Boston @ Minny, Tavarez vs. Santana, May 5

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Ok, well, there's not a whole lot to say about this game, so we'll just cut right to the chase. The strategy for today is to give http://striketwo.net/mlb/player/hs_123118.jpg enough http://www.lynnpolice.org/images/marijuana_-seeds-and_joint.jpg that he forgets to show up at the ballpark.

Every dog has his day, we'll hang our hopes on the offense for this one. A little Ortiz mojo could go a long way, so here goes:

Tavarez is going to need all the mojo he get against Santana...

[oldskool138]

[sportman3333333]

[oldskool138]

Fun Fact: Minnesota means reflection of the sky (in the water) in American Indian.

[sportman3333333]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! Drew's back

[SamBam39]

S-Cora sitting and DP in the game tonight. Covelli taking a seat as well WM Cerrano in center.

[oldskool138]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! Drew's back

JD Flu? :rolleyes:

[sportman3333333]

Youk singles, 1 out. Papi up

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Calm down David.

[oldskool138]

LOL!!!! David Ortiz just said "That's horse-sh!t" on TV!!! Nice!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Hello everyone. The flower mojo was well appreciated, but it was really supposed to be "Big Poppy" mojo

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Drew should've driven that pitch

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Wow, back to back BB's! Maybe it's Santana that smoked a doobie before the game. Let's jump on him now!

[oldskool138]

Bases Loaded for Mr. Gray! Hit one of those patented doubles!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

God that's getting old. :mad:

Edit: tho in all fairness, it was a great defensive play.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Awesome, so far Tavarez > Santana

[sportman3333333]

Tavarez looks better than Santana through 1!

30-11 pitch count.

[oldskool138]

Great...Wily Mo Cerrano....:icon_hang

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

There, Pedey got a hit of Santana. Good enough for me. :)

[SamBam39]

Great...Wily Mo Cerrano....:icon_hang
He's Mr All-or-Nothing. He'll have another chance.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Unlucky double play. Dude, Santana is not looking sharp, but he is getting all the luck so far!

[oldskool138]

Unlucky double play. Dude, Santana is not looking sharp, but he is getting all the luck so far!

True, he's throwing a ton of pitches through 2. If I'm Tito, I'm telling my team to be patient at the plate.

[SamBam39]

Way to go Jul-E-o

[sportman3333333]

Unlucky double play. Dude, Santana is not looking sharp, but he is getting all the luck so far!

This shoudnt be a 0-0 game right now

[SamBam39]

41 pitches for Santana so far. Sox need to stay patient and work the count and get into the bullpen!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

*sigh* Queue circus music for Pena

[oldskool138]

*sigh* Queue circus music for Pena

More like "Pinball Wizard" :rolleyes:

[SamBam39]

Explain again. Exactly why is Willie Mo in the game ?

[Bases Loaded]

For his excellent fielding skills

[JD10367]

Because he has pics of Francona in a thong being whipped, LOL?

[SamBam39]

Stay with him...dude!!!

[SamBam39]

Because he has pics of Francona in a thong being whipped, LOL?
That I believe!!!:blink:

[SamBam39]

Need a double play here

[oldskool138]

Explain again. Exactly why is Willie Mo in the game ?

Covelli has a stiff neck so he's out of the line-up.

1-0 Twins...

[SamBam39]

well that can't be good!!!

[SamBam39]

Too many diving catches by Covelli!!!

[oldskool138]

No play for Mr. Gray...

2-0 Twins...Mike Lowell forgot how to play "D" over the winter. Great...

[SamBam39]

This is not good either. We have a problem!!!!

[SamBam39]

No play for Mr. Gray...

2-0 Twins...Mike Lowell forgot how to play "D" over the winter. Great...
Yes that is very disturbing. I don't know what happened to him.

[SamBam39]

Come on Julie get this guy out and get out of the inning!!!

[SamBam39]

2-0 bad guys on to the third

[SamBam39]

Be patient work the count make this guy throw a lot of pitches

[SamBam39]

Way to keep the inning alive Manny

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Ok, WTF was that? He did his little "Home Run" saunter on a low liner

[SamBam39]

JD first pitch swinging. Great!!

[SamBam39]

Ok, WTF was that? He did his little "Home Run" saunter on a low liner
Just Manny being Manny!!!!

[southcarolina]

Ok, WTF was that? He did his little "Home Run" saunter on a low liner



I say we trade him right now. He's killing this team.

[vito babe]

Maybe Manny's bored. What the hell, he gets paid a gazillion dollars a year regardless of what he does. Howsomever, gotta have his bat in there.

[southcarolina]

Way to come back Julian. Nice Inning. Now get those bats going.

[SamBam39]

Ya better hit if you're not gonna field Gray man

[oldskool138]

Good lord! Does Punto do anything else than guard the line? Jeez!

[SamBam39]

Anything anyone hello!!!

[oldskool138]

Santana can't find the plate...Too bad Tito is playing 'Droia tonight. :(

EDIT: I posted this before the GRD. Barely a hit.

2-1 Twins.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Don't look now, but little Pedey is 2-2 off Santana with a RBI

[oldskool138]

Good job Jul-E-o. Santana's on the ropes and the Sox can't capitalize. Frustrating and sloooow game.

[SamBam39]

Dustin Pedroia sucks they should bench him

[vito babe]

I wanted to keep Alex Gonzalez, who by the way is doing great for the Reds. Theo gets a bug up his ass about certain players and he gets rid of them no matter.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

I wanted to keep Alex Gonzalez, who by the way is doing great for the Reds. Theo gets a bug up his ass about certain players and he gets rid of them no matter.

And I think we should've never let OC go, but oh well...

[vito babe]

Yes, him too. But, Theo helped us break the drought, shouldn't complain.

[SamBam39]

Should have kept Ocab but Gonzo was good too.

[SamBam39]

Let's see if Manny can be Manny and hit the ball

[SamBam39]

Sweet mother of jesus a double!!!

[TITAN126]

Manny was Manny and got a double. :D

Let's get the run across now...

[SamBam39]

drew can't hit this guy tonight

[TITAN126]

Damn wtf...oh well.

[oldskool138]

Here's a picture of the shortstop position for the Red Sox over the last couple of years:

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

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Drew has been slumping a bit lately. Hope that shoulder's not buggin him!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Here's a picture of the shortstop position for the Red Sox over the last couple of years:

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

No, that shortstop wouldn't make as many errors as the one we have.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Sweet, Santana is done! 99 pitches thru 5. This is as good as we could have hoped, really.

[SamBam39]

Hold em Julian!!!! Santana at 98 pitches

[SamBam39]

Nice inning Julian. Need another run let's go!!!

[SamBam39]

Matt Guerrier in for Santana. Time to make some noise!!!!!

[SamBam39]

MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Geez Lowell first pitch swinging on a new pitcher and an out. Not smart!!!!

[oldskool138]

I'll make some noise if Cerrano does something here.

[SamBam39]

Alright Cap'n. Let's get him in!!!!! Maybe Lowell should have looked at a couple more pitches.

[SamBam39]

Work the mojo WM Cerrano!!!!!

[oldskool138]

Wow! Cerrano strikes out on a low breaking ball. I'm shocked. Shocked! He never swings and misses those....

God he sucks!!!

SB for Tek!

[SamBam39]

Willie Mo what happenedBats, 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.

[oldskool138]

Willie Mo what happened

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

[SamBam39]

Come on DP

[oldskool138]

Come on DP

'Droia can't hit into a DP with 2 outs....Oh! You mean his initials. How appropriate.

A BB for DP

[SamBam39]

DP works the walk. Men on 1st and 2nd 2 outs.

[SamBam39]

'Droia can't hit into a DP with 2 outs....Oh! You mean his initials. How appropriate.

A BB for DP
Come on man give me a little credit!!!:blink: :)

[SamBam39]

Me and Jul-E-o need to get a hit!!!

[oldskool138]

Come on man give me a little credit!!!:blink: :)

I was kidding...I just think that it's funny that his initials are "DP".

Jul-E-o Lugo...*sigh*

9 men left on base.:icon_hang

[SamBam39]

Thanks for nothing!!! Jul-E-o

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Dear God, Julio, could you have made that look any worse?

I have an idea - Cora at Short leading off, and DP at 2nd :/

[SamBam39]

I was kidding...I just think that it's funny that his initials are "DP".

Jul-E-o Lugo...*sigh*

9 men left on base.:icon_hangI know. Jul-E-o is not having so good a game. Maybe Alex S-Cora would be a late game defensive replacement!!!

[SamBam39]

Dear God, Julio, could you have made that look any worse?

I have an idea - Cora at Short leading off, and DP at 2nd :/Great minds think alike!!!!:icon_supe

[vito babe]

Great minds think alike!!!!:icon_supe
It's not as though you'd be giving up any great defense if you benched Lugo. Let's do it.

[oldskool138]

Julian Tavarez with 7K's.

I haven't kept track this game...Sorry.

That would be KKKKKKK

[SamBam39]

Hunter with the 1 out double. Keep him from scoring.

[SamBam39]

Walking Morneau to face Kubel now I want a real DP

[oldskool138]

Big, Big DP right there....Not the 2nd baseman. The play. :D

C'mon offense!! Score some freakin' runs!

[SamBam39]

Just like they designed it

[SamBam39]

Youks Tiz and Mr Hustle due up need some runs

[SamBam39]

Work him Youks. Need you on base.

[oldskool138]

There's only two things I like about the Twins:

The last two Twin's pitchers are fellow French-Canadians. Oui!

The catchers helmet looks cool.

[SamBam39]

tiz swing at something for chrissakes

[oldskool138]

"BP" "George" JC Romero will be your pitcher next inning.

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

[SamBam39]

Not like that tiz looks lost tonight

[SamBam39]

There's only two things I like about the Twins:

The last two Twin's pitcher is a fellow French-Canadian. Oui!

The catchers helmet looks cool.That's 2 more than I like:icon_hang

[SamBam39]

D@mn still need some runs!!!

[SamBam39]

Pinata in the game!!! Nice outing from Tavarez

[oldskool138]

That's 2 more than I like:icon_hang

Hey we French-Canadians are few and far between. Hell the last one that did anything was Eric Gagne.

Although, Rocco Baldelli grew up less than 10 miles from where I live.

[oldskool138]

JD Flu with the tapper back to the mound! Woo-Hoo! :rolleyes:

[SamBam39]

Drew stays perfect on the night!!

[SamBam39]

Hey we French-Canadians are few and far between. Hell the last one that did anything was Eric Gagne.

Although, Rocco Baldelli grew up less than 10 miles from where I live.
I am actually French-Canadian as well about 25%

[SamBam39]

These guys are not going to hit tonight

[SamBam39]

Cap'n walks again!!!

[SamBam39]

Cerrano up!!! Nope Hinske in for Cerano!!!! F you Jobu!!!!

[SamBam39]

WMPI'm pissed now, Joboo. Look, I go to you. I stick up for you. You no help me now, I say, fu** you, Joboo. I do it myself.

[oldskool138]

I am actually French-Canadian as well about 25%

Yeah, I'm like 75-80% Quebecoise. It's tough to tell because by granddad was adopted. But, yup, I park my cars side-by-each, me. ;)

[SamBam39]

Hinske gets on with the walk can DP stay hot???? Come on Dustin.

[SamBam39]

Yeah, I'm like 75-80% Quebecoise. It's tough to tell because by granddad was adopted. But, yup, I park my cars side-by-each, me. ;)I got relatives that came to Nova Scotia from France in the 1700's and also from Quebec

[SamBam39]

Covelli in to run for Hinske and Nathan in to pitch.

[oldskool138]

I got relatives that came to Nova Scotia from France in the 1700's and also from Quebec

My mom's big into genealogy and she can trace our roots all the way back to France. It's pretty cool. Apparently, I've still got family in Quebec and back in the motherland.

[SamBam39]

Alex S-Cora hitting for DP.. Stay hot Alex!!!

[oldskool138]

Alex S-Cora hitting for DP.. Stay hot Alex!!!

Finally! Good move by Tito...Even though it didn't work out.

[SamBam39]

Let's go Alex!!!!

[SamBam39]

Crap nothing!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Finally! Good move by Tito...Even though it didn't work out.
Yeah he did the right thing. Would have loved a hit there!!! Running out of innings!

[SamBam39]

Pinata still pitching!

[oldskool138]

Forgot to do this earlier

Jor-El Pienero:

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

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Well, Papi will get to bat in the 9th. This is as good a time as any for him to start his run of heroics.

[oldskool138]

Well, Papi will get to bat in the 9th. This is as good a time as any for him to start his run of heroics.

"Start"? I thought he already started? 8HR's including the one last night to put the Sox on top. No walk-offs but HR's always help your team's cause.

[vito babe]

Forgot to do this earlier

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n205/oldskool138/mbrando.jpg
Superman's daddy, if I remember my comic books/movies correctly?

[sportman3333333]

2 wonderful innings of relief by Pinero

LETS GO OFFENSE

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

"Start"? I thought he already started? 8HR's including the one last night to put the Sox on top. No walk-offs but HR's always help your team's cause.

Right, I'm talking about the 9th inning game winning blasts. Let's watch~!

[SamBam39]

Another nice inning by Pinata! Let's see if Jul-E-o can do anything this inning!

[vito babe]

Another nice inning by Pinata! Let's see if Jul-E-o can do anything this inning!
He wouldn't go oh for 5 would he?

Edit, yup.

[SamBam39]

You owe us one Jul-E-o

[oldskool138]

Superman's daddy, if I remember my comic books/movies correctly?

You are correct, sir. Did you know, Nicholas Cage named his kid Kal-El Cage (Superman's real name)? Weirdo.

[SamBam39]

He wouldn't go oh for 5 would he?I really hope not!!!:(

[SamBam39]

Never mind he did!

[oldskool138]

Yooooook!!!

Papi-Time!!!

C'mon dude at least tie the game!

[SamBam39]

I didn't realize Joe Nathan was the second coming of Mariano Rivera!!!!

[sportman3333333]

So, I guess that would be a choke!

[SamBam39]

Come on TIZ!!!!!!! Overdue big fella.

[sportman3333333]

My heart beat is excessively high.

[oldskool138]

Manny with a chance to be the hero! C'mon! :icon_supe

[SamBam39]

D@mn it TIZ!! Needed something there...just not that!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Oh man, can a catcher take more of a beating than this?

[SamBam39]

manny....please

[SamBam39]

f you jobu!!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

@#%$@!!!! Oh well, can't win 'em all.

[oldskool138]

Whiff...Game over.

Stranded is the word of the day.

10+ guys left on base and they knock Santana out of the game early...Schill on the mound tomorrow.

[JD10367]

That sucked ass.

[SamBam39]

Very disappointing performance by the bats!!!! Wasted a solid effort by Tavarez and Pinata!!!! Tomorrow is another day!!! Schill will go after 'em. Hope the hitters bring some lumber!!!!

Yeah, I'm like 75-80% Quebecoise. It's tough to tell because by granddad was adopted. But, yup, I park my cars side-by-each, me. ;)



God dammit i fell asleep on the couch and missed everything between WMP's single and DO's line out to Hunter in the ninth. Tough luck for Tavarez.

Anyway, i'm french too. I think my mom has said before that i have ancestors as recent as great grandparents that were born in France. My maternal grandmother was born in Quebec. My mom, who was born and grew up in Mass, spoke French as a first language, and i believe didnt learn english until she started elementary school.

My wife is also French. Her fathers family can be traced back to Quebec as well, via Louisiana. Yup i married me a Cajun girl. My wifes maternal grandfather was a direct (im not sure of the right term here) decendant of Robert E Lee. RE Lee was my wifes great great great great great grandfather. Not sure if thats the right number of "greats"

Wow! A lot of F-C's in the house! I live in the F-C heartland of the US. The Mass/RI border.

Nobody famous in my family but I did have a great-great-great grandmother (or aunt) that was up for saint-hood. She was a nun in Quebec who worked at an orphanage. The place caught fire and she died saving many kid's lives. Pretty cool even though she didn't make the papal cut.

My family's got this photograph of my great-great granddad in front of his office (he was a doctor). It's neat because that street corner in RI hasn't changed in over 100 years and it's right down the street from where I live.

What this has to do about baseball, I don't know. :D
