QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 10:53 AM) manny > ichiro!! EDIT: That was green, but not snarkily so Probably could be if he really wanted to hit with as little power as Ichiro does.

Teahen put a good swing on that one.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 10:42 AM) It's called going with the pitch I believe and besides Manny is still getting that timing down. I just hope when he breask out of it for power we get it in a game we really need it and not as part of some blow out Going with the pitch is more like what Beckham does. Hit's outside pitches to right and pulls inside pitches. Manny took an inside pitch to right. Have to get the hands out in front open your hips a bit and let the bat head trail. Much harder to do and Manny's been making it look easy.

Ejax looks a lot better this inning . Slider biting more.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 10:24 AM) I love Manny and all, but it's kinda funny how he's just a slap hitter to right field these days. I loved the way Manny hit. Beautiful inside out swing is not slap hitting. It's him realizing his timing is not where it should be right now and being smart about it.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 09:50 AM) The defense takes a hit. That I can agree with. Teahen

Alexei , Rios and PK all out. PK with the back problem. Alexei and Rios played both games of the double header . I sure don't mind the changes today. Even winning in Boston the Sox offense hasn't looked sharp. Jones has looked like a better hitter lately. I remember reading something lately about Jones trying to replicate his stance when he was hit 50 HR's for Atlanta per Walker's suggestion. Seems like ever since I read that he's been hitting more for average. Q 3rd is fun to see as is Manny 4th. Still prefer Beckham not 9th. Last 45 or so games he's been one of the best hitters so why not try to get him a few more AB's ?

Just keep winning. Just keep winning. Just keep winning winning winning.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 08:43 AM) Has Ozzie ever started him at 1st during his first call up? Don't remember if he started but I remember him playing 1st with the Sox.

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 08:39 AM) Charlotte's last game is today, so Viciedo will be another option for 1B soon. He's finishing the season down there on a strong note... gotten hits in 8 of his last 10 games (.302), including 4 multi-hit games, and 3 homeruns. Nice to see I love that kid. But it's more important to know if he had any walks.

Just keep winning. Just keep winning. Just keep winning winning winning.

I thought that was a foul tip for the K . Glad he got hit .

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Now we put in a pinch runner? I'm confused. Better now than never.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) If you had to pick a time to pinch run for A.J. this is the time. You have two other catchers on the team right now. Another wtf AJ not being pinch run for ?? It's the tieing run for chrissakes. One off the wall and any fast runner could score.

Alexei's looked bad against Okijima but he's due.

Maybe the Carmines want to give the game away worse than us.

I leave for a few minutes and this is what happens.

WTF now the White Sux.

WOW . Thank u Red Sux.

Time for Manny in the on deck.

Just keep winning , just keep winning . Just keep winning winning winning .

Not many posts after the 2nd game. I'll assume people were confused not knowing if they should post after the 2nd game in the 1sr game thread. Any way. Great pitching by the Sox and props to Jenks for saving both games. Just keep winning , just keep winning.

Red Sox played like crap except for the pitching. Bad D , terrible with runners on. Way to kick ass on teams that suck and manage to put together a nice little road win streak. Let's get 10 in row !

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 07:20 PM) :sweep: Ova! Now let's sweep the series for real tomorrow. When's the last time we swept Boston in Boston? I can't recall that happening in at least 5 years. 1991 oops I meant swept a DH in Boston not a series.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) He just might be the reason Twins win the division when you look at it all. Can't hate on Thome . He's just doing what one team was smart enough to pay him to do and one wasn't .
