101. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:25 PM (#2869942)

At least Hernandez is at 108 pitches, that should be the last we see of him.

102. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:31 PM (#2869945)

Masterson warming.

103. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:31 PM (#2869946)

I'm still livid about the Varitek at bat - but why be surprised?? What afucking idiot

104. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:32 PM (#2869948)

Nice curve to get Ibañez.

105. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:33 PM (#2869950)

STRIKES CLAY STRIKES.

106. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:34 PM (#2869952)

You've got to be ####### kidding me.

107. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:34 PM (#2869954)

Pathetic.

108. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:35 PM (#2869956)

Are you kidding???

109. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:36 PM (#2869957)

Red Sox leave men on base all over the place, and they get a HR from Jose ####### Vidro?

110. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:36 PM (#2869958)

When I played this matchup last night on my PS3 I actually lost 2-1 on a 2 run Vidro home run. I laughed at the ridiculousness of it.

111. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:36 PM (#2869959)

Good to see the squander will haunt us - I blame that excuse for a catcher we have

112. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:36 PM (#2869960)

Pull him please.

113. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:37 PM (#2869961)

This is a joke - now he wont throw strikes

114. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:37 PM (#2869963)

How the #### is that not a swing when Lowrie's was?

115. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:38 PM (#2869964)

He ####### went there you #### ump

116. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:39 PM (#2869965)

Glad you left him in after the walk to allow another baserunner. ####### brilliant.

117. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:40 PM (#2869966)

Bases loaded - one run - one ####### run - #### this ####

118. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:41 PM (#2869969)

Glad you left him in after the walk to allow another baserunner. ####### brilliant.

119. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:43 PM (#2869972)

Nice start for Masterson.

120. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:43 PM (#2869973)

Great changeup on the 0-1.

121. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:44 PM (#2869974)

Why is Orsillo saying that Masterson has never had to work in relief before? Didn't the Red Sox convert him from a reliever into a starter just last year?

122. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:45 PM (#2869975)

Presumably he meant in the majors.

123. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:45 PM (#2869977)

Or he didn't know that.

124. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:47 PM (#2869979)

So Clay has given up homers to Vidro and Anderson this week - awesome

125. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:47 PM (#2869981)

My money's on the latter, because Orsillo's whole shtick was about the unfamiliarity with the process of coming into a game out of the pen.

126. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:52 PM (#2869986)

Ugh.

127. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:54 PM (#2869988)

One more inning for Masterson or what?

128. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:55 PM (#2869991)

94 MPH from Masterson on ball 1

129. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:55 PM (#2869992)

We'll see if his home run vulnerability follows him, now that he's rolled over to the top of the order after Bloomquist's quick out.

130. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:58 PM (#2869995)

Ellsbury's still fast, at least.

131. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 06:58 PM (#2869997)

I think I would throw Masterson for another inning if the game stays tied.

132. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:00 PM (#2870000)

(He's only thrown 17 pitches)

133. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:04 PM (#2870003)

Blech.

134. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:04 PM (#2870004)

If Jed could get in them I dont have to look at numb nuts next inning

135. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:05 PM (#2870005)

#### head to lead off the 9th - great

136. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:07 PM (#2870008)

Another one-pitch out. Mariners helping out Tito's decision-making big time.

137. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:08 PM (#2870009)

I'm enjoying reliever Masterson.

138. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:08 PM (#2870010)

He's throwing a lot harder too.

139. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:09 PM (#2870011)

So ####### annoying that Vidro not only homered, but reached base all three times he faced Buchholz.

140. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:10 PM (#2870012)

He's passed the audition.

141. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:13 PM (#2870018)

Now you take a pitch you ########

142. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:14 PM (#2870021)

Bunt Crisp!

143. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:14 PM (#2870022)

Lefty Tek continues to embarrass himself.

144. mopar Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:15 PM (#2870023)

Did I just see Varitek mouth "God I suck"?

145. mopar Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:18 PM (#2870028)

No reason not to leave Masterson in

146. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:18 PM (#2870029)

Did I just see Varitek mouth "God I suck"?

Why is he allowed to bat lefty?

Fucing guy is a joke of suck

147. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:20 PM (#2870033)

Okajima in.

148. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:22 PM (#2870035)

Where the hell did that miss?

149. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:25 PM (#2870041)

Crisp sucks. Ellsbury is a much better outfielder this year.

150. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:27 PM (#2870046)

Who falls behind to Cairo?? 3-0 ####

151. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:27 PM (#2870047)

WHY ARE YOU AFRAID TO CHALLENGE MIGUEL ####### CAIRO GOD DAMN

152. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:28 PM (#2870050)

WHO THE #### WALKS THIS LOSER? ####### HELL OKI YOU #### ME

153. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:29 PM (#2870051)

WHAT A ####### JOKE - MDC SHITS HIMSELF HERE - NO DOUBT

154. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:31 PM (#2870062)

Willie ####### Bloomcrap - can't wait for this

155. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:32 PM (#2870066)

Must get this joker out with Ichiro up - so he falls behind

156. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:34 PM (#2870073)

Are they going to use Morrow for a 2nd inning?

157. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:37 PM (#2870086)

HOpefully Drew can do something with Morrow. He's the only one who did anything with him last time we faced Seattle.

158. The Politics of Torre: How the HOF Really Works Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:40 PM (#2870095)

Damn. Looking at this Chatter, it's a good thing that Goodwill Hunting was set in Boston. Can you imagine Coorey as a Pirates fan or a Royals fan? He probably wouldn't be alive today.

159. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:41 PM (#2870096)

That was not good, JD.

160. Curse of the Graffanino (dfan) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:41 PM (#2870097)

Oops

161. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:41 PM (#2870098)

WTF Drew?

162. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:45 PM (#2870112)

Standup fastball ...

FAILS!

163. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:45 PM (#2870113)

Yeah Remy when you play your best outfielder in right he will catch a lot of balls. That doesn't make it a good idea.

164. The Politics of Torre: How the HOF Really Works Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:46 PM (#2870115)

Then again that double play raised my blood pressure.

165. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:48 PM (#2870121)

Really? The double play didn't really piss me off at all.

166. The Politics of Torre: How the HOF Really Works Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:51 PM (#2870125)

I'm the anti-Dan.

167. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:56 PM (#2870130)

Another good AB from Lowrie.

168. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:58 PM (#2870135)

First pitch check swing out. Millaresque.

169. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 07:59 PM (#2870140)

Damn. Looking at this Chatter, it's a good thing that Goodwill Hunting was set in Boston. Can you imagine Coorey as a Pirates fan or a Royals fan? He probably wouldn't be alive today.

Hey Jon

I had a nice soothing shower to calm down

Good to see coco still is ####### ####

170. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:02 PM (#2870152)

Of course Vidro the piece of #### gets on - of course

171. mopar Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:03 PM (#2870155)

I like the move to Papelbon here. I'd like it more if either Okajima or Delcarmen was still available

172. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:03 PM (#2870156)

I think Remy's right, if Papelbon doesn't butcher that it rolls foul.

173. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:04 PM (#2870158)

Thanks for the bad AB, Adrian.

174. The Politics of Torre: How the HOF Really Works Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:05 PM (#2870159)

Hey Jon

I had a nice soothing shower to calm down

Awesome. I left to get a haircut when the Sox had a 2-1 lead, but when I came back it was 3-3. I should've blown off the haircut.

175. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:06 PM (#2870161)

Got lucky with a hanging slider on the 1-0 to Betancourt.

176. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:07 PM (#2870167)

Here comes the walk off sac fly.

177. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:07 PM (#2870169)

this is a joke

178. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:08 PM (#2870176)

Remy is right, Crisp and Ellsbury are playing too deep.

179. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:09 PM (#2870179)

Why the christ do the Sox suck so hard on the road?

180. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:10 PM (#2870183)

Nice DP!

181. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:10 PM (#2870184)

Huge.

182. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:10 PM (#2870186)

huh, that was cool I guess...

183. Marc Sully's not booin'. He's Youkin'. Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2870195)

Holy #### he got one through.

184. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2870199)

More weak contact from Ellsbury, but well-placed.

185. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2870202)

way to avoid the shitfest of a day by not going 0 for 6. Now run you speedy little man, run.

186. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:13 PM (#2870203)

STEAL

187. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:14 PM (#2870205)

I'd IBB Drew if I were Riggleman.

188. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:14 PM (#2870208)

now steal 3rd! you know you can!

189. Elevate Phil Coorey Later Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:14 PM (#2870209)

cmon drew

190. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:14 PM (#2870211)

Well that will work, I guess. Would have been nicer if he had stolen before Pedroia put the bat on the ball. But Ellsbury has been on first so infrequently I think he's forgotten how to steal.

191. mopar Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:15 PM (#2870216)

He forgot how to hit at some point too

192. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:16 PM (#2870218)

Right, one has led to the other.

193. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:17 PM (#2870220)

HAH!

194. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:17 PM (#2870221)

MUFF!

195. Marc Sully's not booin'. He's Youkin'. Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:17 PM (#2870222)

Weird play.

196. Curse of the Graffanino (dfan) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:17 PM (#2870223)

Too bad there weren't two outs.

197. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:18 PM (#2870225)

suicide squeeze. do it.

198. Chip Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:19 PM (#2870227)

That'll do.

199. Dan Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:19 PM (#2870228)

#### YES!

200. jacksone (AKA It's OK...) Posted: July 23, 2008 at 08:19 PM (#2870229)
