[SlumpBustR]

very nice 4th inning for DiceK.....looking very efficient

I think we keep him...enough of this swapping him for Arroyo talk now, OK?

[SamBam39]

Let's go Youks Stay hot!!!!!

[SamBam39]

very nice 4th inning for DiceK.....looking very efficient

I think we keep him...enough of this swapping him for Arroyo talk now, OK?
Who wants to switch him for Arroyo? I'll switch Pena for Arroyo!:)

[Bases Loaded]

Hell yeah this is the kind of stuff we been waiting for ... Dice K is on his game!

[SamBam39]

He can't hit for crap but his glove has been pretty good so far!!!! Nice catch Covelli!

[SamBam39]

Julio LOOOOO-GO

[SamBam39]

Let's see if Covelli can do anything!!!!!

[JD10367]

Who the hell is Covelli?

[JD10367]

Is that Coco's full name?

[SamBam39]

A walk not bad Covelli!!!

[SamBam39]

Is that Coco's full name?
Covelli Crisp. It's his real first name!! Coco is a nickname!!!!

[JD10367]

Two walks in a row after the Slam. Buh-bye, Redman, LOL.

[SamBam39]

Pitching change!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Sorry I'm late here folks......


BOOYAH!!!

7-0 Good Guys!

[JD10367]

WTF? where is everybody?

Dunno. PP is slow today, too, and I'm stuck in work all weekend. :( And I know the weather's crappy, so it's not like people are outside. Maybe everyone went to see "Spiderman 3" or "Shrek 3" this weekend...

[Fully Tilted]

Another shitty thing about last night's rainout is that I don't get the game on Extra Innings or MLB.TV. So you guys are my eyes and ears (let me know if you see any hot chicks! :D )

[SamBam39]

Nice play by Jones!!!! :(

[JD10367]

Not that I have a problem with Daisuke and the Sox pounding the Braves' young pitching, but... I thought it was supposed to be Smoltz vs. Matsuzaka and then Hansack vs. the young guy? Who changed it up? Is Smoltz not going tonight, or did the Sox flipflop?

[Fully Tilted]

4 pitches-two outs.

Matsuzaka looking good today or just REALLY lucky???

61 pitches 5.2 innings, 5 hits and 5 K's with 0 walks.

[SamBam39]

Smoltz is going tonight! He was always starting Sat. as far as I knew!

[SamBam39]

1-2-3

Dice-K cruising

[JD10367]

At the rate Daisuke's going, maybe they'll just let him pitch both games, LOL. He might throw a complete game today with about 80 pitches, leaving him plenty of gas for tonight considering how many pitches he's used to throwing. :D

[Fully Tilted]

It'd be fantastic if Daisuke can give us 8 innings and we can use Jor-El or Romero to finish off a decent lead, saving Okie, Paps, Donnelly etc. for the nightcap.

[SamBam39]

Papi on fire today! 3-3 Double!!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Ortiz not slowing down at all...

[SamBam39]

At the rate Daisuke's going, maybe they'll just let him pitch both games, LOL. He might throw a complete game today with about 80 pitches, leaving him plenty of gas for tonight considering how many pitches he's used to throwing. :D
Considering it's a double header. I wouldn't be surprised if they let Dice K go all game and save the bull pen for tonight ( Smoltz) and tomorrow ( Hudson ) as those games should be closer!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Why was McCann taken out for Saltalamcchia?

[SamBam39]

Manny was almost Manny!!! Ortiz to third!!!

[SamBam39]

Why was McCann taken out for Saltalamcchia?
I didn't hear!!!! Maybe he's playing tonight and they want to rest him? He is just listed as a defensive substitution.

[Fully Tilted]

I didn't hear!!!!


It said it on Sportsline.

Both excellent players by the way. Saltalamacchia, while tying a major league record for longest last name :D, is also the best catching prospect in baseball.

I wonder if McCann is hurt though. He's been banged up lately.

[SamBam39]

Drew having a nice day at the plate!!!! Hope he heats up!!!

[Fully Tilted]

I wanna be like Mike.

[SamBam39]

Lowell is really swinging a big bat. 35 RBI's 1st on the Sox and 4 behind Gay-Rod!!!

[SamBam39]

I wanna be like Mike.
No kidding, huh???

[Fully Tilted]

Tek and Pedroia are the only starters without a hit. Now's as good a time as any.

[SamBam39]

Nice catch for Jones.

[Fully Tilted]

Lowell is really swinging a big bat. 35 RBI's 1st on the Sox and 4 behind Gay-Rod!!!

He's doing all of this almost entirely under the radar too. I noticed that Drew was intentionally walked in the first inning to get to him (according to sportsline).

This all bodes well for Drew, which will give Manny better pitches and so on...trickle UP effect I suppose. :D

[SamBam39]

Way to hang in there Covelli!

[SamBam39]

Sweet! Covelli with the double 10-0 Sox!!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

I wish I was seeing this!!! 11-pitch AB for Crisp worked to a double.

151 pitches thrown by ATL pitching......67 thrown by Matsuzaka.

[SamBam39]

Renteria with the error. Hmmmmmm! Where have we seen that before????

[Bases Loaded]

It seems like he came out of a 2-year slump. He's really doing awesome for us and I hope the Sox don't want to trade him like they supposedly did last year. He's obviously very happy to be here.

[Fully Tilted]

Are they taking Paranto out? They sort of hung him out to dry this inning.

[SamBam39]

Man this is brutal, huh! 12-0!!

[SamBam39]

It seems like he came out of a 2-year slump. He's really doing awesome for us and I hope the Sox don't want to trade him like they supposedly did last year. He's obviously very happy to be here.
He is red hot and ahead of last years first half pace!!! If Papi, Manny and Drew hit Lowell will see alot of RBI opps and fast balls!!! He could quietly have a very good year!!!

[Fully Tilted]

It seems like he came out of a 2-year slump. He's really doing awesome for us and I hope the Sox don't want to trade him like they supposedly did last year. He's obviously very happy to be here.


IIRC, he put up some pretty good numbers pre-AS game last year and sort of slumped int he second half. He's getting a rep as a first-half player. I love the guy--one of my favorites on the team. Plays professional, never says stupid sh*t, gold-glove defense and a guy who can catch fire on offense.

[Fully Tilted]

163 pitches for ATL pitching already and they need to get 6 more outs.

[SamBam39]

12-0 top of the seventh!!!

[SamBam39]

Cerrano in for defense????

[Bases Loaded]

Jesus... Wily Mo's fielding is PAINFUL to watch

It really hurts

[Fully Tilted]

Cerrano in for defense????

Nope. Cerrano in for blowout.

[SamBam39]

Willie Mo showing off his defensive prowess!!!:blink:

[Fully Tilted]

Jesus... Wily Mo's fielding is PAINFUL to watch

It really hurts

Was it a double or did he eff it up into a double?

[SamBam39]

Was it a double or did he eff it up into a double?
Sounds like he gave up on a playable ball!!!:icon_hang

[Bases Loaded]

I dont know why they have to baby Manny so much ... he barely has to move out in right field yet they pull him any time they have a 5 run lead, or a 5 run deficit for that matter. I suppose the only way for Pena's fielding to get any better would be to play him but at this point he looks like a lost cause.

[SamBam39]

Dice K has a sweet glove. He can field his position!!!

[SamBam39]

Manny is just being Manny!!! ;)

[SamBam39]

There goes the shutout thanks to the glove of WM Cerrano!!!

[Bases Loaded]

Boooooooooo Wily Boooooooooooo

I don't have a boradcast so I'm not sure if they said anything but I have no porblem with Tito resting guys when they can considering they played ina DH the other day and are playing in one today.

[SamBam39]

Oh phuck Dice you have a million run lead what the hell are you doing??

[SamBam39]

I don't have a boradcast so I'm not sure if they said anything but I have no porblem with Tito resting guys when they can considering they played ina DH the other day and are playing in one today.
No you're right they should rest those guys!! It is just painful to watch WMP play any defensive position.

[Fully Tilted]

Oh phuck Dice you have a million run lead what the hell are you doing??

It's all good man. He's had to wait to pitch for long periods of time. It's still a 9-run game. Just enjoy this one. There will be far more stressful games ahead. :)

[SamBam39]

And there goes the patented Dice K crap inning! He should be fine for the rest of the game!!!!

[SlumpBustR]

all right WTF? this Wily Mo in the field sh!t has got to stop. does every single friggin ball hit at him seem to deflect away from him like polar-opposites on a friggin magnet?

who here has got Wily Mo as their Adopt-a-Sox? let's get him/her and stuff him/her in a thrash barrel

[Bases Loaded]

I don't have a boradcast so I'm not sure if they said anything but I have no porblem with Tito resting guys when they can considering they played ina DH the other day and are playing in one today.

When they took him out with a 5 run deficit and pinch-hit WMP, on the day that we rallied for 6 runs to win, one reporter called on him for it and he admitted that he was being over-protective, blamed only himself for the move.

[SamBam39]

It's all good man. He's had to wait to pitch for long periods of time. It's still a 9-run game. Just enjoy this one. There will be far more stressful games ahead. :)
Agreed but he needs to learn how not to lose focus and have that one bad inning. Today it's meaningless. Another time it may lose a playoff game.

I don't mind giving Pinata some playing time when we're up 12-0. Although he may not improve, the only shot is if he plays some and this is a harmless time.

Just when I was wondering if Dice-K would throw back to back complete games, he got hit hard in the 7th. He's still under 80 pitches through 7. If he settles down in the 8th, it might not be a bad idea, since we'll probably need the pen in game 2 with Hansack starting.

[Bases Loaded]

AND THEN HE DOES SHIT LIKE THAT

Wow someone needs a DH that can hit like that.

[SlumpBustR]

Wilyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Mooooooooooooooooo

I love him :icon_supe :icon_syda :icon_supe

[SamBam39]

Sure the bastard can't catch then hits a HR to New Hampshire!!!

[JD10367]

And once again Pena follows up a blunder with something positive. This is how he keeps you on the hook.... gives you a little line, then reeeeeels you back in, gives you a little line, then reeeeels you back in, LOL...

[SamBam39]

Wilyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Mooooooooooooooooo

I love him :icon_supe :icon_syda :icon_supeLOL That is a classic Sox fan move!!!:icon_eyes

[Bases Loaded]

WMP eats yogurt when hes on the bench.

The similarities to Cerrano never cease.

[Fully Tilted]

When they took him out with a 5 run deficit and pinch-hit WMP, on the day that we rallied for 6 runs to win, one reporter called on him for it and he admitted that he was being over-protective, blamed only himself for the move.

Gotcha. I don't get pre or post-game with Extra Innings. And to be truthful, I hardly read the papers anymore.

With a 5-run lead I see that as defensive. Playing 5 games in three days, I see that as smart.

[SamBam39]

I'm thinking Francona will pitch him as long as he can get away with. You're right they may need 3-4 pitchers tonight!!

[SamBam39]

who here has got Wily Mo as their Adopt-a-Sox? let's get him/her and stuff him/her in a thrash barrel
Fortunately ( for that person) no one has WMP as their Adopt-A-Sox!!!

[SamBam39]

Sure NOW Renteria makes a play!!!! ;)

[JD10367]

I just hope today doesn't turn out to be one of those aggravating doubleheaders where they win the first game 17-3 and lose the second game 1-0. I frigging hate when they do that, LOL....

[Fully Tilted]

Sportsline is still showing Pena with a HR and nothing else. Are they changing pitchers or something??

[Fully Tilted]

nevermind

[SamBam39]

Dice-k

[SamBam39]

I just hope today doesn't turn out to be one of those aggravating doubleheaders where they win the first game 17-3 and lose the second game 1-0. I frigging hate when they do that, LOL....
Well Smoltz is pitching the night cap so that is possible

[SamBam39]

That was close!!!

[SamBam39]

If this inning goes much longer we may see another pitcher!!!

[Bases Loaded]

Wily made the catch! Wooooooo!

[SamBam39]

Cerrano made a play. ALERT THE MEDIA!!!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

8 solid from Matsuzaka today. I'll take that performance everyday of the week.

[JD10367]

Well, Daisuke's now at 103 pitches with a 10-run lead and 3 outs left. Can't see Tito using a reliever at this point, and if he does it'll be a low-level guy like Piniero. Okajima and Papelbon get saved for the nightcap, which was Priority #2 today (after Priority #1, winning, LOL).

[SamBam39]

Atlanta has used 6 pitchers today!!!

[JD10367]

8 solid from Matsuzaka today. I'll take that performance everyday of the week.

Just going by the stats it looked like six solid, then a botched play by Pena which led to a run and then a misplaced ball for a two-run homer. Not a stellar performance, but about what I expect for a guy still getting his feet wet in American baseball. As long as he wins, or at least keeps them in the game, I can live with an ERA between 3 and 4. Sure, he's got some occasional control or emotion issues, but he's got a nice variety of pitches and can strike guys out. I think he's a keeper.

I'm thinking Dice K comes out to pitch the ninth. He consistently pitches over a hundred.

I'm actually expecting his ERA to be between 3 or 4 this year. I wouldn't be surprised if ti were closer to 4 too.

[SamBam39]

And Alex S-Cora keeps it going!

[Bases Loaded]

I think he's a keeper.

Me too! :D

[SamBam39]

On to the 9th. Bullpen was busy so I guess we have seen the last of Dice-K for today!!

[Fully Tilted]

202 pitches thrown for the Braves pitchers today. :blink:

NY-1 NY-0 in NY

202 pitches thrown for the Braves pitchers today. :blink:


That's awesome, knowing how the Sox work hitters - they're in for a long night cap I bet :icon_hang

[JD10367]

Is there anyone LEFT in the Braves bullpen for tonight?!? Sheesh.

Let's hope the bats stay hot and Hansack can hold them to, say, 5 runs even. With Okajima and Papelbon ready to go, if the hitters can do their part I'll be happy with a 7-5 win.

Yanks are already down 3-1. Do I hear "11-1/2 games out"? :D

Oh that sounds NICE!! :icon_pidu

[TITAN126]

Wow lol...amazing game by the offense. Dice-K was solid, too. Let's keep it going in the night cap!

Update on Yankees/Mets - Mets 8, Yankees 3 :D
