Firstly, at Fenway Park, Boston scored two first inning runs off of Andy Pettite, then the guns fell silent while Wakefield took it on the chin. 10-3 was the final, and we head into Sunday night needing a win to avoid a sweep. Yipe.
'Ol Sleepyhead, Craig Hansen, got whipped again, including a up and in whacking of Mr. Ciccone. This was clearly retaliation for Joba whacking Youkilis in the arm on Friday. Fortunately, hostilities did not ensue, and Robinson Cano, who is hot as a pistol, gave the proper baseball response by banging a double off of the Wall to help seal the game.
New toy Damaso Marte came on to retire David Ortiz with runners on in the seventh, we mounted the first Manny and Papi lineup in a couple of months, and we got beat like a rented goalie.
Buster Olney is talking about a Manny trade, which is something that usually comes up at this time of year. Sigh. With his defensive issues, it is hard to imagine him going to an NL team, but Boston is certainly a much better defensive team going Drew-Crisp-Ellsbury than Drew-Crisp-Ramirez.
Look, I love the Bad Man. He is a phenomenal playoff hitter, and one of the best right handed hitters that have ever lived.
Does his Manny being Manny crap outweigh his skills? I don't know.

This ad is a lie.
Plain and simple.
The Pentagon told him he couldn't go to the hospital because his Senate staff had gone home.
What a bunch of lying, thieving thugs.
Oh yeah-and the McCain ad shows Obama playing basketball with the troops to prove he ignored the troops.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh yeah-John McCain voted against the new GI Bill. The GI BILL, for heaven's sake!
we had years of Manny around here as well...boy can hit, but he falls asleep in the field and on the bases. He likes to take little Manny vacations once in a while and just not play
ReplyDeleteI am through with John McPlain and Black O'Blah Blah....both of these so called candidates can go to hell and take their ads with them.
The "Country First" slogan seems like it would fit a country music station ad campaign. Not the best...
ReplyDeleteAs for the GI Bill, there are two bills that increase GI benefits. McCain favors one. Obama favors another that apparently provides both benefits. But both of them are in favor of a GI Bil.
"GI Bill" refers to educational benefits. McCain has opposed expanding educational benefits in the Webb bill.
ReplyDeleteI would not allege that John McCain opposes the troops. I find it deeply hypocritical for him to allege something like that about Obama.
