Cora has sucked defensively this year. Which kind of makes the whole can't hit thing that much more glaring.

102. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:37 PM (#2864621)

Phil, there's already 2 outs.

What a joke - who did Lowrie #### again?

104. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:38 PM (#2864623)

Phil, there's already 2 outs.

I was talking about the Clay thing

105. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:39 PM (#2864624)

Theres the game - awesome stuff

106. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:39 PM (#2864625)

Oh. I'm not sure it would've been a DP. It was pretty much right back up the middle, I don't think Cora would have gotten to it at all. If Buchholz doesn't knock it down/kick it over, I think it's a single.

On the Fox replay it showed Pedroia situated right behind the bag at second when it hit Clay. He was positioned to his right for some reason, it would have been a DP for sure mate.

Great Stuff Cora you useless ####

108. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:43 PM (#2864627)

Nomar has 2 home runs and 5 RBIs so far in the 6th inning tonight.

I guess I missed that on the replay, I was more focusing on Buchholz kicking the ball.

109. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:44 PM (#2864628)

Also, Aardsma tonight and when he pitched in Buchholz's last game has only been like 90-92 MPH with his fastball. Is he hurt?

110. Chip Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:46 PM (#2864629)

#### you Tek and your ####### standup fastball.

FAILS.

And the wasted pitch leads to an extra pitch leads to a missed location leads to a 2-out 2-run hit.

111. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:46 PM (#2864630)

Thanks for costing us 4 runs, Cora.

112. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:47 PM (#2864631)

Thanks for costing us 4 runs, Cora.

Hopefully he'll be in tomorrow

113. Dan Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:48 PM (#2864632)

Not that Buchholz or Aardsma aren't partially at fault there too, but that was a Lugo type ######.

114. Chip Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:48 PM (#2864633)

His current slump/career-ending cliff dive has highlighted why Tek loves to call the standup fastball: he's the only hitter in baseball dumb enough to swing at it every time. He thinks everyone is as dumb at the plate as he is.

115. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 18, 2008 at 11:58 PM (#2864636)

People say Lowries defense is bad? The other two make him look like Ozzie Smith and they still wont plug him in there

116. Dan Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:01 AM (#2864639)

I'm seriously considering turning this game off. That play by Manny was the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

117. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:01 AM (#2864640)

Sooner this game ends - the better

118. bonifacio's got the good face! Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:04 AM (#2864641)

you know, it's possible that Manny really is as bad a fielder as those guys who do "The Book" argue...

119. Chip Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:06 AM (#2864642)

Theo, you're sitting behind home plate, so once again you can see how much Javy Lopez sucks.

GO GET BRIAN FUENTES!

Thank you.

120. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:06 AM (#2864643)

Garrett Anderson is 4 for 4

Enough said

121. Dan Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:22 AM (#2864650)

Well I'm going to bed, I need to be up early and this isn't worth staying up for.

122. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 19, 2008 at 12:27 AM (#2864653)

Hopefully Cora is hurt
