What happened to you Bill? Did someone put a pox on you? Was it Lugo?

If it's the pox then it's more likely it was Heidi.

[radsoxfan]

Hall's very obvious goal of getting his OBP under .300 is almost complete. Very impressive surge at the end to make it happen.

[AimingForYoko]

He's ready for a long off-season nap.

Is this code for the glue factory?

[Rick Wise Guy]

Sounds about right. At least our staff will lead the league in something this year.

And next with the three #4 starters for $45 million.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Sweet Billy Hall's swing us U-G-L-Y right now.

His September numbers are sub-Hermidan

[luckysox]

Yeesh, That's a bad sub.

[luckysox]

God forbid he has a 1-2-3 inning.

[Pandemonium67]

Ass Start:

ER + 1 < IP

Like Ted Williams not sitting out that double-header and ending at .406, Hall refuses to let down his fans...

Our offense is hateful.

[BucketOBalls]

Our offense is hateful.

But we're gettting to see the kids play!

[judyb]

Our offense is hateful.

Our DH has a .645 OPS.

[judyb]

But we're gettting to see the kids play!

They do look like they're having fun in the dugout.

[luckysox]

Our DH has a .645 OPS.

Exactly. I am full of hate toward that fact.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Our offense is hateful.

Our offense is on the DL and will be back next spring. The same cannot be said with any certainty about the back end of our rotation.

[luckysox]

Well, once we started counting Ass Starts, Dice K all of a sudden becomes a better pitcher. Maybe he doesn't want to be the team leader is AS's.

[luckysox]

I hate this fact, too.

And I hate that Josh Beckett is now one of the "back end" guys. Sigh.

[topps148]

With Lackey and Beckett on the staff, he's probably safe.

Edit: And if things look precarious, he can always hide out on the DL.

Beckett/Lackey/Dicek

I could see all three of them having sub 4 ERA's in 2011. I could also see all three of them having ERA's over 5 in 2011.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Ah...into the bullpen. Things are looking up.

[luckysox]

That was Beltre -esque.

[judyb]

Ah...into the bullpen. Things are looking up.

Just so you know, if nothing good happens, I'm blaming you.

[Foulkey Reese]

Walking Lowell should lead to an instant DFA.

[luckysox]

Lowrie's hittin' a gapper here....so it'll be 1st and 2nd.

[Fragile Freddie]

Not pinch running for Lowell?

[luckysox]

See, I'd pinch hit Nava here.

[Barbara]

Snakes in the grass!

[radsoxfan]

Well thats just about the only way to have Lowell score from 2nd on a single. RF needs to fall over

[luckysox]

But I would have been wrong!
Sweet Billy Hall!

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Markakis was so excited that Lowell was running that he tripped over his own feet

[AimingForYoko]

Yay we don't have to kill Hall!

[luckysox]

tek yard.

[Barbara]

Damn. You got me all excited. My MLB.TV feed is about 10-15 seconds behind and I thought I had missed something.

Come on Tek. If Lowell can break out of retirement, you can, too.

[Foulkey Reese]

Haha Varitek.

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Just so you know, if nothing good happens, I'm blaming you.

Fair enough on its face, but I can't be responsible for anything that happens during a Varitek AB. Why is he getting playing time?

[unclebobo]

well ... that was horrid

why would anybody run on a full count and less than 2 outs with Tek at the plate?

[SemperFidelisSox]

That's the last time Tito asks the Pawtucket manager for advice.

[InsideTheParker]

Funny how much I enjoy the opposition's outs at the plate. Ours, not so much.

[radsoxfan]

Ok Tito. Was there a better chance of Tek hitting a ground ball there or missing the ball completely?

Lets just say he should not be surprised by that result.

[LynnRice75]

Well that sure ended the rally.
In ther new, Rays have made it 4 - 3 and have 2 on with 2 outs in the 6th.

[luckysox]

Damn. You got me all excited. My MLB.TV feed is about 10-15 seconds behind and I thought I had missed something.

Come on Tek. If Lowell can break out of retirement, you can, too.

Sorry. I as trying to enlist good juju to help us. Clearly is backfired.

[luckysox]

Matt Diaz just tripped a dude who ran onto the field in Philly. The guy ran on, turned directions in center to head back toward left, and Diaz stuck his foot out and tripped him. Werth and McCann had a nice laugh at home plate watching it.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Rocco left the bases loaded

[rembrat]

Rocco left the bases loaded

Que?

[judyb]

Why was Dice-K pitching to Markakis, anyway?

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Rocco left the bases loaded

Shocking.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Dice K couldn't wait to get back out there and do everything he could to give back the lead.

[InsideTheParker]

Rocco left the bases loaded

Four runs in one inning for the Rays. I surely would like to see the Sox do that, like SOON.

[Fragile Freddie]

Dice K couldn't wait to get back out there and do everything he could to give back the lead.

3/5ths of the rotation has perfected this.
