My week and a half of no wife or daughter at home comes to an end tonight. No more strip club visits or drunken text messages to and from 20 year olds. So that means I'm back to the Sox for entertainment value.

Sox win today, then win again, then a few more after that. That would be good.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

The Buchh stops here.

Whatever works, man.

[Jack Sox]

Look for Brandon Moss to get the call up.

Win it.

Win it.

In place of whom?

[hunter05]

I understood that if Casey was placed on the DL, Moss would be called up.

[sibpin]

Moss is in town, no move yet, Ortiz scratched. per Extra Bases.

1. Jacoby Ellsbury, RF
2. Dustin Pedroia, 2B
3. J.D. Drew, DH
4. Manny Ramirez, LF
5. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
6. Coco Crisp, CF
7. Jason Varitek, C
8. Jed Lowrie, 3B
9. Julio Lugo, SS
-- Clay Buchholz, SP

[Doc Zero]

Just win.

[Seabass177]

Beat them.

[NYCSox]

If Ortiz is scratched, why isn't Manny at DH? Is Drew slowed by an injury?

[Rooster Crows]

Yes, its been a long 6 weeks or so - extensive travel, intensive flu and whatever. So far, still in first so no harm/no foul BUT it's time to get it together, kick it up , bring it and win this sucker. Kick ass guys!

GO SOX - WIN TODAY!

Ortiz Resting Right Knee

David Ortiz is not in the lineup tonight, after bruising his right knee making a head-first slide into first base on the rally-killing 1-6-3 double play in the 11th inning Friday night, a slide manager Terry Francona refered to as a "car accident." Ortiz, who had surgery on the knee in the offseason, winced as he tried to sit at his locker Friday night after the game. The injury is not considered serious, but he gets tonight off, with J.D. Drew the DH.

[glennhoffmania]

Yeah. Why?

[dauber23]

Papi needs a rest, and, after last night's debacle, this is a good night to take off.

Clay dominates and Sox win.

[normstalls]

losing sucks
losing streaks suck more

please stop sucking.

[rembrat]

Today is the game where the wheels fall of for Edwin Jackson.

[syoo8]

Ellsbury = wheels

[MidnightC]

I'd love to watch a footrace between Tacoby, Coco, B.J. Upton and Carl Crawford.

Fake Edit: Fark.

[DaveRoberts'Shoes]

Oh my god will you please stop it with the effing GIDPs.

[syoo8]

Unlucky, then lucky

[OCD SS]

I approve of that use of the bat.

[rembrat]

Firmly cemented in (ML) 3rd place with 29 double plays.

[normstalls]

this team needs to stop hitting into double plays.
they have to lead the majors right?

edit - i guess not. thanks rem

[OCD SS]

Is it just me or is Manny's K rate up?

[syoo8]

K

3rd most, also 3rd most runs and #1 in baserunners. GDP are like RBI - a product of opportunity.

[Average Reds]

This has the makings of a good night.

(Yanks just lost in the bottom of the 9th to Cleveland.)

[rembrat]

Going into today's game his K% rate was at 26.1%. What makes it more glaring is that his BB% is only 8.9. Well below his career norm.

The highest it has ever been as a Red Sox (and for his career) is 27.8% in 01'.

[OCD SS]

And Buchholz gets the rookie strike zone.

[ragnarok725]

Got a little squeezed there...

[syoo8]

Curve doesn't seem to be breaking early in the game

[jtn46]

Paging Mr. Farrell

[OCD SS]

Those pickoff throws are really high.

As are those pitches. Strikes please, Clay.

[rembrat]

Paging Mr. Farrell

You have to wait until after the run scoring single.

[MidnightC]

Youk doing what he does.

[OCD SS]

Coco doing what he does. Hopefully Tek will give him a chance to steal 2B...

Edit: without the DP would be nice.

Edited by OCD SS, 26 April 2008 - 06:41 PM.

[MidnightC]

Two innings, two DPs. [Sigh]

[jtn46]

Hideous baserunning Coco.

[Lars The Wanderer]

At least that is a different type of DP...

[Steve Dillard]

New and creative ways to hit into double plays.

[rembrat]

Uh.. crap. At least look for the ball Coco.

EDIT: Hey that is 30!

Edited by rembrat, 26 April 2008 - 06:41 PM.

[ragnarok725]

God damn it, Varitek smoked that thing.

[Razor Shines]

UPton hardly had to move. Boneheaded play.

Coco's been competing for the CF job pretty well, but one category where Ellsbury destroys him is baserunning.

[OCD SS]

Coming into today, Hinske was second in the AL behind Manny in OPS, and was the only other player with a 1.000+ OPS.

Let that sink in for a minute...

[OilCanShotTupac]

Jesus Christ, Clay.



Some, uh, restraint might be a good idea.

[amarshal2]

Clay is dealing

[MidnightC]

Efficient!

[Pearl Wilson]

First pitch strikes really seem to be a big help.

[rembrat]

Ohh a slider. That makes like 6 if Pitch f/x is to be believed.

[OCD SS]

Lugo, don't you dare GIDP.
