5/2/2023 Toronto @ Boston - "Thunderbolt & Lightfoot"

[JohnnyTheBone]

The irrepressible Alex Verdugo ended yesterday's game with a thunderbolt, and today we honor Ontario's favorite son... the legendary Gordon Lightfoot. One can't begin to underestimate (thanks mauidano) how beloved Mr. Lightfoot is in his home province. We began yesterday's win with another of Canada's favorite sons, the great Neil Young. Today belongs to Gordon, and the resurgent Tanner Houck. Yusei Kikuchi can be rattled. If you could read my mind, you'd see another Sox win in our near future.

Canada’s answer to Neil Young

Isn't Neil Young Canada's answer to Neil Young?

Just like The Butthole Surfers are TX's answer to 13th Floor Elevators.

Very Canadian response.

 

[InsideTheParker]

There is an ad running lately for Canadian liquor that lists everything we owe to Canada. It's a long list, including football. Perhaps I should copy it and add it to the Things You Only Learned Recently thread in P&G.
Anyway, I don't feel all THAT grateful, so Geaux, Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the MLB schedulers are trolling the Bruins

Game 31
Another tough night inside The Garden,
I was cussing and cursing James Harden.
Depressed the Bruins and Celtics fell short -
first on the home ice then on the home court.
Magically, just as the Celts’ fate was sealed,
the Sox stepped up to protect the home field.
Duran and Valdez both smacked a homerun,
the Jays tied it late, but the game was won
when Dugie displayed his “Papi-like” touch
with a solo shot. The kid has been clutch.
I laughed as he dropped another F-bomb
and the fun walk-off win helped restore calm.
Bonus! The Yankees dropped to the cellar.
Hope tonight’s game is equally stellar.

Not any great roster shake up; these are all spare parts with the exception of Colas, who they hoped could take over right field on an everyday basis.

 

[Cassvt2023]

Lineup for tonight is out. I think I'd rather have Kiki at 2B and Arroyo at SS at this point.....

Isn't Neil Young Canada's answer to Neil Young?

He had to mean Canada’s answer to Bob Dylan right?

 

[Coachster]

Verdugo RF, Turner 1B, Refsnyder LF, Devers 3B, K. Hernández SS, Yoshida DH, Arroyo 2B, Wong C, Tapia CF

 

[E5 Yaz]

I never try to put thoughts into other's people's heads. I have enough trouble coming up with my own.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

It's a joke.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

Prince. PRINCE is Minnesota's answer to Bob Dylan!!!

Isn't Celine Dion Canadas answer to Anne Murray?

Celine Dion is Canada's answer to Canada geese

The field has to be a mud pit at this point.

These keep being super solid verse. Thanks

 

[Ale Xander]

Hopefully Valdez has learned how to make a tag at second today. But he’s on the pine anyway

It isn’t. Source, me, two rows behind the right field fence.

We. have a reporter on the scene! Let's go live to him!

If we're honoring Lightfoot, hopefully tonight isn't The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Wind is light, blowing out towards left.

 

[Moviegoer]

The Blue Jays will never drop those 70s style numbers on their uniforms, will they?

According to Gordon, he recorded this song in one take.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Houck looks utterly dominant.

 

[derekson]

Honestly I think Houck has rotation future but Whitlock needs to go back to the pen

 

[Al Zarilla]

Springer swinging for the Mass Pike.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I'm OK with walking the molten Bichette.

 

[derekson]

Easily jammed Vlad Jr

 

[InsideTheParker]

Why was Houck bad against the Orioles? What was different?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Solid inning for Leftsnyder.

 

[derekson]

Houck's 2-seamer/sinker has CRAZY run tonight

 

[Redkluzu]

So who is in the NESN booth with Youk (and OB)?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wakefield.

 

[derekson]

Hell if I know, if I did I'd work for MLB.

 

[derekson]

Wakefield

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Wakefield.

Thanks, I was about to ask the same question.

 

[Redkluzu]

I thought it was Wake -- thanks

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Anticipating another thunderbolt from Verdugo tonight.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Dude is locked-in. Mercy!

 

[derekson]

Verdugo against lefties even this year fucking amazing

 

[Al Zarilla]

Verdugo "tough lefty?" who cares?

 

[Moviegoer]

One fourth of the way to the cycle.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Justin time for a productive-ass out.
