Haven't done this in a while. Let's see if I've still got it.

You'll thank me later.

I want one thing for my birthday. A RBI from our DH. (it doesn't have to be the DH who played tonight, in fact I'd rather it wasn't...)

It's your birthday too?

Yeah, well, sometimes it is. I'd rather hold this girl's hand then go back for a second dip on 90% of the grade-D STD-factory pussy I've stuck it in over my lifetime. She's so far out of my league, though, I mentally refer to myself as "Javier Lopez" when she's around. -- JimBoSox9

Nobody's getting thanked for game threads, happy birthday wishes, or patience from me unless we win this fucking game...

I like to think I am simultaneously mature and enlightened enough to see the reasoned arguments on both sides of this while simultaneously immature enough to think almost everything about this story is funny.

Pedroia: David is fine. He's our teammate and we believe in him. It could have been me who hit into a double play. It is 60 at-bats. A couple of years ago I was hitting .180 [I forget the exact number] and everyone wanted to kill me. What happened?

After a particularly ugly loss, the best possible elixir is for an ace to perform like one.

There's really no excuse for Beckett not to dominate the Twins shitty line up.

Pedal to the metal, Josh - time to set the tone for a real beat down, so we know you still have it. Kick ass, guys - don't sweat the HRs, just worry about solid defense and some good old fashioned small ball, and that should do it with our ace on the mound. Papi - I'm still rooting for you - today's the day.

GO SOX - WIN TODAY!

Beckett had better strike a shit load of people out today, because that defense is absolutely brutal.

QUOTE

MINNEAPOLIS - Jason Bay gets a day off today as the Sox play the finale of their four-game series here. He's replaced in left field by Jeff Bailey.

Here's the lineup:

Ellsbury-CF
Pedroia-2B
Drew-RF
Youkilis-1B
Lowell-3B
Ortiz-DH
Varitek-C
Bailey-LF
Lugo-SS
Beckett-SP

I wonder if Baldelli is still having hamstring issues. Why would Tito play Bailey out there over him?

Can we call Rocco a bust yet?

Goodbye, Hubert Horatio Humphrey Metrodome, and good fucking riddance! No one will miss your trash bag walls, your scabby artificial turf, or your cruelly exclusionary firearms policy.

Tito takes the long view. The long view is that Bay needs a day off once in a while.

The short view is that weakening a line-up that has produced two runs in each of the last two games, both losses, blows chunks.

The long and short view is that Julio Lugo sucks and should never play.

I have no problem with Bay getting a day off. He definitely needs it and it has to happen eventually.

It just sucks that our 4th OF is made of glass and gets paid a half million dollars to not play.

I have a problem with it, it's my birthday, and I didn't want my birthday present to be the Yankees in sole possession of first place.

Fuck you, Jason Bay.

Francona said Rocco Baldelli has been sore. The Red Sox are still feeling their way around Baldelli's channelopathy condition which causes muscle fatigue. "He's tender," said Francona concerning the hamstring soreness that Baldelli has been fighting. The Sox didn't play Baldelli last night because Francona wasn't sure the outfielder could play the whole game. He'll likely get to play again in Toronto where there are two lefthanded pitchers going.

What a fucking joke. Guy has a .639 OPS and the team is jumping through hoops to try and manage his condition.

They probably need to get rid of Mr. Glass. He has some potential, but I'm not sure they can continue carrying a player who can play so sporadically. Kotsay and Carter may be more useful than Baldelli and Bailey.

This has to be the worst Red Sox bench since 2006.

“I don’t think I had control difficulties. One guy had damn body armor on the whole left side of his body. I get 1-2 on him and he lays over the plate and it hits him in his elbow pad. Whether or not he has a doctor’s note for it or not, I don’t know."
