Running Red Sox thread

You need to come up with some material.

West coast, YO!

 

Papelbon

13 pitches. 11 strikes. Side retired.

Thanks for playing.

 

Hinske= 9.5 on a 10 scale

half a point off for the head jerk

 

He should get extra points for the head jerk. He had just an awesome game.

The baseball tonight guys said it best - right now, every move that Francona makes is working out.

 

schilling threw almost 120 pitches in six innings, walked four, gave up eight hits, all for extra bases (seven doubles and a homerun) and allows only two runs.

how often can you expect that to happen?

 

Beckett to the DL.

BOSTON -- Josh Beckett is headed for the disabled list because of a finger injury and is expected to miss two starts before returning for Boston's home game May 29 against Cleveland.

Beckett, baseball's winningest pitcher at 7-0, is recovering from a torn flap of skin on the middle finger of his throwing hand. The right-hander will throw on the side before Friday night's game against Atlanta, which he had been scheduled to start.

The Red Sox said Beckett would go on the disabled list Friday and right-hander Devern Hansack would be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to face the Braves. So far this year, no member of the Red Sox's rotation has missed a game because of an injury.

"We included him in this decision a lot," manager Terry Francona said of Beckett. "He was very thoughtful and conscientious in what he was saying to us and we talked to him for a long time about it."

He said "nothing went backward at all," in Beckett's recovery. "He will prepare to start in the 29th," Francona said.

The finger injury forced Beckett out of last Sunday's 6-5 win over Baltimore after four innings. He had won his other seven starts and has a 2.66 ERA.

With Florida in 2002, Beckett's first full season in the majors, blisters on the middle finger sent him to the disabled list three times. In 2004, he made three more trips to the disabled list, two of them because of injuries to that finger. He stayed off the list last season, his first with the Red Sox.

Hansack will start his second stint with Boston. He was called up May 3 when reliever Mike Timlin went on the disabled list and returned there May 11. In his only appearance, he allowed one run in 2-3 of an inning on May 8 against Toronto.

Hansack's getting the start? The Herald was reporting yesterday Gabbard would get it.

 

I'm a little nervous how good pitchers make us look bad on offense, cause that's what we will see in the playoffs.

 

Hey TBS, you can't rerun a Seinfeld during a rain delay? If you are gonna show Saved By the Bell, at least make it the ones with Kelly and Jessie. DAmn.

 

Pedroia, Drew, and Crisp. The outfielder always has the right of way on a bloop hit. You two should have called Pedroia off. Maybe the earned run wouldn't have happened against Papelbon.

Hey Andruw, appreciate the o-fer. Five strikeouts, all swinging.

30-13, going to New York.
