buckholz got hurt tonight running the bases

You guys can gladly have Burnett on loan from us..

[OGC]

buckholz got hurt tonight running the bases


but it adds so much excitement and strategy to the game having the pitchers bat.

[A.J.]

buckholz got hurt tonight running the bases

Wonderful.

[Dan 'Hampton]

At least it doesn't appear he Wang'ed it

[Kevin]

Wonderful.



That Burnett offer is still on the table....

[Dan 'Hampton]

Buchholz expected to make next start. Next Saturday so at this point nothing to worry about.

[Snoogans]

Buchholz expected to make next start. Next Saturday so at this point nothing to worry about.

there is still plenty to worry about. Just not with Bucholz

[Dan 'Hampton]

No, it's for the team brass to worry about. Not me.

[Kevin]

Wonderful.

Vmart Broken thumb...

[OGC]

Vmart Broken thumb...

how the heck did he break his thumb when he got hit in the left foot?

[Kevin]

how the heck did he break his thumb when he got hit in the left foot?

This

Martinez initially injured the thumb in the second inning when a foul ball off the bat of Pablo Sandoval hit off his thumb before striking his left foot. He was hit on the thumb again in the third inning on a foul ball by Andres Torres.

[A.J.]

All these injuries in a row...and an important series against the Rays.

Thanks Jebus!

[joeyballsack]

I am watching MLB.tv on my PS3 right now and they just had a 10 minute live camera shot of Heidi Watney before the feed cut back to the usual "this game will begin shortly" screen.

I really enjoyed staring at her inappropriately from the comfort of my living room couch.

[A.J.]

She was looking lovely last night.

Dice-K, on the other hand, looked like shit.

[TjM]

Wasn't pretty but 3 runs over 6. He kept them in the game. The bullpen on the other hand :thumbdown:

[joeyballsack]

It doesn't help that half the current team started the season at AAA.

Its amazing to me that they are only a game out of first place with all the major injuries that they have dealt with in addition to the horrible start they got off to.

Maybe Theo is doing a better job than people give him credit for.

[joeyballsack]

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/07/varitek_injury.html

Varitek has a broken foot and will be out 4-6 weeks.

Delcarmen on the 15 day DL.

If they can keep playing well it would be the greatest season ever.

[Snoogans]

so who the fuck is catching now?

[Dan 'Hampton]

Kevin Cash. Mirrabelli might have to take a real estate hiatus.

[A.J.]

Varitek has a broken foot and will be out 4-6 weeks.

I don't fucking believe this.

All the catchers in the minors are banged up too.

Picking up Kevin Cash makes sense because he's handled Wake's knuckleball before. I just don't like trading Angel Sanchez to get him.

[A.J.]

Way to piss away the lead Dice-K.

[Snoogans]

Youk just left the game with a leg injury. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

[A.J.]

Youk just left the game with a leg injury. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

He says he's alright but is there anyone left in Pawtucket to bring up?

[TjM]

He says he's alright but is there anyone left in Pawtucket to bring up?

Lars Anderson but he's not on the 40 man

[Fallon]

Youk's xrays were negative. He's good to go.

[A.J.]

The thing is that a lot of these guys are playing sore and can't get time of to rest and heal. The All-Star break can't come soon enough.

[TjM]

I already voted for Swisher. I want Youk to rest

[A.J.]

I already voted for Swisher. I want Youk to rest

I should ban you.

Youk is having a career year and should get a selection.

[A.J.]

Swept by the Rays. As banged up as this team is, at least they're fighting to the end.

Youk is in pain. He's got to sit out the Toronto series. Let Papi play first.

[joeyballsack]

Ryan Shealy got called up yesterday so I am guessing he will take over first if Youk is not going to play.

[Snoogans]

Ryan Shealy got called up yesterday so I am guessing he will take over first if Youk is not going to play.

oh man, Ryan Shealy. We are on our way to the WS now.


What is with all these pussies?

[A.J.]

I wish Jesus would come back and heal this team.

[Snoogans]

I wish Jesus would come back and heal this team.

Maybe we can find that lady that rubbed horse placenta on Robin Van Persie's injured ankle

[joeyballsack]

Add Beltre to the list of the walking wounded.

Four out of the six Sox All Stars are injured right now and they are still in the Wild Card picture.

Tito should be a strong Manager of the Year contender.

[Snoogans]

for being stupid and gettin elsbury injured?

Tito sucks. Package him in that Papelbon trade

[A.J.]

for being stupid and gettin elsbury injured?

Tito ran into Ellsbury while trying to make that catch in the outfield?

[Snoogans]

Tito ran into Ellsbury while trying to make that catch in the outfield?

dude come on. I said this before it even happened when they first announced they were doin it. Move your future CF out of CF and then put him in the smallest outfield in the league for Mike Cameron? It shoulda been cam in right, els in center and that bum in left field. But no, put the natural CF in LF so that he comes way to far in on a ball and hit beltre. Fuck you Tito. DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB

[Dan 'Hampton]

Tito isn't Joe Maddon. But he's the right manager for this team and ownership. Drew has a good arm in right and as a guy who watches everynight, his "lazy" look in right masks to an outisder how good he is in the field. Bitch about his fragileness, and nonchalant attitude after striking out but his play in the field isn't a problem. Ellsbury doesn't have as bad an arm as Johnny Damon Buthelezi still has the weakest arm in the outfield. Jacoby will be gone when he's arbitration eligible.

drew doesnt have the arm that Cameron has though. And cameron has so much more range and RF in fenway is BIG. and all I said was he was a bum. I didnt say he couldnt play the field. But Elsbury should NEVER have been in left field. Arm doesnt always matter. Elsbury has the range and KNOWS the park. Cameron wouldnt know the bounces and shit off those weird walls. It was stupid from the beginning

[Dan 'Hampton]

RF at fenway is a tougher position than LF.

[TjM]

Tito sucks.

Most asinine thing you've ever said

[A.J.]

Tito isn't Joe Maddon.

And he isn't Joe Torre either.

[Snoogans]

RF at fenway is a tougher position than LF.

thats what I said. Which is why I would rather have had cameron there.

[Snoogans]

Most asinine thing you've ever said

then apparently you dont pay attention to shit. Its the American League. Managers dont really do alot. When Tito was in the NL and had to manage, he fuckin blew ass

[A.J.]

then apparently you dont pay attention to shit. Its the American League. Managers dont really do alot. When Tito was in the NL and had to manage, he fuckin blew ass

And he couldn't win with Michael Jordan in his prime!

[Kevin]

And he couldn't win with Michael Jordan in his prime!

Seriously, what a bum.

He should have just told him to look for a curve.

That was MJ's strength!!!

[Snoogans]

And he couldn't win with Michael Jordan in his prime!

HA

Jordan was a rare 5 tool player. Or was it 0 tools. I can never remember

[DOHO@HOME]

Are there any trades that could help us out?

[Snoogans]

Are there any trades that could help us out?

we should get albert pujols. I did that in MLB the show and he dominates. Thats what we need

[A.J.]

HA

Jordan was a rare 5 tool player. Or was it 0 tools. I can never remember

He was just a tool.

[JimBeam]

He was just a tool.

And an awful gambler.

Ask his dad.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Cameron can't stay on the field and when he does they want him patrolling the triangle. Gonzalez will be at first but not this year.

[hanso]

You got um on the ropes Wakefield. Now wrap it up.

[A.J.]

That was some fine shitting of the bed Wake. The guys pitching in the Home Run Derby served up better pitches.

[A.J.]

And another failure by the bullpen...

[hanso]

That was some fine shitting of the bed Wake. The guys pitching in the Home Run Derby served up better pitches.

6 earned runs in the first, and they left him in for a 7th in the next inning or the third.

[A.J.]

I hate to think where this team would be without Youk. He's the MVP as far as I'm concerned.

[Snoogans]

I hate to think where this team would be without Youk. He's the MVP as far as I'm concerned.

come on, dont you wanna have the fun of tryin to figure out who the hell else they could possibly call up from the minors?

[A.J.]

I think Lars Anderson was hurt too.

[Snoogans]

I think Lars Anderson was hurt too.

at least we wont have to sit through any shitty metallica concerts for awhile then

[spoon]

at least we wont have to sit through any shitty metallica concerts for awhile then

wow awful

[Jujubees2]

On the way back to the hotel after tonight's game with the A's. Dice K looked good. During the game I realized that Red Sox were starting four guys who weren't with the team at the beginning of the season.

[A.J.]

There's got to be more than that.

[A.J.]

And Wake blows a 4-0 lead...

[Snoogans]

cock suckin faggot

TRADE THIS BASTARD PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

[joeyballsack]

Who..Delcarmen that couldn't get one out ?

Bill Hall who couldn't make the throw to first ?

Marco Scutaro who booted a grounder ?

I know you hate Papelbon, but there is plenty of blame to go around in this shit fest.

[A.J.]

Those errors sound about right.

[TjM]

At this point I don't care. As long as they get the W I'm happy. They just need to stay afloat till Pedroia and Martinez come back

[A.J.]

What a waste of brilliant start by Lester.

[Kevin]

What a waste of brilliant start by Lester.

That was a nice catch in the 6th by Floyd Patterson

[A.J.]

That was a nice catch in the 6th by Floyd Patterson

Yeah: Gold-Glove worthy.

[A.J.]

2-1 lead in the 8th and Oki shits the bed.

Theo had better clean house before the trade deadline.

[Snoogans]

2-1 lead in the 8th and Oki shits the bed.

I was watchin highlights last night and almost threw my remote through my TV.

[TheSandmanSe7en]

the sox just keep fallin back from my Yanks. They are almost becoming irrelevant with all those injuries.

[A.J.]

I was watchin highlights last night and almost threw my remote through my TV.

That was me when Patterson dropped that ball the night before.

[Snoogans]

That was me when Patterson dropped that ball the night before.

when Oki almost took out Youk goin for that bunt I had enough. I turned on History channel and pretended it was 1914

[disneyspy]

http://media.worldgolf.com/wg_blog_media/sweet-spots/DetroitTigersLogo.jpg

[A.J.]

Fuck, I thought they might actually pull off the comeback last night. If Lester doesn't give up one of those dingers, Papi's slam might have won the game.

[disneyspy]

mustsuckcaca is going to get the hs eyes opened today

[disneyspy]

cabrera

[A.J.]

So Theo deals for Jarrod Saltalamacchia (http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/red-sox/post/_/id/4862/sox-acquire-saltalamacchia). The Sox catchers are notoriously awful at throwing out runners, and Theo trades two prospects for a guy who has problems throwing the ball back to the pitcher?

I was waiting for your meltdown about that.

[Snoogans]

I was waiting for your meltdown about that.

i was at work when I found out about it. I was so disgusted. It helps that they ended up winning, but I just cant take it. Any time it seems like he is settling into a groove and gettin it all back, he fucks it up.

[A.J.]

It's gotten to the point where I can go out for a smoke, confident in the fact that when the Sox have runners in scoring position and Patterson comes to bat, I'm not going to miss anything.

[Fallon]

I can't take a piss without coming back to another Sox injury. Youk jammed his thumb last night, he's out today.

[joeyballsack]

15 day DL for Youklis.

Please let Mike Lowell go on a tear and hit .450 for the remainder of the season as a big fuck you to the Red Sox organization.

[Fallon]

Youk might be done for the season. I hope Lowell can keep it up.

[TjM]

15 day DL for Youklis.

The Sox called that perfectly.They would not start him ahead of Youk, Ortiz, Beltre but they weren't going to let him go for nothing of value in return. They figured he'd be a good insurance policy and they were right. Maybe Mike oughta realize it's a business.

[A.J.]

1st pitch back: OVER THE MONSTER. Mike Fucking Lowell!!

[Fallon]

It was Okajima's fault in the first place. Wasn't supposed to be a save situation until Oki let up a couple hits.

Paps literally saved the game.

its always someone else who fucks up. thats why they are called closers. then he comes in and walks a guy to load em right away, according to the baseball tonight update that made me turn the game back on.

but speaking of, what the fuck happened to Oki? He used to be alright. Now he not only cant pitch, but he cant field or throw either. Its like he is just retarded

One walk, two K's isn't a bad two thirds of an inning.

[Fallon]

Sox placed Okajima on the DL.

Didn't know sucking ass was considered an injury.

Retarded in the Lou Holtz/Peter Gammons sense?

I fuckin can not take it anymore this team is driving me nut's every fucking game!
I wish I could just stop being a fan of Boston teams.......I need help, is there a rehab for diehard Boston fan's?:huh:

[Kevin]

Retarded in the Lou Holtz/Peter Gammons sense?



No..

Retarded in the Ken Macha batting Hart 6th until June sense..

[joeyballsack]

I like 3 out of the 4 pitching matchups this series.

I dont know why I am so excited for this series, whether its because the Sox will be either out of it after this weekend or right back in the mix.

The way this season has went though, they will probably sweep the Yankees and then lose every other game on the roadtrip.

I left work and it was the top of the 9th and the Sox had a 3 run lead. I get home and see the crawl: Papelbon and the Sox blow game.

When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Paps -- I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he blew his 6th save -- I let it go.

At this point I just hope they re-sign Beltre.

I never would have thought that JD Drew would have the most games played in the outfield this season.

[Kevin]

The only time you seem to lose to LAA anymore is when Beckett or Paps are on the mound...

And Matsui continues to kill you..

[Jujubees2]

Pedroia back on the DL (http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2010/08/pedroia_back_on.html)

[Dan 'Hampton]

Beltre isn't coming back. He'll be in LAA.

[underdog]

Beltre isn't coming back. He'll be in LAA.

and if the Sox do sign him long term, he'll just start sucking again until a contract year.

[A.J.]

I think after last night, this season is officially over.

Who was that guy wearing Jon Lester's uniform?

Damon told you guys to go screw..

[Jujubees2]

Damon told you guys to go screw..

Can't blame him. I wouldn't want to go to the playoffs either if I had a wife like this...

[AHerald117]

Damon told you guys to go screw..

I would love to stay home with that wife, but the Red Sox also wanted to keep him from the Rays and Yanks. Mission Accomplished.

[Dan 'Hampton]

I'd rather see aa guys at this point. Let's see what we got.

[Kevin]

I would love to stay home with that wife, but the Red Sox also wanted to keep him from the Rays and Yanks. Mission Accomplished.



I'm happy..

We were ahead of the rays at the time so they would have claimed him before us.

[A.J.]

Damon told you guys to go screw..

He already did that the day he signed with the Yankees.

[TjM]

No way they even get one game in today. Just sucks out right now

[Fallon]

No way they even get one game in today. Just sucks out right now

Nice call Harvey Leonard.

[spoon]

Yah really. Everyone knew this was blowing over mid-day and all games would go off! Dummy!

[A.J.]

Nice throw to first, Wake.

[Snoogans]

Nice throw to first, Wake.

Lost 10 straight games that Wake has pitched in

[TjM]

I stand by my report! So there!:flush:

[AHerald117]

I'm happy..

We were ahead of the rays at the time so they would have claimed him before us.

No, we only claimed him days ago and we were never ahead of the Rays, if he was claimed by the Yanks, Rays, and Sox simultaneously, he would have come to us according to record

[A.J.]

Lost 10 straight games that Wake has pitched in

To be fair, wasn't he pitching in garbage time in a few of those games?

[Kevin]

No, we only claimed him days ago and we were never ahead of the Rays, if he was claimed by the Yanks, Rays, and Sox simultaneously, he would have come to us according to record



Im a Yankee fan...

[Snoogans]

a few yea, but he made a few of them into garbage time too

[AHerald117]

Im a Yankee fan...

Oops, didnt see the hat. My bad...could you guys stop winning for a little while? That would be great

[A.J.]

Sox docs must be held accountable (http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/columns/story?columnist=edes_gordon&id=5502459)

No shit.

[A.J.]

Why the fuck do you throw to first base against Carlos Pena?????? The one dumb mistake Buchholz makes in the game and it ends up costing them/

[A.J.]

Lackey sucks.

[Snoogans]

Lackey sucks.

i figured this out on april 15th. Thank god we only owe him 18 mill the next 2 years and then like 13 after. ASSHOLES


good thing we have beckett to save us.....oh wait.

AJ and Javy for Bucholtz and Lester..

Come on!

Complete that Bum overpaid rotation!

We will do a sign and trade with Javy, give him like 5 years 90mil so he does not feel left out.

i would think this was a joke, but most yankee fans actually think they can do shit like that

What?

You mean thats not a good deal?

Fine, Ill throw in Joba you throw in Bard..

You drive a hard bargin!

[Snoogans]

ill make 1 deal with the yankees.

You get Papelbon, Sox get 3 fungo bats and one of those cages that protects the pitcher during BP

[A.J.]

And that should just about end things.

[A.J.]

This is so true:

John Lackey, Josh Beckett co-star in Red Sox flop
Texas two-stink (http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/columnists/view.bg?articleid=1278100)

[A.J.]

I thought I was going to see Papelbon blow a save live and in person last night. But after giving up two straight singles, he managed to get a ground out on a bunt and then strike out the number 8 and 9 batters. Stellar job taking down the dangerous bottom of the O's' lineup.

Actually, Atchison may have pitched his best game of the year last night.

sometimes, not often, but sometimes Terry Francona cracks me up

As much as i hate to say this..

I really like Tito. He seems like a cool guy and everytime he is interviewd on fox or whatever, he is always funny.

[OGC]

those Francona trying on wigs commercials are absolutely hila :lol:rious.

[A.J.]

So much for Buchholz's Cy Young consideration...

[Kevin]

Why? He only gave up 2runs.

His era went up a whooping .4 from 2.21 to 2.25.

[spoon]

so you know mathematician, that's 0.04

fucking albanian math

Oh and we all know CC is winning the cy and Felix will get fucked up the ass again.

[A.J.]

You probably like him because he completely fucked up his outfield this year. Who puts Ellsbury in left?

[Kevin]

As I told snoogans..

As long as he keeps bringing Paps to close games and fucks up an entire OF, he is aces in my book.

[Snoogans]

fuck him. fuck tito, fuck theo, fuck the doctors, fuck JD Drew, fuck em all

[Jujubees2]

Another blown save for Paps! Hit it Snoogans!

[A.J.]

He was due for a fuckup since he almost blew that last game in Baltimore.

[Snoogans]

thank god i was at work and didnt get to see it. Fuck him. again, fuck em all

[A.J.]

Fuck you Dice-K.

How many more years are we stuck with Lackey? Great pickup Theo.

5yr deal?

When his own team that needed sp does not make him and offer, you know he is great.

[A.J.]

Way to catch a routine pop-up Scutaro.

[A.J.]

And the hits keep on coming: Jarrod Saltalamacchia done for season (http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/news/story?id=5612397)

[A.J.]

How fitting that the season "ends" thanks to another blown save from Papelbon.

we are gonna get rid of him, right? Please......please tell me im right

[Jujubees2]

we are gonna get rid of him, right? Please......please tell me im right

Would love to sit in on his arbitration hearing this year.

[Snoogans]

Would love to sit in on his arbitration hearing this year.

id agree except id be pissed he got one. Can you trade him before that or do you have to wait til his salary is set?

[Jujubees2]

I assume he can still be traded and just go to arbitration with his new team.

[Fallon]

we are gonna get rid of him, right? Please......please tell me im right

Herald said he's saying.

[A.J.]

we are gonna get rid of him, right? Please......please tell me im right

If by "get rid of", you mean "trade" then fine. I'd like to get something in return.

A bullpen would be nice.

i dont think teams are gonna be willing to give up anything for a bum who is gonna be making 10 mill a year

[Dan 'Hampton]

Him and Tito right?
He's not the reason were missing the playoffs.
We have at least another half year of him then he'll be gone simple as that. Use this time to get Bard completely ready. He won a WS here in large part to him, I'm not going to bitch him out like some fat old EEI caller. Paplebon doesnt haunt my dreams.

[A.J.]

And that's that. :down:

[DOHO@HOME]

Ok I'm a little relieved that it's over.
What a shame Red Sox nation had some high hopes and management appeared not to give a shit and did nothing to improve the team.

[TjM]

I'm glad management didn't panic and overpay for a mediocre reliever or bat. This years downfall was that the one area everyone thought would be solid (Pitching) sucked.

yeah, just you all wait until next year.

Hey, I first became a Red Sox fan in 1970 when I was seven so I experienced a lot of "a lot until next year's" before 2004. And that's was all I wanted. One WS championship in my lifetime. 2007 was an added bonus.

Oh I hear you. I have you beat by 10 years for being a fan, and I agree, the 2004 win was enough for me.

Everything from then on is just a bonus.

[A.J.]

And of course, Jon Lester can't get his 20th win.

[spoon]

Ok I'm a little relieved that it's over.

Wow, I don't see how the sox management who bought a LOT of players in this off season, not to mention many others in the recent past, did nothing to improve the team. If you expect them to fill in for countless injuries then you're just plain mad.

[A.J.]

Season over.
