Im sorry but did any of you guys see John Henry's Future Wife? She is SaMokin' I gotta say it, he cant really think she would be marrying him if he was your average Blue Collar worker?
Papelbon still scares me. Lets up a hit and a walk just about every inning, yet is perfect in save chances this year. He must have a field of four leaf clovers shoved up his rear

I hope he is smart enough to have a Pre-Nup. If not, he should talk to Paul McCartney.
I've grown to loathe the Angels over the last couple years. I hope we not only sweep them, but I hope we embarrass them while doing it . . . I'm thinking of something along the lines of Ellsbury stealing home against them.

the Sox have sucked against LAA during the regular season. I'd be happy to see them win a game or two.
If you really want LAA to be embarrassed, have DO hit a home run against them!

Nice comeback win! I see a time coming soon where top starting pitchers will only sign with teams that have solid bullpen -- unless you are Ray Hallday.
that was not fun to watch until Bard came in for two innings of scoreless relief. Blew away Napoli. Pretty consistent 95-97 MPH. That was the highlight of the night

I think there is a decent chance he will do better than Javier Lopez.

Just asking why people here say Lugo and Penny suck (which is ok with me), said Timlin sucked last year (which was not ok with me), but these same people have yet to say that Big Papi sucks (unless I've missed the posts).
I know it's early, but Papi is worse then Drew, Lugo, and basically everyone else on the Sox.
Ortiz has done a little bit over the years to help the Sox
He is having a terrible year and he may have entered into suckdom, but right now I am more inclined to believe that a few injections and he'd be back to normal
I'll say it: David Ortiz sucks this year and it's not because Manny left and there's no one in the lineup to protect him. He doesn't seem to see the ball well, he doesn't seem to be able to catch up to fastballs this year, and when he does make contact it looks like a malnourished version of Big Papi is hitting for him. I hate to say it, but I think he stopped taking steroids and now his body is breaking down fast.

yep, no roids, no bat speed, no contact >>

0 for 7, left bases loaded twice, including in the 11th. Someone else needs to be in the 3 spot, rather than Mr. Automatic Out who has stranded 11 today
I know Francona wants to be loyal to Ortiz and I can respect that. But Ortiz hitting 3rd is hurting the team at this point. The #3 slot is reserved for the best hitter on the team and although Papi might have fit that role in year past he clearly fits it no longer. Francona can remain loyal to Papi but still drop him down to the 7th or 8th slot where he'll still get some at bats. In the meantime, maybe that would reduce some of the pressure to perform?
The boss took the firm to the game today. Very entertaining. No loss is attributable to one play or even one player, but seeing David Ortiz going 0-7 does leave a lasting impression.

Nice games guys. Atleast they were both exciting!

<< <i>According to boston.com he's going to be out tomorrow and hopefully back on Wednesday. Cross your fingers! >>

You go John Henry!
Youklis on the DL isn't good though. Hopefully he'll be back on the 20th.
<< <i>anyone who was watching...was that Scott Boras in the dugout-type "seats" behind home plate? Sure looked like him. >>
Yes, it was him. He was able to see JD Drew come through last night.
Just thought I'd mention that for all the JD fans on this board.
I still dont like him though.
<< <i>Hey Barndog, there's a Game Used Lugo jersey on the BST board. I figured you'd be all over that! >>
no doubt never used in an error-free game

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Penny sucks.
Hunter would have had that ball, Ellsbury should have caught it
Blew sucks
the plate is about 3" wider today. Santana knows it, Penny does not
not ok with me), but these same people have yet to say that Big Papi sucks (unless I've missed the posts).

P.S. That was one awesome catch by Hunter!

That says it all....
Well got home just in time to see the end!
0-7 for Papi...wow. Francona can be loyal as he wants, but he needs to rearrange the lineup..NOW
