Francona: Manny, grab a bat
Manny: No hablos englais
I spat out the water I was drinking when I read that, good one Steven. I’m really glad the entire offense is already back in Boston.
Atta boy Jed, too bad Varitek is absolutely useless.
yup absolutely useless, just like crisp
guess the reverse jinx only works once
wow Pap is a gold glover. Here’s where we lose the game. Someone always scores on Pap if he’s on base with no outs. I bet he’ll steal, then score on a bloop hit to right.
That’s game, unlike the Red Sox, the Mariners actually know how to hit a sac fly.
WHEW
Yeah Paps, Yeah! Now SCORE SOME GODDAMN RUNS!!!!
what a joke, we MUST score now
YEAH LOWELL!
Thank you, Mikey Lowell!
Does Pap come back out or what?
And OH shit…Fragile Drew looks hurt again.
Roth: You just had to ask didn’t you?
Now we got Hansen…
I hope you’re happy.
What’s up with Drew? Is he hurt?
Hansen will actually let the winning run get to the plate. I feel unwell.
Throw a God damned strike! Do you know how to throw a God damned strike Craig Hansen?
You got fucking lucky Craig. You’re fucking lucky Youk and Dusty are there.
ship his worthless ass to Portland, and get Moss tonight !
Craig Hansen must be traded, NOW. I still think he’d dominate the NL (like Romero) let’s ship him to the pirates for Marte.
I think Hansen’s trade value takes a big hit every time he toes the rubber. I’d be happy if we could trade him for a bag of Giambi’s moustache clippings. We could sprinkle them in Lugo’s jockstrap and, well, LOOK OUT!!
Craig Hansen scares me…
No … let me rephrase that … Craig Hansen with a baseball in his hand donning a Boston Red Sox uni … that scares me
Hero of the Game nominees:
1) Justin MASTERson for his nasty relief work.
2) Francona for coming out to chill Papelbon out before he dished out that doubleplay ball with the runner on 3rd.
3) Papelbon for getting through the jam.
Masterson was amazing. I know it’s only one appearance, but he was a closer in college and he clearly knows what it takes to be a reliever, he should be this year’s Joba for us.
Wow. Sounds like a Yankees ‘Boston Sucks’ session. Scary moments tonight, but:
1. Without Papi or Manny, and with Ichiro scooping up JD’s homer, we won with some clutch hitting. Thank you Mikey, Jacoby, Dustin, etc.
2. Buchholz did not have a bad first inning. In fact he had several good innings. He is getting it.
3. Oki and MDC did their jobs, and Hansen didn’t lose.
4. We swept the freaking series, stopped the bleeding, gained on the Rays, and go to Boston in great shape.
5. Masterson is awesome in relief, long or short.
6. On the field in this road sweep were, count ‘em, 9 Red Sox rookies and near rookies: Ellsbury, Lowrie, Moss, Pedroia, Buchholz, Masterson, Hansen, Lester, MDC . . . did I miss anyone? Sounds like the Rays? We can predict (perhaps wrongly) that the Rays have such a young team they should fade as the season wanes (like Youk and Mikey? Ha!), yet we are merciless about our own young, who just plain stopped our losing streak with 3 consecutive wins.
7. We come home with confidence, and Papi and Manny back in the lineup, Lowrie hitting .300 and playing like he owns SS, our rotation pitching better than ever, a Pen with Masterson ratcheting up, Colon getting through rehab, Jacoby finding ways to get on and make great plays, Pedroia and Youk on fire, JD still hitting, Mikey an RBI machine.
8. By the end of this road trip, 4-5 Red Sox should have +/-20HR, and 6 or 7 starters at +/-.300BA.
9. If we don’t get Marte or whomever, Colon or Buchholz could wind up in the pen for awhile who, with Masterson, should solve the Pen problem for 2008.
In summary. Enjoy it. Rejoice and Halleluia. It all seems to be coming together, finally.
Sorry. #8. I meant “by the end of this home stand”. . . . (and by the end of the next road trip, these #’s will be even better.)
