I love having a sub-.200 DH
Other than that, it’s tasty.

well, swish is normally in the #2 slot when aj is on the bench
but outside of the management or JR, i trust ozzie!
by onlysoxfaninboston on Sep 7, 2008 12:36 PM CDT up reply actions
At least he can defend.
A DH is actually supposed to hit. That’s all he does. No chance to redeem himself in the field.
I think BA has acquitted himself fairly well in the #2 spot.

really? eh, in the end, its minor
aj needs the rest, so does jr. i would be pissed if JO was in line-up. i’m picking fields to step up today
by onlysoxfaninboston on Sep 7, 2008 12:39 PM CDT up reply actions
they had a 15 inning match last night
thome can’t play today, do you want dewayne hey hey hey wise to dh, or someone who historically has done alright against lefties and will bat against a struggling lefty today?
by onlysoxfaninboston on Sep 7, 2008 12:44 PM CDT up reply actions
i think he wants him to swing the fucking bat.
which is think is a reasonable request.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(Q!)geois
sure, but who else would you put in?
by onlysoxfaninboston on Sep 7, 2008 12:46 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, that's the point...
I like Fields in the lineup against a lefty. But please stop taking backwards K’s.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
saunders doesn't walk people. it's going to be tough for him to "step up today" if he's not swinging.
fields’ line v saunders: 2b, 2 Ks. if he does that today, i’ll be fine with it.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(Q!)geois
Anderson's beastly small sample size .600 SLG in 65 AB's against lefties...
is probably why he is there. All of Anderson’s homers (7) have been against lefties.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
should probably be flipped with ramirez, if that's the case.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(Q!)geois
toss up
which pitcher struggling with increased innings will suck less?
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(Q!)geois
Saunders at least was decent last outing.
Danks has yet to right the ship, but he’s home. Tough call. Above my pay grade.

by SSH2005 on Aug 6, 2008 1:08 AM EDT
got some luck but true.
i call this one an actual toss-up. pessimistic about danks but saunders doesn’t look much better. maybe i lean towards saunders but that’s probably because i didn’t actually watch his outings.

too old
I like bands like my women, young and lithe. I can’t listen to bands with members older than me. I’m listening to Ladytron at the moment – you heard of them?
Sox fan from England, marching on together
yeah dude
i’ve seen them a couple times, and i like them a lot. its different for me, i don’t know, its difficult for me to get into newer bands. i like the older bands who don’t have to grind anymore, that make art for the sake of making it. the recent artists i like are MIA, Matmos, and grizzly bear
by onlysoxfaninboston on Sep 7, 2008 1:07 PM CDT up reply actions
0-3 for me, osfib. All I can say is "Who dat?"
How “old” are the older bands? Are you going all the way back to the mid-’90’s? Or the Stone Age of the ’70’s-’80’s?

and i hope i didn't sound like the young idealistic dweeb there
i think most artists would like to make art as a full time occupation, but that’s not possible. most of the older bands i like probably have full time gigs on the side but still make music on their own terms

Am I wrong for enjoying this news?
Tom Brady hurt his left knee Sunday, and was forced to leave Sunday’s game. His return is questionable.
Brady’s leg bent backwards awkwardly as he was hit while throwing. He was able to walk off the field and down a flight of stairs to the locker room, which is a decent sign, but the hit was ugly. Randy Moss, incidentally, lost a fumble without being hit on the play. Matt Cassel is in the game.
Sick of Boston fans.

the outcome of this game is less important than how danks pitches. this is the test. if he can't pitch well, they have to skip him next time out. and that means broadway and richard as your backend for the stretch against. ouch.

Outcome = Only 1 game
Danks sucking = 4-5 more games. I agree.

this game is going to be a touch problematic.
ideally, you don’t want to push danks, no matter how he looks/does. but that bullpen was taxed last night and you’d be going to crap if you pull him early. hope for a blowout, i guess.

Good thing he didn't have that extra bucket of fried chicken last night...

Morneau got to 2B on an error and then Buscher drives him home with, you guessed it, two outs.

I couldn't believe Dye wasn't even in the picture...
How close was he playing to the line?

Vlad steals 3B...
That’s pretty sad.
I think a lineup of nine Ryan Theriot’s would destroy Pierzynski and the Sox.

Yeah, Hall is in there...
and his arm is actually better than our starter’s, right?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
It's a wash
But Hall tends to get the cushier assignments.
Danks has actually been horrible holding runners for a lefty. They’ve stolen 20 bases off him, and only seven off Javy.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

Pierzynski would probably need the A's rotation to look good...
