The MLB Thread Part Duex... because Sicy killed our last one short of 756 :sad:

[impy13]

So the Rangers got hosed last night.

 

[Numb1075]

two men enter

1 man leaves....

 

[Numb1075]

Giambi is a beast lately. hit another bomb today

 

[phanan]

That undetectable stuff works wonders...

 

[speedracer]

I'm not sure if the Pedro tribute today was airing just on NESN or on the screen at Fenway...but I was definitel weirded out by seeing a montage of Pedro highlights set to "You Must Love Me" from the Evita soundtrack.

 

[phanan]

Kind of cool that Jerry Remy and Ron Darling have switched for a bit here.

 

[randhail]

Ron Darling and I went to the same high school, that's my claim to fame

Perhaps a "who's your daddy" chant would be appropriate?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

there's nothing left to do but tip my hat and call the red sox my daddies

 

[pub crawler]

Die, Red Sox, die.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

don't speak ill words towards my daddies

 

[phanan]

Die, Red Sox, die.

How 'bout them Angels?

 

[speedracer]

Die, Red Sox, die.

No no no, that's German for "The Red Sox, the."

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

ahhh... well played, side show speedracer

 

[Hewson]

How 'bout them Angels?

5-10 vs the NL the Angels are...they'd be losers even in the AAA caliber National League.
GenR is taking them apart.

 

[Hewson]

Or Wright going 0 for 12 with 13 K's.

0 for 7 so far (stupid walk)...needs an 0 for 5 against Schilling tonight, very unlikely...he'll probably only get 4 AB's.
0 for 11 ain't too shabby though.

 

[Numb1075]

For this series and this series only, I agree w/ Headache, the Sawx are my daddies. They have a real strong club and put the Metropolitans in their place.

here's to hoping they can salvage 1 game.

Schilling

 

[phanan]

After tonight, the Red Sox go on a lengthy road trip, including a stop in Chicago. It will be interesting to see if they can sustain this away from Fenway.

And despite winning 11 in a row, the Yankees are still only 3.5 games back. Scary.

 

[Numb1075]

think of poor minesota who has won like 14 of 15 or something ridiculous and only moved a half game closer in the standings. The AL Central has become a 3 team monster....And Selig wanted Minesota retracted a few years back.

 

[Hewson]

As long as interleague play continues, the standings will be fairly stagnant in all divisons. The AL teams will all rack up wins while the sisters of the poor in the NL rack up losses, the spreads between 1st and 2nd etc will not change.

 

[Numb1075]

good point.

It would really suck for the Yanks if the Mets get swept by the Sawx and then the Mets sweep the Yanks.

That would be a double kick to the nads.

 

[LMP]

I would pay to see that.

 

[Hewson]

It would really suck for the Yanks if the Mets get swept by the Sawx and then the Mets sweep the Yanks.

You're really on a Mets sweep someone kick these days, eh?
I'd love to see the Mets sweep the Yanks, but seeing as they'll be playing them in Yankee Stadium and with Pedro and Glavine performing as cheerleaders only, I'd look for the Mets to be on the business end of any broom that pops up in NYC this weekend.

 

[Numb1075]

we'll see. if we get swept in Boston, i'd think we could win 1 or 2 in the bronx. the mets are too good of a team to get swept in 2 consecutive series. i don't think they've been swept in a series yet this year.

 

[randhail]

Wow, I am really pleasantly surprised by the Sox this year. My expectations were no where near being 20 games over .500 at the end of June - definitely not complaining though. It's really nice to see them use defense to help them win for once

 

[speedracer]

And a stolen base and two bunts.

 

[phanan]

What a catch by Crisp tonight. Saved the game.

 

[Hewson]

Textbook manufactured go ahead run in the 7th, something the Red Sox haven't done since 1954.
Speed is a great weapon.

And what a friggin' catch by Crisp.

 

[randhail]

"Did you see that catch by Coco?" - NESN predicted the future when they started running that promo in week 2 of the season.

 

[phillyfan26]

Did you see that last night? Phillies pitching didn't give up a run. I can't remember the last time it happened. We've lost like 15 of 19 or something shitty like that. Ryan Madson - wow. Something so completely away from ordinary...a sign of change?

 

[Hewson]

Yeah the Phils are about to change out of 2nd place in their division.

Unfortunately for them its not to 1st but to 3rd.
