Yeah I have never quite understood the Red Sox hatred for a guy that their own GM drove off. What was he supposed to do, quit because he ended up a Yankee? That is ignorant. And I do like the Ventura analogy. Just goes to show you that we appreciate good play when we see it.
scoring 10 points with his HR, sac fly, and 3B.
Pickers were HotSoxChick, SoxfanBeverly, and ArneHarris
Don't forget today is an 11:05 start Chicago time!!!!
I told you guys I was the king of spam! I will have to say that 90% of my posts come at work. When we are slow there is really nothing better to do. Plus I love the off topic board format, that way the baseball people can have their unadulturated baseball, and the Sox4lifeinPA's of the board can have everything else!
Today is Jerry Manuel's day to be the ass. 8th inning, 3 run lead, and two excellent lefty's out of the pen available, he goes with the righty. Nice job dumbass.
So he is willing to take "risks" in trades to make this team better, but not willing to take a "risk" when it is a free agent that involves giving up NO IN RETURN???
Honestly I am not sure why Gordon even started the 8th inning. 2 left handed hitters started off the 8th (Lawton and Vizquel) Why not Marte or even Wunsch?
Carlos got bailed out on a bad tag by the 2B on that play. The throw beat Carlos, on a GREAT throw from the knees of Tim Laker. Maybe we are getting some luck going our way! Or maybe being aggresive pays off
