Lost 2 of 3 to the Phillies ...aaarrrrgh.

Maybe Houston will be friendlier?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

They been playing like crap,and with all the injures,a built in excuse to lose.
I seen a stat they were 1 for 26 with men on base.
They dumped Cameron all the bench is playing like dog poop,you can't keep bench players that are batting 105.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Time for a reality check with Lackey. Send him down to the PawSox to see if he can get it back or cut our losses by cutting him. The Sox have been more than fair with him and it's time to move on.

RIP Dick Williams,skipper of the Impossible Dream 67 Red Sox, and the beginning of Red Sox Nation.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Now we know Ortiz has no future in the UFC after his baseball career is over.:D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

What happened? Brawl?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yep. Ortiz had issue with the Orioles pitcher Gregg. Punches were thrown (or attempted:D) and benches cleared. Big mess, but it was entertaining and no one was hurt.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I wonder if they will suspend him for the All*Star game.

WWE Superstars make their punches look more realistic.:)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Umpire crew for the Baltimore series just didn't have a clue. There is no way the kid Weiland should have been tossed for throwing a sinker that drifted in and hit the batter accidently. Of course, I think the Sox made out in that the bullpen came in and shut down the frustrated Orioles, but the call was still silly.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

So ... how late did you stay up for the 16 inning marathon Sunday night?
I last 'till midnight and gave up when they couldn't score after loading the bases with no outs.

Great win though.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

That's about when I cut it off as well.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Heading down to Beantown with tics for Saturday's game vs. Seattle. Temps are supposed to be in the 90's .... I may have to drink some $7.50 beer!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

You might get lucky with the weather. There is supposed to be a cold front moving through late Saturday afternoon or evening. It might actually be pleasant at Fenway.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Naa, it was HOT. Still 82 degrees as we were leaving the park at 10:30 PM. Hottest was the subway ride back to the hotel. Didn't matter though, the beer was cold an Beckett was on his game. Always nice to see a victory, (even against the lowley Mariners). KC comes to town tonight and Lester is back on the mound. :)

Gee, I wonder how Drew hurt his shoulder? Maybe he was patting himself on the back for the contract he signed.

Oh my gosh.. did you see Heidi Watney on the tomato karaoke segment? :dr::D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

That was surely worth watching.:D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Looks like Bucholz is out for the rest of the regular season, at least.:td Seems that the Red Sox Docs need to learn how to read an X-Ray. They're the same ones who had Ellsbury all screwed up last year.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Hope we can get him back for the playoffs?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

How about the deal with A-Rod? He could get banned from baseball, underground high stakes poker after he was warned by MLB not to play.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

What a game!!

Never witnessed a walk off HR live -- until tonite!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

David Ortiz, STFU you big A-Hole cry baby :td

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

So, what's Big Poopie whining about now?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

David Ortiz burst into the middle of Sox manager Terry Francona’s press conference in the media room upstairs from the Sox clubhouse, and was running hot about something.

Ortiz said “I’m [bleeping] pissed. We need to have a talk . . . you and me” before the manager and designated hitter agreed to talk about things at a more appropriate time.

Then Ortiz gave away exactly what was bothering him when he muttered “[Bleepin’] scorekeeper always [bleepin’] [bleep] up” while exiting the room.

Ortiz was most certainly upset about a change made by official scorer Chaz Scoggins in Wednesday night’s game that turned his first inning two-run single into a one-run single with an error on the left fielder allowing the second run to score. That means an RBI was taken away from Ortiz midway through the game, and he was upset enough about it to bust up Francona’s daily pregame meeting with the press with a few choice words.

When approached later in the clubhouse, Ortiz declined comment comment on the incident except to say it was "between me and Tito."

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Wow, play for wins not your stats!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Thanks for the update, John. For Ortiz to go so postal over a single RBI, and for a decision made by his home scorekeeper no less, coupled with his "fight" on the field a month back, does not bode well for his mental and emotional stability.

Last year, when he got off to such a slow start and was being bashed by the fans and Boston press, he was correct to point out that they were wrong to jump to conclusions based upon a dozen games . . . even if his attitude then was perhaps overly aggressive. But this kind of crap is simply that . . . crap.

Oh, and to address your earlier query re A-Rod, I only refrained for the same reason I have not posted about the reported "recruiting violation" of Coach K down at Duke: namely, because I was awaiting more facts before expressing any judgement. But to make one thing clear, let me state emphatically that, if A-Rod did something MLB told him not to do, be it illegal or just merely foolish, and he never plays another game for the Yankees or for anyone else due to this, I have absolutely no problem at all with that. Baseball, the Yankees, and I shall all survive with or without A-Rod.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

It must be roid rage with Ortiz? The guy pisses and moans about everything,The Sox over paid him about 6 million this year,and he is already whining about a contract for next year,he will probably wind up in pinstripes next year?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Papi in pinstripes? Ehhh, I can't see it, though who knows? After all, the Yankee fans hate Ortiz no more than they hated Clemens . . . or A-Rod, for that matter. One must confess his lefty power would suit the Short Porch to a T.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Agreed Thomas....is A-Rod really "relevant" anymore?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Keeping my fingers crossed for no rain today cuz I gots tickets!! :wo

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Geez, an awful lot of hatin' on a guy that, without whom we would not have won the WS in '04 and '07. So he lost his temper a little bit, who hasn't? Personally, I'd rather have a player who gives a damn enough to fight and scrape for every run, hit and RBI, instead of a dishrag who doesn't friggin' care. :2

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Have a good time Vin. Go Yankees.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I'll grant your point, if you grant that the Yankees would not have won in 2009 without A-Rod, and thus the same slack must be given to him.

Me, I don't see things based so totally upon what one has done for my team, yet merely point out you need take a gander at what's fair for the goose. And that's my :2 , and worth every penny. ;)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I hear what you're sayin'. Of course, I wouldn't expect any Yankees fan to like any Red Sock; I'm talking about Red Sox fans raggin' on a Red Sox player who has done so much for the team and in the community.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yeah, I got your point from the get-go. But I would protest that, to this outsider, it seems the Boston fans have even shorter memories than do most "what have you done for me lately?" fans in other cities.

For instance, take Wade Boggs. He was one of your best players for, what, ten years? He helped you to the '86 Series, and it wasn't HIM who booted Mookie's ball. Then the management decided he was done, and cut him loose. Boggs thought he still had game, so signed with the Yankees . . . AND WAS SOUNDLY BOOED WHEN HE RETURNED TO FENWAY! OK, so maybe he wouldn't have been had he not been in Pinstripes, but was that his fault?

No doubt it was all the sweeter for him when he climbed on that horse in The Bronx, however. :r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

For a Sox fan, jumping ship directly to the Yankees is like the Blue going over to the Gray.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

But Boggs didn't jump ship. He was thrown overboard, and was offered a lifeline. Do you expect he should have swam for shore, then opened a used-car dealership instead, out of a loyalty he himself had not been granted?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

To a Red sox fans way of thinking, he should have signed with the Royals

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Me I can't stand cry baby whiners, it's not about what you done in the past it's about know.
Ortiz is not a ball player he is a DH,I would have cut him lose last season.
I would like to see him pull his antics against, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, or Pedro.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I am a fan of Ortiz but if you watch him after every called third strike, he could be tossed out of the game. He is a chronic complainer and is eventually going to piss off every umpire in the game. He needs to get his emotions under control. To be fair, Youk has the same problem and could have cost us a game last week when he got tossed.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Hoping NY goes down tonight and the Red Sox take get first place!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

great game... sox coming though in a clutch... first place!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

The Yankee brass has to be concerned that the Sox seem to have CC's number, and their success against Rivera appears to be no fluke.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

i see y'all are taking care of our gift to you...

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I will have to disagree with you; I like him for what he has done, and continues to do, both on and off the field. He was at the hospital on Saturday visiting the kids, for example.

For my part, I want ball players who are emotionally as well as mentally in the game.
