Cooper Criswell, who really has been very good the last couple of starts, goes for the Medias Rojas on this May 5. Let’s salvage the last game of the series.

I don't plan on talikng politcs here, just saying what's going on. Scolding accepted.
Now Go Sox!
Vamos medias rojas (red averages?)
Chicken chili verde with queso fresco, sour cream and chopped scallions, blue corn tortilla chips with guac, margaritas and Medias Rojas are on the menu for this cold, damp day. VENCER A LOS GEMELOS!!!!
Sounds yummy. Our weather's been great the past few days, mid-high 70s and sunny, today we're looking at a high of 50 with light rain all day. I had a bunch of guys over for poker last night. The chili verde was well received and the leftovers will be perfect as we watch Los Medias take it to Los Gemelos.
It still stings. Having Eck helped but Youk, god bless him, just ain't filling the shoes for me.
The offense of the past few seasons has been very hit and miss and I think we see this continuing this year. O'Neill, Abreu, Duran and the catching combo have been better than hoped and I expect them all to regress a bit. I don't expect Cooper and Brown to replace Casas' potential production and don't expect a lot from Rafaela.
I've never seen anyone actually try to compare a head-cold to ebola. . .but this is close.
100% I think he's done well since joining NESN and continues to get better. I feel that he can be very Remy like in that he's a local son, who played in Boston has a feel for the organization and the fan base, presents an honest POV and does so without trying to be a Remy clone. Having him in the booth is VERY comfortable for me as a viewer. I'm not a huge OB fan, but I'm not as down on him as most here. I would love to somehow see Mike Monaco get into the booth more frequently and one day replace O'Brien. Him as the PBP guy and Lou getting a full time gig as the color man would be my ideal team. If you want to rotate Youk and Middlebrooks (my preference) on a limited basis as a third voice that's fine. Youk does present some good commentary, but being the third man in might calm him down a bit.
Not scolding, joking.
I hope the Medias get off their collective tushies today and remember that moving guys over might be a better strategy than ALWAYS trying to hit homers.
Devers could have scored the tying runs if he'd only tried going oppo with the bases loaded yesterday.
Sorry. I'm not sure where Brown came from, I meant Smith. The fact that I couldn't even remember his name and prefer him to Dalbec says something LOL. The fact that he played in 153 games last year, hit .254 and struck out 91 times and that Copper played in 123 games and hit .251 with an OPS of .724 has me pretty hopeful that optioning Dalbec was the correct move.
I've always felt that Lenny was pretty good in the studio. Much like Wake, he's better pre and post than in the booth.
Bobby launched one today at Worcester 444 feet. JFC. Where was that when he was up?
Perhaps they are perfectly implementing Peter Fatse's AAAA batting strategies.
That was a case where I think you can argue. The box was wrong because the pitch was at the letters.
He would have revealed himself to you. It's only ever a matter of time with that guy.
Not that he’s in the same category, but I don’t think anybody ever tried to get Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle or Reggie Jackson to cut down on their swings or go the other way. The shift was even invented for defending the GOAT, Ted Williams. He said he didn’t want to risk screwing with his swing by going opposite field, although he ultimately did some of the time.
