I'm so sad

to hear the score. I hope there’s something that sparks them. But I’m ready to go do something else. From the sounds of it, this one’s lost.

I think you'll regret those words

buddy.

he explained it in the thread.

No disrespect, I pronounce it FooKoo, I just didn’t like someone saying “Don’t call him that” without an explanation. But he explained why he likes Dome instead, so it’s cool.

Since I got my

gnome they haven’t played well. Hope he isn’t bad luck.

I don’t like the way the up’s are calling balls and strikes.

yes.

And you don’t want Murton or DeRosa in center.

I guess.

Lot of newbies on here tonight. They don’t get it.

Iwamura flies out to Murton in LF. 1 out.

Not walking him was the key

Dome plays CF now?

Yeah, Edmonds is out. I'm not sure why.

edmonds out?

why? just joined the game. . . can anyone give me a short summary? i’m too lazy to go to prev. threads.

(hello from brazil!)

he's been limping.

Maybe Pie gets called back up sooner than we thought.

IMO we have to DL somebody

If both Johnson and Edmonds are not available tomorrow. Way too short on the bench.

We knew this set of games would be a test... we're not going to glide like we did

but I’m sure we’re going to pull it out even if by sheer grit

or, should that be 11 . . .

Engineer... for undergrad

So that’s a trivia question for y’all

Right across the river from BU

Lots of Red Sox fans around…

I don’t mind the native ones, but the ones that adopt the Sawx after growing up somewhere else bother me.

MUCH Better inning

for Z. Whew.

indeed

we need more like that

CONSPIRACY THEORY

Z threw inferior stuff ON PURPOSE so he could inflate the ERA and miss the All-Star Game consideration, thus preserving his arm for the playoffs! Ah yes it makes so much sense!

you should warn us next time

so i can put on my aluminum foil hat.
