Yes, maggs rips one down the 3rd base line for a single. PK your my favorite. Come on I'll buy you a if you come through.

Well if PK is due up I'd bring up Graffy as a pinch hitter and have him bunt.

That should end the inning. Either way I ain't blaming Billy. This was freaking pathetic. Sox had so many opportunities and pissed away bunts, etc. This team blows fundmenally and teams that can't play baseball don't win....Case Closed. The Sox don't deserve to win. Awesom start by DANNO

Maggs. He's gonna have a huge freaking game and finally get his head out of his arse.

Is that GUG screaming? Damn, Damon swipes second. Very good throw. That was stolen off the pitcher.

Damn, one away from 1300.

Top of the 10th. 4-3.

Two outs. Nice job Billy. One more out. Then the Sox need to score some stinking runs. Nomar's hitting streak is on the line.

Damn.

I remember about two that have been messed up, but I don't have the stats in front of me. I think he's an average bunter in the sense that he gets it done more often then not. A great bunter gets it done 9 out of 10 times. s***, Sox almost throgh him out. s***, you watch Alomar bunt. What the hell does speed have to do with being a good sacrafice bunter. He gets them down more often then not, as does Olivo.

2-1 to Damon, although one fastball looked awful close, but was called a ball.

Thats freaking great Murcie.

Come on Koch, you can do it.

I'd be more then willing to do that. I'd also like a lineup where Harris, Jimenez, Sanchez, and Nixon were in there. Thats four guys with good speed. Harris, Sanchez and Nixon have pretty good speed, JImenez has good speed. Then you have Olivo who has good speed and Maggs and Carlos have good speed too. Of course if you get Encarnacion that would be really sweet, cause Encarnacion is really fast. Damn they could have a hell of a lineup Harris Jimenez Thomas - 1st Magglio Nixon Encarnacion Crede Olivo Sanchez Then other games you play Daubach with someone else Dh'ing. You could really mix things around and have a fast team at times, have a good bench, etc. This all of course is pending on the Sox getting a good manger, named Wally Backman.

Umm, Valentin is an average bunter. On this team he's one of the better ones, but Olivo and Alomar are by far and away this teams best bunters. Rowand is very good too. Everyone else pretty much sucks. Harris and Jose are in the same boat, average. Graffy isn't bad either.

These last four innings show how poor the fundementals are of this team. Jerry Manuel must go. Come on Koch, mow em down.

Ian, I thought you did a great job. I think a Sox oriented background image would be really sweet. I love how the righting on the right really seems to stand up.

s***, Frank got his pitch there. They wanted it way outside and it got enough of the plate. Still, I'm all confident now when Frank is up.

I'd do the same. Franks bat speed is looking really good. I got a good feeling. I hope Maggs isn't up. Never thought I'd say that, but he's freaking pulling everything. Pathetic. This team needs a manager with the balls to tell his players and get on their asses when they are doing stupid things fundementally.

Marlins don't want Beltre. Imo, the Dodgers don't have what it takes to land Lowell.

The Botox fans could be saying the same thing. Disagree, when you get one hit, you are damn happy to have 3 runs.

I agree. Bostons announcers were pretty much saying it was pathetic that he isn't at second. Especially considering how much the ball slowed up when it hit the dirt. Nixon's a damn good defensive player. s***, another crappy bunt. I'm sorry, this bulls*** fundementals is inexcuseable. People in the minors must suck with this coaching while the coaches in the majors obviously don't teach it. Its not hard to bunt. Anyone can do it. Maybe this team should give all their hitters bunting lessons like NL teams do with pitchers. Fire Manuel now. Fundemental crap deals with players, but when a manager is too freaking inept to preach it, then its his fault too. YOU SUCK JERRY and Harris, I expect better from you. I hope we don't ask Jimenez to bunt cause he sucks at it. After the game the taem should be doing bunting lessons. Thats what I'd do if I'm a manager. I'd tell them you play like s***, we'll just have to solve the problems by working on it til your done. Nice, I love Willie...steals 2nd. I absolutely love having him in the lineup.

Olivo pinch runs for him and if Rios isn't hurt I'd hope to hell that someone starts kicking his ass in, in the dugout.

What the hell is wrong with Rios. Did he get hurt? There is no excuse for that lazy ass hustle. That should be a double.

There is a reason Flash is going to be one of the most sought after relievers during the trade deadline. A Good reliever can command quite a bit at the deadline.
