2011 MLB Thread- Part One

[kramwest1]

First chance of the season to listen to a game on the radio today.
(Don't fucking rain.)

0-6

lol. Boston needs a YouTube 1911 button.

I feel really bad for Nishioka, hopefully he'll be back there soon. The guy seems to be a very good player (and his batting stance as a lefty is really reminiscent of Ichiro!, I thought).

Yeah, I'm not too happy about not being able to welcome him to TF tomorrow.

It was a pretty good game though.

Awesome that today's defeat was clearly of the nut-punch variety. Lester pitches his ass off but Bard walks Adam Everett leading off and they squeeze him in. Also 2 bad calls at 2B, one that cost them a run early and another that ended the game...if they drop these next 3 vs. the Yankees it's going to get mighty fugly.

 

[gump]

Given the circumstances, I'm expecting the Yankees to be swept by the Sox this weekend.

 

[DRay9911]

I hope ny can take 2 of 3.

I hope ny can take 2 of 3.

Wes "I'm professional so it doesn't matter how low my batting average is" Helms just got his first hit of the season! Too bad that's just because Ankiel dropped it and they decided not to give him an error.

 

[Imperor]

You must mean Wes "Don't Call Me Ed" Helms.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

He is easily the most miserable player to watch at bat. God only knows why Dominguez or Ozzie Martinez gets sent down but Wes Helms is guaranteed a roster spot.

I say that as he builds a 3-0 AB and then strikes out.

 

[PhilsFan]

Wes Helms sucked when we had him and always kills the Phils. So I dislike him.

Jim Calhoun is throwing out the first pitch at Fenway today.

 

[phanan]

I don't like the Sox chances with Lackey on the mound.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I do like the fact that I didn't draft a single player from Boston or Tampa, but 6 from New York and Baltimore

Of course, that's actually to be seen at this point.

Nolasco vs. Wandy Rodriguez. Interesting to see who sees the correction in their statistics first

 

[kramwest1]

65 degrees and sunny today, off to Target field in an hour.

 

[Hewson]

Jim Calhoun is throwing out the first pitch at Fenway today.

Any chance he can stay and pitch in Lackey's stead?

 

[Imperor]

Watching Lackey get shelled and lose his temper has been one of my favorite things in baseball over the past handful of years.

 

[phanan]

Jim Calhoun is throwing out the first pitch at Fenway today.

I just heard on the radio that it's going to be Yaz.

Calhoun must be tomorrow.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm going with Lackey and the BoSox today in my ESPN Streak For The Cash.

 

[Bluer White]

I'm going with Lackey and the BoSox today in my ESPN Streak For The Cash.

They CANNOT go 0-7.

Right?

 

[CTU2fan]

I just heard on the radio that it's going to be Yaz.

Calhoun must be tomorrow.

That's what I get for trusting Dennis & Callahan...

 

[Hewson]

That's what I get for trusting Dennis & Callahan...

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say that.

 

[gump]

With Hughes throwing 89mph meatballs this will be a 10-8 15-13 affair...

 

[DRay9911]

with hughes throwing 89mph meatballs this will be a 10-8 15-13 affair...

35 - 32

 

[Brandon Wood]

Ain't gonna happen for me in Anaheim. Angels need to trade me to a team where I can toil in anonymity and work things out with no expectations; a place like Pitt or Toronto or KC or, hell, even Minn. Scioscia has totally lost confidence in me, fine. But I need my fuckin' reps.

 

[phanan]

Time for a new user ID.

 

[phanan]

And good 'ol Shalackey strikes again.

 

[MrPryck2U]

MLB.com reports Manny has announced his retirement.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

pfft wow.
