Red Sox vs. Rangers (Wakefield vs. Tejeda) 4/6/2006

[oldskool138]

Here's the official game thread! My boy Wake's first start of the year! Let's go Sox!

[SlumpBustR]

I wonder if pookie is at the game today?

I thought he mentioned going to the Sox opener at The Ballpark in Arlington

[Mikiemo83]

I know I have to give this guy time but the announcing is horrible

Hey, what radio station is this on? WEEI.com is streaming some other show and WRKO has Rush on...

[Fully Tilted]

I'm watching via MLB.TV. it's not great but it'll do. Ironic that I have to stare at the "NESN HD" symbol in the top right corner.

So do I when I'm at home...and I don't have HD yet. I have the TV but due to a SNAFU I can't get the box. :mad: :mad: :mad:

WEEI is streaming another show that's talking golf...:blink:

[Fully Tilted]

I hate Sammy Sosa.

[oldskool138]

Oh well...I guess I have to wait to get home to watch the tail-end of the game.

[splunge52]

I suppose that inning could of been worse.

are you part of the insider club on WEEI? if so you may be allowed access to 103.7 stream

never mind I got this

Due to MLB Restrictions we are NOT allowed to stream Red Sox Game Broadcasts

[Mikiemo83]

I wonder if pookie is at the game today?

I thought he mentioned going to the Sox opener at The Ballpark in Arlington
I remember him saying that also - hope he is enjoying himself while I work

[oldskool138]

Yeah, that's the only way you can listen to the stream. 103.7 doesn't have a site. Just the Boston AM EEI.

Pedroia with his first error of the year allows Wilkerson on 1st and with Wake pitching, like everyone else, he has stolen 2nd.

He has now scored on a single--sigh.......


Sorry Oldskool.......I'm not a fan of Wakefield as a SP. This was not his fault but he's a liability on the mound with runners on at all times.

[Fully Tilted]

By the way, for those not able to watch the game and have internet access, you can sign up for a 5 day free trial with MLB.TV.

To each his own...:)

You don't stay in the bigs for this long without being able to play at a high level. That being said, Wake should be the #5 guy. Lester can't come back fast enough (or the signing of Roger).

[Mikiemo83]

I agree, he is better than 90% of the number 4 pitchers and if we had a closer coming into spring training, Pap would be pitching today with Wake going tomorrow


lester his 96 on the gun last night, nice for a lefty

Gabe is in terrific shape...nice for a manager. :D

[Mikiemo83]

4 K - only one earned run but 2 walks and 3 hits in 3 innings

[Fully Tilted]

AFLAC Trivia question:

Kenny Lofton has played for 11 different teams. Which two players in MLB history have played for 12?

I'm gonna say Rickey Henderson and..........(thinking)......gotta be after the whole free-agent period starting which was in the 70's.........

I got nothing.......

Rickey Henderson
???

[Mikiemo83]

mike maddox?

has to be a relief pitcher

[Fully Tilted]

Mike Morgan and Deacon Maguire

They were my next two choices after "???"

[Fully Tilted]

Crisp, batting from the left, stroked a nice double over Brad Wilkerson's head who was playing him shallow.

Man on 2nd--one out

C'mon Belli!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Belli K's...

[PatsDVD]

Damn work . . .

Doesn't look like I missed much, tho. Where's the offense??

[Mikiemo83]

let down day after the Dice-K Media fest marathon

[Fully Tilted]

The bad news is, we're still down 2-0. The good news is, the Rangers still need to get 6 more outs and they'll have to go through our 9-1-2-3-4-5 hitters to do so.

Let's have some faith. Those guys can easily produce 2 runs (or more) to keep this game alive. And Tejeda will soon be out of this game (hopefully).

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Oh man, horrible day at the office. I'll check in when I can, someone please tell me good news :(

[Mikiemo83]

manny playing defense

[Fully Tilted]

I saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Geico.

Of course, me and SC are now bitter rivals.

[Fully Tilted]

manny playing defense


Nice running catch--not an easy play for him but an easier play overall for an average LF'r.

Good job by Manny keeping this game to a 2-run deficit. It's time for the offense to take back this game.

[Fully Tilted]

Lugo with a 1-out walk.

Tying run at the plate with Youkilis. No DP here!!!!

[Mikiemo83]

Papi wake up man, we need you

[Fully Tilted]

Not a strong AB for Youk. He moved Lugo to 2nd on a slow roller to 3rd. Papi up-2 down.

EDIT: 1st pitch swinging and he grounds out into the shift. On to the bottom of the 8th.

[Fully Tilted]

Lowell is a vacuum at 3rd.

[Mikiemo83]

yeah his errors are all used up for the season - 1 could have been a hit and Youk coud have scooped one


Lugo got this one

[Fully Tilted]

WebGem!

I think you're ahead of me because that happened as I was reading your post.

[Fully Tilted]

Also, Snyder has the best curveball of the pitching staff. That thing is Barry Zito-esque!

Manny-Drew-Lowell due up if I'm not mistaken. To stay positive, if we can get Manny across and Drew in scoring position, I like our chances. Drew has speed and can score on a single by Lowell.

RALLY TIME!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Manny with an opp. field single.

[PatsDVD]

Willie Mo should be pinch hitting for Coco . . .

[Fully Tilted]

Drew down swinging and Lowell on a weak grounder. Lowell at 1st--2 down.

[Fully Tilted]

And Crisp and Lowell make it easy on Otsuka by grounding out on 1st pitches to end the game.

Weak-a$$ effort by the offense. Wakefield deserved better.

[JD10367]

Well, that sucked giant ass.

Nothing like wasting a 2-run, 3-hit pitching performance.

There is NO WAY this team should be held to 3 hits and no runs.

Manny and Ortiz better wake the $*(# up, and SOON. :mad:

[grogsox]

Only 3 hits today for both teams. Another tough luck loss for Wakefield.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

crap. I longed on just to see that poop. Can someone tell me why Coco was hitting in that situation?

[PatsDVD]

Down to the last out, don't you need to take a shot at tying the game with one swing? Pena should have been in there for Crisp.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

This reminds me of last year (or was it the year before) with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, 1 out, and who should walk out to the plate but little Alex Cora! DP, game over :(

Manny had a fine game and other than his 0-4 on Opening Day has been productive.

He went 1-2 with 2 BB's in the next game, 2-5 in the following game and 1-3 today with another BB. He made a nice running catch to keep the game to within 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th with a runner on and singled to lead off the 9th.

He's producing through the first 4 games, Ortiz on the other hand...

[Mikiemo83]

Yeah, the issue with the sox is a bat off the bench - Wily Mo is the best option but who after him? I hope they were not saving Wily Mo for Pedroia.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

I'd rather see Pedroia hit than Coco

[Mikiemo83]

as would I, was Tek on deck for Dougie?

[oldskool138]

Hey! You can't blame me for this loss. From what I was hearing on the radio, everybody was swinging at the first and second pitches and flying out. Wake pitched a pretty good game and the bullpen was solid.

It's hard to win when you don't score a single run. Wake has always had a problem with run support. Like that 1-0 loss to the Yanks on a crap HR by that cheater Giambi.

I'll be back tomorrow night to start the next thread...unless you don't want me to.

Your 2-1 now. Nobody's gonna get on your case.....yet......:cool:

What time is tommorrow's game?

EToE, Tom Werner was at the Boston Sports bar for the Dice-K game. :)

But, the funny thing is he totaled his car in an accident after the game. He's okay but I wonder if he had a few too many coctails.:icon_pidu

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Yeah, that's always a prime suspect when driving home from a bar.

I wish I was at a bar after the morning I had.

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Another game I missed. But looking at the final score I see that the offense didn't score so one can't fault Wakefield for today.

They aren't going to win every game. So I'm looking forward 'till tomorrow and to see how Tavarez pitches.

I can't wait until night games.

[Bases Loaded]

I agree - I think we can develop this kid into a nice middle reliever - or a 5th starter ;)

[Izzo=great]

Anybody else getting sick of the double plays we keep hitting into this season? Im not sure but arent the redsox always hitting into double plays?
