Man I really hate steve phillips.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Jacoby leads a game off with a walk so rarely that it hurts to squander it like that.

[strek1]

It's nice for the leadoff walks to be going to the Red Sox for a change.

Be nicer if they did something with it other than a DP.

[TomRicardo]

I would have pitched around Ellsbury as well

[Sprowl]

Ironic, no?

Not necessarily. BABIP is like a minor Old-Testament god: he resents monotheism, and certainly doesn't care much for the minions of the would-be Almighty.

[Reggie's Racquet]

mlb.tv sucks during the game but the commercials stream fine!

[Blue Monkey]

Christ tball game going on here.

[Sprowl]

Warning Track Byrd.

[trekfan55]

Papelbon not available tonight because of back issues.

Well his pitches were scorched last night.

Interesting how the NFL fines teams for not reporting injuries to players beforehand and here we all whine that they should not make this stuff public.

And Byrd is making Ellsbury exercise today. He would still be pitching the 1st and given up about 6 runs if not for the wind.

[octoberaroma]

I dig Paul Byrd's retro wind up, the way his arms swing back. It's like watching a pitcher from 1940.

[mBiferi]

Thank god it's this windy just the day that Byrd is pitchin'.

[Blue Monkey]

That slider is actually pretty nasty.

[SemperFidelisSox]

link?

No link. Steve Buckley said it on CSN Sports Tonight. He had a quote from Papelbon to back it up. "It's nothing serious."

[Buzzkill Pauley]

So that's 4 of the first 6 outs hit to the warning track? Byrd clearly has them right where he wants them.

He has been here for a year you know.

Well, yea after his short stint in Little League.

[TFisNEXT]

Professional hitter.

[strek1]

Let's see Drew isn't playing because a lefty is going but Papi is.

[strek1]

Baldy - HR or DP?

[Blue Monkey]

Somebody in the truck isn't on their A game tonight.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is Scocia calling pitches from the dugout? Surprising for a veteran pitcher.

[mswood]

Let's see Drew isn't playing because a lefty is going but Papi is.

Papi doesn't need constant rest to stay healthy, Drew does.

[strek1]

Papi doesn't need constant rest to stay healthy, Drew does.

Is that really why Drew isn't playing?

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Papi doesn't need constant rest to stay healthy, Drew does.

Papi pretty much gets a rest every night, except for 4 bursts of about 90 seconds each.

Are we still talking about baseball?

[TomRicardo]

Whoever is in the booth with Philips is already starting to call him out.

[Clemente38]

All those numbers about Tek against lefties and Tek against the Angels, well they still can't hide that the guy is sitting at the Mendoza line. Well, he just slipped below the line with that at bat.

[TFisNEXT]

Is that really why Drew isn't playing?

I would think that is part of it. They'll really want him to be healthy going into the playoffs. Any excuse they have, they'll sit him...esp now that the playoffs are becoming a lot more comfortable.

[foulkehampshire]

Hey, if this lineup can score 3 runs off Lackey, I'm quite confident they can eek a few off Cy Saunders.

[mikeford]

SUCK

[Brianish]

Close 2 times. Lame.

[bware]

baldelli needs to be telling dustin where to throw that ball

[RIrooter09]

Oh great an awkward guest appearance.

[TFisNEXT]

Good... give us some offense to distract us from the booth interview.

[Rudy's Curve]

Normally I'm fine with Gonzalez bunting, but Saunders sucks and so does Byrd. Why are we playing for one run?

[Sprowl]

Bad bunt. Bad, bad bunt!

[TFisNEXT]

fucking bunting

[RIrooter09]

Good thing we were playing for one run in the third inning. So fucking stupid.

[aksoxfan]

Nice flyball, Dreamboat.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What the heck is Tito's obsession with bunting lately? Sure it's worked out a couple of times, but it's not like we're world champs at getting the man home with an out.

[SemperFidelisSox]

And Pedroia swings at ball 3 and 4.

[TFisNEXT]

So all bunting did was give Saunders a free out and an easier way out of the inning....sweet.

[aksoxfan]

Keep swinging at those ankle-high pitches, boys.

[RIrooter09]

What the heck is Tito's obsession with bunting lately? Sure it's worked out a couple of times, but it's not like we're world champs at getting the man home with an out.

Yeah Tito's new found love of bunting is certainly a disturbing development. I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the playoffs.

[Reggie's Racquet]

Pedroia has been less than clutch recently

[ELMER FLICK]

What the heck is Tito's obsession with bunting lately? Sure it's worked out a couple of times, but it's not like we're world champs at getting the man home with an out.

There may be situations for bunting, but in the 3rd with Byrd on the mound? I don't get it.

[strek1]

Yeah I don't think playing for one run with Byrd pitching is the way to go.

[Buzzkill Pauley]

So we've done nothing with a leadoff walk, a leadoff single, and a leadoff double. Paul Byrd is on the mound. That is not a combo that inspires confidence.

[aksoxfan]

Nothing wrong with the bunt; but there was with the suck that followed.
