The 2009 Red Sox Championship run thread

IchiroDeported · April 29, 2009 7:39AM

lets go TRIBE

sigh. its a pipe dream, but perhaps Carmoron can pitch a decent game, unfortunately jonny lester is on my fantasy squad (but so is kerry wood) I will cheer for a good one run game

FanOf390 · April 29, 2009 9:04AM

Carmoron?? Geez, always the hater.

Bottom9th · April 29, 2009 11:16AM

Well Lester didn't get you too many points I don't think!

Bottom9th · April 29, 2009 11:18AM

<< here's a pleasant surprise: JD Blew is not in the lineup tonight. Injured vagina again.

Unfortunately, Youkilis is out too. Team says he's sore from getting hit by a pitch yesterday, but truth is likely that he blew out an artery in rage over the inability to catch a perfectly-thrown baseball demonstrated by both Luso and Timlin-Lopez >>

I just read that again. I think you're right. I fell asleep and had to rewind it to see the look on Youk's face.
Well after tonight's game the Sox are coming here to cowbell country. If there's a worse giveaway at a stadium I don't know what it is!

Barndog · April 29, 2009 11:19AM

Lester pounded the top half of the strike zone tonight...not usually a good thing at the major league level

Barndog · April 29, 2009 12:43PM

regardless of what Papelbon does in the bottom of the tenth, game ball today goes to Van Every. He was having a notable game all night in the field and at the plate. The homer in the tenth is icing.

Bottom9th · April 29, 2009 1:02PM

Whew....nice comeback and great game by Van Every!

VitoCo1972 · April 29, 2009 1:24PM

Yessir!!!

aro13 · April 30, 2009 2:58AM

Another nice win last night! The bullpen, despite the walks last night, has been very effective.

Barndog · April 30, 2009 7:40AM

seems JD Blew's yeast infection has cleared up, he's back in the lineup tonight.

Bottom9th · April 30, 2009 10:09AM

Barndog · April 30, 2009 10:39AM

in case anyone hasn't noticed, this is a year in which we should expect disappointment from Josh Suckett. So the Sox ace this year is Tim Wakefield. After Wakefield, it's the bullpen that has been doing very well. Can't think of anyone else. Yikes.

Bottom9th · April 30, 2009 10:53AM

You might be right. Nobody except Wake as done much this year. Thankfully the bullpen in is top notch?

How can Garza look so good against the Sox? Perfect through 5? (hoping the jinx works)

Barndog · April 30, 2009 11:18AM

Garza looks great, perfect through six. Congrats to him for a wonderful performance, no matter how long it lasts.

Goot · April 30, 2009 11:19AM

<<

Because he is good???

Barndog · April 30, 2009 11:35AM

good job for Garza, even though the perfect game and no-hitter is gone

Goot · April 30, 2009 11:37AM

<< good job for Garza, even though the perfect game and no-hitter is gone

>>

Yep, tough way to lose it on an infield single.

Pedroia was safe by a mile on that last call.

Barndog · April 30, 2009 11:43AM

at least now that there was a hit, I can watch the Celtics full time tonight

Goot · April 30, 2009 11:46AM

<< at least now that there was a hit, I can watch the Celtics full time tonight >>

I've been doing the same thing. Flipping back and forth between the Magic and Rays. Bring on the Celts

joestalin · April 30, 2009 12:12PM

Josh Beckett sucks!

Sincerely
My Fantasy team

perkdog · April 30, 2009 12:29PM

What is Becketts deal?

Anyone?

toadstrangler · April 30, 2009 1:07PM

Hopefully he has bundles of bone splinters in his elbow

kidding ....

Barndog · April 30, 2009 1:15PM

he just sucks this year, nothing more, nothing less.

aro13 · April 30, 2009 1:59PM

Beckett's control is off and he is suffering from some bad luck. He does have 31 k's in 28 innings so his stuff is still good but he has already walked 16 men which is almost half of what he walked last year in 174 innings. Assuming he is not suffering from any injuries I think he will bounce back.

toadstrangler · May 1, 2009 3:13PM

Come on fellas!

No posts after a butt whipping? Is it safe to say you guys can't get on the Yankee fan (Pretty much just me around here)
for not posting after a butt whooooopin?

edmundfitzgerald · May 1, 2009 8:07PM

Last time I looked, if the season ended today, the Red Sox would be in the playoffs
and the overpaid underachievers would be calling Tiger Woods.

The Yankees are in their usual submissive position. They seem to enjoy being under the big boys.

It's amazing we are struggling with the Rays, but I'm not worried yet. I'd be much more worried if I was a Yankee fan!

FanOf390 · May 2, 2009 1:11AM

"I'd be much more worried if I was a Yankee fan!"

And you'd be much better-lookin' too!

Barndog · May 2, 2009 11:01AM

the staff "ace" gave up five runs through five innings, oh no!

Bottom9th · May 2, 2009 11:29AM

At least he left with a lead. That's more than our starting pitchers have been doing recently.

Barndog · May 2, 2009 11:36AM

when, if ever, will Ortiz drop to #5 or lower in the batting order?

Bottom9th · May 2, 2009 12:41PM

A win is a win...especially in cowbell country!

perkdog · May 3, 2009 7:45AM

I dislike this Rays team

Goot · May 3, 2009 10:09AM

hatter

Connecticoin · May 3, 2009 9:12PM

Will there be any game Lugo starts where my family does not shout "Lugo Sucks"? He hasn't had one yet . . . . . .

perkdog · May 3, 2009 11:06PM

<< Will there be any game Lugo starts where my family does not shout "Lugo Sucks"? He hasn't had one yet . . . . . . >>

No, just like there wont be any game that Im watching where I dont comment on how much of a complete waste JD Drew is.

perkdog · May 3, 2009 11:44PM

BTW- V-Tek should be ashamed of himself allowing Crawford 6 SB's? You got to be kidding

perkdog · May 3, 2009 11:46PM

<< Josh Beckett sucks!

I know I laugh at you because you took Papi with your #1 pick, but taking Beckett with your 2nd pick wasnt all that bad although Im sure you could have done better- providing you knew anything about fantasy BB.

Sincerely
LMAO

Bottom9th · May 4, 2009 5:50AM

BAM!

Barndog · May 4, 2009 5:59AM

if Ortiz can't hit a home run in the new Yankee stadium, it's time to drop him to 9th in the order.

Barndog · May 4, 2009 8:32AM

just read this on boston.com. Emphasis added is mine. Seems to me like catching a soft toss thrown to one's glove is a "play that is hard to make"

"I spoke to Lugie today," Francona said. "He came back quick. I don't think he's moving yet like he's going to. I told him to take the next day or so and meet with (strength coach) Dave Page because I think putting him out there is a little unfair. He got himself put in situations where plays were hard for him to make. He will get there.

I wish Francoma would throw Luso under the bus.

perkdog · May 4, 2009 9:10AM

Again, why on earth Lugo was even considered to be starting when he came back is beyond me. Green needs to be our everyday SS, I couldnt care less if he is not ready as he will still be more productive than one Mr.Luso

FanOf390 · May 4, 2009 9:57AM

"Again, why on earth Lugo was even considered to be starting when he came back is beyond me. "

Little trouble in paradise, ladies?

Bottom9th · May 4, 2009 10:00AM

<< Again, why on earth Lugo was even considered to be starting when he came back is beyond me. Green needs to be our everyday SS, I couldnt care less if he is not ready as he will still be more productive than one Mr.Luso >>

I agree...I'll take Green over Luso any day of the week. I know I've said it before, but I wish OC was still in Boston.

Barndog · May 4, 2009 10:02AM

we are big OC fans in this house.

Bottom9th · May 4, 2009 2:18PM

Another bomb by Jason Bay. Batting over .600 vs. the Yankees this season!

blu62vette · May 4, 2009 3:14PM

bases loaded, bottom of 9 at 1:10 in the am.

Barndog · May 4, 2009 3:24PM

that wasn't an easy one, still counts as a "W"

Bottom9th · May 4, 2009 9:39PM

Fell asleep in the top of the ninth. Maybe it was good I didn't see the nail biter finish!

edmundfitzgerald · May 4, 2009 10:36PM

Amazing how many empty seats last night. Looked like we were playing in Pittsburgh.
