Haha
It’s good-natured, though. Not like when he gets all pissy about a bad call.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!

if the pussy-magnet can get a hit
it will be the second consecutive game that every player in the starting lineup reached base via a hit.
i’m gonna guess that that doesn’t happen very often.

Thome 7 Ks in 15 ABs vs this clown.
Time to show Walker and Dotel the door.
Must forget.
Time to show Walker and Dotel the door.
there may be a day when Thome strikes out against this clown
but it shall not be this day.
Is it still the fourth inning?
How could he walk him?

jurrjens no hitting philly through 6 innings.
but he has thrown 89 pitches. doubt he can go the distance, but impressive.
brian anderson would've caught that...
Yeah. It sucks.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch games like this
Cole Hamels gave up loads of runs and the Phils offense is dead.

to quote the Savior
"Thome in full sprint doesn’t happen much"
so why send him on that play?

Why would Cox send Thome? What is his thing about sending the slow guys??!

You bet
I love watching Thome run. It’s like he’s running hard yet gently, so as to not crush any of God’s creatures that may happen to be lying in the dirt/grass beneath his feet.
IF I RUNNED FASTER I WOU
WOULD HAVE KILLED THAT CADYPILLER

so i got my buddy on $10/point on the vegas preseason o/v of 85.5 for the indians. that's looking like a nice winner.
Cashing checks and having sex.
yeah, .500 ball from here on out makes that bet nice.
got the under on the d-backs at 86.5 too.

luck, gut, or educated guess?

a little bit of everything, i guess. i had serious doubts that pitching staff could win.
Cashing checks and having sex.
life-stuff prevented me from paying attention at the time but
wasn’t cleveland considered a favorite going into the season? or am i totally off here? if the former— love it that you went against the conventional wisdom. nice job.
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on Jul 1, 2009 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah, i believe they were the preseason favorite.
we’ve got bets on 9 teams. those 2 just happen to be pretty good for me. i sure didn’t see the indians being this bad.
Cashing checks and having sex.
count, thornton, or (shudder) linebrink?
2 switch hitters, 2 lefties coming up.
brian anderson would've caught that...
just occurred to me that we already knew Beckham could hit AAA pitching
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
Cliff Lee isn't AAA...
He has hit off some good pitching too, no need to short change him.

makes me wish there was some sort of a minor league thread around here where i could follow the sox minor leaguers.
or even a whole other site that was like a machine that would provide information on the sox. more of a grassroots, 1-man operation.

could there be such a place?

so, who pitches the 9th?
i’m thinking linebrink, then jenks for the save.
brian anderson would've caught that...
he pitched so well when i was at the game!!
maybe he turned it around?
maybe…

Yeah, so Beckham's OPS with RISP coming into tonight was 1.315.
It is my understanding that that is … good.
