    We could have very easily lost that game last night

    Papelbon did his job along with the outfield

    It was a close one fer sure

    for once, I'd really like to see Papelbon work a 1-2-3 inning ... walking A-rod wasn't the worst move though.

    I don't think the problem is that David ortiz took steroids .... I think the problem is that he's NOT 33 or 34 years old as he claims .... this is more the sudden decline of a 39 or 40 year old .... THAT'S what I think the problem is ...

    he's lied about his age once before .... changed his name once before (he was David Arias at one point) .... I tihnk there's the issue.


    I don't think it was a case of changing his name, more like David Ortiz ate David Arias....he was 160 pounds back then

    I have to give Sox fans credit...it takes a special fan to chant You Did Steroids at ARod, while your Incredible Shrinking Slugger is hitting .196 with 3 HR's, and your biggest star since Ted Williams Head is serving a suspension for steroids out in LA...Bravo!

    You're having a tough time with the 7-0, huh? Or should I say ARod's 0-7?


    I would be if they were 5 back. Boston has always been home to the June Championship. My problem lies with hypocrisy...mocking ARod's steroid use (I can't stand arod, he deserves everything he gets) and then 5 minutes later giving a standing ovation to a guy who has 3 HR's to go with his .196 average, who everyone knows juiced too. You're giving him a standing O for his 57 steroid addled HR's and the 2 titles he won with Manny, who is currentlly suspended for cheating. Christ, even Bill Simmons wrote a piece about hwo the entire 2004 team has links to steroids

    You DO realize it's all done in fun, right?

    So far the weather seems to be holding up for tonight's game at Fenway... Yay!!! I must say, that Eddie gave Theo some good advice about signing Jason Bay last year after the Manny fiasco... :D I really do like him a lot... a real gentlemen and just an all around good ball player...

    Wish you were here...

    I believe the fans are giving Ortiz those standing ovation more as a motivational tool than anything else. They love him whether he took anything or nothing. They want to see him get out of this slump and help the team which I think he will. It's good now that this decline is seen so future moves can be made to make changes to better the club.


    Peace

    When I say "back", I am hoping .260 25-90 by year's end ... I'm not ridiculously thinking he's going to hit 40-50 bombs.

    It's been a rough 21st Century for the Yanks.

    Can't wait to see the Sox and Phils this weekend!

    If rough is 3 penannts and 1 WS title, sign me up. That's a century for Boston

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that world series title was in 2000. Centuries start in years ending in 01. Unless we start counting now from the number 0 instead of 1.

    I mean it's been 1.5 billion since your last title. That sounds pretty rough to me.

    Your going to Philly this weekend? Dang you are one lucky person ;) BTW, how did you like Fenway???

    I actually live in Philly. Nothingman44 flew down from Providence and we went to the EV show tonight and will be going again tomorrow and then we're hitting the Red Sox Phillies games on Saturday and Sunday.

    There were a lot of Red Sox jerseys and hats at the Tower tonight. It seems like Red Sox Nation invaded Philly a little early because of EV.

    Been a great series so far. The Phils fans have been pretty gracious to the Sox fans. They boo us when we cheer, but every one I've talked to has admitted they don't hate sox fans and respect our hatred of New York. Two Phils fans bought me and nothingman44 a couple beers at the game on saturday and a couple more bought us beers at the bar we went to after the game. I have to say the Phils fans have been class acts all weekend.
