[groton]

I hope so. A healthy rotation will give it a boost soon anyways.

yeah the way I see you toss the two games in Japan as just Spring training games that count.

look how Dice K and Lester pitched once they got back to the states, really the bullpen will get better as the season goes bullpens seem to work that way dude

[SoRight24]

Okay, lets wipe that game yesterday out of our memory.

Need to get a W today!

He's a flyball pitcher. He'll give up around 30 a year, just the way the throws. I'm sure he'll have an alright year. 10-14 wins with a sub-par ERA.

I tell you, it never gets old," Youkilis said. "This is my third Opening Day with the Red Sox and I've had two ring ceremonies. Hopefully in the future we get these every year. It's great to get these rings. Great to win a ballgame. Now we get to sit back and just play baseball."


Apparently Mr. Youkilis is only good at taking walks and growing disgusting facial hair. Clearly he can't count.

2005 - ring ceremony

2008 - ring ceremony

Oh yeah, someone should tell him it's 4 ceremonies in 90 years so don't count on one every year.

wang is pitching out of his gourd tonight. timlin usually owns the yankees, that was surprising. but how about cano and ortiz. talk about ginormous droughts.

[thebestauntie]

Manny is still not looking great either. I can't believe the one bright spot on the Red Sox's offense is Nancy Drew!! How bad does that make it really?

[thehoss]

id be more worried about ortiz. he drives that team on his back. manny will get his 30 100 100 , but ortiz is supposed to be healthy right now.

[smeritt]

I don't think he has been healthy since august last year.

[thebestauntie]

I am worried about Ortiz. I think his knee is bothering him more than he's letting on and it's affecting his stance. He is the heart and soul of this team, he needs to find a way to get it back. And soon.

[thebestauntie]

I'm also worried about the stupid bullpen! :BANG :BANG :BANG

[thehoss]

your bullpen has been awful tonight too. after okajima, and pap, theres not much.

[thebestauntie]

It's been that way from the start this year. Weak bullpen - for middle relief.

I saw on TV they went over his stance and it definitely looks like he's favoring (or specifically not favoring) his right knee when he swings.

Didn't he have surgery on that knee in the off-season to fix whatever was wrong with it?

[rickyh24]

Didn't he have surgery on that knee in the off-season to fix whatever was wrong with it?

Yes. I really don't think he has fully recovered.

[malarks26]

Yes. I really don't think he has fully recovered.

What was wrong with the knee in the first place last season? Partial ligament tears or what?

[rickyh24]

What was wrong with the knee in the first place last season? Partial ligament tears or what?

They said it was a Cartilage Problem. He had the operation in November so it hasn't been that long really.

his japan numbers say otherwise

[rickyh24]

his japan numbers say otherwise

really? He had an era over 4 two times as a reliever in 8 seasons. 63 k's in 54 innings his last year there.


http://www.japanesebaseball.com/players/player.jsp?PlayerID=202

They don't look too bad to me. I'm sure he works a lot harder being in an MLB system. Hes only going to get better.

[crashintome202]

japans like AAA-AAAA. as you know, MLB is much harder. his numbers have been much better here and theres no way he'll end up with a career era under his japan one. he's 32 right now and only getting older, i cant see why he'd get better.

He cant get any better than he is throwing right now. I was trying to point out that once he arrived here I'm sure he worked out a lot harder and the coaching is obviously going to help him more here. He has an ERA just over 2.00 after 74 innings of work (hes a great pitcher). If he was in pinstripes I'm sure your view on this would be a lot different.

[crashintome202]

not at all. im always trying to point out flukes. i havent been around here long enough but i was all over aaron small and chacon when they were pitching great a few years ago. same with bruney last year

I think it has to do with how unimpressively we won. The bullpen is shaky and Papi's lack of performance is a bit disturbing. To me it feels like we won on a fluke, except for yesterday, but even then it seemed like the bullpen might lose it again. Not exactly cause for celebration.

However, I am certainly happy that they did manage to take 2 out 3 from your guys. :thumbsup

Well the fact that we took two out of three without Papi makes it that much better IMO.

and they were just outmatched by Paps in game 2 that win was impressive.

[scrock25]

^ I stopped blowing loads when we beat the Yankees a while ago. It happens too often now.

Oh? You got by us once in the playoffs and did something that won't happen again for a long time while doing it, got hot at the right time and won a WS, good job! Seriously, good job...I'd take it any day of the week.

[thebestauntie]

Well the fact that we took two out of three without Papi makes it that much better IMO.

Yes indeed, Paps was impressive on Saturday night, I just meant as a whole for the bullpen. Paps can't come in every game, and he shouldn't have to, but it's feeling that way.

[scrock25]

Well the fact that we took two out of three without Papi makes it that much better IMO.

Impressive? You think so?? Nobody did anything against MUSSINA except for Ramirez.

That shouldn't have even happened either because Girardi made a bone-headed decision.

And last night?? Your boy from Japan looked almost as bad as Hughes but got let off the hook by our hitters. The game was decided by that first inning.

It was enough, and Paps shut every down he faced. It was impressive watching him sit down A-rod on 3 pitches with the game on the line I know that.

Ok, and that's what he does, what the fans and his team mates expect him to do. It's something I've seen him do to Yankee hitters since he started closing and something I've seen Mo do to Red Sox hitters on many occasions too.

It could have gone 2-1 either way, and neither team looked all that great all weekend.

Wang was fantastic on Friday, Man-Ram and Papelscrew were good on Saturday, and both teams looked like garbage on Sunday.

I said plenty of times, not all the time baggadouche.

Remember that time last year when A-Rod went deep on Paps to win the game in Boston?

He's got more saves against them than blown saves, people just remember the blown saves more obviously.

Horrible point.

I just find it fun. Especially at a place like Hartford. Its packed with Sox and Yankees fans, I think I just like how its more random than anything else.

[rickyh24]

I just find it funny when I'm pissing at a urinal and then all of the sudden a Red Sox or Yankees suck chant starts out of nowheres, while I'm at a DMB show.

[milo420dmb]

thats true, it can be fun....the walk into Hartford this past summer was fun with all the chants...i guess i am not for them IN the show..

[rickyh24]

for sure, in the show they suck. I hate that too.

Once the lights go out it should be all about the band you are seeing.

[Lcsulla]

Ortiz is going deep tonight.

I find it slightly ironic that someone buried an Ortiz jersey in the concrete of the new stadium to 'curse' the Yankees and it appears that it is Ortiz who got the shit end of it..

:thumbsup :thumbsup Amen to that. I hate when when some Natty Light soaked douche bag slurs his best "yankees suck" while I'm trying to listen to the dave speak!

Who needs Ortiz when you have JD Drew... :eek

Hush your mouth!!! :eek this too shall pass :cool

[LaDude]

Ortizzle is fine. You know when he snaps out of it he is going to go something like 10 for 15 with 4 HRs and 12 RBIs.

[SoRight24]

Papi had surgery in the offseason, he's had to change his stance, it'll take him a while to get back into form.

[ProudestAnt]

Papi had surgery in the offseason, he's had to change his stance, it'll take him a while to get back into form. Why would he have to change his stance just because he had surgery?

[SoRight24]

Why would he have to change his stance just because he had surgery?

Because he said he changed it?

[thebestauntie]

Oritz got a hit!!

[DavefaninNZ]

That goes into the thread "lines you'll never hear uttered in sports"

:lol:lol

[smeritt]

Papi just fanned on 3 straight fastballs something is not right.

[dowling25]

Ha ha I liked his hit in the 9th....what a stud I must say.

Wow what a game! I loved Manny crushing that ball I was going ape shit.

[rickyh24]

Manny is the Man....

[rickyh24]

Hopefully last night was the turning point for Ortiz.


Lowrie will make his debut tonight

[Hudak-Budak]

Question - when Joe Borowski comes in, do you guys feel as much joy as us Indians fans feel dread?

[rickyh24]

^ :lol


Yes.

[SoRight24]

Manny. :hump

[rickyh24]

^ Mr. Clutch

[Hudak-Budak]

^ :lol


Yes.

I figured.

[dowling25]

Papi still didn't look that good at the plate in my opinion. He got two little doinkers for hits.

Every little bit helps at this point.

[thebestauntie]

Anybody else impressed with Casey at first base? I don't know anything about him and where he came from, but he's been decent both in the field and at bat.

I have followed him for a while since he played on the Reds with Griffey for a while. I think he will be a pleasant surprise this year.

He has always been a decent bat with a + glove LA :)

Redsox last nights win was good

Manny is Clutch and Ortiz getting 2 hits not great looking hits but nice hits.

[rickyh24]

^ One of his hits kept the inning going for Manny too. It was a big hit even though it was a little blooper.

Papi's hits can't be overlooked. Little bloopers or not, a hit is a hit and everything counts when someone is in a slump. Plus, like Ricky said, one of the hits kept the inning alive for Manny.

[dowling25]

you are correct about a hit being a hit....but I would rather see papi driving the ball for hits right now which would be a better sign to me.

[jmudmbphan]

hits a hit, and any kind of hit can help shake a slump. however, those hits were pathetic and shouldnt be a signal that he is nearing the end of this slump

[rickyh24]

True, but the batting average did go up, and he got on base. Which is a start. The second hit was big blooper or not. If he would have got out Manny would not have had the opportunity he had.

[rickyh24]

fucking Bruins......

[rickyh24]

I didn't want to watch the Sox anyways :BANG :BANG

[rickyh24]

pheww I found it...

[rickyh24]

Hey look Ortiz grounded into a double play :BANG :BANG

[rickyh24]

I think its about time to put Manny in the number 3 spot.....seriously....

[rickyh24]

Wakefield should just put it on a tee......His pitches look so damn easy to hit sometimes.

[SoRight24]

Wakefield should just put it on a tee......His pitches look so damn easy to hit sometimes.

He is done after this year.

[rickyh24]

Lowrie has impressed me so far....He hasn't done much but he just started a key double play with the bases loaded and he beat out a double play ball which resulted in our only run so far.

[rickyh24]

He is done after this year.

Hes has a couple good strike outs today but when he gets runners on it seems like he just puts it over the plate lately.

[devilandthelord]

Question - when Joe Borowski comes in, do you guys feel as much joy as us Indians fans feel dread?


:lol , Hudak.

But very sad at the same time. :lorraine

Well he's gone for a little while at least.

[thebestauntie]

I officially want to have Lowrie's children.

[dowling25]

david ortiz is fucked up!

[rickyh24]

david ortiz is fucked up!

yeah it sucks....at least were getting by.

[groton]

well we won again :)

Yankees Next two games

[rickyh24]

^ Hopefully we will be sending them to last place in the next two days.

[groton]

that would be great dude

[LaDude]

Tonight's game is going to be a good one. Hopefully we can get to Wang this time around. Buchholz pitched well last time out.

I just want to see what Hank Steinbrenner will do if the Sox win 4 of 5 in a week! The guy just had his new stadium ripped up to find a Sox jersey! I love how he has a short fuse! :D

[chr35919]

bucholtz looks just like the drug dealer...spitting image. :lol

That's the same actor that played in "The Girl Next Door" and "HBO's Deadwood" isn't it??

[chr35919]

That's the same actor that played in "The Girl Next Door" and "HBO's Deadwood" isn't it??no idea, but do you think he looks like buccholz at all?

edit: and if you haven't seen Go, it's a good one. looks at one night from 4 or 5 perspectives...literally. i don't know how to explain it online :lol

[chr35919]

buccholz is on one of my fantasy teams:

17.18 era tonight :eek

[rickyh24]

^ Well I have Wang so I am not looking too much better.....

[rickyh24]

Go Sean Casey!

[rickyh24]

Clay definitely looks like that dude from Go to.
