If only the Sox could beat up Halladay like this when he was in Toronto. :shock:
actually he was only 14-14 against the sox with an era at 4.28 coming into the game today...not overly dominating numbers by any stretch of the imagination.

If you look at career numbers, there are a lot of injury related years in there ... the last two years, he killed the Sox.
But hey, if you want to lessen the blow of this statement backfiring ... go nuts ...

lol...i dunno man. when your team's own beat writer says the sox have had a decent amount of success against him, i gotta believe it. the yankee's, he's killed. the sox, not so much. era in the mid 4's... http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/red_sox/
Really, though, the Red Sox usually had at least a degree of success against Halladay when he was mowing down hitters for the Blue Jays, and that trend continued here today. The Sox scored seven runs against Halladay, six of which were earned, and knocked him out of the game after only 5-2/3 innings, his shortest outing since last Aug. 19, also against the Red Sox, at Fenway Park. In 42 games (39 starts) against the Red Sox, Halladay has allowed 134 earned runs in 275 innings for a 4.39 ERA. His record against the Red Sox: A pedestrian 14-15.

yeah I didn't even check if extra innings had nesn tonight, figured you would be watching that if they did.
Very true, I was impressed with the conversation. Definitely know what he is doing. Not to take anything away from him, well maybe a little but they have had many many many top picks. Made some great choices and that longoria contract is by far the best contract in baseball

The tide is turning.
If the Sox can win one out of the next two that would be huge.
The next 14 games are against weak teams.
Oakland being the only club over .500 in that stretch.
JimEd, I may have to take back what I said about Ortiz back in early April. I hope he can come close to keeping up what he's done in May for the rest of the season.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

You may have to take back??? ha ha ... you wanted him gone 3 games into the season.
Again, it all starts with him thinking opposite field ... his first few homers were over the wall ... his double last night to drive in the only 2 runs of the game, oppo.
Scouts are saying his hands are noticably faster on inside pitches now. Pitchers will adjust .... but, he's certainly come around. I won't say I wasn't worried (he really looked awful) ... but had a feeling the slack would not be as long this year.
It's the pitching and defense, you know the thing they built this team around :? , that's what has to improve ... and for a little more than one trip through the rotation.

I pretty much wrote off Ortiz again this season, but he's proven me wrong again. He did really look awful in April.

In typical Sox fan fashion, I hit the panic button a the first sign o trouble. In my defense, Ortiz looked very bad in spring training as well.

But, if indeed the Sox do win ... their past week
2 games @ Yankees Stadium
2 games @ home vs a very tough Twins team
3 games @ Citizen Bank Ball park.
5 - 2 ... a pretty good week ... and, Ellsbury is back.
Oh, and let's not forget, the fisrt game of the week was that horrible loss to the Yankees ... so, they responded by going 5 - 1 after that loss.

Over the last two years, he's had nine starts and an ERA under 2.50 and he's held Sox batters under .225

no.
close though...with a selective sample size.
against boston he had a 2.79 era last year...2.59 era in 08...but toss in his 6.92 era in '07 and that gives him 3.29 for the past 3 years.
you're right though. the last two years he was pretty damn good!
overall---about average vs boston.
I'm happy.
The end.

Ortiz, last 30 days ...

as well you should be...even if you downplayed it by comparing it to a series against the royals last week.
are you pulling for the Sox in this game?
"I don't believe in damn curses. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I'll drill him in the ass." --- Pedro Martinez
good question, been trying to figure that out all day. I have yet to come up with an answer.
You watching on espn or extra innings? Espn has freidman, the rays gm in the booth, impressive guy
Anyone who has built this Rays team is certainly impressive.

2 Homers (one was practically on one knee!) ... and a triple. Nice, as the Sox usually struggle against Garza.
Lackey was far from sharp, but, the Rays are a tough team to pitch against.
oh yeah ... and Ortiz, went deep again.
Looks like the sweep of the Rays is complete.
