Hmm, glad I found this thread!

Driving to Houston tonday for the Orioles game! I decided to pay a little extra and I got front row seats right by the O's dugout. I'm so pumped.

Anyway...thought y'all should know.

Sox hang 17 on the Rangers! Most runs scored in the MLB belongs in Boston!

What a game! Feel the sox came out tonight with a great gameplan...was pumped to see Jackie get his first big league bomb! Nava really is making me want to trade Gomes, although his bat off bench and veteran leadership is nice..also, is there anything jose Iglesias can't do?!

Damn, just found this thread. Token, I was there for my birthday and on the Jumbotron as well. Though in the background. They didn't want a Sox jersey front and center. I had a great time. I don't think the mfy fans around me had such a great time.

ARod's statement:

quote:
"Myself and others are being mentioned in a media report before the process is even concluded," Rodriguez said in a statement. "I would hope this thing would follow the guidelines of our Basic Agreement. I will monitor the situation and comment when appropriate.

"As I have said previously, I am working out every day to get back on the field and help theYankees win a championship. I am down here doing my job and working hard and will continue to do so until I'm back playing."



That is the most damning statement I've ever seen! He is guilty as hell and he knows they have evidence.

Sox split the double header yesterday, breaking a 9 game losing streak vs the Halos. (Yeah, that streak surprised me too).

Buchholz improves to 9 - 0!!! Best record in the AL.

Also, this is the AL East thread so I am going to blow our leagues horn a little:

Thanks to the performance of the AL East beasts, Sox and Jays, we no longer have to hear about the FPTR anymore!!!

Rejoice! The universe is back in balance!!!!

Drew makes a great diving grab to force out the runner at second! Ends the inning with the bases loaded!

BTW - Hamilton is 8 for 70 this year with RISP! (he didn't hit the force out. He was out number 1.)

Salty with a 3 run jack an inning later! The guy who caught Carp's HR caught this home run from Salty! What are the odds of catching 2 HR's in one game!

Carp has been a real nice surprise...it'd be nice if he could maintain this production the rest of the way!
Nelson Mandela

It'd be nice if they got just 75% of his current production the rest of the way. Being a part time player, it's reasonable to expect a dropoff. Victorino will be back in the lineup most days and Nava has been even better than carp so he won't sit much.

Good problem to have though with injury-prone guys like ellsbury and victorino. Carp will no doubt be asked to fill in at another point this season.

Middlebrooks is back in the lineup tonight hitting 8th I believe, and Ciricao, out of options, was DFA'd...They believe he'll clear waivers..
Nelson Mandela

i like ciriaco's story (he raked against the nyy last year) but he wasn't hitting much in limited ABs this year and his fielding was horrendous (7 errors in what roughly amounted to 15 full games)

Iglesias has proven capable of hitting MLB pitching (i know he won't keep up this ridiculous pace and his BaBIP is something crazy like .502 when the league avg is .297) and is vastly superior with the glove.

as long as they are able to get him 2-3 starts per week (he should definitely be starting at short every time the sox see a lefty), I think it'll be more beneficial to him and the team to have him play the utility role as opposed to playing everyday in AAA

Lackey gets out of a bases loaded jam in the third, giving up only one after having the bases loaded with only one out.

Sox up 6 - 3.

That was NOT a strike!!!!! Pedey called on a way outside pitch to end the top of the 11th with Ellsbury on third.

Lobaton was sitting on the outside corner, and Farnsworth threw it right there. It was close enough for Pedroia not to ignore it.
