Who'd we give up for him? I was surprised as anyone when i turned on the game my first day back and saw him playing second base for us. Royce Ring, Edwin Almonte, and some other no name minor leaguer.

man I can hardly wait for Jersey Girls

Becaue i have a job now and i dont spend all day on message boards. :finger I'm actually tired after work. What, you're dead tired after f***ing your cat for a couple hours?

Nice #'s by Rauch and Honel.

The only things Robbie has to do is get on base, and make plays. If he does that, he is already one up on Jimenez.

We won't have home field early, the way it looks like whoever makes the playoffs out of the central will be playing the Yankees or Seattle. If Seattle or Oakland ends up with the best record we will play them because the wild card is going to be out of the west, so they can't play a team from their own division in the first round. If the Yanks end up with the best record they get the WC, and we open out west, most likely in Seattle.

Nothing in the Trib this morning either...

I like the fact that Garland went to JM, as well as Gordon. SEE WHITE, THAT IS HOW A REAL MAJOR LEAGUER HANDLES HIS PROBLEMS, LIKE A MAN!!! :fyou White

Early start means get your picks to click in early [/spamming]

18,504 walks ups a new record!

Now the question is are you talking about posters, or the Sox???

Hey some of us are "working" here!

And a pretty ignorant one who managed to post his plans on his board, and tell people what board he was from...

Aww, isn't the little trolly cute. You know if you are going to troll you could at least come off as intelligent...

The time to adjust to a foul tip is nil. Basically it goes into your mitt or it doesn't. A catcher does not have the time to move to catch it.

You weren't at the everybody run on the field night earlier? That was the worst for me. Both the crap going on, and the way we lost.

Judging by what seats are sold so far it looks like we are on pace for about 31 or 32K unless walk up really kicks ass again.

Olivo's best bet was to let it go foul (looked like it had that spin on it to go foul easy) Yeah, but unless the grounds crew has changed the slope of the lines this year, that ball always stays fair if it rolls onto the line. It would have had some good spin if it went foul.

The thing that irritated me the most were the two big mental errors. #1 no one covering 2nd on that straight steal. Olivo still managed to almost throw out the guy even after standing there waiting for Jose or Robbie to cover the damned base. I gotta imagine that is Jose's fault, and that he should have been covering, but I am not sure. And #2 No one covering 3rd base on the sac bunt attempt causing all of the runners to be safe. Once again it looked like it should have been Jose covering 3rd on a wheel play, but he was no where to be seen. It looked like Crede was sent in to charge the ball and try to make the play. How different could the game have been if these two simple plays had been made???

That is the sweetest lot to get into. Instant access to the Ryan.

Someone mind filling me in on what he was doing? I missed 6+ innings. Throwing Matt Ginter out of the game for "throwing" at a batter with an 0-2 count and a runner on 3rd with one out. If he wanted to put the runner on, he would have given him the walk, or just hit him with the first pitch.

Cerb, If you are planning on buying tickets at the window with a pepsi can (like i am), plan on a good wait in line if you get there after 6...i waited 15 minutes in line to get my will call tickets. And, traffic is a mess. Plus good tickets go fast when you are waiting in line for that long. Of course if you have tickets already in hand, disregard what i said I'm planning on getting there as early as possible. I might leave my house around 4'ish (I live an hour away), to beat the Skyway construction traffic. Any clue on what time the paid parking lots open? I'd hope a bit before the gates open. Lots are supposed to open two hours early, but sometimes for big crowds they do open earlier. I would call 674-1000 and ask them.
