@ScottMCBS Pedro Ciriaco, subbing for injured Everth Cabrera, has a triple and a HR tonight for streaking #Padres, who lead #Dodgers 6-2 in 8th.
Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:And Papelbon blows his 3rd save of the week, this time against the mighty Mets.
And Ellsbury with 2.9x doubles and 7x triples over Sweeney.Rudy Pemberton said:Sweeney with 3X as many HR as Ellsbury.
Maybe if we had Sweeney, we would be in first place....Rudy Pemberton said:Sweeney with 3X as many HR as Ellsbury.
Make it 4 of 5. Padres score 3 in the 9th. 2 of the runs charged to Lee.Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:And Papelbon blows his 3rd save of the week, this time against the mighty Mets.
HillysLastWalk said:Was it? So to keep Sweeney, which of Carp or Nava were you letting go? Once Ortiz came back, someone had to go of these three.
HillysLastWalk said:Gomes is awesome. Those bandwagon guys will learn!
But even so, Gomes was already signed long before they had to make that decision, so it would be irrelevant, no? Or the question changes to, which of these three are you dropping: Gomes, Carp, Nava. But the Sox aren't going to drop anyone with a 2yr/10M commitment.
In other words, looking back, the Sox made the right decision.
Plympton91 said:Interesting thing about Reddick despite his poor batting average is that he's significantly improved his BB rate from 8.2 to 10.2, while cutting his strikeout rate from 22.4 to 17.2 and has a .252 BAbip vs. a career .272, which even that seems on the unlucky side. And, since returning from the DL he has a .355/.391 OBP/SLG in 124 PAs, which is otherwise known as "Shane Victorino at $500k instead of 3 years and $39 million"

Al Zarilla said:Marlon Byrd with a grand slam last night to raise his HR total to 14, OPSing .815.
My favorite Lowe moment was actually in 2003, to close out the As in the ALDS. Just a sick, sick pitch under immense pressure:Soxfan in Fla said:Lowe had a very solid career. Did some great things for the Sox and was huge when it mattered the most in 2004 despite not having a good regular season that year.
Yes.Rudy Pemberton said:Are Ortiz and Arroyo the only members of the 2004 team currently on an active roster (with Youks on the DL)?
