BOSTON SUCKS
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
False start
5 yard penalty, repeat the down
(figured you would be used to hearing this after that game today – at least the Raiders won)
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
That was ridiculous.
We got pretty excited for plays that didn’t have a flag. Didn’t matter who had the ball.
I'm here to talk about the past.
The Raiders at least only had three penalties in the 2nd half
The first quarter was just farking ridiculous.
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
Only three huh?
I must have been too freaked out that we might lose to notice.

Let's get this out of the way early...

but I generally dare not speak of it here, in the land where Croz is hated more than Satan himself.
I thought that was dfa. Croz is a little more liked than him.

A's should sign baldelli this offseason
great buy low FA
the dude has muscular freaking dystrophy.
A's v Giants "is kind of like the difference between going to see the Ramones and going to see the Bee Gees. A's fans will go see the Ramones." -BB 07/27/05
yeah
believe me..we don’t want him. NO offense to him. Love him. He’s a hometown boy..but no. My dad had MD excpet a much more serious form then him…it’s not good

If Baldelli launches one, will that be the money shot?

Chip Caray is completely insufferable
A line drive off the bottom of the wall down the left field line was a “HIGH FLY BALL” and every time a ball is put in play he screams as if somebody just hit a 600 foot grand slam to win not just the World Series, but every World Series ever.
I can’t wait until TBS no longer has playoff games. It’s really hard to watch because of Caray.

Why in the hell are Chip's descriptions NEVER in tune with what is happening?
A shallow pop up is “a drive.” A line drive off the wall is a “high fly ball.” A soft liner that is caught 30 feet from the wall is “fisted into shallow right field.”

It should be Wheeler to face the 9-1-2,
then Howell vs. Ortiz, at which point he may as well stay in to face Youkilis and Drew. Then (unless the Sox go in order twice) you get to pick between Howell and Balfour to face Bay.

Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
I'm laying down in bed
I’m not sure my heart can take another of these FAIL games, especially after watching the Raiders’ game this afternoon.

OK not really, but let’s pretend.

Joe Morgan
explaining why NOT bunting was the right call there. Interesting.

And he is right, too
No way they should’ve bunted Pedroia, even though he was unable to get a hit.

Oh definitely.
Just interesting hearing it from him.

Howell coming in to face Ortiz

Ummm...did they just pull the closer?

No, they pulled someone masquerading as one
Howell can have the next three hitters and then Bradford or Balfour should face Bay.

I'm hoping Chad.

At this point they need to deplete the bullpen tonight
let them pitch to their strengths. They have some two days of rest coming..
Finally a good move
Potentially anyway
5 more outs Tampa to send notsoB deR xoS home
May The Red Sox and all their fans get food poisoning and all collectively crap their pants
UNJINX!

Tomato, basil, cheese.

My dinner was disgusting.
Leftover fish, cookies and chips/salsa. Waves of nausea ever since.

It's earlier than I expected Howell to be pulled,
because Drew is on deck and that’s not a good matchup for Bradford. So I’m wondering if yet another lefty would face Drew (Miller or Price) and then Balfour…Personally, if the same pitcher is going to face Youk and Drew, I’d prefer Howell face both than Bradford face both. But I have to see what Maddon is doing before I can agree or disagree. At least he has the right matchup now.

Does this mean Miller for Drew?
I’m not sure about this.
