Open Thread; Game 1 - A's vs. Red Sox (cont)
by baseballgirl on Mar 25, 2008 5:19 AM PDT
Email
PrintWe head to the seventh inning! Manny ruined Blanton's great start in the sixth with a two-run double, giving the Sox a short-lived 3-2 lead, but Hannahan (Chavez who?) BLASTED a two-run homerun to retake the lead for the A's.
It's 4-3.

Wonder what the bullpen lineup is
Does Brown have the 8th? Casilla? Foulke? Me?
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I don't want to see Foulke...
but, I didn't want to see Ryan Sweeney, either. I guess I have no say.

It was a double play and a weak 1-3
But I still don't think Embree should've been in to face 3 straight righties before Ortiz is up.
Just because it works doesn't mean it's smart.

Ellis is such a stud
In the great NES game RBI baseball from 1986 (to date the most realistic baseball sim), players will randomly be "dialed in" for a full game, where everything they hit is with power. Long story short, Ellis is dialed in.
Except one of the unicorns came up lame on that drive
