The Angels need to worry about our running game too.

[joelmon]

Fish tacos for everybody!

Please don't make me spit my hot chocolate over my computer.
So, any word on how many pitches Dice K is allowed to throw?

[RIrooter09]

Rocco is retarded.

[Savin Hillbilly]

Baldelli + Ellsbury = nice range. Though it looked like Rocco could have avoided the slide if he'd seen it a little better off the bat.

[Sprowl]

Farrell talks about Matsuzaka's "Houdini act" with the bases loaded. He doesn't know how DiceK does it either.

[Sprowl]

DiceK is getting occasional crazy movement on his 2- and 4-seamers.

Does Daisuke even know? It may just be a wonder of the universe we are not meant to understand.

I suspect there is some kind of camouflaged trap door halfway down the third base line that leads to a patented "shuto chute". Runners attempting to advance to home are "redirected" through this hidden contraption, down the chute and into the waiting room of a small midwestern medical practice.

How exactly they clean their minds and return them for defensive play, or the details of the crowd hallucination have not revealed themselves to me at this time.

[teddywingman]

I really like what we're seeing here.

[FenwayFrenzy]

DiceK looking good after the 20+ pitch first inning. 44 pitches through 3. Color me shocked that he can be described as "efficient".

[Brianish]

what

[PeaceSignMoose]

Last series of the season has turned into Bizarro world.

Varitek leadoff double. You've gotta be kidding me.

[reggiecleveland]

Swansong

going away present

[RIrooter09]

Don't be fooled Tito, he's still not good enough to be used in the postseason.

[Brianish]

Steal third. Just to say you did it. Let's go.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Varitek with an extra base hit. They should stop the game so the players and fans can applaud.

[strek1]

TEK set to go on his Play-off tear!!! **



**Sarcasm meter on VERY high**

[Barbara]

It's been a long time since we have seen

Captain! My Captain!

round these parts.

[uilnslcoap]

So does this mean we're going to see Varitek catching for Dice-K in the playoffs since Martinez has no experience with him?

He caught him in the Yankees game...

[Sprowl]

Tek can still see the ball hitting right-handed. His toastedness has a platoon split.

[RIrooter09]

He caught him in the Yankees game...

Did he? That's good to know i wasn't able to watch that one.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Gonzo is allergic to walks

[shepard50]

of COURSE!

[teddywingman]

Tek's swing is so fucked up... I just rewatched that double from the side angle in slo-mo. His weight is transferred almost entirely to his front foot before his bat has entered the 'hit zone'... it's like his bat is dragging behind every other motion in his swing.

[FenwayFrenzy]

He caught him in the Yankees game...

http://mlb.mlb.com/n...bosmlb_nyamlb_1

Looks like Victor caught him that day.

[Brianish]

Come on guys that is CLEARLY Animal. Get your facts straight.

[SemperFidelisSox]

The muppet is better looking than the girl.

[teddywingman]

wtf is going on with those chicks?

[uilnslcoap]

Overpaid Ellsbury. Should be trying to drive those runners in instead of letting the neck-high fastball go by and selfishly loading the bases.

[shepard50]

Teks split have converged a bit but he is still significantly less sucky as a RHH..

LH AB:255 BB:38 SO: 70 .204/309/365/673
RH AB: 102 BB:5 SO:19 .225/328/461/789

[EllisTheRimMan]

wtf is going on with those chicks?

Too much ink. Remy thinks so too.

[shepard50]

omg - Sowers is the kid from:

[Papelbot]

Apparently whether the ball was caught or not is going to be a real Wedge issue.

[Savin Hillbilly]

Wedge: "You got the call right, but this is my last chance to get on TV for a while, so bear with me here...."

[pokey_reese]

Victor is a beast.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Got to give Wedge credit for even leaving the bench tonight, much less arguing the call.

[FenwayFrenzy]

So Wedge was fired already.... but he's still managing these last few games? Bizarre.

[EllisTheRimMan]

Anybody know who starts for the Sox Sunday. Some really nice field box tix fell into my lap so I'm just a bit curious although I know this is meaningless.

I would guess Byrd.

[Barbara]

Ellsbury needs to work on some of the evasive maneuvers that Pedey uses.

Sunday is Ohka vs. Buchholz according to redsox.com

[Manramsclan]

There is no good reason to attempt that steal there. There is one out, and he scores on a single anyway.

[Brianish]

If he gets to third he scores on a sac fly.

[InsideTheParker]

That was very selfish of Ellsbury, not to mention stupid. Someone should talk to him.

[EllisTheRimMan]

I would guess Byrd.

Thanks, my guess too. I was hoping for a Buchholz tune up, but not very likely. Anyway, I am taking my 6 yo daughter to her first game ever and my wife (both 1st Fenway experiences) so this is more about the spectacle of Fenway and the Sox than actual baseball.

[kieckeredinthehead]

Or trying to get to 70 SB

[Manramsclan]

If he gets to third he scores on a sac fly.

good point.

missed that one.

Do you think that it's worth the risk of an out though?

[EllisTheRimMan]

Sunday is Ohka vs. Buchholz according to redsox.com

Hope so

[InsideTheParker]

Not that they'll need it, but Ells just cost them a run.
