Did you watch the next PA?
The odds of Varitek getting a hit were probably higher than the odds of Ortiz scoring on that, but my commented was mainly because of the heel thing.
Phew, I'm going to be in Pittsburgh this weekend. From what I just checked, the hurricane shouldn't go that far inland.
That's irony.
That looked like a maple bat and I'm wondering if the modest gain in compression is worth the loss of a sure hit because the bat splits along the grain more often than an ash bat.
Seems to be working...
I didn't notice it on my own, but I see what you mean now. The pitcher looks kind of grayed out too.
Putting one in Mathis's ear actually works a lot better for me...
Personally, I hear Ride of the Valkyries...
Cause the guy is hitting .059?
It was Abe Alvarez's first start and Ortiz hit two triples.
Tigers tie up the game in St. Pete on an Alex Avila homer.

Yanks are about to put their game to bed.
Isn't it Flight of the Valkries?
Then again, considering it Ortiz we're talking about, maybe flight isn't the right word.
I'm sure Francona will try to steal an extra inning, which probably won't be a big deal with a 6 run lead.
I would take this year's iterations of Bard and Papelbon over them. Bard allows way fewer base runners than Robertson, and Rivera has seemed to be living a lot more on getting his HOF strike zone than by dominating hitters this season. Obviously both bullpens have great back ends. For a while Albers was a lights out third guy, but that seems to be over. And Soriano was struggling, but that also seems to be over, so the Yankees have a better overall bullpen, but if we get it to the 8th (or to 2 outs in the 7th), I'm going with Boston's guys.
Jacoby with the BOMB!
He's just been a joy to watch.
Tacoby Bellsbury doesn't cut it?
Well if it's old-school it would have to be something racist.....I wonder if players like Ortiz get to get away with calling him 'chief'.
Apparently there is, and Girardi just found it. It's called CC Sabathia.

BIDZIIL: Navajo name meaning "he is strong."
NIYOL: Navajo name meaning "wind."
Can't a guy get some credit for a nice reverse-jinx?
Chief Ellsbury.
Imagine that - he's put some good swings down lately though
He shits me sideways more often than not
Every time we kinda think that, it turns out not to be the case.
Im basing it on him not swinging at everything since his homer in KC. Course, that was just 4 days ago.
WTF? What happened???
Gonzalez is really feeling it now. God that's so good to see.
No idea, they announced it a few minutes ago on NESN and I didn't catch the cause of death (if it's known).
