Next stop....THE WORLD SERIES....
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
He came to spring training as the Pillsbury dough boy and has suffered all season because of it.
Got it. thanks.
The ‘97 Orioles went wire to wire...1st place from Opening Day to the end.
They had a .236/.636 (BA/SLG} hitting shortstop named Mike Bordick.
The statheads on usenet crucified him. He had taken over Ripken’s position and they were not happy.
Bordick holds the Orioles’ record for fielding...not Ripken.
He also was named to the All Star team in 2000.
ellsbury is hitting leadoff though and if he’s not going to get on base then he’s a major liability.
If I was Francona I’d move Drew back to leadoff (walks/OBP) and push ellsbury to 8th. Losing Lowell has certainly hurt them this postseason
Manny being Manny.
Hard to remember the Oreos being anything but a joke.
I haven’t followed the Rays that closely.
But you’re right. A lead-off hitter in the lineup should be productive.
gah i want to take the guy who made these holiday inn express ads to an alley somehwere and shoot him
Frank Calliendo needs to get whacked as well....
LOL! Well, I am old enough to recall their glory days. Earl Weaver made them champions and contenders for years.
But, yes....they’ve been a joke since a little kid named Jeffrey Maier reached over the railing in Right Field in Yankee Stadium.
is that the frank tv guy? what on earth is that?
Angelos was that franchise’s downfall. Scumbag lawyer.
Six more outs and the RAYS tie it.
...can’t help it.
I’ve always been for the underdog. The enigma.
Oki-doki... Let’s go Sox!!
It’s better than 50% that the Red Sox score again.
The pink hatted fans just love him for his looks.
Yep. "Damon's Disciples" quickly forgot about Johnny and have a new love in center field: Jacoby.
Remember that spring training photo of Beckett with the big belly hanging out? It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic...
The Rays are mostly a team of .270 hitters. Pena a regular season .247 hitter is acting like coming of Ted Williams - it won’t last.
The Red Sox should have started anyone but Beckett and the the rays don’t score more than 5 in this game.
im impressed by the sox’s small ball this season
It’s better than 50% that the rays chock in this game.
chock = choke
