Bob had a wonderful run. But now it's time to have another begun.




Win with the chin and make the future-Cy cry.

I'd like to see the 2010 Ubaldo Jimenez start climbing the ladder tonight:

BABIP: .239
Career: .283

ERA: 1.15
FIP: 2.94
xFIP: 3.62

[rembrat]

We are going to get buttraped tonight.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Reverse lock I hope?

[C4CRVT]

UBALDO WILL SERVE UP LUSCIOUS TATERS.

[E5 Yaz]

Reverse lock I hope?

I agree with this.

[Back Bay]

Lackey is ugly. Maybe that will scare the Rox hitters tonight.

What just happened? There are no earthquakes in CT WTF?

5.5-magnitude earthquake hit the Ontario-Quebec border region in Canada around 1:40 p.m.

Reports of people feeling the ground shake have been received from across Connecticut.

Jiminez is not unbeatable. He will not win them all. He will not win tonight.

[Foulkey Reese]

Interleague annoys Tito too.

How are you going to handle things with Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and Adrian Beltre in this three-game set?

It’s actually kind of frustrating. We’re going to play David at first base tonight and play Beltre at third. Either way we go, we’re going to have one of our 3, 4, 5 hitters not playing, our most productive hitters. I understand the concept. I know the fans love it, but we have one of our main guys that we’re paying a lot of money for how many games we play on the road in interleague, nine maybe, that can’t play. That’s tough. It puts us at a disadvantage. So far we’ve handled it pretty well, but it’s a tough way to play.

The idiots on the big show were arguing that, during interleague, the team should play with NL rules even in the AL parks. That way fans "can see what NL baseball is all about."

Those guys are completely brain dead.

They are idiots, but isn't the "argument" that they should play AL rules in NL parks and vice versa? I've heard that one before.

[Foulkey Reese]

Yea it would have been a real treat for the Fenway fans to see Lester pulled after 90 pitches last night. Strategy!

[graffam198]

The bigger treat is watching Lester lay down a sacrifice bunt. Small Ball baby!

Be honest now, how many of you thought we'd be seeing an OF of Nava-McDonald-Reddick before September?

[Al Zarilla]

Be honest now, how many of you thought we'd be seeing an OF of Nava-McDonald-Reddick before September ever?

Well, maybe a blowout in September, but still, those particular three guys?

So thrilled I made the move to 98.5 for every show (except Dale and Holley to be fair), and I haven't looked back since. There's just something about Gresh - I can't stand him.

[Rasputin]

NL ball sucks.

There's less strategy in NL ball folks, less.

Fewer baserunners, fewer clutch situations, fewer important decisions, it sucks balls.

Yeah, Dale and Holley are the only ones I like. I don't always agree with them, but they're at least rational.

I don't think I get 98.5 here.

[Foulkey Reese]

Bleh

Don't look for Drew to play tomorrow. He was discouraged by the way he felt today.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Can they just DL Drew tomorrow to make room for Dice-K, or does another move need to be made like calling up Aaron Bates or something.

[E5 Yaz]

I'm curious about this part of your statement. What consitutes the "more" strategy of AL baseball?

[luckysox]

If Drew needs to be DL'ed, I think they can make that move with Dice alone.

The injuries to the outfield are really getting quite ridiculous.

I think the John Isner and Nicolas Mahut match may have killed Joe West.

Watched the last three hours of it this morning. Simply amazing. And it ain't over yet. Though theoretically, it could be done tomorrow in about five minutes.

[strek1]

dumb or sweet?

phragle how come you're back? You were so disgusted last night with the discraceful, putrid, pathetic performance (Or words to that effect) I figured you wouldn't be back for more.

[Harry Agganis]

Why is there no Gameday available? Fuckwads

[Rasputin]

You know something?

Kathryn Tappen is kinda hot.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I really think Ortiz should play right field tonight.

[E5 Yaz]

Why is there no Gameday available? Fuckwads

Because the game hasn't started yet?

[E5 Yaz]

I really think Ortiz should play right field tonight.

Right field would win

[Rasputin]

I'm curious about this part of your statement. What consitutes the "more" strategy of AL baseball?

It's not that the AL has more it's that the NL has less because the NL is less.

I mean, fuck, how often is your move absolutely determined by the fact that pitchers can't hit for shit?

All the fucking time.

You know the whole thing where you're counting outs and try to steal an extra out or two and the whole question of when to replace the pitcher? When you have to pinch hit for him it removes a ton of that. When he's due up in the next half inning it removes a ton of that or forces you to use an extra bench player.

And with fewer baserunners you have fewer key situations. Just that simple.

And you know what? The best players are on the field less.

Fuck the NL.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Venable with a 2 run shot into the 7 fans in right and SD leads TB 2-0.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Right field would win

It would give us something to laugh at in case Baldo is dealing.

[E5 Yaz]

Nah, he's due for a loss. This is perfect timing

Sources say that Jimenez had the shits because he was going to face the best offense in baseball.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

The caliber of illegal feeds this season have been pretty shitty. Three minute delays, oftentimes terrible pic quality, and very sketchy connectability. And tonight no NESN feed. Have to listen to whoever the Rockies play by play guys are.
I really wish MLB would get their heads out of their asses and cut it with the blocking in market. Honest to god it makes no sense.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Man, our lineup looks really short.
At least this pitcher sucks.
