Penny, despite his frustrating outings and questionable ERA, is 2-0 to start the season. Run support is key tonight, given the likelihood of Penny being...well, Penny. Score early, score often. That means hitting them over the head of Choo, not barely within his range at the track.

Despite the nerves, I have no doubt that we're winning this thing. We're too hot, too locked in. Show no mercy. This will not end at Progressive fucking Field against the Cleveland Indians. Get through the back end of the rotation, and we get another fresh start tomorrow. Gut them.

Make it so.

I will wait for you always.

That uncomfortable feeling Cleveland's getting, we're giving.

[Nuf Ced]

Something wicked this way comes.

[Carmen Fanzone]

The ghost of Penny past will appear unexpectedly tonight. It will be great theater. I have no doubt it will scare them.




WIN.

I'm not one of the weather gurus on SoSH, but its forecast to rain during the early evening. Any idea if they will get this one in? I hope we don't have another double header so soon (except maybe the same results). The bullpen has been way too overworked (except nights Wake is pitching ) and are likely to get some work in with Penny on the mound if he is in the first game of a doubleheader.

Weather porn lovers, what say you?

During this win streak my penis has actually grown an inch. Thank you, Doc.

If it lasts for more than four hours, seek medical attention.

Wow, you have to fuck up pretty bad to give Lowell a triple.

Would Ellsbury have been able to get all the way around in the time it took Lowell to get to third?

Hell Ortiz might have been able to.

[Pandemonium67]

I hope the Sox keep on winning and all, but my lucky undies now have a few pretty good streaks of their own.

“My old friend Josh (Beckett, the Sox ace) had a nice comment,” Lowell said. “He said I turned an inside-the-park home run into a triple. That was nice.”

[Rasputin]

We had inside the parker's in 2004 and 2007 amirite?

[Foulkey Reese]

Pokey got one in 2004.

Didn't Trot get one on a ball that Melky misplayed? Or was that ruled an error?

Youks got one in 2007 I believe.


Edit: bocoskboy informed me that it was Youks and not Coco who got it in 2007. Thanks.

I believe Millar got one in late August 2003.

August 23, 2003, off Toronto's Aquilno Lopez.

[joyofsox]

Pokey's ITP HR in 2004 was at the BaSH game!

He hit 2 in that game. Tek stole 2 bases.

And lots of people were wondering WTF was with that group of people chanting G38! G38! G38!" like we were at a bingo parlor.

Either the site went down or the Red Sox streak toppled their bandwidth, but your lucky picture isn't displaying anymore.





C'mon Bradley. Keep it rolling.

Are Brad Penny and Julio Lugo the silver bullets to the rampaging, bloodthirsty werewolf that is Doc Zero?

Stay tuned!

Brad Penny has already appeared in this here crusade. Julio Lugo is a new ingredient.

Then again, so were Hunter Jones, Michael Bowden and Jonathan Van Emery.

Good to see Julio with his game face on

Amalie says they should:

It's raining hard here in Cleveland. The tarp has been on the field since just after the final out last night, and it was needed today. It was just sprinking recently, but the rain has turned harder at this point.

The radar shows that there should be a window in which the game can be played, but we'll let you know as we get any updates.

[normstalls]

If the Sox lose tonight, it will be fairly obvious who to blame: Julio Lugo.

[Mystic Merlin]

I will say, though, if they're able to win in spite of Lugo, I will be convinced of an impending World Series victory.

[jayhoz]

Why isn't Julio leading off? What a waste of raw talent.

P.S. I hope Youk didn't get rid of his softball mitt.

[Foulkey Reese]

I bet Lugo hits a HR before Papi does.

If he doesn't end up back on the DL

[phrenile]

I bet Lugo hits a HR before Papi does.

Everyone's rooting for Papi to make you eat one of Reyes's 88 mph 4-seamers tonight. (Even you.)

BABIP calls to us. He hungers. We must feed him.



The thing about sacrifices to the gods (which Homer understood perfectly) is that the gods only get the things that nobody on earth really wants, like the fat thighbone or the dregs from the wine bottle. With that in mind, and a hat tip to Barbara, here are a few more things with no conceivable earthly value that should be sacrificed to BABIP:

Would Ellsbury have been able to get all the way around in the time it took Lowell to get to third?

Pedroia and Bay would have, Ellsbury might have gotten six bases on that one.

[86spike]

I want a dozen wins in a row.



and dozen donuts.

and a Julio Lugo RBI.

[Rasputin]

Nice hat.

"Have you ever tasted the hood of a car, bitch?"

[JBill]

I wish someone had put up a shot of Lugo sitting in the dugout last night when the NESN camera focused in. I have never seen such misery etched on a human face. He had that expression of utter depression the entire time the camera was on him, and again when it came back to him a minute later.

So in that spirit, welcome back Julio.

[phrenile]

Julio Lugo will teach Cleveland the situationally appropriate facial expression for browning one's pants.

Righty.

"It's going to be cold and it's going to be miserable, but it's supposed to dry up and I think we're going to play," Francona said.

Perfect Lugo weather. He'll be out another 6 weeks (minimum) after this injury.

[paulftodd]

I fear Lugos entry into this streak.

[FelixMantilla]

Jim Rice is seriously scaring me on the pre-game. "I don't believe in working pitch counts, I believe in see-ball-hit-ball."
