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


Lineup

Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays

09/19/08 7:07 PM EDT

Boston Red SoxToronto Blue Jays
Jacoby Ellsbury - CF Joe Inglett - 2B
Dustin Pedroia - 2B Marco Scutaro - SS
David Ortiz - DH Alex Rios - RF
Kevin Youkilis - 3B Vernon Wells - CF
Sean Casey - 1B Lyle Overbay - 1B
Jason Bay - LF Adam Lind - DH
Mark Kotsay - RF Scott Rolen - 3B
Jed Lowrie - SS Gregg Zaun - C
Jason Varitek - C Travis Snider - LF

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.

Anyone here?

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   0 recs

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   0 recs

Cecil has made 6 starts in AAA

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

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

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   0 recs

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.

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

by Torgen on Sep 19, 2008 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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

by SuckaMD on Sep 19, 2008 7:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Doesn't work

We’d need a 5th starter 4 times in April.

Overbay saw more pitches

Especially if we sign Manny

because that would let us trade Lind for pitching. (Cain?)

Of course they'd probably want Snider more than Lind.

He'd probably want to wear it every day

Maybe make a deal where he can wear the old hat if he drives in 2 runs.

He's terrible

and if we can deal Lind for the pitcher, we should.

Better under Cito

Was hitting like .340 with RISP since Cito came to town, if I remember the graphic from a few days ago correctly.

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

so should we package Rios and Cito together

for Lincecum and whoever the Giants’ manager is now? Sabean should be into that

by SuckaMD on Sep 19, 2008 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

can't find it now....

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

by Tom Dakers on Sep 19, 2008 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's pretty rough

and with his pitching motion, he sure looks like a TJ-in-waiting without the high-stress outings

Hello people.

Y’all liking the game so far?

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

by bs.uf15bosox9bears23 on Sep 19, 2008 8:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

only 2-0

Who are most of the Jays’ fans rooting for in Tampa? Or do they not care?

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

Again, slap the kid with the book.

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

of the 10 most valuable Jays, and Scoot actually fared quite well. I do think he saved us from a much worse fate, just look at who we were trotting out last season in utility roles for hundreds of at-bats

if he's leaving after this year, possibly to the Yankees

shouldn’t we just keep running him out there so he can’t be effective next year?

As long as he doesn't find out he's hurt

until after he opts out

the way the pitching market is

if he had to miss part of next season, and that made him not opt out, it might still be worth it to us
