Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006
And the Red Sox are 1-3 on the road trip of DOOM, yes!
This is awful. If they can't take two out of three form the Royals I give up. And lets put a rest to the debate of whether or not you walk Ortiz in these situations because Manny hasn't come through all year in that spot. It's a no-brainer right now, you pitch to Manny. And Lester isn't going to have much success if he continues to throw more balls than strikes.Comment

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006
I missed the game last night - thankfully.
Pretty much left questioning why Crisp is leading off, it makes no sense. Complete bust of a player this year. But it's good that pretty much no new acquisitions decided to break from the mold (aside from Lowell).
It's truly amazing how they can be leading 3/4 of the year, and then find a way to f*ck it up without fail every single time.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006
I wouldn't call Crisp a bust yet. He does look lost in the batters box but he is a good player that had been improving all of his numbers every year. I think his injury just set him back this year and next year I'm looking forward to him being healthy and a good lead-off man.Comment

Youk will be back in the leadoff spot tonight as I think Kapler is starting in CF, giving Coco the night off. Put Wily Mo in the 5 spot, for the love of god.Comment

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006
Right now reminds a lot of Nomar when he came back after his long injury in 2004. Even when he's on a little streak he still doesn't look comfortable at the plate. He's pretty much been what I expected since coming back, and that is very streaky to the point that he'll have 4 or 5 good games then 4 or 5 horrid games, there's no in between or consistency. I think at best we can hope he finds his stroke in September and it carries over into October (should the Red Sox get that far). I would expect a good bounce back year in 07 as he doesn't strike me as the Renteria type who just can't get comfortable in Boston. I just hope the front office doesn't get impatient and make a bad deal involving him after the season. I don't see Youk ever moving out of the lead-off spot, unless he develops above average power, but if Loretta isn't back next year Coco could fit nicely in the 2-hole.Comment

Originally posted by Cisco KidManny hits a 2 run homer to put us up 2-0 in the first. Hopefully Beckett can make it last a little while.
I'm sure it'll take only a little bit for him to serve up a couple cookie pitches.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried.

Anyone else watching this game on MLB.com, has your feed been herky jerky as well?“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried.
