Schilling vs. Carrasco, Sox vs. Angels, Saturday vs. April 14

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

The Angels suffered horribly that Friday the 13th, the day belonging only to the devil, and not to Angels of any sort, never mind those of Los Angeles or Anaheim. But, just when they thought the coast was clear, and they had been through the worst of it.......

*ominous music*

They're not out of the woods yet, folks. The horror continues!
(special thanks to 3 Point Stan for providing Saturday the 14th mojo)


Today, the Angels must contend with that most horrible of ghouls:

BLOODY SCHILLING

Meanwhile, while Bloody Schilling rests in his dugout sarcophagus between innings, scratching copious notes about the opposing Angels onto the wood of his coffin lid with a rusty nail, the mighty Sox will send to the plate the man with the most mojo, the dazzling JD Drew, riding a 9 GAME HITTING STREAK! GO DREW!

Ok, Let's get it on! The streak starts here!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

And we're off! First pitch pop-out.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Hello? HELLO?


*ECHO - echo - echo - cho - o - o - o .........

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Beautiful start,1-2-3 for bloody Schilling, with a K of Vladdy.

Who are you talking to, man? I think you are going nuts.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

oh, hush.

[oldskool138]

Sorry I'm tardy to the party!

Wow, Hinske's having a good day. Too bad Manny Ortez isn't on track. :)

My friends Tressy and Richard are at the game today so their mojo will be working today!

[oldskool138]

Wow, all the runs are scored on miscues from the Angels...Good for us.

[oldskool138]

EToE has lost his mind.

*whispers* You get a butterfly net. I'll call the men in the white coats.

[#1Patsfan_chica]

I just got home from work.

How did the offense score the runs?

[oldskool138]

Bases loaded error in the outfield on a Tek line drive. And a passed ball with 'Droia on third. The Sox haven't scored an earned run. :)

It's catch-as-catch-can.

Thanks oldskool. It looks like Curt has pitched well which it's good to see.

Yup, he's given up some base hits but that's it. He's in control.

Hinske's having a great day 2-3 in the 2 spot Youk has a day off.

[oldskool138]

SB for Lugo! Nice to have an SB threat at #1! Sweet.

Papi with a RBI single!!! 4-0 Sox!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

I love the Big Papi. That was a good hit.

[oldskool138]

I love the Big Papi. That was a good hit.

Once the weather warms up, the HR's will come. That was in his wheel-house but his timing is slightly off.

Manny!!! With the RBI single! Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Manny Ortez is ready to break out..

[#1Patsfan_chica]

RBI for Manny. Back-to-back RBIs for the big hitters.

I can't wait for those 2 guys to heat up because the bottom of the lineup ain't doing anything.

'Droia isn't doing too bad. Coco will be replaced by Wily Mo next week. Tek? Well, we need him for defense and pitch-calling. The bottom of the order is weak but it's still early.

[oldskool138]

Great outing by Schil! 7 innings, 0 runs, 4 hits, 4 K's. Our ace is back! :icon_supe

Oh, nevermind. He's out for the 8th. Cool!

That is pretty good. I hope he stays on track and also the other starters.

[sportman3333333]

Just arrived from outside and yay, the game is on fox.

I can watch the game, sweet

It really quiet in here.

[oldskool138]

Man, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's (worst name for a team EVER!) bullpen is getting worn down. That's Theo's OBP/OPS machine at work!

Yeah EToE bailed early on...I had some errands to run so I didn't show up 'til the third inning.

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Wow!!! David Ortiz.

[oldskool138]

3 Run HR!!!! BIG PAPI!!!!!! Woo-Hooo!!!!!:icon_supe

[sportman3333333]

[oldskool138]

And here comes Wily Mo! Or should I say Pedro Cerrano :)

[sportman3333333]

Let Curt pitch the 9th :D

[sportman3333333]

[Mikiemo83]

wonder if any other old teamates need to be hit

[sportman3333333]

2 out in a ease

[sportman3333333]

Ah- come on Lugo

[sportman3333333]

Ballgame

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Finally, game over. That was a good start by Curt and the offense picked up in the later innings.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Hooray, some people did come to my party!

Nice win, I'm a bit disappointed Curt didn't finish it out, tho.

[oldskool138]

Game over! Schill dominated! Papi and Hinske lead the way. See you tomorrow! EToE starts tomorrow's thread.

[SamBam39]

I like this Schilling a lot more than the guy who pitched against KC. Looks like he is really working the change up. Hope he can keep it going. Still have to do something with the bottom of the line up. It is death valley.

[JD10367]

Jeez, halfway through yesterday's game I was getting ready to rip into the Sox for a lack of hitting, and then they actually scored a few, LOL. (Even though 3 of the runs were gifts).

Aside from Daisuke's loss to the 1-hitter, the Sox have scored a ton of runs in their other three home games. That bodes well... especially since half of the Dynamic Duo has yet to show up and start homering.

Side note: I was in the Fenway area yesterday, because the wife and I took the commuter rail up from Rhode Island and did a whale watch, and then took the T out one stop past Kenmore to Saint Mary's on the "C" line for lunch (at Chef Chang's, the best Chinese food on the planet). Unfortunately for us, the time we were taking the T out past Kenmore happened to be between 2:45pm and 3:15pm--smack in the middle of the big rush. We were squashed onto a train with most of the other passengers wearing Sox paraphernalia. When the train got to Kenmore, it disgorged nearly all of the train's occupants, LOL.

Manny is a hot weather hitter. He will come around. The top looks solid. Francona is going to have to play around with the bottom. If WMP or Hinske can do anything it will help. The bottom 3 are leaving a bunch of guys on base so far.

[Bases Loaded]

I just found out that this was the game where Tito took J.D. out and Pinch Hit Wily Mo ... Drew was 0-3 at the time and his hitting streak ended. When it was brought up after the game, Tito said he hadn't even thought about it, but JD didn't seem to mind because he didn't say anything to him.
