  • Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

    Pedroia is useless at the plate right now. He's approaching Papi levels of uselessness...
    Someone has to do something soon.

    Incidentally, I hate the national crews. Even with Orsillo in the booth, it's a tie game and they're practicaly gushing over the Angels.

      Yeah, this has been more than a slump. Not that Lowrie's worth anything offensively.

      Maybe Pedroia can trade places with Drew?

        Martinez and Ellsbury are the only people with a pulse right now. You could chuck Pedrioa, Papi, Bay, Lowell, Youk, Gonzo, Drew, and Variteck in the San Andreas fault and get the same production. Some times you run into good pitching, sometimes you CREATE IT.

          I'd have to say Josh Beckett is alive and well.

            I'll say this for Boston, they do everything as a team. And right now, it seems they're slumping at the plate as a team.

            Knock on wood that Beckett stays in this groove that he's in.

              Is it me, or is TBS's 'pitch trax' graphic essentially random?

                Any reason why the Red Sox refuse to work the count and wait for their pitches tonight?

                  After a quick first couple innings, they'd been doing all right at making Weaver throw pitches.

                  It's mostly Papi who missed that memo...

                  edit: Weaver's up to 107 or so. They'll see someone else soon. Thankfully.

                    Thank God. Weaver and Lackey are good, but the Red Sox are making them look like Drysdale and Koufax.

                      Wow. Beckett walks Guerrero. Do you know how hard that is?

                      And not only that, but he gets lifted for a pinch runner. So we can't count on him being an easy strikeout later.

                          On what planet is Buck Martinez living? Beckett is not in command of the strike zone.

                          And there are the insurance runs.

                          Do us all a favor, Anaheim, and take care of this in 3. At least then we might have an interesting ALCS.

                            I wouldn't pinch hit Lowrie for Beckett.

                              I'm curious to see if they can hit the ball at all at Fenway. Right now, they're dead.

                              You can tell it's PC hockey season when all optimism in my posts just absolutely freaking dies, eh?
