<TD>Schilling has shown that he is a different pitcher this season. He has taken a little off his fastball to spot it better, and has effectively worked the changeup to upgrade his repitoire. This 40 year old is still the Ace of our young staff and he is a winner. Good news too - after a bad start, he always has a great one. Get ready for this one guys and gals.<BR><BR><i>If anyone doesn't know by now, Curt keeps a blog and posts one after every start - check out 38pitches (http://www.38pitches.com/) later tonight for it.</i></TD>
<TD> </TD>
<TD>The Sox have faced Cabrera a number of times (1-6, 9.27 ERA against the Sox), and there are a lot of familiar faces that he will be seeing. This notoriously wild pitcher will have to be on his A game to have a chance to beat Schill and the Sox today. Our lineup is full of patient hitters who work the count and I don't think he has the mojo that is necessary in this case. </TD>

GOOD LUCK SOX! - ENJOY THE GAME!

[southcarolina]

Again, i will be working, so yall will have to hold down the fort without me. Cabrera is a headcase. Electric stuff but a headcase. Rattle him early and score at will.

[Bases Loaded]

You know we will! This ones for you SC!

[Undertaker #59]

Man...sorry for the OT, but I love how this version of VB handles formatting of html.

[Bases Loaded]

Yeah me too, I've never seen it on any other board. It's terriffic ... when I go to edit the post the HTML is still there! Not only that but I can mix vB code with HTML. That is cool.

[SamBam39]

yeah, what you guys said!! :rolleyes:

[Bases Loaded]

yeah, what you guys said!! :rolleyes:

Old man :P :icon_syda

[3 Point Stan]

What's the over/under on Cabrera's walk total tonight? I am setting the line at 6. Any takers?

I'll take the under!

[SamBam39]

Old man :P :icon_syda
You ain't just whistling Dixie my friend!!!!:)

[oldskool138]

You ain't just whistling Dixie my friend!!!!:)

I bet SC is though!

:D

[SamBam39]

I bet SC is though!

:D
Well you do have a point. :)

[Bases Loaded]

All I know is that Daniel Cabrera doesn't stand a god-damned chance against our lineup. We are built to be patient and work the count - and when teams do that Cabrera has no chance.

I'll take the over on 6 walks.

[Fully Tilted]

Not to drag any MoJo down but Cabrera has been far better with the walks this year. His K/BB ratio is 26/7 for this year, or 3.71 K's to every BB.

Last season it was 157/104 or 1.51 K's to every BB.

We very well may see a different pitcher tonight. And make NO mistake, this guy has some of the best "stuff" in the game when he controls it all.

Our key to success at the plate is always going to be: work deep counts, get the SP out early and go to work on the bullpen. Hopefully we can do the same tonight.

We need Schill to step up a little tonight and give us a quality start.

[southcarolina]

I bet SC is though!

:D


Im not whistling Dixie, but my doorbell does play it :)

[Bases Loaded]

Oh, believe me Fully Tilted, I know all about that - he's on one of my Fantasy teams - benched of course. I don't think he will be able to put up those kind of numbers against our lineup.

Our key to success at the plate is always going to be: work deep counts, get the SP out early and go to work on the bullpen.

This is why I think we got his number. That is his kryptonite.

If Schilling does his job and keeps us in the game, I like our chances. I'm so glad to be down with Toronto for now. I seriously hate playing them. They handles us pretty well every year and it's frustrating because they usually get rolled when they play the NYY.

[sportman3333333]

Weeeeeeee, I cant wait for tonites game. Disappointing start to the week. :(

[The Gooch]

What's the over/under on Cabrera's walk total tonight? I am setting the line at 6. Any takers?
Which inning? I think he exceeded 6 just in the 1st last April.

It's a pity to waste Schilling on this stiff.

[3 Point Stan]

Well it looks like he's coming around. In his 4 starts, he's walked 2, 1, 0 & 4. In the 0 walk game, he threw 7 2/3 innings against Detroit. Not too shabby. But then again, Detroit's not exactly going to work the pitch count to death.

Raining in CT what's it doing in Boston? They playing this game?

[oldskool138]

Raining in CT what's it doing in Boston? They playing this game?

It's drizzling here but I don't think that will effect the weather in Baltimore. :D

[SamBam39]

How dumb am I. I completely forgot the game was in in Baltimore!!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

It's time for the Red Sox to stop this losing streak.

[Bases Loaded]

In EIGHT games against the red sox, Cabrera has a 9.27 ERA.

[oldskool138]

The Sox need to play their game. Wait out Cabrerra. He's not effectively wild. He's just wild.

[oldskool138]

Youkie, dodges the tag. Nice throw Miggie! :)

[SamBam39]

Ugly but I'll take it. Lets give 38 some runs!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

So we get a gift and then get robbed.....sigh

[SamBam39]

That sucked!!!

Come on Manny!!!

[oldskool138]

Ugly but I'll take it. Lets give 38 some runs!!!!

The O's are playing "D" like the Sox did last night. :icon_eyes

[SamBam39]

Let's play some D guys.

[Fully Tilted]

Nasty pitch on the outside. I jumped in late but I haven't seen Cabrera's 98 mph FB that he used to throw all over the place. If he's dialed it down to get control of it, to say 95-96, that could be why he's walking less hitters this year.

[JD10367]

Been sulking after the two-game skid to Toronto (who seems to have the Sox's number). However, I just got cheered up by realizing the Yankees are in last place in the division, LOL, so I thought I'd join the game thread. I'm in work, AGAIN, "watching" the GameCast. :mad:

[Fully Tilted]

Goodness, they scored Youk's AB a hit?? They don't want to give an error to Tejada I guess. It looked like a bad play to me.

[SamBam39]

Yikes that was hit well. Nice play by WMP!

[oldskool138]

Hey, Schilling cut his mullet! I hope it doesn't have a Samson effect on him. :blink:

[SamBam39]

Yankees don't lose tonight.



Rained out vs. Toronto

[SamBam39]

2 outs!!!!

[SamBam39]

So Petite will be pushed to Fri vs the Sox.

[SamBam39]

Catcher interference on Tek!!!!

[oldskool138]

Interference by V'Tek???? :confused:

Wow! I've never seen him do that. Well, it's better than a double (I guess).

[sportman3333333]

Catcher interference on Tek!!!!

Wat happened there?

[Fully Tilted]

Interference by V'Tek???? :confused:

Wow! I've never seen him do that. Well, it's better than a double (I guess).

I think that's the second time it's happened this year actually.

[oldskool138]

Wat happened there?

Miggie hit Tek's glove during the swing.

Thats interference :rolleyes:

[oldskool138]

I think that's the second time it's happened this year actually.

Really? What game? I've watched almost all of them.

[SamBam39]

So the interference doesn't hurt them. On to the top of the 2nd!

[Fully Tilted]

Really? What game? I've watched almost all of them.


I honestly can't recall what game but I'm almost positive it's happened this year already. It could have even been Dougie, I'm not sure. Let me see if I can dig it up.

[sportman3333333]

Three out. WMP yet to make a error, miraculous.

[Fully Tilted]

Really? What game? I've watched almost all of them.


It may have been a this ST game against the Reds but I thought it happened in the regular season.

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070326&content_id=1860152&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos

"The second inning was even more of a struggle, with Matsuzaka needing 26 pitches to get through the inning. A catcher's interference call on Varitek -- which could have been the third out of the inning -- prolonged things. Still, Matsuzaka stranded two runners by getting Bobby Livingston on a grounder to short."

[SamBam39]

That was quick!!!! :(

Interesting. I wonder why Tek is putting his glove way out there? Well it's okay as long as it doesn't happen again.

[SamBam39]

Let's go Curt!!

[SamBam39]

Patterson steals second

[SamBam39]

On to the top of the third. Let's get some runs!!!

[oldskool138]

On to the top of the third. Let's get some runs!!!

Yeah but WMP is up. :(

K'ed looking. Nice! :rolleyes:

[Fully Tilted]

Interesting. I wonder why Tek is putting his glove way out there? Well it's okay as long as it doesn't happen again.

According to the stats he has an error on him this year, I don't know if that's a CI or not though. That's all I could find really.

No harm-No foul though.

[sportman3333333]

Lets get this rollin'

[SamBam39]

Let's go Willie Mendoza Pena!!!!

[sportman3333333]

There the kman

[SamBam39]

What a surprise breaking ball has him looking. 1 out.

[SamBam39]

When is Coco Eggshell Crisp due back?

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Yea, Alex Cora!!!

[oldskool138]

Alex SCORE-A!!! First HR of the year!

[sportman3333333]

My man cora!

[SamBam39]

Alex Cora!!!!! HOMERUN

[Fully Tilted]

Cora!!!!

[oldskool138]

When is Coco Eggshell Crisp due back?

Remy says he's day-to-day but might land on the DL.

[PatsDVD]

When is Coco Eggshell Crisp due back?

Maybe Alex Cora play centerfield??

[SamBam39]

What the hell is that?????

[oldskool138]

Those umps are crooked as hell!

Wow!

[Bases Loaded]

God I really wanted to hit that umpire in the face - I think I was just as pissed as Tito! That is RIDICULOUS and that ump obviously has something against Lugo. That is NOT an excuse and that ump should be fired from Major league baseball.

Really that was terrible - he hadn't even stepped in for the second pitch! WTF!

[SamBam39]

BS call by the umpire!!!

[Fully Tilted]

I missed it--what happened??

[oldskool138]

Yooooook! With the two bagger!

[sportman3333333]

BS call by the umpire!!!

Wat happened? replay shows otherwise?

[SamBam39]

YOOOOOOOOOOOUUKS Youks with a double.


Let's go Papi bring him in.

[sportman3333333]

Yooooook! With the two bagger!

That call might us have costen one run.

[PatsDVD]

Now the ump is making kick saves for the O's !!!

[oldskool138]

I missed it--what happened??

Lugo stepped out of the box and Cabrerra threw the ball without time being called. Strike one.

Then, Lugo never re-entered the box and Cabrerra threw again for strike two. Tito got pissed but didn't get tossed.

It was utter BS! :mad:

[sportman3333333]

Wild Pitch, youk to 3rd, 1-1 count

[Fully Tilted]

Can someone gimem a run down of what happened? How did the umps cost us a run?

Cabrera looks like a different pitcher from the stretch.

[SamBam39]

Youks to 3rd on the ball in the dirt!!

[sportman3333333]

Ortiz walks, man on 1st and 3rd, 1 out

[SamBam39]

Papi walks. men at the corners 2 outs

[oldskool138]

Can someone gimem a run down of what happened? How did the umps cost us a run?

Cabrera looks like a different pitcher from the stretch.

They didn't cost us a run. It was just that Lugo got two strikes thrown against him without being in the batters box.

[SamBam39]

Thanks Manny!

[sportman3333333]

Manny is sucking big time!

[PatsDVD]

Can someone gimem a run down of what happened? How did the umps cost us a run?

Only way he cost us a run if you assume that Lugo would have got on base. He might have if he actually had a chance to hit. :mad:

[Fully Tilted]

They didn't cost us a run. It was just that Lugo got two strikes thrown against him without being in the batters box.


Did he try and call time twice or something?

[oldskool138]

I posted this earlier:

Then, Lugo never re-entered the box and Cabrerra threw again for strike two. Tito got pissed but didn't get tossed.

It was utter BS! :mad:

Lugo didn't call time the first time but did the second (I think)

[oldskool138]

Nice inning by Schill.

[Bases Loaded]

Did he try and call time twice or something?

The first time he thought he called time, and the ump didn;t give it to him. He then argued with the ump for a while, out of the box. While he was warming up to get back in the box, Cabrera threw again and the ump called a strike. Lugo never re-entered the batters box.

GOD that makes me angry. I'm sending a letter to the MLB and I encourage all of you to do so as well.

Thanks for repeating yourself. I guess not only did I miss the incident itself but your explanation the first time around.

That's ridiculous.

Thanks man, that's ridiculous.

[oldskool138]

gods protect us! It's WMP...:(

I'm going to start call him WiMP.

Another K for WiMP!

[Bases Loaded]

This is why Wily can't DH - he can't hit a breaking ball. I said in earlier posts that pitchers will learn and adapt to this - point in case right here. He did not see one fastball in both ABs, I dont think.

EDIT: I suppose if he cant DH then he can't do anything. God damnit. Why Theo, WHY?!

[Fully Tilted]

At least he made him earn it that time. If he's gonna strike out in every AB on a breaking ball, at least work the count.

Sad that I have such low expectations of him now.

WiMP's been in the Majors for a long-ish time now you figure a batting coach would have pulled him aside and taught him how to hit a breaking pitch.

Maybe WiMP is unteachable? That must be it. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

[Bases Loaded]

NICE barehanded play by Lugo

[Fully Tilted]

Hell of a play by Lugo!!!!

K-urt Schill!

K's Millar!

[SamBam39]

Millar K's and on on to the top of the 5th.

[oldskool138]

http://www.sportshollywood.com/images/cerrano.jpg

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/jobu2.jpg

[Bases Loaded]

Schill got Millar on the curve! Haha, if you read Curts blog from ST, he joked about how Millar said he could hit any of Schillings breaking balls. In a ST game, Schill threw him nothing BUT curves in 1 AB. Millar was laughing and Schill had to try not to. Funny stuff.

Or maybe that was a split. Looked more like a splitter.

[oldskool138]

Alex Score-a 2-2 on the night. Nice!

[Bases Loaded]

Check this quote, gimme some rep for this lol:

Pedro Cerrano: Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.
Eddie Harris: You know you might think about taking Jesus Christ as your savior instead of fooling around with all this stuff.
Roger Dorn: Shit, Harris.
Pedro Cerrano: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.
Eddie Harris: You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

[SamBam39]

Cora on to lead off the 5th!

[SamBam39]

That was short lived. Thanks Julio at least you got in the batters box this time.

[sportman3333333]

2 outs so far in bottom of inning

[SamBam39]

Let's go Schill!!!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

5 straight balls for Schilling--very uncharacteristic of him.

[oldskool138]

Starting to rain a bit in Baltimore. Maybe the Sox can get rain-shortened win?

[sportman3333333]

Gameday is ****ing slow

[oldskool138]

KK-urt Schill!

[sportman3333333]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK for Schill and onto the top of the inning

[Fully Tilted]

Way to attack Schill!!!

Anyone know his pitch count so far? This game is flying right now.

[Bases Loaded]

Game is ****ing slow

That's baseball, buddy.

[Fully Tilted]

Nevermind.....63 pitches through 5.

[Fully Tilted]

Cabrera was up to 80 through 5. That's a good thing people!

[sportman3333333]

That's baseball, buddy.

hehe, I was supposed to write gameDAY. I fixed it write after writing of the post.

[sportman3333333]

And David Ortiz leads of the inning with a walk.

and manny kills it AGAIN

[oldskool138]

Cabrera was up to 80 through 5. That's a good thing people!

Yup, Cabrerra has:

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/nocontrol.jpg

[sportman3333333]

Drew walks. Men on 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

I cant wait till this weekend when I get NESN. I hate gameday. :K

[Fully Tilted]

Well, up until the inning he kept it under wraps with only one walk but now he's walked Ortiz and Drew. He gets deep into counts and either strikes you out or walks you.

Great AB for Drew there.

[Fully Tilted]

Pitch count is at 91---he's on the ropes---keep 'em there.

[3 Point Stan]

What are we up to, 3 walks for Cabrera?

[SamBam39]

Let's get some insurance runs!!!

[Fully Tilted]

What are we up to, 3 walks for Cabrera?


Yup.....

nice hustle by Lowell to beat the throw. The last thing we want to do is give him 2 quick outs.

[SamBam39]

V-TEK Let's get a hit!!!!!!

[sportman3333333]

It over, he ends it with a K

[SamBam39]

Thanks for nothing Jason!!

[Fully Tilted]

101 pitches via 6 innings. If he comes back out to start the 7th, it'll be his last.

[oldskool138]

The ball was barely out of the pitchers hand when he swung. Tek was so early on that. :blink:

[Bases Loaded]

On Deck for the Sox next inning: Cerraro

[Fully Tilted]

Saw the replay-THAT'S A SWING!!!

[oldskool138]

On Deck for the Sox next inning: Cerraro

Hey lay off WiMP! He's a Superstar!

[sportman3333333]

[SamBam39]

Great now we are tied. What the .......................

[sportman3333333]

Very bad location on the pitch.

[Fully Tilted]

Schilling hans a breaking ball and Tejada does what he does and puts it in the seats.

1-1...sigh

[Bases Loaded]

Time to turn up the MOJO METER!

click ... click .. click . ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip

K # 3 for Big Schill

[oldskool138]

KKK-urt Schil!

[SamBam39]

Well the good news is that Willie Mays Pena is leading off!



........or maybe that is the bad news! :(

[sportman3333333]

lets get some runs

Some pinch hit for WMP

[Fully Tilted]

C'mon offense, pick him up.

[oldskool138]

WiMPy is up! Great! :( :icon_hang

[Bases Loaded]

uh oh its WMP

Maybe he finds his mojo

[Bases Loaded]

"Wily get walk! ARGHGHGH!"

[sportman3333333]

He earns a walk

Rameriz and WMP has the lowest batting averages

[oldskool138]

WiMP took a BB???? I'm shocked. :eek:

[SamBam39]

There is a god. WMP gets a walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will wonders never cease.

Looks like this might be it for Cabrera. Nope he will pitch to Cora

[pookie]

Holy dog stuff; Pena reached base. Now the mighty Alex Cora.:)

[Fully Tilted]

My MoJo creator was to rock back and forth in my seat Leo Mazzone-style to jinx his pitcher and it worked. He walked Pena!!!! The "Unwalkable".

Quick everyone start rocking back and forth in your seat!

[SamBam39]

Cora sacrifices WMP to second!!!! 1 out man on second and Lugo up!

[oldskool138]

Quick everyone start rocking back and forth in your seat!

LOL!

[SamBam39]

I'm rockin'

[Bases Loaded]

Lugo sucks.

Lol, just kidding. It's STILL APRIL, gotta remember that ...

[SamBam39]

That didn't work. Come on YOUKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bases Loaded]

I'm rockin too now

But thats cause its a good chair to rock in anyways

[SamBam39]

112 pitches for Cabrera!

[sportman3333333]

And walk to Youk.

Drill it PAPI

[oldskool138]

The Greek God of Walks does what he does best. C'mon Papi!!!! Let's win this thing!

[JD10367]

Cora sacrifices WMP to second!!!! 1 out man on second and Lugo up!

Okay, I'm only watching on GameCast, but... Can someone explain to me why Cora is sacrificing? He's had a hot bat, and Cabrera was well over 100 pitches. WHY IS HE SACRIFICING?!? :mad:

[Bases Loaded]

That commercial, with the guy in the underwear - he does another one and it was just on. Thats hilarious. Hes still in his boxers.

[Bases Loaded]

Okay, I'm only watching on GameCast, but... Can someone explain to me why Cora is sacrificing? He's had a hot bat, and Cabrera was well over 100 pitches. WHY IS HE SACRIFICING?!? :mad:

JD, at some point, the sox need to play smallball - and you can't BANK on Cora NOT grounding into a DP. He is our best bunter on the team. Good time for it.

[Fully Tilted]

Keep ROCKIN'

Two on for Ortiz....

Rock the Rock

[SamBam39]

papi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Let's go PAPI!!!!!

[sportman3333333]

10 pitch at bat

[Bases Loaded]

YEA PAPI! Thats how its done!

11 pitch AB then the RBI! NICE!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Good job David.

[oldskool138]

Tough AB but Ortiz gets the go-ahead run!!!!!!!!

Way to go Papi!!!

[sportman3333333]

Papiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiii

Big HIT for BIG PAPI!!!!!!! http://www.patriotsplanet.com/BB/images/smilies/RedSox32.GIF:icon_pray :icon_supe

[Fully Tilted]

Respect The Rock!!!!!!!

2-1

[SamBam39]

Manny ought to end the inning!!!!

[sportman3333333]

Manny ought to end the inning!!!!

I am predicting he will hit A HR

[oldskool138]

Shouldn't it be Papi Grande? :D

[SamBam39]

I am predicting he will hit A HR
I like your prediction better!

[Bases Loaded]

manny! Manny!

[oldskool138]

Manny!!!!!! RBI Single! Nice!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Yea, Manny!!!

[SamBam39]

Alright Manny!!!!

[Bases Loaded]

Shouldn't it be Papi Grande? :D

Si, en espanol.

[pookie]

Manny Ortiz gets it done too!!!

[sportman3333333]

Crap, atleast it was a single. I was closer to the guess.

[SamBam39]

DROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

[The Gooch]

The radio guys have been talking about how much money the O's put into their bullpen this year.

Good thing, otherwise they might blow leads.

[Bases Loaded]

I want to see a squeeze play with Papi on third and watch him barrel into the catcher.

[Bases Loaded]

DROOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW


HAHA, thats what I like to hear!

And a walk!

BASES .... ARE ... LOADED ... for Lowell!

[sportman3333333]

When Lugo stepped out of the box in the third inning (eventually grounding out to second base, it came under rule 6.02 (b).
"The batter shall not leave his position in the batter's box after the pitcher comes to Set Position, or starts his windup.
"PENALTY: If the pitcher pitches, the umpire shall call 'Ball' or 'Strike,' as the case may be."


This reffering to that BS Call

[oldskool138]

Bases loaded! Lots of play for Mr. Gray! C'mon Mikey!

[SamBam39]

Bases jacked for Lowell. Let's go Mike!!!!

[sportman3333333]

Lets hit a GS Lowell

[Bases Loaded]

Oh my god we are SICK!

[SamBam39]

I LIKE MIKE!!!!!!

[oldskool138]

Lowell with the BB RBI! Nice!

4-1 Sox!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

That was good of Lowell to get the bases loaded walk.

[sportman3333333]

Lowell walks to get in a run. 4-1 sox

[Fully Tilted]

Yeah baby!!!! 4-1

[SamBam39]

...and up comes the rally killer!!!

He was never in the box when the pitcher was set the second time.

I dont care WHAT the rulebook says (in this case its wrong anyway), that was a complete bullshit call and that ump needs to be fired.

Remy just said "It's like flushing $41 million down the toilet . . . " :D

[Bases Loaded]

V-Tek ... NO MOJO?!

I just pasted that from Globe. Dont shout at me guys. :D

Anyway, the 2nd strike was BS

[SamBam39]

and thus ends the rally. Thanks again Cap. Way to lead.

[Fully Tilted]

Great inning to pick up some runs for Schilling. I'm taking partial credit for "out-rocking" Mazzone. :D

[PatsDVD]

...and up comes the rally killer!!!

But he calls such a great game . . . :rolleyes:

True. The first one...Okay maybe.

The second one, Lugo never re-entered the box so the play doesn't start until he does, correct?

[Bases Loaded]

True. The first one...Okay maybe.

The second one, Lugo never re-entered the box so the play doesn't start until he does, correct?

Correct. According to everyone except the home plate ump.

**** him. Im still pissed about that.

[sportman3333333]

Yea, I disagree with that 2nd strike. I may believe the 1st one though.

This will all be forgetten once we get the win

[Bases Loaded]

And Lowell is SICK WIT IT with the leather.

[sportman3333333]

1 pitch out to patterson

2 outs.

very effective!

[sportman3333333]

Uh oh, man on 1st and 2nd, back to back hits.

[#1Patsfan_chica]

That was a long out.

[PatsDVD]

YIKES. . . that was close :blink:

[Bases Loaded]

WOW that was scary ... I thought Okie was coming in for sure.

But hes out. 7 innings, 1 run. Told you guys he would come back with a great start.

[oldskool138]

Wow, that was close but Schill gets out of it. Oki in the 8th Paps in the 9th?

[Fully Tilted]

I thought that was gone. He left that one up in the zone and got lucky.

[sportman3333333]

Inning over, I would like to curt in the 8th, and paps in the 9th if plan goes well.

[SamBam39]

Don't let this game get away from you Schilling. Oh that was d@mn lucky. He better be done. Bring in Oki to pitch the eighth

[Bases Loaded]

Wow, that was close but Schill gets out of it. Oki in the 8th Paps in the 9th?

Unless we light up their bullpen for some more runs. Then we see Piniero and Romero.

[oldskool138]

I thought that was gone. He left that one up in the zone and got lucky.

He knew it too by the look on his face as he walked to the dugout. Lucky that wind is blowing in.

[pookie]

Listening to this game on MLB Gameday audio, they made it sound certain that Roberts had just hit a 3 run HR.... then caught. Good grief.

[Bases Loaded]

That is crazy talk homie. He can't pitch the 8th.

[sportman3333333]

Uhoh, WMP will lead off again.

[Bases Loaded]

Jake Taylor: [Jake stands up] Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.
Roger Dorn: What's that?
Jake Taylor: Win the whole ****ing thing.
[long pause]
Willie Mays Hayes: [Willie stands up] Yeah.
Wily Mo: [Wily pounds his hand] YES!

[sportman3333333]

That is crazy talk homie. He can't pitch the 8th.

He has been effective for most off the day expect for the last out of the last inning. He only has 90 pitches.

[Fully Tilted]

It's sounding like the wind blew it down. The ball was crushed--no question.

[SamBam39]

WMP back to reality!!!

[oldskool138]

Oki's up in the 'pen!

[sportman3333333]

1-2-3 inning for their pen.

[SamBam39]

So do we see Oki???? or the Curt Schilling long ball experience once again. He's at 90 pitches. I say he's done.

[Bases Loaded]

He has been effective for most off the day expect for the last out of the last inning. He only has 90 pitches.

Never the less, ending the inning like that is no merit to pitch the 8th. And our bullpen needs some work. Tito wants to get a good read on all of his pitchers so he can decide who to use when, and which to remove when Lester comes back.

Okay okay, I am wrong. Oki is in

I have been wrong bout everything today. Bad Day.

[Bases Loaded]

Okies got some NASTY stuff.

[The Gooch]

I would prefer Schill taking the 8th and KO getting the save. We may need Lil' Papi a lot in the next series...

[Bases Loaded]

Lol, everyone has their slumps.

[oldskool138]

O-K-ajima!!!!

Markakis!

[sportman3333333]

oKKKKajima

[sportman3333333]

2 Down, 1 more OKI!

[Bases Loaded]

I say we put Pap back in the rotation and let Okajima close it out!

Just kidding. I love having Pap close.

[oldskool138]

O-KK-ajima!!!!!

"Hillary" Huff!

[sportman3333333]

Why does it say automatic ball on gameday?

[PatsDVD]

Those were unhittable pitches . . .

[SamBam39]

Top of the ninth let's put up some more.

Please sir I want some more!!!!!!!
