself out a trouble. The Athletics are pesky, and if they don't hit a bunch of HRs, they sort of pick at their opponent.

[mike94850]

Quiet thread today...

[foulkehampshire]

At least coco made contact on that one.

[rglenmt]

Coco needs to have a big game. It is will boost his confidence. He did have a nice bunt last night.

[foulkehampshire]

It'll sure boost the oakland scouts that are hoping to pick him up in a couple weeks.

[mike94850]

That's it! Replace Lugo! Cora Rocks!!!

(Echoing sentiments of last year's premature argument for Cora over Pedroia)

That Alex Cora is such a smart player...

[rglenmt]

Alex Cora is money in the bank. Of course, Manny said that he and Alex are going to sign with a Japanese team. The beginning of Manny being a comic.
