[SlumpBustR]

OMG I am so new at this game thread thingee

do I need to post any pics of half-naked women?

[SamBam39]

That is always appreciated!!! ;) Good mojo!

[SamBam39]

That was a good first batter for Schill!!!

[SamBam39]

Schilling strikes out the side to start. GOOD START!!!

[SlumpBustR]

OMG Schill gets out of 1st inning w/ 0 runs

I'm The Best!

DHughes....kiss my a$s

[SamBam39]

....and Lee returns the favor with his own 1-2-3!!!

[SamBam39]

OMG Schill gets out of 1st inning w/ 0 runs

I'm The Best!

DHughes....kiss my a$s
LOL!!!! If they win you're up tomorrow!!!:)

[TITAN126]

Great to see the fans give Trot a standing ovation.

[SamBam39]

Sure Nixon singles!!!!

[SamBam39]

Come on Curt. Can't lose it after one inning!!!

[SamBam39]

K-K-K-K-K-urt Schilling!!!!

5 K's already!!!!

[SlumpBustR]

my man Curt is pitching a no hi........

nevermind

DHughes, where the F are you?

[SamBam39]

This could be a short game!!!

[SamBam39]

Schilling is falling apart!!!

[SamBam39]

Nice play by Lowell!!!! Must have brought his good glove tonight!!!

[SamBam39]

And Curt gets out of it!!! Need some runs!!

[theyellowdart]

Hafner scares the bejesus out of me.... He is 0-2 but jesus... He just looks like a tough mother fvcker....

[PatsDVD]

I just flipped on the game and almost saw a triple play !

[SamBam39]

Come on cap'n hang tough!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

I missed Trot's AB so I missed the ovation. I'll wait to see the highlights.

Go Sox!!!

[theyellowdart]

no one told me Cy Lee was pitching tonight....

[SamBam39]

2 on 2 out this is no place for Covelli Crisp!!!!

[PatsDVD]

no one told me Cy Lee was pitching tonight....

It's weird that the Sox can't hit lefties . . .

[theyellowdart]

It's weird that the Sox can't hit lefties . . .

It is strange.... The Sox have some pretty good right hand batters so you would think they would be better against Lefties... Not so much...

[sportman3333333]

Heys guys, I am gonna join on in u tonight. :D

[#1Patsfan_chica]

I'm loving all the Trot Nixon highlights.

[theyellowdart]

You gotta be impressed with 38 so far tonight... This is the best lineup in the majors and he is shutting them out through 4. Especially with how he has looked recently

[SamBam39]

1-2-3

[PatsDVD]

Youk is on FIRE !

[theyellowdart]

Youk is pretty good.....

[theyellowdart]

I think what impresses me so much about Youk is how he is going the other way soo much... I do not remember that from last year. He prolly did but I don't remember it...

[SamBam39]

Well at least manny got Youks to third!!!

[theyellowdart]

Drew heating up...... very good sign.. 1-0

[Fully Tilted]

Heys guys, I am gonna join on in u tonight. :D

Listen man, no matter how many beers deep I may (or may not) be--you're not joining on in me. This much I know. :D

1-0 good guys

[#1Patsfan_chica]

RBI for JD.

[SamBam39]

Is Drew finally breaking out of his slump?

[sportman3333333]

DREW comes through big time!

He is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[SamBam39]

Come on Mr Gray let's get a nother run!

[SamBam39]

Now that's what I am talking about!!!!!

[sportman3333333]

2-0

Gray Double Rbi

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Mike Lowell is having a good year.

[SamBam39]

Wild pitches Lowell to third!!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

'Tek gets hit but he sure made the pitcher throw extra pitches.

[theyellowdart]

I am the only one that thinks that was kind of a stupid play by Lowell?

[SamBam39]

WM Cerrano........NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fully Tilted]

Terrible baserunning by Lowell. You never have to go halfway when you're on third. If you're unsure, you stay on the bag and wait for the fielder to make or not make the play. Either way you wait on the bag because you only need to move 90 ft.

[Fully Tilted]

WM Cerrano........NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a webgem by Sizemore--not much you can do about that.

[SamBam39]

DP works the walk!!! Bases juiced!!!

[SamBam39]

That was a webgem by Sizemore--not much you can do about that.
Yeah, my problem is no video. I'm going by Gameday!!!:icon_hang

[sportman3333333]

Yeah, my problem is no video. I'm going by Gameday!!!:icon_hang
me 2

[SamBam39]

Come on Lugo-a go-go!!!!

[SamBam39]

Lugo-a-no-no!!!! :(

[SlumpBustR]

this game is so on in the bag on cruise control for Schill I have been watching The Real Wedding Crashers on NBC

carry on

[SamBam39]

Schill gets the 1-2-3 inning!!! 7 K's 80 pitches!

[SamBam39]

this game is so on in the bag on cruise control for Schill I have been watching The Real Wedding Crashers on NBC

carry on
As long as we know you are there in spirit!! ;)

[SamBam39]

Oh that Covelli Crisp is just red hot!!!!

[SamBam39]

What's manny got to offer!!!!?????????????

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Manny!!!

[PatsDVD]

My adopted son getting it done!



(. . . and the MFYs are losing again - 3-0 in the fifth)

[SamBam39]

Now that's what I am talking about!!!!! Manny being Manny!! 3-0

[TITAN126]

Manny! :D

[theyellowdart]

(. . . and the MFYs are losing again - 3-0 in the fifth)

Speaking of the yanks... I was watching Clemens today on the Yankee Network, I mean ESPN sorry, and I was very unimpressed. His numbers were pretty good but his stuff was not. I look forward to watching him pitch for the Yanks...

Edit for being a idiot

[SamBam39]

Big K for Schill!!!!

[theyellowdart]

3-1 after 5 and a half....

[SamBam39]

Speaking of the yanks... I was watching Clemens today on the Yankee Network, I mean ESPN sorry, and I was very unimpressed. His numbers were pretty good but his stuff was not. I look forward to watching him pitch for the Yanks...

Edit for being a idiotYes I will be very curious to see how he pitches to the American League!!!

[SamBam39]

Lee out Hernandez in!!!

[PatsDVD]

I'm hoping the Sox light him up in Fenway next weekend

[SamBam39]

Schill at 99 pitches. He is probably done too!

[SamBam39]

WM Cerrano back to his old self!!!

[PatsDVD]

Pedroia has turned into a nice little hitter. Pretty solid in the field too . . .

[SamBam39]

Another run here would be nice!!!!

[PatsDVD]

Lugo and Crisp. The two automatic outs in the lineup . . . :(

[SamBam39]

Hope some one is up in the BP!!!!

[SlumpBustR]

get Schilling out of there.....lets have Donnelly close this game out over the next 3 innings

I feel lucky

[SamBam39]

Let's go Schill!!!!

[SamBam39]

Well that was a good outing by Schilling against a good team.!!!!

[theyellowdart]

Wow.... The Yanks Bullpen is just god awful.......

[SamBam39]

Covelli with the 0-4 night. One out closer to the Jacoby Ellsbury era!!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Inside the park HR for Youk!!!

[RedSox09]

Where's the O2 tank? :)

[SamBam39]

Damn I wish I could have seen that inside the parker!!!!! Youks is on fire!!!!

[PatsDVD]

An inside the park HR !!

Too bad the Sox didn't turn that triple play earlier . . .

[SamBam39]

Lugo and Crisp 1-8 tonight. Not getting it done at the top of the order.

[JD10367]

Sorry I missed this thread, I didn't hear it. It was overwhelmed by the loud thud which is the Yankees hitting the ground, LOLOL...

[PatsDVD]

Damn I wish I could have seen that inside the parker!!!!! Youks is on fire!!!!

It hit the edge of the bullpen wall in the triangle and took a big bounce past the centerfielder toward left field. By the time Nixon ran over to get it from right field, Youk made it home easily

[SamBam39]

Fultz In To Pitch!!!

[SamBam39]

It hit the edge of the bullpen wall in the triangle and took a big bounce past the centerfielder toward left field. By the time Nixon ran over to get it from right field, Youk made it home easilyThanks!!:icon_supe

[SamBam39]

4-1 Top of the 8th. Who's coming in to pitch!

[SamBam39]

J.C. Superstar!!!!!

[sportman3333333]

Tito must really want us to lose tonight!

[theyellowdart]

Nice outing JC..... take a shower you useless piece of shit....

[SamBam39]

Good strategy bring in Romero to walk the first two batters and then bring in a major league pitcher!!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Tito must really want us to lose tonight!Sometimes I wonder!!!!:icon_hang :icon_hang

[SamBam39]

Cleveland is not going to go easy!!:blink:

[theyellowdart]

for those that care the 4th place yanks just officially lost 7-2 to the Jay's tonight...

[SamBam39]

They survived that!!! Let's see if they can get any insurance!!

[SlumpBustR]

Donnelly = Master Of His Own Domain :icon_supe

[PatsDVD]

Yankees game just ended. Toronto wins 7-2.

Three more outs and the lead goes up to 13 1/2.

[SamBam39]

for those that care the 4th place yanks just officially lost 7-2 to the Jay's tonight...
What the hell is going on in the Bronx!?? Ahh who cares!!!:icon_pidu

[SamBam39]

Joboo says get a hit you big stiff!!!

[SamBam39]

Joboo says fluck you Cerrano!!!!

[SamBam39]

OK remember when we were all complaining about Pedroia?? I think he is starting to get the hang of this baseball stuff!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Lugo gets an RBI double.

[SamBam39]

Lugo comes through with some insurance!!!

[SamBam39]

Paps time!!!!

[JD10367]

Sometimes I wonder!!!!:icon_hang :icon_hang

It's not Tito's fault. He's got Romero and Piniero on the roster, he HAS to try to use them. He can only hope they don't suck too bad, and that the brass above him figures it out sooner rather than later and finds him some better middle relief. Maybe it'll be Delcarmen; maybe Lester comes back as the #5 and Tavarez goes back; who knows. But right now those two stiffs are about the only real weak spot on the team. (Well, I'd like to see Manny and David hitting a little more consistently... but, like a slow-boiling pot of water, I have faith that those two will eventually get on a roll.)

[JD10367]

Is it bad for me to root for Tampa Bay to make a comeback and win tonight so the Yankmes end up tied in the bottom spot? :D

[SamBam39]

He just isn't sharp!!!

[SamBam39]

I smell a blown save!!!

[theyellowdart]

Jesus....

[SamBam39]

Are you sure JC Romero didn't put on Papelbons uni?

[theyellowdart]

The Indians lineup is money......

[JD10367]

Just giving the Fenway Faithful their money's worth. Gotta make it close so they go home with a smile and a rush of adrenalin...

[SamBam39]

He needs to blow someone away!!!

[theyellowdart]

how is that a out? I don't get it...

[#1Patsfan_chica]

He was swinging. 2 outs. Let's go Paps.

[theyellowdart]

Hafner is coming up..... I think I am going to shit myself.....

[theyellowdart]

He was swinging. 2 outs. Let's go Paps.

but he fouled it off...... IT shouldn't be a out.....

[JD10367]

And the mighty Devil Rays come back to beat Detroit in the bottom of the 9th, putting the Yankmes in the basement beside them! Woo hoo!

[PatsDVD]

but he fouled it off...... IT shouldn't be a out.....

It's not a foul if it doesn't hit the bat

[JD10367]

I'd walk him.

[SamBam39]

Gameday seems frozen let me know what's going on!

[SamBam39]

Oh it's back!!!

[theyellowdart]

It's not a foul if it doesn't hit the bat

It is just a really confusing situation

[PatsDVD]

Gameday seems frozen let me know what's going on!

Blake got hit in the hand on a check swing. 1st base ump said he went around, so he's out. there was a delay while the Indians manager argued. Paps has two strikes now . . .

[theyellowdart]

watah

[JD10367]

Ova.

[PatsDVD]

Strike Three > > > > Game Over !!!

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Swing and a miss. Red Sox win. That was a tough save for Paps.

[SamBam39]

K to end the game!!! Not pretty but I'll take it!!!

[SlumpBustR]

this game = never in doubt

[SamBam39]

DIRTY WATER!!!!!

[PatsDVD]

And the mighty Devil Rays come back to beat Detroit in the bottom of the 9th, putting the Yankmes in the basement beside them! Woo hoo!

. . . but just wait 'til Clemens joins the rotation :rolleyes:

[SamBam39]

this game = never in doubtIt's your game thread now. See you tomorrow RG!!!!:icon_supe

[#1Patsfan_chica]

And I just noticed that the Yankees lost today. That is awesome.

[SamBam39]

. . . but just wait 'til Clemens joins the rotation :rolleyes:Clemens is going to be busy pitching every night!!!:icon_eyes

[PatsDVD]

It's your game thread now. See you tomorrow RG!!!!:icon_supe

We're expecting lots of scantily clad mojo babes . . .

[TITAN126]

Wow...great game. I still don't understand why the second out of the 9th inning was an out though...

[SamBam39]

We're expecting lots of scantily clad mojo babes . . .
Yeah I thought we would get some of them tonight!!:(


jk:)

[SlumpBustR]

We're expecting lots of scantily clad mojo babes . . .what is Beckett's preference in the women?

nevermind, I got just what the finger doctor ordered in mind -- no problem

Wow...great game. I still don't understand why the second out of the 9th inning was an out though...

Saw this in the postgame show, the rulebook states that if a player is swinging on a third strike and is touched/hit by the ball, he is considered out.

Oddly enough, the same thing happened today in my son's Little League game. A kid was hit by the pitch, but he swung at it so it's a strike. In the Sox game, it happened to be strike three, so the batter is out.

OMG Schill gets out of 1st inning w/ 0 runs

I'm The Best!

DHughes....kiss my a$s

Hahahaha ...

By the way ... mostly 1.) Comatose hahaha

Two things:
One, during that strikeout situation for the 2nd out, the play should have been live, so technically the runners should have advanced, cutting the lead down to 1.

Second of all, anyone still curious why I've been voicing concerns about Papelbon? Papelbon needs to alter his approach. His fastball doesn't move... at all. So batters are going up swinging at his first pitch, and often hammering it. He either needs to start with a splitter or slider, or use his breaking stuff.

If that is the case then V Tek needs to alter the way he calls Paps pitches!!

That sounds about right. That's the 3rd base coaches fault for not knowing the rulebook though. Technically the "out" call was correct though according to the MLB Rulebook, IF the swing was interpreted as such and not a check-swing.

Yes, I mentioned this about a month ago. I wish he would either mix in his curve or change more frequently or start dropping that splitter on the first pitch to keep hitters guessing.
