I see stories about a booze cruise and a couple getting married in a grocery store and a great contest called "guess that ass". Classy site, I see why you're a fan.

As for the Sox ... somewhat of the stinkfest I was expecting against the Dbacks, heck, they even roughed up Ubaldo, oh well ... would be nice to take this last game.

oh, and read that Lowell is likely to go on the DL ... always seems to happen when trade deadlines are coming up ... :x :evil:

jimed, did you call WEEI last night around 1am Eastern last night? Someone named from San Fran called up and was all pissed off about Papelbon. He was a very astute caller, which is why I thought of you, but he was very angry with Papelbon. Was this you?

Like my dad said....what do you expect when you've got a guy who played at Mississippi State trying to take care of your business. I do take solace in the fact that they roughed up Jimenez like no other team had been able to do though. 2.5 games back is damn sure a lot better than 9.5....I was pretty pessimistic at the start but the Sox are gonna be there. Gonna be hell on wheels in the second half if Josh comes back pitching well and the other guys stay healthy

oh, hell no ... I never listen to sports radio. Far too annoying on so many levels.

Appreciate the complement though ("astute").

As for Paps ... yeah, the underlying stats are troubling yet again, still, that was only his second blown save of the season.

I couldn't remember the dude's name, I was kinda drunk last night after that 9th inning debacle. He was talking about Pap's WHIP and how much it sucks this year.

Yeah, there's only so much of that shit I can take.

Drunk + Sox blown save + talk radio = my envisionment of hell.

Pedroia comes up huge ... he probably never wants to leave Denver.

Papelbon on the other hand ....

He had more production last night than Mike Cameron has the entire season.

Making the annual pilgrimage on Wednesday to see a key battle with the Rays. Let's hope they keep up their ways as the Red Sox do theirs.

force-10

DAMN!!!

First Pedroia and now Buchholz! I hope its not serious. He is desperately needed. Our best pitcher!

jimed14

... and now V-Mart ... broken left thumb. Might not go on the DL, but he'll sure miss a few games.

It was the San Francisco Massacre this weekend, the Sox may have taken 2 of 3 but they lost some key players, ugly weekend on that front.

So, if you look at the opening night lineup the Sox put out ...

J. Ellsbury lf
D. Pedroia 2b
V. Martinez c
K. Youkilis 1b
D. Ortiz dh
A. Beltre 3b
J.D. Drew rf
M. Cameron cf
M. Scutaro ss

Only Ortiz and Beltre haven't missed games because of injury ... and several (Ellsbury, Pedroia, Cameron) have missed or will miss significant time.

Let's not forget Beckett and Dice K missing significant time as well ... hopefully Buchholz only misses one start at the worst.

Yet, they dug out of a huge hole are now 15 games over .500 ... how, I have no idea.

JimEd, what hocus pocus does your fair city have on our team that brings the injury bug, jeeeesh. At least they come home to a Rays team that was no hit this weekend and had a blowup between 2 or its top 3 position players in Longo and Bossman Jr.

FenwayFaithful

This injury shit is getting ridiculous. Just really really bad. That's all I have to say.

Wanna feel old? Mike Greenwell's son is a minor leaguer



I'm guessing people in Boston were aware of this, but it's the first I've heard about it: Bo Greenwell -- son of Mike -- is a minor leaguer in the Indians' organization, playing for the Lake County Captians up in Eastlake, Ohio. It's one of those feel-good "what's it like to be the son of a big leaguer" kind of stories, which I always enjoy.

One thing I like to do with those: try and read between the lines of all the glowing quotes to see if the kid is actually a prospect with a shot or if it's the last time we're ever going to hear about him. I thought this one was skewing distinctly in the "he probably won't make it" direction to begin with, but then I was shocked to see the reporter actually got a quote from an anonymous scout basically slamming his speed and arm strength (he said nothing about how his stache matches up to Mike's). I guess that's good reporting -- why make us wonder if you can get the actual dirt? -- but I was rather surprised to see it in what you usually expect to be a fluff piece.

Anyway, the fact that guys who broke into the league when I was a teenager have kids old enough to be major leaguers themselves now is rather sobering.
