J.D. Drew may be joining Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tim Wakefield, Mike Lowell, David Ortiz and Julio Lugo among the Opening Day contributors to miss significant time this season.
With the Clay Buchholz disaster, Bartolo Colon's ill-advised swings, Jason Varitek's collapse into the end of his career, the vortex of suck out of center field for most of the season and the Manny Ramirez fiasco, it's amazing this team is still in first place for a playoff spot.



G'afternoon, Bill! Thought I was the only one trolling here.

Damnit Youk stop arguing... that was a pretty pitch.

Hey, Ath.
I'll be in and out during the game.
And if Lester's getting that pitch, it'll be a long game for Toronto.

Lester flashing some glove.

EEI is reporting that Beckett will indeed miss the Yankee series, and is slated to start on Friday night instead.
Just to add to the anger of leaving those guys on base just now...
No gamer?

Beckett pushed back? Damnit.

Why anyone in a Boston uniform ever really decides to pitch to Vernon Wells is beyond me. The guy just flat out rakes against the Red Sox. Really. It's just silly.
Leter all over the place this game so far. Jeez.

What sucked about that Brad was that Lester threw a great pitch--a cutter down and in, right on the inside corner. Great piece of hitting by Wells.

Varitek walks? He's reached base the last 6 times he's been at the plate! Holy sweet jumpin moses!

Where's IH when you need him? Barajas nearly castrated via blunt-force trauma there.

Come on Red Sox.
Don't do this to me today. Just get some freaking scoring hits already.
GOD DAMN IT>

Lester lasts 2.1 innings. Sigh.

The f*cking Rays score 4 runs in the 8th because their dumbass manager leaves Vasquez in too long. I hate this team.
Posted by: Atheose | Saturday, August 23, 2008 at 07:18 PM
It was 2-0 Jays, now it's 3-2 Sox on a Pedroia 3-run bomb (with 2 out and thanks to walks by Cora and Crisp, no less).

Devine, wanna help me take over the Yankees gamer? ;-)
Posted by: Atheose | Sunday, August 24, 2008 at 01:56 PM
Now 4-2 on Ortiz double, Youk single.
Posted by: Devine | Sunday, August 24, 2008 at 01:56 PM
Heh, Ath. Ummmm...sorta. Maybe they shoulda made it a combo thread anyway.
What is with all the non-started or late-started game threads recently? I don't mean to complain too much, but it's been kind of an epidemic recently.
Dice, pitch like you want to keep the lead, ya hear?
