I like Crisp, and he was a key contributor to the 2007 WS win. But he should start and not be a backup, so I think the trade was good for him. I would have liked to see them move JD Blew instead, but nobody will pick up that bloated contract for a chronically hurt player.
no Youkilis, no Ellsbury, I think Francoma decided it was a loss before handing in the lineup card -- why else stick with Masterson longer than 4+ innings -- which seems to be what he is built for this year.
How very nice to come home in the 6th and hit rewind to see the Sox tie a record with 12 runs in a row at the start of an inning without an out. Good stuff.

tied a major league record for runs scored in an inning before the first out.

Is Luso better then Papi now ? >>
about the only hitters not better than Ortiz now are Kottaras and Bailey
I can't believe that MLB is thinking of taking away the 2 Red Sox World Series titles just because Manny was illegally juicing as far back as 2004. Can you imagine how much cheese it's gonna take to pacify the Sox fans while they're whining? It just might cause a mass exodus from Massachusetts to Wisconsin -- and boy would that ever tick off the good folks in Wisconsin!!
Did you hear Eckersely make fun of that Indian player who tried to stretch a single into a double? The replays showed he beat the throw, but he was called out. Eckersley said he was stupid for trying to do it since his team was down by 11 so he's out. Good stuff.

I couldn't listen to Eck for a whole season, but yes, that was awesome. Political correctness, baseball-flavored, is not his strong suit, which makes him enjoyable as a commentator. He even has Orsillo talking about "high cheese" now.
Nice homer by Baldelli, but he looks rather uncomfortable playing RF
<< <i>7 hits in the 5th...come on get him outta there~ >>
the ability of Sox starters to give four quality innings is unrivaled this year >>
Fortunately we have a great bullpen and lots of help in the organization when needed. It's a long year but Lester's struggles are troubling. I think in the long run he'll be okay though.

Lester, Beckett, Penny, and Masterson seem to be experts at "a solid four" -- no bullpen in the world can back that up for an entire season. Where's a healthy Smoltz and Matsuzaka when you need them?
You're right, how long can we expect Wake to carry us? Well even with the pitching woes we're in a lot better shape than other teams and it's only May!
The Red Sox game denied to me again this Saturday. I even got NESN from Directv to back up my MLB extra innings package, which didn't have the game. Then I see the Braves-Phillies on the National Channel. I go to NESN ( chan 628) and is says "game not available in your area"! What??? I'm at least 300 miles from Tampa, and I know I'm 1,000 miles from Boston. I would rather dig dirt than watch the Braves-Phillies, so, I did exactly that. On the bright side, looks like I didn't miss much of a game, last I looked, 14-5 in the 7th. ouch.
<< <i>What time do da boys from Beantown start playing today? ; >>
The same time the KC Royals get a ring. Would you like us to post a few picks of what they look like. >>
They won one in 1985. Perhaps you were not born then, but you should also have some basic knowledge of recent WS history. They had this pretty good player named George Brett . . . .

Just gave up his first run of the season last night. Looks like the early returns have both teams benefiting in this trade.

Not many things are better than beating the Yanks.
Jason Bay: .322 7 25 .487 .644 , Salary: $7.8 million, Age: 30
May turn out not to be a bad trade, even after eating $7 million of Mannywood's 2008 salary.
I stand corrected for this game!
<< <i>Tonight no Youklis, Ellsbury, or Ortiz. And Julio Lugo batting leadoff...UGH! >>
no Ortiz helps, the Luso thing, well you know my thoughts on that.
At least the staff ace is pitching

Yeah I know how you feel about Luso. I am that way with Nancy Drew. My son says he's okay...yeah look at his BA with runners on base. OUCH.
You're right about Wake. Hopefully this lineup can get him some runs!

How much longer is Penny in the rotation? Okay, he got through 6 innings today so that's not too bad.
That is all, thank you.

Too late to sign him for reasonable money now.

Ok, he is hitting well (so far), but $9 million is a lot for a pinch hitter.
