Cool!! Maybe Mikey can become a weather spotter for the evening? After all, we've come to know just how much Mikey obsesses about Mother Nature
Not sure why you bat the bottom 3 in that order. Makes more sense to bat Tek, Green, Jacoby...
Great. Lowell will find something to whine about on the bench. He does need a day off as he's been scuffling. There will be no chance of adding to his MLB leading double plays! WooHoo! No rally killin' tonight! Reminds me of Jim Rice at the end ...DP, DP, DP, DP, DP,
WHAT A COINCIDENCE THAT DAISUKE SUDDENLY HAS A MEDICAL PROBLEM, WHEN HE HAS NOT EVER PITCHED WELL FOR THE SOX. BUT IT IS HARD TO YANK A BIG DOLLAR PITCHER OUT OF THE ROTATION WITHOUT JUST CAUSE. AFTER THE SOX SAW WHAT A BARGIN THE BRAVES GOT WITH KAWAKAMI AND WHAT GREAT STUFF HE HAS, THEY ARE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THEIR DAISUKE WITHOUT DEFAULTING ON HIS CONTRACT. CAN'T PUT HIM IN THE PEN, AS THAT WOULDN'T WORK, AND CAN'T SEND HIM TO THE MINORS (HIS CONTRACT WON'T ALLOW THAT) SO IT IS A REAL DILEMA FOR THEM.
why would you want tek running in front of jacoby, should they both get on base?
WHEN HE HAS NOT EVER PITCHED WELL FOR THE SOX
a) get the cat off the CAPS LOCK button
b) the guy was 18-3 last season with a 2.90 ERA.
Dice-K was just fine at the World Baseball Classic. He'll get his form back with rest.
Heck if 'Tek wuz in front of Jacoby, Jacoby would hit 2nd base B 4 Tek, then they would both be called out...duuuuuuuh!
