Wakefield crusin' 4k's through 2

[sportman3333333]

Ugh Crud, They tied it up

BTW, yanks and royals tied 10-10 in the eight

[SamBam39]

Well that was another Sox wasted opportunity. Sean when there are two outs a fly ball does NOTHING for the team!

[SamBam39]

Ugh Crud, They tied it up

BTW, yanks and royals tied 10-10 in the eightMake that 11-10 KC top of the 9th.:icon_supe

[SamBam39]

Knuckleball doesn't seem to be doing much today!

Oooh Drew almost over ran that one.

[SamBam39]

Wakes settled down that inning. Now get him some more runs.

[sportman3333333]

Wow soria gives up a homer in the 9th to let MFY tie it up 11-11

[SamBam39]

MFY tied it up in the "dump that the fat crap built".

[sportman3333333]

More Cora

3-2

The lineup Delivers

[SamBam39]

Terrible defense by Ibanez in left. Good hustle by Moss! 3-2

[sportman3333333]

Corvelli Delivers

4-2

[SamBam39]

Covelli with the RBI single! 4-2

[SamBam39]

Any chance that Lugo gets a hit?

[sportman3333333]

Damon walk off single. He was 6-6 today

[sportman3333333]

Crisp 2nd SB

Nice

Lugo, I still hate you

[SamBam39]

Crisp again. Now Lugo get him home!

[sportman3333333]

Wow, amazing. A WALK from lugo

[SamBam39]

Damon walk off single. He was 6-6 today
Johnny Damon can fry in hell for all I care!:cuss:

[SamBam39]

Wow, amazing. A WALK from lugoHe is on fire!!!:thumb:

[SamBam39]

Stay hot JD!!!!

[SamBam39]

Darn it!!! Well at least they got the lead!

[sportman3333333]

Drew got robbed of two hits today.

[SamBam39]

Wakes settling down nicely. Now we need Manny to be Manny!

[SamBam39]

Lead off walk. Casey needs to hit.

[SamBam39]

They better score some of these runs the friggin' bases are loaded.

[SamBam39]

Well passed ball is one way to do it! 5-2

[Firefligh]

Not often we get to see two knucklers duel it out (or what passes for a duel when the ball flutters).

[SamBam39]

Knuckleballer vs. Knuckleballer how often do you see that?

Welcome firefligh. Looks like we are on the same wave length.:thumb:

[SamBam39]

Nice running throw for Lugo!

[Firefligh]

Welcome firefligh. Looks like we are on the same wave length.:thumb:

Thanks for the welcome - good day for Wake so far, mixing it up some and out of his not unusual 'settling down' period.

I am enjoying this piecemeal lineup - Francona being creative again.

[SamBam39]

Got him with a fast ball!!!!

I think he is making the best of what he has to work with. Seems to be working today....so far.

Coco is having a nice day - good for him, he needs it as well as the team.

There goes JD!!!

[sportman3333333]

Drew

Gone

[SamBam39]

JD Drew is the man! 6-2

Welcome to the forums :D

[SamBam39]

They need Drew to hit. Good for him!

[SamBam39]

Manny wanted to hit that to New Hampshire!

[sportman3333333]

This is what it feels like going against the knuckleball.

[Firefligh]

They need Drew to hit. Good for him!

I like JD in the third spot while Papi's out - not just for the leftie-rightie configuration, but I feel like he'll step up to the batting spot as long as he's healthy.

JD's a deep pool, but somewhere in him there's gotta be some passion that Tito can tweak to best advantage. I really like him batting before # 24.

[Firefligh]

Manny wanted to hit that to New Hampshire!

At the least!

What a wild ride that one's been on since he hit his 500th - just one week ago!

I know No. 504 Went to New Hampshire. That was a bomb.

And a nice DP by Lugo and Cora. Lugo got his act together on the defense.

[Firefligh]

yuck - the Yankees pulled out that slugfest.

[sportman3333333]

Drew Delivers

I love him

[nomars_girl]

yuck - the Yankees pulled out that slugfest.

The Yankees are not relevant.

[sportman3333333]

Rout

[sportman3333333]

The Yankees are not relevant.

Never count them out. Look at last year.

[SamBam39]

Sox just piling it on now!

As long as he stays productive I think he will get most of the AB's in the 3 hole. But Francona may mix it up depending on who is pitching while Papi is out.

[SamBam39]

Paps coming in. I guess it his day to get in his work.

[SamBam39]

Wow a Youkilis error.

[SamBam39]

I don't think this is what Francona wanted to happen. OK Paps settle the heck down and get out of here.

[Firefligh]

Wow a Youkilis error.

I think Youk needs to be allowed to keep throwing equipment around in the clubhouse - maybe one of the reason he's been so error free is he's been using up excess adrenaline taking it out on equipment.

Never mess with a successful practice - it's a mojo thang,

[SamBam39]

That's more like it. K for Paps! Now get the DP.

Just clear the bench and let him go crazy!

[SamBam39]

Another K for Paps!

[SamBam39]

WATER!!!

[SamBam39]

Nice win for the Sox.

For a second there I thought you were talking about me. ;) Seriously, he was pretty solid yesterday. Take away the one blip inning and that was a very good performance.

Thanks for explaining the anchor remark was sarcasm - wouldn't want this newbie to go spastic and then look ridiculous.

Major Wake luver here - and it's been frustrating this season that he hasn't been stringing consecutive GREAT starts together - frustrating because when he has it ON, as he did yesterday with all SPEEDS, and as he did in his start of May 7 when he had all PITCHES going, he's been as effective as he's been at any time of his long career.

Yesterday's was a great game - Tito's supposedly ineffective lineup working out bigtime ended up illustrating this team's fine depth. 24 gave Wake some wiggle room with that early homer that had garage attendants ACROSS Landsdowne St scuttling..JD coming out of his shell where it counts most - his bat...Coco, Cora, Casey, all contributing. The one down note was Youk's error-free streak ending, but it was cool to see him and 24 connected again. Anyone who had any doubt a Francona led team would falter with 'bad chemistry' is nuts. Terry's real gift is in his team building.

And oh yeh, I love Manny no matter what, but seeing him add the '34' forearm to the '34' scratched into his battered batting helmet - another example of how a player lost to down-time is shown he still contributes - this team rocks..just ROCKS!

Lets's see what kind of combo Terry comes up with today..
