Floyd Wins a Snoozer

Thecheatsmoking_tiny by The Cheat on in Recaps Comment 340 comments

The Sox had as many hits against Brian Burres before he recorded an out Wednesday as they did in 8 innings of effort in April. The recap of that game describes a fait accompli, all but over when John Danks lost his perfect game and shutout in the 6th inning. This game had pretty much the same feel, though thankfully with the teams reversed.

Orlando Cabrera led off the game with a bloop double, and Nick Swisher, batting in the #2 hole with AJ Pierzynski getting the night off, hit a HR in the game's second at-bat, to set the tempo for the night. All told, the Sox pounded out 9 extra-base hits on the evening, including 3 by Cabrera, to give themselves a 6-0 lead by the middle of the 4th inning and send the gamethreads into a blissfully sweet slumber.

Looking back at that April recap, the Sox have come a long way from the team "weighed down by three automatic outs at the bottom of the lineup." They've been downright dangerous from 1 through 9 since the addition of their new hitting coach at the deadline. Dare I say, they're even beating up the teams and pitchers you're supposed to bash into last week, the RA Dickeys of the baseball world. They almost look like a playoff team. Almost.

The last 30 games will tell the story.

* * * * *

Swisher left the game after fouling a ball of his leg. The leg was last seen in the mouth a wolf roaming Baltimore's inner harbor on a skateboard*, which is a dangerous place for a skateboarding wolf, dude. It's not known if Swisher's prosthetic leg, fashioned out of a discarded baseball bat (ash, not maple), will be ready in time for tomorrow's game.

* Everyone knows wolves can't ride skateboards. Stupid.

lol, just read this:

“they accepted it (the resignation), it was my call entirely”

no shit? Like a movie star walks into a studio and goes, “I’m not making this film. Films about extra-terrestial dolphins having sex with the Olsen twins are a dying breed, fuck you”

And the guy is like “OK, cya”.

And then the actor reports it was all his decision — uh, thanks.

Jay is that 1% of journalists that is well known enough (and not by any sort of merit)

that can make that decision and not give a fuck about where the next meal will come from. I’m sure with his other deals in TV he has plenty of disposable income.

That said, he’s probably pissed he hasn’t’ gotten the ESPN.com invite yet.

by madvillian on Aug 26, 2008 10:20 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'd like to know what website would be dumb enough to hire him

He’s obviously looking to get out of the newspaper business. I’m sure he’s livid ESPN.com hasn’t come knocking yet. With all the crap he’s said in the past about blogs, it’s going to be hilarious to see him trying to become part of one now.

by El Duque's Raft on Aug 26, 2008 10:26 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

When has hypocrisy stopped him before?

I’m sure plenty of websites would like to hire him, just because he generates controversy, which generates traffic.

I haven't read anything he's written in 3+ years

He doesn't generate controversy

as much as he just spews whatever comes to his mind. He’s not clever nor funny. I just can’t believe that people actually go out of their way to see what his wretched opinion is on topics.

But I don’t think the Sun-Times gave him a 3 year extension because he doesn’t get readers!

The issue isn't whether he's a giant bag of dicks. He is.

But he does generate intense reaction and therefore interest, like it or not. Much like car crashes, bear attacks and SSH.

I have always thought he was actually a good writer too.

Don’t know if this was discussed on another thread but I think Jack Woltz from your Godfather analogy should be Billy Beane, with the horse’s head actually being Faustino DLS’s right arm. Payback for the Billy Koch trade. Andy Gonzalez would be Mary Corleone, worst character in the trilogy = worst player in sox history.

Uh, yea.

Great win that further emphasizes the division is the Sox’ to lose.

On a side note, I think the zeitgeist here has fallen too far into the silly category at the expense of adding new visitors, and it starts from the top down. Groupthink will probably disagree with me by posting pictures of dead animals and spelling fail fial and things.

All that stuff is great for those in the know, not so much for someone googling Sox blogs.

it's a long season, man. i really don't think there are that many subjects that should/need to be addressed on a day-to-day basis.

i don’t think there’s ever been a lack of poignant discussion on any actual news that’s relating to the sox, but i can’t imagine anyone would want this site to pour over the trivial minutiae of every moment of every game. sanity forces us to get a little macro in our approach to a 162 game season. otherwise, we’d all come off like SSH.

I disagree

I’m just a lurker here, but I’ll throw my opinion in as a reader. I love you guys in the comments, but I’ve got two complaints…
1) There’s a lot of self-referential stuff that makes it difficult for somebody new to come in. I read the site daily and sometimes I get lost. *
2) The front page is neglected. It’s been a lot better lately, as most games have a recap (which is awesome!), but when there is breaking news it’s often not posted on the front in a timely manner if at all. You’ve got to go into the last active FP post and scroll half-way down to find out that OMGWTF GRIFFEY?! **

( * ) It amazes me that there are hundreds of comments on each gamethread but there seems to only be a fraction of that in active posters.
( ** ) There are sometimes fanshots, but those rarely have comments and most of the discussion goes on in some random gamethread or thread from another topic.

Just my two-cents, I’ll go back to lurking :)

I would like to thank the sox for winning in such a fashion that I didn't even need to pay attention to know it.

had the radio on very low 2 rooms away while preparing/having people over for dinner, barely heard 3 words in a row, and I still think I have a very good idea how the game went.

I would also like to thank the academy, and the cow that gave up its life for my enjoyment.

from WC at BP

J.D. Drew (15 DXL)
The Red Sox have waited a week to see how Drew’s complex back problem responds—complex because it’s a muscular issue involving muscle spasms with an underlying herniated disc. It’s something of a chicken-and-egg deal; does the disc invoke the muscle problem or did the muscle problem crop up on its own with the disc being asymptomatic? Either way, Drew isn’t making much progress, and while the team would rather not use the DL—especially at this time of the year and with other injuries putting the Red Sox playoff hopes in jeopardy—the team may have to make a tough decision. It would be a retro move, and Drew isn’t expected to miss more than the minimum if they do DL him, but back injuries don’t always respond the way they’re expected to.

swisher fine; back in lineup tomorrow according to ozzie.
“Swisher is fine,” said Guillen of the outfielder, who fouled a ball off of his left leg and suffered a lower leg contusion, causing him to be listed as day-to-day. “He’ll be in the lineup on Wednesday.”

Next year’s BP projections, maybe, will be altered, and we might have a bit stiffer test when we face them next. Yet we still own them. Matters not. We even won Lee’s last start against us.

Completely correct -- apologies to the entire Weathes family for any negative implication in the use of the term "strays".

Oh, and all noises presented with great love and affection, of course — particularly 7. In that vein, here are 3 more:

11. “Lare”. A devastating term, which when used to refer to one’s opponent in any argument, results in the automatic and utterly humiliating defeat of said oppnent. Can technically only be employed by members of Mensa.
12. “Q!”. A solemn and devout prayer to a higher authority.
13. “Clearly”. A term which means exactly what it says. Clearly.

And where is the OPOS?

See, I take slight umbrage in defining “OPOS” as “used by the more ‘elderly’ to refer to younger and faster-moving commenters who offend their delicate sensibilities”. “OPOS” is actually used in 2 different ways:

1. A term describing slow-moving targets of chronologically challenged commenters who do not keep up, either in a technical or philosophical sense, with faster-moving (usually) younger commenters.

2. A term used by slow-moving targets of chronologically challenged commenters that refers to another slow-moving target who is likewise chronologicvally challenged, generally in a manner expressing warmth or affection in a Chicago-Toughness. Rarely able to be interpreted from those not belonging to the same subset.

(And a photoshop of Chiburb.)

You exhibit great creativity, AEG. Now let’s get the definitions straight. You POS.
