Josh Beckett (5.26; 7.00 in eight road starts) / Lance Cormier (6.10), 1:20 PM
Atlanta's scheduled starter, Horacio Ramirez, was scratched because he's still not 100% after being hit in the head by a line drive last Sunday.
Manny's off today. Lineup:
(Beckett has a 1.750 OPS this season! So Tito the Moron bats him 9th. Of course! Jeez.)Youkilis LF
Loretta 2B

Crisp CF

manny needs another day off?!
*blood pressure rising*
i swear, he gets more days off than anyone in that lineup.
Hair like that takes time to care for.
Beckett OPS keeps rolling with his RBI single. Again I'm watching on the Internet, but...he's doing very well for throwing a lot of balls. No hits until the RBI.
I feel for the Braves as they're my NL team, but...no mercy, not when we need it this bad.
i have to say, i was caught up in futbol all afternoon, so red sox were a flick-over-every-few-minutes kinda thing. but ya know, i flicked *alot* ;)
lol @ the hair comment. yr right, i need to consider these things, and it's no big deal. (bloody nancy boy he is;)
yankees lost. muhahaha!!
They Yanks did not lose. They blew a 7-run lead and wasted a JD grand slam and Rivera gave up two runs. There is a difference, you know.
I went into a bar to watch the end of this game and ended up watching soccer, too. Was fun.
*looks around* what?
howeva it happened, THEY LOST.
;D
anyway that *is* losing dude. i know the difference ;p
No, no -- I mean they didn't *just* lose. They ate the big one in a mighty way.
Great rejoicing.
Oh Suzy, you know I can't resist a little Manny-defending.
I believe the record states that Manny has played in the most games for the Red Sox of any player for the past...three years? Maybe only two? I'll check.
2003: Manny (154) 2nd to Nomar (156).
2004: 1st with 152 (Millar, Damon, and Ortiz 150).
2005: 3rd (152) behind Ortiz (159!), and Renteria (153).
He was a perfectly good option for the Sox in 2005 based on past performance. So are Tavarez, Saenz, and so was Riske. There's just been something about arriving in Boston that has ruined relievers the last few years.
Nationals walkoff HR against the Yanks. Bad news is that Wang pitched very well for eight innings. Good news is that if Schill can come through, first place is ours. Jays lose again as well. Last week's funk is a'lifting.
