Ugh, Hughsie fooling nobody here.

 

You see the pitcher is a left hander, if I put a right hand hitter in his place it's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ball games.

 

Remind me again how many lefties we have faced this year and how many Mauer has sat out against?

 

Also, what's our record in those games?

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

No i think we should disagree about agreeing... (er, to disagree?)

Dude look out, something just whizzed over your head.

 

  The past has no bearing on right now, especially where Mauer is concerned.

Well, it's been a while since I've had either of them, so I guess I'm just going on instinct/faded memories.

Boston has a 2-1 advantage halfway through the third.

 

  So we are going to see the Lapanta, Blyleven show tomorrow.

Does Phil Hughes need Rick Anderson?

Hughes better settle down, but if we don't start hitting, what's the difference. 

3-1 with this lineup? Might as well be 10-1. ball game, hopefully they can salvage a split in the night cap.

 

I always thought Milwaukee could do better.  

I'm not sure they could do worse.

 

  Anyone in Sioux Falls? Going to be watching tomorrow at something called Munk's House of Ale Repute.

Yes and I have been there.  Small bar, great name.

Way to go, Danny

 

3-1 Boston at the end of 4

 

CBU

Christ on a crutch!

The phrase i'm fond of is "jumping jesus on a pogo stick" (which is from a dead milkman's song, i believe)

 

But that's pretty good too!

Way to go, Danny

Think!

 

What did we do against Toronto?

I do not get Ryan's hurry to give Hughes an extension after one good season.  We have a lot of money tied up on average pitchers.

Pedroia owning Hughes this season, WOW.  

 

I'm mildly encouraged by 8 hits (2 doubles) and a walk over 4 innings yielding only 3 runs.

 

But we're still behind.

This is the ugliest 3-1 game I have watched.  Seems like it should be about 8-1.

 

Dude look out, something just whizzed over your head.

This game has gotten out of hand.

Get the hook!

 

  We just need a crooked number.

Kind of chuckled at Ortiz throwing up his arms after he ripped one up the middle and got out.  I didn't seem him doing that on that pop fly double off the monster.  I get that there is tradition and all of that, but I kind of thing the ball park is a joke.

5-1 Red Sox CBU, as Hughes is chaste. Er, i mean chased.

 

Santana on with an infield single to deep short.

 

(I don't know if i'm proud of my restraint, or kicking myself for a missed joke opportunity while Toronto was the opponent of using the adjective Santanian)

 

And a walk to Dozier. Is something brewing?

Pressly first out of the pen today with a 4 run deficit in the 5th inning.  A sign that they want to use him before they send him down?

 

Still not a Stauffer situation? What is a Stauffer situation?

This has potential.

  It's Plouffy time.

Thinking exact same thing.  Surely I respect Moli for not using him, but couldn't we fill that 25th spot w/ a better use?
