    << <i>One of the great blunders in recent Red Sox history was the release of Orlando Cabrera - I said it at the time, and it has come back to haunt them several times. A great glove man at shortstop is worth 5-10 games a year, and this was one of them.

    99% of Red Sox nation feels the same. Just let Lowrie play from now on.

    I'd rather see my long-dead grandmother (God rest her soul) playing SS for Boston than Luso. She never throws it into the stands.

    Beckett smells tiger meat image
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Beckett is on fire so far!
    Youk with another bomb too!
  • bxbbxb Posts: 805 ✭✭
    A nice win for the Sox, Beckett was sharp.

    Guess who has the highest batting average in the Sox starting lineup after tonight's game?

    Coco Crisp, .315
    Capecards

    Red Sox are better with Crisp AND Ellsbury. I hope the team can balance the egos and keep them both.

    I think what it will come down to is Theo's decision in July concerning this: Do the Sox have everything they need to win the WS? If he thinks no, then Coco is the number one attraction. Too bad he can't throw in Luso too.

    Nice win!

    What did Meatloaf say ? "2 out of 3 ain't bad"
    Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad either.

    I think when other teams visit Fenway, they should be greeted by the Pink Floyd song.....

    "Welcome my son, welcome to the machine !"

    You've heard of the Big Red Machine ? Well, it's not in Cincinnati anymore, it's in Boston !.

    GO SOX !!!

    Yup! I think Barndog threw her name out there a few pages ago and I wanted toi do her/us justice!
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭
    She is FREAKIN' STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    And YES she could squeeze right in between my Perkies and join the club image

  • << <i>Very nice!!!

    I'd trade him for a 40.
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    I'd trade Lugo for a breath of smoggy air.
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Heidi Watney, makes me think "Tina who?"


    Luso makes Rentawreck look like a good SS
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Tina who? did have a great pair of legs. Hopefully Heidi does too.

    I went to talk to my neighbor for a little while and it was 4-2 Minnesota. Nice to come back to a 6-5 lead.

    On the other bright note of the evening Todd Jones tried really hard to blow the game for the Tigers, but held on to beat the Yankees!
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    That was a great relay through to cut down the runner at the plate. Aside from a sliding triple, is there anything more exciting in baseball than a play at the plate?
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Nope! (Especially when Tek is blocking the plate!)
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    Okay, that one was all on Papelbon. It's still too early in the season to be totally gut-wrenching, but it certainly is not a good thing to watch your lock-down closer blow two in a row.
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    I hope he gets them out of his system now as opposed to August and Septemeber!
  • edmundfitzgeraldedmundfitzgerald Posts: 4,306 ✭✭
    Papelbon is top notch. We're 100% behind you Jonathan ! (Doesn't hurt that my 4 yr old's name is Jonathan too !)

    Oh oh...infiltrated by a Twins fan.
    Nice comeback against one of the best closers in the game.

    We'll see what happens today!
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭
    It waws nice comeback, the way I see it though- last night was Papelbon's FIRST blown save, the other night it was Luso's fault all the way image

    When I heard Dice-k gave out alot of WOKS, I thought they meant for christmas!


    When I heard Dice-k did lots of Woking, I thought they were talking bout his kitchen preowess
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I will definately swing on someone if we blow this one.

    Went to the movies tonight so I am happy to see the Sox did it without me!
    Youk leads the team in HR, and Dice K 6-0!!!

    Luso sits, Sox win. Coincidence? Don't think so.

    Hmmm, JD sat too and so did DelCarmen and Timlin.
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Luso has a concussion and Alex Cora is supposed to be back today...hopefully at short.

    Nice Teddy!
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Hopefully Wake stays hot as the bats!!
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Not the start I hoped for....
  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,661 ✭✭✭✭✭
    We need to score some FREAKIN' RUNS!!!!!!!!!
  • TheVonTheVon Posts: 2,725
    I was surprised Wake was so bad tonight. He's usually much better in Minnesota . . . before today he was 7-3 with a 3.95 ERA in the Metrodome. Oh well. We almost pulled it off against Nathan. Let's get 'em tomorrow.
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Yeah, Wake didn't have it. This team is almost always in the game though. Another nice comeback falls just a little short.

    How do you spell Mike Timlin????

    LLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    As soon as I saw him come in I switched to Survivor. I just couldn't watch the oncoming results. He gives up too many late inning runs and needs to be thrown under the nearest bus.

    Of course, had Manny just gotten a single we'd have tied the game, but still...Mr. Loozer added the final nail. God, I'll be so glad when that clown is GONE. He is the resident Eric Gagme.

    Well, Mike Timlin is far from a loser. He has had a great major league career. He has given many important innings to the Red Sox over that excellent career. He has been a voice of reason and a great help to all the young relievers the Sox have called up. He and Wakefield have been two of the steady influences on the team for quite a while.

    I really appreciate all that he's done for the team. I do believe that he has lost some of his form, but he deserves the respect to try and gain it back before Boston makes any decisions about his future. It may appear that he does not have it anymore, but heck, CC Sabathia and many other pitchers are having rough starts.

    I'm sure this will sound offensive, and I apologize up front, and will apologize again if needed, but your words about Timlin were
    very rude in my book. "thrown under the nearest bus"......"I'll be so glad when that clown is GONE"......"Loser". Let me ask you, how
    many world series rings do you have ? Do you have world series rings from two different clubs ? Have you ever played in the
    major leagues ? Do you have a bank account the size of Brookline ?

    I apologize, again.
