The Days All Go So Fast, I Turn Around, It's Past....Game Thread

Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 19, 2008 7:07 PM EDT



It is really sad about Shawn Marcum, Tommy John surgery is not something you'd wish on anyone but he should be back ready to go by the start of 2010. Isn't it a coincidence that Tommy John had Tommy John surgery. What are the odds.

So the series we had hopes would mean something doesn't mean anything to us. The Sox are only 1.5 games behind the Rays, so they still could catch them but they are 6.5 games ahead of the Twins in the Wild Card so that is about over.

We have AJ (18-10, 4.19) going, he needs to win both his last two starts to get to 20 wins. JP says he is going to try to get AJ to stay offering more money and more years but that he won't get into a bidding war. Without Marcum, we could really use him next season. Byrd (11-12, 4.53) is pitching for the Sox, I think we've all seen enough of him this year. But it is fun to watch his rocking chair delivery.

I was hoping to see more of Thigpen tonight but Zaun's out there and Moonraker is still in the nine hole. Come on guys; let's sweep them just for the fun of it. Oh the title is from a George Harrison Beatles song, Love You To, on Revolver.

AJ K’s Casey to start the 2nd.

Scooter doubled with one out in the bottom of the first, but a fly out and a Vernon foul pop up ended that threat

by SuckaMD on Sep 19, 2008 7:27 PM EDT reply actions  

If we need a cheap pitcher next year, won't Byrd be an FA?

Plus it means we won’t need to face him. Okay, that’s a terrible idea.

what's your prediction for how the Jays will fill out the rotation next year?

sign a FA on the order of Byrd, Lowe, Perez, etc? Fasttrack Cecil? Sign a bunch of washed-up vets and reclamation projects and hope one works out?

by SuckaMD on Sep 19, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

Cecil has made 6 starts in AAA

That’s a pretty fast track, and his problem there was too many walks.

Think it depends how many guys we are looking for.....

If AJ’s back I would guess we try to get by with what we have, if not better go looking

by Tom Dakers on Sep 19, 2008 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

but even if AJ's back

we have Doc, AJ, Litsch and Purcey. I guess we can throw McGowan there too and hope he comes back alright.

Or Janssen

and his great GB rate.

I never really liked Janssen as a starter

I think I’d rather see him back in the pen. We need some good right handers in there

As did Lind

He's terrible

so should we package Rios and Cito together

Lincecum has pitched 130 pitches in some of his starts lately….and the team has been out of the race since July…..

wasn’t a great throw from Scooter. Might have had Tek at third if the throw home didn’t bounce.

Although, up 2-0, might have been better to concede the run and face Papi with 2 out, none on

It would be his/her first discipline in their life if the stupid parents don’t learn to do it themselves. The Child Protection shit is stupid, and yes i realize that there are limits. A spanking should be legal though.

at Batters Box they had a poll

I guess if BJ isn't available

That had already been announced, so it wouldn’t have been a reason to keep Parrish out of this game.

He had that grand slam in '06, right?

But what else did he do? Was it just that one time, or was there a consistent pattern?
