Can we please have 3 at 'em balls this inning.

 

Well, that was a nice pitch.

Be careful with Bay here.

Dirty Sanchez can grab some of this too...

 

All right Pods!

Great job by Montero! We got our at 'em ball.

This might be one of the most enjoyable game threads in a long time.

Pods did well there, i have to give him his due

Oh, thank God. Pods redeemed himself with that catch. And somehow, Ozzie has the magic touch again and Montero somehow gets through the inning 1-2-3.

Cliff who?

 

nice work, Montero

Heart of the order due up.

Wasn't the majority of the negative posts in this thread about our approach at the plate? Even the biggest Sox homers couldn't have been pleased with the swings we took in the first 6 innings.

Competing for one of my favorite threads ever. And I'm dead serious.

Are the Pirates "showcasing" Roberto Hernandez here?

 

Do we want to light him up, and not trade for him? Or see him pitch well so he seems more attractive? (We could still win the game with the lead we have.)

 

(I'm not watching live -- just Gameday -- so by the time I posted, this was already answered.)

What else is on your list?

I'm glad we're making your stay so enjoyable, jphat.

Are you serious? I would have wanted a 10 spot against him.

I think the pirates are now showcasing all of their tradeable talent.

 

Roberto had a high fastball, flyball city. I dont know if I want him. I dont know how he would project at the cell in summer.

At the top is game 2 of the world series. Absolutely the funniest thread I've ever read in my life. I went back and read the end of it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't stop laughing and shaking my head at the same time.

There is nothing better than a good laugh.

I think some of the credit goes to the pitcher, IMO. Luckily he started leaving that breaking ball up in the 7th.

Ha, I could only imagine what was being said in that. I do remember congratulating you on Pods homer to win it. I also nailed the "gotta watch out for Vizcaino flaring one to left field" against Jenks.

That and we started to hit the ball the other way.

Me too. But after 5 pitches and 3 outs, he looks like he'd be an upgrade for our bullpen.

Not really. We had a deep fly out and Dye just missed connecting on a long ball also.

They say laughter is the best medicine. We're just trying to keep you healthy.

 

That last pitch to Burnitz was nice.

Chcecking the scoreboards here.....I sure hope the BoSox cool off by the time they come here next week. About to win 11th straight.

I love Thornton's robot-like motion, and how casually he throws. It doesn't even look like he makes an effort at throwing hard, but POOF!
