Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

I hope the strike zone is as big for Beckett as it was for Roger in the 1st

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Does JD Drew know that he can actually swing the bat before he gets two strikes? I swear to god he doesn't swing unless there are two strikes.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Alright, well there is the 2 wins for the Yankees in this series....time for Schilling to make it 7 again

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

thats such BS....the Yankees are getting all the calls

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Only thing about a call like that is...

If you're going to have a rule saying the runner can't "go three feet away from the basepath"...you need a pretty clear-cut definition of what the basepath actually is. Youkilis got by A-Rod while still remaining on the dirt, his foot hit the grass once a-rod no longer had a play (because he clearly did have a chance to tag Youkilis, Youk bent his body and avoided the actual tag)...

P.S...that was a dumb play by A-Rod overall. He was obviously trying to go for the triple play from the start, but in a situation like that you have to go for the 5-4-3 double play.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

^your expecting A-Rod to make a smart play?

All we had to do was win 1....our offense has looked pathetic. Schilling had a great outing, should have come back out for the 8th. They send Beckett out last night, but not Schill....wtf?

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

they needed the sweep more than we needed to avoid one

still not worried

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Anyone see the whole...uniform check on Terry and his comments about it?

Just saw it on the First Report thing on ESPN.

Damn, don't usually see Terry upset after a game like that. At least the MLB admitted they were in the wrong.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

More evidence that the MLB has its priorities horribly out of whack.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Wakefield has lower back pain, so he's not pitching tonight.

Enter Tavarez

The runner defines his basepath.

Since he started from well on the outfield side (based on a straight line from second base to third) and ended up stepping on the infield grass, that was WAY beyond moving three feet to avoid a tag. That should have been an easy, near-automatic call.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Talk about laying an egg at home. I don't think that's how Timlin envisioned his 1000th game going. This lineup is terrible right now, hopefully some of the Sept 1st guys make an impact.

Re: Boston Red Sox: 2007

Buchholtz gets the no-hitter

What a pitching performance. That curve was nasty.
