I think I'm trying to say that I love MVPedROYia but he has taken on the MYSTIQUE and AURA of Tek and Trot.

Think aout it.

I'm really not following the argument you're making here--what do you think should be expected of him going forward?

[EllisTheRimMan]

Because Posada was always the better player.

BINGO!

I think he's saying Pedey goes to strip clubs? I'm a bit confused myself.

[Savin Hillbilly]

Dorian Posada?

His *real* baseball card looks like this:

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Because Posada was always the better player.

No. That's not it. For fear of starting another long and silly Jeter like argument, I just simply have to disagree with this. Posada's been better offensively sure, but defensively Posada has never been very good, where Tek once was great.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

They need to take three quick outs here.

Edit--Wiktor clearly got the memo.

I can see the argument to keep the workload light on Beckett in a game like this, but at the same time you hate to pull him too soon when he's finally in a good groove.

RAIN may make the decision for them........ Fucking rain!

Yeah, it's really pouring here in Dorchester....if it's anything like this over at Fenway, they won't be playing much longer.

[Sox-and-Bees]

Yoooooooooouuuuuuuuuk!

[SemperFidelisSox]

Save it for Sunday, Youk. We need outs.

[Sam Ray Not]

Because Posada was always the better player.

That makes sense...

[strek1]

I bet the Umps will really try to get to an official game. Figuring this game is probably already over anyway.

[amlothi]

So much for giving away the inning

[Ananias]

This is reminding me of the 2nd game I ever saw at Fenway: http://www.baseball-...200408110.shtml

I miss THOSE rays. good times.

That might not be a bad thing if they can finish 5. Force some rest on Beckett

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Unmissable pitch.

[Fragile Freddie]

Orsillo: This one's not coming back. I know I'm probably in the minority but I've enjoyed Don for the most part this year.

Jesus, what a selfish bastard Youks is. Pedroia never would have done that. Probably why he's the reigning MVP.

Troublemaker.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Okay, that was a pretty sweet catch.
Now get through the top of the fifth so if the rain doesn't let up you'll still get the win.

[Sam Ray Not]

Mariners with the bases checked and 0 outs...

[EllisTheRimMan]

First, I love the man, but mostly because he has a "B" on his hat. Some critiques: His baserunning sucks. the bunt attempt tonight was his idea (my opinion) and his execution sucked... on top of the fact that a bunt was a stupid play.
Overall, I fear that Pedey is destined to become an Eckstein with more talent... and I would hate that.

[amlothi]

Check the radar map guys. Doesn't look like the rain is gonna last.

[rajendra82]

Looks like Nippert is tasting regression.

[Max Power]

Josh, the rain's coming again. Hurry the fuck up.

[BucketOBalls]

Can Becket get a DP from mister .167 average?

[amlothi]

Ok seriously Josh, learn to fucking tie your shoes

[gattman]

Troublemaker.

Somebody has to be the turd in the punchbowl (or the Baby Ruth in the pool).

[locknload]

Quick get an out!

[mBiferi]

Get this out and let's get out of here.

Unless his career .823 OPS will drop over 100 points... I don't think he's going to resemble Eckstein, except in height.

There's no defending his baserunning, we agree on that. I haven't done a close mental inventory, but I'd be hard pressed to come up with another everyday player who's demonstrably worse. But he's never going to be Eckstein, since, on the whole, he is very good at baseball whereas Eckstein is not. Pedey would have to run his talent odometer in reverse for 10-12 years before he looked like Eckstein.

[Ananias]

Come on, Beckett. One quick out might determine if we have to dip into our bullpen the night before a big DH

[Harry Hooper]

Josh, just lay the ball in there and hope he hits it at somebody.

[Trlicek's Whip]

Stealing with an 8 run lead.

A bit of "Fuck you, 9=8."

[Reverend]

Storm finally started moving a bit:
http://radar.weather...t...OX&loop=yes

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Fuck... one more out to make this official. Just fucking do it, you swarmy bastard.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Only Angel Fucking Hernandez would squeeze a pitcher under these circumstances.

[Sox-and-Bees]

Is it my imagination or is Beckett working slower than normal when he should just be attacking the plate to get this game to be official. Jeez.

[Harry Hooper]

He's certainly not working any faster than normal.

[backpeddling]

Don needs to can his go to "all of a sudden it's..." line.

[Sox-and-Bees]

Hooray.

[NomarRS05]

Good to have our ace back. Man, that's huge.

[strek1]

Thank god. Official game

[Kilgore A. Trout]

There it is! The out that makes this drenched game official!
Is it wrong to be so happy about this?

[BucketOBalls]

Thanks!

Yeah god did the umpire blow that first pitch though. Call that a ball under these circumstances should be grounds for dismissal.

[reggiecleveland]

Fuck call it

[amlothi]

Everything is better when it's wet

[Reverend]

I hope the final call is "water"...

[redsox5150]

Tek muttering on his way back to the dugout:

"that used to be a warning track flyout..."
