Originally posted by djstopngo When the Sox brought Delcarmen in early I called my friend in Boston and said "you know what this means, right?" and he said, "Yeah, if the game goes into extras Tito will have to bring in Gagne." My buddies and I have made plans to kidnap his son, Maddox Gagne, and hold him hostage with the terms being that we'll release him if and only if Gagne cuts off his pitching arm before the start of game 3. Dice-K followed by Wake, I'm very worried.

Westbrook pitched well against the yankees until the 5th or 6th inning when the yankees Tee'd off on him. So, you never know. Although, i understand your concern, especially with wakefield. he's either hit or miss.

Apparently a new law has been passed in Red Sox Nation that Eric Gagne can only be referred to as Eric Gagme.

I swear, if Javier Lopez started that inning instead of Gagne, he would have gotten a 1-2-3 inning. Not only does Gagne suck, I'm really starting to believe that he brings bad karma to whoever has to mop his mess.

I didn't see the point in this trade when the Red Sox made it (They needed a bat more than they needed another guy for the bullpen), but I didn't really expect him to backfire in Biblical proportions.

edit: and yes, I LOLed hard when I saw them bring out Gagne.

Because I'm the stadium nut around TA, I just had to say this:

Yanks get to finally play at Pittsburgh/PNC Park (June 24 - 26) and Houston/Minute Maid Park (June 13 - June 15) for their road interleague games

Red Sox get to finally play at Cincy/Great American Ballpark (June 13 - June 15)and Houston/Minute Maid Park (June 27 - June 29) for their road interleague games.

(I've been tracking schedules for next season since september so I can see which stadiums I can hit next year. Yes I'm nuts, but most of the TAs who know me in person aren't surprised at all )

Who could have predicted that Kenny Lofton would be so vital to the indians.

Bad move starting wakefield. This is the pivotal game, and Beckett has shown he can go on short rest. He pitched 3 times in the win over the yankees in the world series back in whatever year that was. I would be pissed if i was a sox fan. You have the friggin Cy Young winner who has been mowind teams down for the entire year, and he's sitting for the most important game of the series.

Yes, it would be optimal to start Beckett and then have him on regular rest for Game 7 but the sox are juggling a lot of other factors. For one, they think it's extremely important to have Schilling and Dice-K pitch on extended rest. The Sox only need to win one game to regain home field and they feel that Beckett, on regular rest, will be more effective while at the same time making Schilling and Dice-K more effective if the series goes that far. They also want Beckett on the mound, in Cleveland, if the sox are facing elimination. That would be the most important game of the series.

If wake pitches well Theo and Tito will look like geniuses. If not, the pundits will have a field day. I'm excited.

yeah, they're going to have one helluva field day.

Damn that was impressive, 3 HR in a row. Although the display by manny after his HR is precisely the reason i hate him. He should take a page from Ortiz's book, he is a classy player.

It's funny how there are members of the media in Tampa camped out at Legends Field and at Boss' mansion. It's like they're waiting for a new Pope to be selected or something.

Funny... that's precisely the reason why I love Manny.

Mark from Philly offers an inspiring defense for Manny's home run preening: "When Manny went deep, my first thought was, 'Quit posing, Manny, we're still down 7-3.' Then it dawned on me that Manny probably had no idea what the score was. In fact, he probably isn't aware that baseball games are determined by which team scores more runs. Manny's only point of differentiation comes when, after hitting a home run, he sees his teammates waiting for him at home plate -- it's at that point he knows it's time to go to the strip club."

HAHAHAHA.....that's not only funny, but there's also probably some truth to that.

the Torre Era is over
it's Joe no mo, as he flew down to Tampa to turn down a 1-year deal

that shit was staged so he could leave with the appearance that he was walking away. But i'm happy about this.

Now, hopefully mo stops crying like a little bitch and just signs. i just hope cashman doesn't offer him more than 5 mill a year and for no longer than 3 years.

EXACTLY. I love Manny more than I've loved any player since I started watching baseball. He's a rare human being.



"We want Alex."

How can you not love this guy?

Boston sure as hell knows how to make a series exciting. I didn't watch tonights game but you can bet your ass i'll be watching tomorrows game. wouldn't it be nice if beckett was out there? i'm sure he'll be ready in the pen.

I've always had a real bad attitude towards Manny until recently...I've done a complete 180...Now I think the dude is great...A real personality rather than the miserable bastid I always thought he was...Up until recently he avoided media attention like the plague and now you can't shut the guy up....Go Manny....

THe above is why i hate manny. while he's not necessarily wrong, his friggin job is to play baseball as well as he can and to try and make the world series. People with "real jobs" can't get away with bullshit attitudes like that.

EDIT: sorry about embedding the video, apparently it fucks up the page script.
