[southcarolina]

Uh oh...bad Timmay is here tonight. Dammit TW youre making me look bad for defending you.

[SamBam39]

Crap...i forgot the game was on.....Just got in myself and saw no game thread!!! Hope this is the start of a long win streak for the Sox!!!

[southcarolina]

Did he just say JP Richardi has had butt injuries the last 2 years?


Damn sac flies.

[SamBam39]

Jesus we have to start the second half with Mr Hyde!!!! Fuggg

[SamBam39]

I love how Wakefield has the uncanny ability to always put his team in the hole early!!!!

[southcarolina]

Holy shit.


Not even Alex Cora could have made that play.

[SamBam39]

Minimal damage suffered. But nonetheless!!!! :(

[southcarolina]

My tv must be on the fritz. It looked like JD Droo got a hit.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Woohoo! JD Drew with an auspicious start. I have faith he will be an offensive force during the 2nd half

[SamBam39]

Well nice second half start for Nancy Drew!!!!

[SamBam39]

My tv must be on the fritz. It looked like JD Droo got a hit.
DO NOT ADJUST YOUR DIAL!!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

'Droia putting up quite a fight there.

[southcarolina]

haha DP gonna foul off pitcehs until Haladay hits 100.

[SamBam39]

Way to earn that BB Dustin!!!!

[southcarolina]

I admit, i wasnt immediately enthralled with DP but by god i am really starting to love that munchkin.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Nice. DP works the walk. That's 1/4 of an RBI if he scores, another 1/4 RBI is Drew scores :)

[southcarolina]

Shift THAT, MF'ers!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

YAAAAAAAY! Big Papi with the RBI!

[SamBam39]

Papi!!!!! The Tizzle sizzles!!!!! 1-1

[southcarolina]

Cmon Manny.

[SamBam39]

I admit, i wasnt immediately enthralled with DP but by god i am really starting to love that munchkin.
He's a baseball player!!! No doubt and will end up beloved by Sox fans!!!!

[Dirtywater]

Good to see Papi get it going early. :icon_supe

[SamBam39]

No Double Play Mojo!!!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Hey DW that is one cool avatar!!!!!

[southcarolina]

Oh shit. Did you see DO limping?

[Dirtywater]

Hey DW that is one cool avatar!!!!!


Thanks.

Manny!!! :icon_supe

[SamBam39]

Yes Manny being Manny!!!!! 2-1!!!!!!!!

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

MANUEL!!!!!!!!!!! All the guys who were supposed to hit are starting things off properly.

[southcarolina]

Cmon Kyook

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Back-to-back RBIs for the big guys.

[SamBam39]

Oh shit. Did you see DO limping?
No I don't have video!!! I guess the knee is really bad!!! They should scope it now. He will be back by the end of August!!!

[southcarolina]

The BJ's manager is a Romulan?

[SamBam39]

Got a run across but not pretty!!!! 3-1

[southcarolina]

No I don't have video!!! I guess the knee is really bad!!! They should scope it now. He will be back by the end of August!!!

I thought i saw him pull up just before he got to third, but no one else said anything about it, so maybe i was wrong

[SamBam39]

Let's go Mr Gray!!!!!!

[southcarolina]

Cmon Smooth Operator.

[southcarolina]

Yeah!! Attaboy Mike :)


Cmon Coco

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

And LOWELL delivers! I love having Lowell, please don't give him away to make room for A-Rod.

[SamBam39]

Lowell gets it done! 4-1


Crisps speed saved him on that!!! Inning over fat boy up to bat!!! Mr .189

[southcarolina]

Cmon Dougie

[southcarolina]

Cmon Julio



I believe. I believe. I believe.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Sweet! Halliday refuses to let Miribelli beat him ;)

Damn, he's gonna get chased off pretty soon. That bodes well for the rest of this series.

[SamBam39]

Oh my God fat boy walks!!!!! If Lugo hits a HR then the Sox are definitely winning the WS this year!!! ;)

[southcarolina]

gah.

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Jesus H, Coco, get your head out of your ASS, buddy

[#1Patsfan_chica]

Good first inning for the offense.

[SamBam39]

I really hope Lugo can turn it around in the second half!!! The Sox have no place to go at short if he doesn't!!!

[SamBam39]

What was Coco thinking there??? Not very smart baseball!

[southcarolina]

I really hope Lugo can turn it around in the second half!!! The Sox have no place to go at short if he doesn't!!!

he seemed, in the games i was able to watch anyway, to be at least putting the ball in play consitantly. After looking like a kid up there completely clueless for most of the season, maybe thats a good sign.

[southcarolina]

What was Coco thinking there??? Not very smart baseball!


Maybe the 3rd base coach sent Coco. Is Dale Sveum back?

[SamBam39]

Maybe the 3rd base coach sent Coco. Is Dale Sveum back?LOL. Sounds like he just took a big turn and wasn't paying attention!:icon_hang

[southcarolina]

LOL. Sounds like he just took a big turn and wasn't paying attention!:icon_hang


yeah i know. Humor keeps me from smashing things.

[southcarolina]

Nice curveball frome Wakes.

[SamBam39]

yeah i know. Humor keeps me from smashing things.
I know the feeling!!!

[southcarolina]

That batters eyes were like saucers when that curveball came looping in. Thats funny when a pitcers fastest pitch is the curveball :)

[SamBam39]

Keep him throwing pitches Nancy!!!

[SamBam39]

Halladay at 50 pitches!!

[southcarolina]

halliday still cant find his control




:D :) :D :)

[SamBam39]

Nancy Drew works walk #2!!!

[SamBam39]

Keep it going Papi!!!!

[southcarolina]

MRI That MF'er!!!!

[SamBam39]

Papi staying hot!!!!:icon_supe

[SamBam39]

Manny home run NOW!!!!

[southcarolina]

Oh its on now.


Piss Manny off. We dare you.

[SamBam39]

Halladay getting a little pissed!!!

[southcarolina]

yay Sac Flies!!!!

[SamBam39]

Scores the run.... but I wanted a homer!!!! :(

[southcarolina]

Halladay getting a little pissed!!!

better to be pissed off than pissed on

[SamBam39]

Get some more runs remember Instant Meltdown is pitching tonight!!!:icon_eyes

[southcarolina]

Why was Okijima rubbing his wood on his shoulder?

[SamBam39]

Youks works the BB! Halladay is up to 66 pitches!!!

[southcarolina]

Halliday is laboring.

[SamBam39]

Why was Okijima rubbing his wood on his shoulder?Ancient art of Japanese healing!!!!!:blink:

[SamBam39]

Is the wind blowing in tonight?

[EverettsTheoryOfEvolution]

Halliday is laboring.

Let's hope he gives birth to a loss.

[southcarolina]

Kyook!

[SamBam39]

Instant Meltdown comes right back out and impresses!!

[southcarolina]

Kevin Youkilis has quietly turned himself into a fine defensive first baseman, no?

[SamBam39]

He should smooch Youks butt for that play!!!

[SamBam39]

Kevin Youkilis has quietly turned himself into a fine defensive first baseman, no?
YES!

[southcarolina]

SamBam are you at work or something?

[SamBam39]

Sox just need to work the count this inning and Halladay is done!!!

[SamBam39]

Way to watch three straight strikes assclown!!!

[SamBam39]

This is why Mirabelli will always suck. First pitch swinging into an out on a guy they want to make pitch. He is both fat and dumb!!!

[southcarolina]

Julio Lugo Is The Greatest Baseball Player Ever!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Way to go Julio!!!! Keep it going!!!

[southcarolina]

Crap

[SamBam39]

Julio Lugo Is The Greatest Baseball Player Ever!!!!!
That's the spirit!!!!:icon_supe

[southcarolina]

MLB Extra Innings is having a free weekend this weekend for anyone who has access to a tv and cable/directtv

[SamBam39]

I really wish the Sox would have showed more patience that inning!! Get Halladay over 90 and he might not have come out for the 4th!

[southcarolina]

I really wish the Sox would have showed more patience that inning!! Get Halladay over 90 and he might not have come out for the 4th!



...except for Julio Lugo, who is free to continue driving the ball back up the middle as often as he likes :)

[southcarolina]

Manny!!!!

[southcarolina]

Nice. DP is pretty good for a 14 yr old :)

[southcarolina]

Roger Clemens, Roy Halliday, Dave Stewart

[southcarolina]

Pat Hentgen. what ever happened to that guy


Wow. he pitched for 13 years. I had totally forgotten about that guy

[southcarolina]

Bowling with Julian Tavares.



Im all over that.

[SamBam39]

Dear Tim Wakefield,
Did I ever tell you how much you suck!! What an absolute piece of crap you are? You are the Ultimate Meltdown!!!

[SamBam39]

Papi getting it done tonight!!!!

[SamBam39]

Manny being Manny AGAIN!!!!!

[SamBam39]

Can they take Ultimate Meltdown out now and go to the BP?

[SamBam39]

Come on Mr. Gray!!!! Let's get the full lead back!!!

[SamBam39]

Looks like Francona actually wants to win this game. MDC in and Ultimate Meltdown out!!

[southcarolina]

MDC doing the job.

[SamBam39]

I hope that MDC continues to pitch effectively because he could really solve the right handed set up man problem!!! If he can keep throwing strikes and avoiding the walks he could be golden!!

[SamBam39]

Good inning for Manny!!!

[SamBam39]

Covelli Crisp quietly having a suck game at the plate tonight!

[SamBam39]

Mirabelli still not hitting his weight!!

[southcarolina]

Watch out ump...the BJ's manager was a green beret in Vietnam. He could kill you in 11 seconds

[Mikiemo83]

wanted to get tossed but no go

[southcarolina]

Mirabelli still not hitting his weight!!

Yeah but no one's hit .400 in 50 years!

[SamBam39]

With a 3 run lead I would have thought they would have brought MDC back out for the 8th.

[SamBam39]

Yeah but no one's hit .400 in 50 years!
Yeah well he's not hitting his half weight either!!!

[SamBam39]

I really think Francona wants to Torre Okajima!!! (ie. Have his arm hanging off by Sept 15th!!!!)

[southcarolina]

I really think Francona wants to Torre Okajima!!! (ie. Have his arm hanging off by Sept 15th!!!!)


he has pitched in 39 games, for about 40 innings. Is 80 appearances and 80 innings alot for a relief pitcher?

[theyellowdart]

It is really nice to have Baseball back..... the All Star Break sucks...

Edit... I am a drunk..

[SamBam39]

he has pitched in 39 games, for about 40 innings. Is 80 appearances and 80 innings alot for a relief pitcher?Probably not in Oki's case. But it seems like a lot and all the times warming. I just want him to be effective at the end of the season.

[southcarolina]

Probably not in Oki's case. But it seems like a lot and all the times warming. I just want him to be effective at the end of the season.

I totally agree....for once i wasnt being argumentative :)


Looks like there are about 40 other pitchers in MLB with 39 or more appearances.

[elsid13]

Probably not in Oki's case. But it seems like a lot and all the times warming. I just want him to be effective at the end of the season.


I think the coach staff is just going have to monitor him and give a couple of days off if notice anything. Hopefully Timlin improves enough to take some of the burden off him .

[SamBam39]

Well I think MDC will be a key. If he continues to pitch well he could also be the bridge to Papelbon. And getting Donnelly back will help as well. Be interesting to see if they bring Bucholz up to pitch out of the bullpen in Sept.

[elsid13]

I am afraid that MDC might be sent down, just because he has option left when some of the vets get off the DL.

[SamBam39]

DIRTY WATER!!!!

[SamBam39]

I am afraid that MDC might be sent down, just because he has option left when some of the vets get off the DL.Maybe. But he has been solid in the right handed set up role and that could keep him on the team!!

[elsid13]

Nice start to second part of the season.

[Mikiemo83]

Maybe. But he has been solid in the right handed set up role and that could keep him on the team!!
yeah, sorry but he is a breath of fresh air and why mess with the kids mental state and drop him when he is going good

take aside now, tell him he is up for the season and cut/trade pinero
