Bowden Begins

A quick post so that we can discuss the first Major League start of Michael Bowden, which will happen today at 7:05 against the Chicago White Sox. Chicago is 3rd in the league in run scoring and Bowden is still only 21 and just getting the hang of AAA. I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much for great results, but it will be fun to watch him go for the first of his 300 victories. Let’s hope he can keep the Red Sox close and give the team 5-6 IP.

This is better than Jim's newsblog post.

2. Fancy Pants Handle Posted: August 30, 2008 at 11:55 AM (#2922821)

Never expected to see him up this season, but that's what 4 SP's on the DL and a demoted Buchholz will do...

3. IronChef Chris Wok Posted: August 30, 2008 at 12:24 PM (#2922830)

I'm not all that excited.

4. philly Posted: August 30, 2008 at 12:47 PM (#2922844)

I'm going to miss Bowden's start tonight, unfortunately, because I'm going to a Wilmington Blue Rocks game.

Last Sept I missed most of Buchholz's no hitter because I was at a Blue Rocks game.

I'm just saying...

So Project Bowden begins. But is it too soon? Should human beings even be experimenting with this kind of power? Is it hubris?

6. 1k5v3L Posted: August 30, 2008 at 01:15 PM (#2922867)

So, is Bowden better than Scott Kazmir? Or just as good? [/kevin]

7. Fancy Pants Handle Posted: August 30, 2008 at 01:18 PM (#2922870)

So is 1k5v3L a better troll than Kevin? Or just as good?

8. Darren Posted: August 30, 2008 at 01:25 PM (#2922875)

So does Fancy Pants deserve a Primey? Or two?

9. 1k5v3L Posted: August 30, 2008 at 01:34 PM (#2922886)

Definitely better than kevin. It's not even a competition. Kevin even sucks at trolling

10. John DiFool2 Posted: August 30, 2008 at 02:16 PM (#2922904)

Reason for encouragement is his control, which was very good in AA, has been even better in AAA. IMNSHO he's been hampered by bad luck and poor run support in AAA (and some home runs).

11. tjm1 Posted: August 31, 2008 at 04:00 AM (#2923384)

Well, he held his own against a good lineup.

12. tfbg9 Posted: September 01, 2008 at 08:07 AM (#2924364)

Ozzie was rather unimpressed.

13. Russ Posted: September 01, 2008 at 08:20 AM (#2924366)

Ozzie was rather unimpressed.

By whom? Bowden, levski, kevin or FPH?

14. kevin Posted: September 01, 2008 at 08:31 AM (#2924369)

I thought he did fine. Much better than the D'backs are doing against the Dodgers.

...so I went to the game saturday night, and after the bottom of the 8th a lot of people left so I snuck down to the front row directly to the outfield side of the ChiSox' dugout. I was right behind Heidi Whatney, and I refrained from sexually harrassing her. I noticed she had a scorecard filled out, as well as a notebook with little handwritten notes (e.g. Kotsay, second game at fenway....etc etc). She hopped out of the well right after the 3rd out to (presumably) go do an on-field interview with someone.
Also, AJ Pierzysnki was watching the inning from the top step of the dugout towards my side so I get his attention and then do the scratch-my-cheek-with-my-middle-finger routine (I am very mature obviously). Then I yell at him "HEY AJ, do you have Doug Eddings on speed-dial or something? he keeps helping you out!". He looked over and just shrugged.

All that's great and all, but tell us what everyone wants to know. How is her ass?

The Red Sox claimed Virgil Vazquez from Detroit for some reason.
