  9. Scutaro lines to SS, flip to 2B to double off Drew. But umpire blows the call and calls him safe. So 2 outs. ... Ellsbury ends inning.

  10. Very clear out at second, umpire standing right there, still can't get it right.

    I do not look forward to a season of shitty calls on obvious plays

  12. MLB has 34 pitches in the 1st for Figueroa. NESN says it's 36.

    If NESN info ever differs, it is almost always wrong.

    Crawford F7
    Gonzalez 6-3

    BOS - 50

  32. Our catcher is only batting .417--we need a Molina!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm relieved Beckett is looking so good. And, Salty? Who knows -- sky's the limit. Or at least a .900 OPS or so.

    ReplyDelete
  34. am hoping that friar tuck fixed salty's problems - sure beats cacti behind the plate.

  35. Was at this game tonight. Wonder why such a sparse crowd.

    At the 7th Inning Stretch, after TMOTTBG, they play The Stars At Night...

    Looking forward to a real game Friday.
