Itching to see a no-hitter? Well ...
No Red Sox hitter has faced 23-year-old Garrett Olson, who will make just his third Major League start.It's the Fox game.
Why yes, I was rater wanting to see a no-hitter. I'd just rather see it from INSIDE the ballpark than via slingbox on my phone from the jersey turnpike which is seeming more and more likely. Grrr... 20mph would be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that Cy Olson will do the honors, however, not JB.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hear you there, but I'm choosing to believe otherwise! Not that it matters, since I'm not likely to see any of it at this rate. Still in Jersey.

The Sox are winning this one. Big time. Olson's getting crushed. (Please?)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I just don't set much store by individual pitcher-batter lifetime stats. Even 50, 100 at-bats between them, it seems like it would be more an indication of who had been lucky than who owned whom.
I totally agree. Just offering them as a public service.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I just don't set much store by individual pitcher-batter lifetime stats. Even 50, 100 at-bats between them, it seems like it would be more an indication of who had been lucky than who owned whom.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in long careers. It's meaningless.
Although my least favourite is batter or pitcher vs teams. That's just completely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my least favourite is batter or pitcher vs teams.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the "modest three-game hitting streak"?
wow living in brookyln i never get to see the sox on fox! good thhing the mets and MFY play later...
ReplyDeleteyes, we SHOULD wins this puppy.
Why don't you get the Fox national game in Brooklyn when the Sox are on? We always did in NYC.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the "modest three-game hitting streak"?
ReplyDeleteargh
Is he riding that streak, or toting it?
L-girl said...
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you get the Fox national game in Brooklyn when the Sox are on? We always did in NYC.
cause they usually show the yanks or the mets....
cause they usually show the yanks or the mets....
ReplyDeleteYou mean there are two national games and one of them usually is a NY team?
LOB-otomy.
ReplyDeleteNo fair balls hit by the Sox until Olson's 24th pitch.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the known record is?
not sure how it works...it seems like theres a couple of "national games" depending which market yr in. all i know is that i missed maybe 4 or 5 sox games last year do to this and i believe 2 so far...and had to suffer thru gameday.
ReplyDeletetoday for instance, if i lived in st. louis id be seeing the la/cards game...
there goes the no-hitter
ReplyDeleteGot to be either BBs or Ks to start a game.
ReplyDeleteTigers record for consecutive strikeouts to start a game is 6 by John Hiller against Cleveland, August 6, 1968
Mets record is also 6 -- Pete Falcone, vs. Philadelphia, May 1, 1980
World Series record is 5
Mort Cooper, Cardinals, October 11, 1943
Sandy Koufax, Dodgers, October 23, 1963
fuck yeah... dp!
ReplyDeleteAllan, what are you on about?
ReplyDeleteAL record is 7 -- Joe Cowley of Rangers against Chicago, May 28, 1986 (no pitch count available)
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what the most pitches a pitcher has thrown in a start before a fair ball is hit.
ReplyDeleteOlson threw 23 today.
The pitcher can only walk, strikeout or hit the batters.
How are you looking it up?
ReplyDeleteAnd there goes the other no-hitter! Tangible.
ReplyDeleteYippie kiiii now lets get them home
ReplyDeleteb2b hits from varitek and dj werd - what are the odds?!
ReplyDeleteNo question we make the Beckett deal! You'd give up Beckett for Hanley Ramirez? Shit.
ReplyDeletepitching pitching pitching
ReplyDeletethat's how you win in october. not hanley ramirez vs lugo.
***
anyone?
fuckin coco.
ReplyDeletelet's not waste this.
How are you looking it up?
ReplyDeleteThe Google.
"most strikeouts to start game"
Hardly the best way.
I'm stopping now, though.
i'll continue to curse lugo if he keeps producing everythime i voice my haterd for him!
ReplyDeleteHanley Ramirez is Jose Reyes Jr.
ReplyDeleteFunny you say that. I think Jose Reyes is so over-rated.
Beckett is money, but he will get hurt.
Hanley Ramirez will never get hurt?
IMO, the answer to your original question is obvious. I'm interested to hear what others say. Redsock, 9Casey, s1c...?
Hanley Ramirez is Jose Reyes Jr.. what he brings to your ballclub is inestimable.
ReplyDeleteIt's intangible??? I want stuff that can be measured, stuff that contributes to wins.
You can't get pitchers like Beckett for free, you got to give up quality (or potential quality). I do the trade 11 out of 10 times.
hanley ramirez already got hurt.
ReplyDeletehes gonna have that shoulder problem for the rest of his life. popping in and out..
I was pretty shocked at how badly Lugo has been doing this year... he's always been a pretty solid player.
ReplyDeleteSure, we all were. He's been fine since the huge o-fer ended.
(Didn't someone post his numbers since July 8 yesterday?)
i'll continue to curse lugo if he keeps producing everythime i voice my haterd for him!
Keep it up, you're doing great!
I'm stopping now, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. :)
Yes, Lugo has been mostly a big bag of suck. A 63 OPS+ (hell, even the SWHB is at 74).
ReplyDeleteAny Yankees near 63 for comparison? Cairo is at 70. Kevin Thompson at 59.
No one expected such a dismal performance. I wish Tito would stop hitting him leadoff every so often. It's beyond stupid.
Hey you all, even though I'm at work today, I'm in a great mood, listening to music and following the game on gameday, and here's my prediction for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees will never come closer than 5 games of us.
And they will lose the wildcard by 1 game.
How's that? (Yankee Mike, your answer doesn't count. :) )
anyone else feel like theyre watching C's vs. Hawks '88 style, with dick stockton doing the game? haha
ReplyDeletenice 1-2-3
ReplyDeleteCome on Manny, over the wall with that ball!
ReplyDeleteAnd Beckett is young. He's only six month older than Papelbon.
ReplyDeletePlus we signed me after the trade for 3 years at an average of only 10 per (and a club option for 2010).
anyone who thinks Jose Reyes is overrated, has never seen him play
ReplyDeleteand anyone who thinks that's how you judge a player's worth isn't really qualified to judge
It's also unfortunate not enough national attention gets drawn to the 100 million being dished out for Drew and Lugo.
Why's that, Mike? Why should "national attention" be drawn to two players salaries? What's your point?
I don't get it. The day I'd wander over to a Yankees blog to say "Jeter - I hate him deeply, but imagine...".
ReplyDelete(I don't hate Jeter deeply or any other way. I'm just wondering why people bother.)
Ortiz having to take so many days off is going to be huge...
ReplyDeleteThere has been no mention whatsoever of his future playing schedule.
Pedroia, I hate him deeply
Why?
And Beckett is young. He's only six month older than Papelbon.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah? Well Hanley Ramirez is only 2 years old!
dr doubles!
ReplyDeletedr doubles!
ReplyDeletewow, same typing and everything :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Red Sox are never a national story. Toiling away in obscurity.
ReplyDeleteAnd spending all that money. How awful. Says a Yankees fan.
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry, he's "respectful".
Beckett, you make the trade every time. Hanley will be a good SS, but Beckett has the potential to win 18-20 games per year for the next 14 years. As for injuries? He has had 1 since he became a sox and missed 3 starts. That is much better than the Marlins every got out of him.
ReplyDeleteas L-girl said PITCHING, PITCHING❣ ❣
Drew❣ ❣
Glad folks agree re Hanley/ Beckett. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
ReplyDeletes1c what do those squares mean?
Mike said...
ReplyDeleteOrtiz ... Pedroia ... Lowell ... 100 million being dished out for Drew and Lugo.
It sounds like you are trolling for an argument.
We don't do that here.
Big heart Exclamations
ReplyDeleteI will try harder not to take the bait.

ReplyDeleteThis game is very important. Now is no time for a slide.... NY is right behind us and crushing their opponents in the proces.
ReplyDeleteif he wants to hang out and chat, that's cool. (we had fun with that tigers fan during the detroit series.)
ReplyDeletebut anything even remotely trollish will be deleted asap. i don't issue warnings.
This game is very important. Now is no time for a slide.... NY is right behind us and crushing their opponents in the proces.
ReplyDeleteI disagree.
Five games is not "right behind". This game is no more important than any other game. We have to win as many as possible.
See you in the playoffs
ReplyDeleteIf you have a television, you can.
you all are so jaded
ReplyDeleteyou should get a dictionary.
you can love Beckett all you want, but you cannot discredit Hanley's talent
find one post where anyone did that.
go. now. find one.
you asked a question, we all answered. we'd rather have beckett than hanley ramirez. no one discredited hanley.
I'm not very good at that not-baiting-taking thing, am I.
ReplyDeletemy 4 years of going to school in boston have made me bitter.
ReplyDeleteFour years of school in Boston? Poor kid. The owner of this blog lived in NYC for almost 20 years.
could we discuss the fucking game, please? or cereal? or some county in CT without nesn?
ReplyDeletein second place, not very far behind are the Red Sox...whose fans cry Evil Empire. 100 million for Dice K, 70 for JD drew, 40 for Lugo...
give it a fucking rest.
see you in the first round.
it is impossible for the sox and yanks to meet in the first round.
Fragging dog - making me miss posts the squares are symbols of some type (typing alt-xxx). they don't come through.
ReplyDeleteActually I am using the decimal Unicode for the heart.
Feeling pretty good since I actually got some fragging sleep today! So thought I would be different. However, if L-girl is getting just boxes it just isn't worth the effort :)
Re payroll, read here.
ReplyDeletecould we discuss the fucking game, please? or cereal? or some county in CT without nesn?
ReplyDeletei'm trying. you wouldn't believe it, but i'm actually trying to restrain myself.
ok, back to the game.
i promise.
Mother Fucking Yankees.
ReplyDeletewild card cannot play team within its own division
ReplyDeletere payroll, go Imitation.
ReplyDeletehey don't curse at your dog :)
ReplyDeleteWhew - lucked out there!
ReplyDeleteShut up about the MFY!
Mike... the Yankees are not the "Evil Empire", just a monopoly on a sport. When teams have all the cash to get what players they wat while other teams can't, the sport becomes less competitive. In essence, NY has always had the capital, hence the amount of championships and Pennants.
ReplyDeleteBaseball needs a cap, that insures competition nd spreads the fan nostalgia of a possibility that any team could go to the World Series. As a result, baseball would generate more money....
Monopolies kill competition making baseball less of a game between players and more of a business.
You can be anti-Yankees and still be anti-salary-cap. I oppose a salary cap.
ReplyDeleteBut we're trying to talk about the game, right?
Not cursing, he's just driving me nuts. About the third time in the last 30 minutes that he has been back and forth from outside!
ReplyDeleteBaseball has been a business since 1860 or so.
ReplyDeleteThis ain't new.
Monopolies kill competition making baseball less of a game between players and more of a business.
ReplyDeleteMarkus, baseball is a business and always has been.
You might not want to use that argument, it is too easily ripped.
And how the hell can 1 team out of 30 be a monopoly?
ReplyDeleteHaha..
ReplyDeleteMFY...'Jeter Swallows'...etc.
That's precisely the thing I am talking about.
Should've known..
Jesus Mike, have you been to Yankee Stadium when the Sox are in town????
My only problem with the salary structure right now, is that if you are going to enforce a Luxury Tax that spreads money to the smaller market teams, THEY NEED TO SPEND THAT MONEY TO MAKE THEIR TEAM BETTER, not pocket it.
ReplyDeleteEnd of Rant.
'Jeter Swallows'
ReplyDeleteActually that's the kind of shit I delete.
its nice being a red sox fan right nw. you only have to worry about yrself.
ReplyDeleteas for the yanks, they have to worry about not only themselves...but a lot of different variables.
s1c, you're so right. it's amazing that the owners of the Royals, Twins, etc can just pocket that money, not even obliged to put it back into player development or salaries.
ReplyDeleteActually that's the kind of shit I delete. ditto!
ReplyDeleteFair shmair, you are ruining this game thread.
ReplyDeleteOh, P.S.
ReplyDeleteWe don't say "That said" around here.
Seriously.
I was wondering if you'd snag him on that! :)
ReplyDeleteMike, if you have to interview us, could you at least ask questions that make one iota of sense?
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with boiler rooms? freaking spend most of my life in those!
ReplyDeleteCome on Josh, lets get a DP here. Ok, a K will do!
The Yankee teams that actually starting win the WS recently weren't built on high payroll...'96? '98? no way.
ReplyDeleteThe 1996 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 1997 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 1998 Yankees had the #2 payroll. ($200,000 less than Baltimore)
The 1999 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 2000 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 2001 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 2002 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
The 2003 Yankees had the #1 payroll.
Do I need to go on?
boiler rooms? what i miss?
ReplyDeleteTEK - Oh Captain, My Captain!
ReplyDeleteredsock... In general you are right. I'm implying a balance between sport and business. The business end insures that teams like NY will become yearly favorites with the revenue they generate. Some favor the business aspect over the game. I would just like balance....
ReplyDeleteLet coaches and players decide what teams wins the game. $$$$$ has too much influence on the game.
Closer.
ReplyDeleteHeh, that's where Allan went, he was collecting links. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it has sort of sucked to be a Yankee fan this year...
Poor you.
Fox was making fun of Francona meeting with Papelbon in the Boiler room of his apartment. At least he wasn't boiling etc.
ReplyDelete$$$$$ has too much influence on the game.
ReplyDeleteI could show you quotes from 1860, 1890, 1910, 1930, 1950, 1970 and 2000 that say this exact thing.
It has never been any other way.
Do I need to go on?
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't because even though they still have the #1 payroll, they've stopped winning.
Facts are wonderful things. We rely on them here.
I know my shit, please don't treat me like I don't.
ReplyDeletePlease don't come around here asking stupid questions.
Money and who has it will always be a part of the game. Always has been. Go back and look at year end trades before free agency and you will see a ton being for cash considerations. That is why the KC Royals etc. have to be smart with their scouting etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's just my opinion. It's not my blog.
ReplyDeleteBeckett, Dice-K, Wakefield, Lester
ReplyDeleteBuchholz? Someone from somewhere else? The Bot will not start.
I know my shit, please don't treat me like I don't.
Except for the first place team not playing the wild card from its own division, perhaps.
that makes your rotation next year: Beckett, Dice-K, Wakefield, Lester?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Theo will forget to get us a 5th starter or to replace Wakefield if necessary. If Schilling leaves and Papelbon closes, I guess we'll just have a 3 man staff.
Now I have work. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteMike, perhaps you "know your shit" on things Yankees-related. However, if you knew the first thing about the Red Sox, you would know that Papelbon is the closer. Period.
ReplyDeleteI better get out of here while this "respectful" Yankees fan is hanging around. Later.
ReplyDeleteBeckett, Dice-K, Wakefield, Lester?
ReplyDeleteHmm, let's see thats 14 wins, 13 wins, 13 wins as of right now. So the top three next year will probably be projected to win somewhere between 52-58 games.
Oh, yeah, lets not forget Bucholtz who might win 10 games next year just in august and september.
I will take those four or five pitchers.
Meanwhile the Yanks top three will be Wang (good but over rated), Hughes (might win 15) and who?
Who cares about separation? I don't. (I don't even care that their payroll is so high.)
ReplyDeleteYou wrote The Yankee teams that actually starting win the WS recently weren't built on high payroll ... no way.
The #1 payroll is high -- by definition.
You were dead wrong. On every single year.
Wow you all are testy in here... good God.
ReplyDeleteNo one is forcing you to stay.
FYI: Unlike 99% of most blogs, boards, etc., I insist on civil behaviour. Trolling for comments on Sox salary or whatever will not be met with happiness.
So be civil or go the fuck home.
Not 20 years in NY. More like 40. I'm from New York.
ReplyDeleteI was a Yankees fan - a diehard, went to tons of games, playoffs, WS - until 2003.
Rookie contracts, sure. What about the big money mistakes that Steinbrenner could just eat and move on?
ReplyDeleteAck, there I go again. Bye.
ReplyDeleteYou said the 1996 payroll was not high
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it was the highest in the game.
That's a fact.
Who cares how they split it up?
Oh god, please don't discuss this.
ReplyDeleteWow.... |-girl-|
ReplyDeleteYou were a NY fan for quite a while, what changed your mind?
Oh god, please don't discuss this.
ReplyDeleteIf you're talking to me, I'm done. Really. I am.
charlie hayes was splitting third with Boggs
ReplyDeleteHayes started only 15 games at third base for the 1996 Yankees.
...
(Alright, Sock, stop it!!!!)
You could have a nice little email conversation with her about it.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Mike, you may not have noticed but the Sox problem has not been starters. Whenever a starter has gone down, the Sox have called up people who have done the job. Starters ERA 4.24 in 707 2/3 innings.
ReplyDeleteYankees on the other hand couldn't keep their starters on the field and those they called up didn't fare well either. 28 million for Clemens ring a bell! Yankees starters - 4.71 in 646 innings.
And don't even start with the bullpen because Mariano is the only pitcher in your pen that would make the Sox team.
How is Clemens doing?
ReplyDeleteneeding a change from the NY scene... latching on to the 2004 winning ways... natural inclination to follow the leader
ReplyDeleteSince I can't ban myself, I can say it:
Stop being an asshole.
And I don't care if think you are not being an asshole, as far as this blog goes, you are.
Let's let that Clemens question be the last of it, m'kay?
ReplyDeletenatural inclination to follow the leader
ReplyDeleteThat's true. I was tired of hanging around such a bunch of losers.
Sorry, but I was really asking an honest question.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone watching the goddamn game?
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the game..... Becket has good control today.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes of course, and here comes the force out of Roberts at second!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I was really asking an honest question.
ReplyDeleteHis stats are online. And he's a fat fuck.
That about covers it.
Through six, way to go Joshie!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching, as much as I can on Gameday. I'm also working. And ignoring idiots. (Some at work, some not.)
ReplyDeletePoor Markus, he's new here, he doesn't know Clemens is the anti-christ. Check out the Joy of Sox glossary, Markus.
ReplyDeleteYeah... well... trust me, it's not like I want him to do well.
ReplyDeleteHas any one heard about who is going to pitch in the Double Header next Friday? Just wondering if Bucholtz will be called up.
ReplyDeleteGood base running by the Youk!
ReplyDeleteOfficially, I think it's Beckett/Schilling in the DH.
ReplyDeleteBut plenty of fans are wondering about Clay.
How many pitches did Olson have before getting yanked? Now they have a guy that pitches with an 7+ ERA?
ReplyDeleteI don't hate Clemens as much as most folks around here. I just think he's a freak.
ReplyDelete115 for Olson.
ReplyDeleteYou can post anything at all about Fat Billy. Anything. That's Rule #6.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate TCM, I loathe him. I'm in the camp that he tanked while with the Sox and then decided he would use the roids etc. after he left. Also, like Damon, he chose the MFY's.
ReplyDeleteLove the Simpsons burger king commercials.
115.....? Nice. One thing I have noticed is the Red Sox kill pitchers even in games they lose. High pitch counts.
ReplyDeleteYou can post anything at all about Fat Billy. Anything. That's Rule #6.
ReplyDeleteWritten or unwritten? What's is 1-5?
Love the Simpsons burger king commercials.
ReplyDeleteThe Simpsons shouldn't be doing commercials! It's so wrong.
Oh wait, I know, Groening needs the money, right?
I may have to post the Rules -- once I come up with them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe FB should be Rule #1.
I may have to post the Rules -- once I come up with them.
ReplyDeleteBadges! We don't need no stinking badges!
Or in this case rules!
I guess I'll watch this one later tonight when it's archived.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about rules is it saves you the trouble of writing the same thing over and over. You just refer people to the rules.
ReplyDeleteGotta have rules.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone has to call Clemens a child molester at least once a month.
Those kinds of rules.
...
(Actually, I mean civility guidelines like I was trying to quickly explain to our friend from The Other Side. I mean, don't people know you shouldn't go into someone's house and take a dump on the living room carpet?)
Beckett has been lights out. No lead off hitters have reached for the Orioles.
ReplyDeleteI mean, don't people know you shouldn't go into someone's house and take a dump on the living room carpet?
ReplyDeleteThat's why my blog has always needed rules - guidelines. Anything with political content does, or the blog will be ruined by trolls.
(don't people know you shouldn't go into someone's house and take a dump on the living room carpet?)
ReplyDeleteIt took me 3 or 4 times before I was set straight on this, but I learned dammit. I learned. And so can you.
Unfortunately, I think our friend thought he was being civil. Notice he only tried to defend the most expensive payroll, said nothing about his starting pitching next year.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was being trashed regularly by wingnuts - and I mean trashed - they always said they were being respectful.
ReplyDeleteIf you go back through his posts, you can see he was baiting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know. I am an easy mark. Quick to my righteous anger. :)
Bases loaded..... come on Pedroia
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree he was being a bator (and yes that is the way I want that spelled). I just think he thought he was being a nice bator.
ReplyDeleteGood thing my BP is in the 110 range!
I think I should formerly say hello.... Boston native here. Not here to stir up problems like Mike did.
ReplyDeleteMarkus, welcome, just be civil! You are a Red Sox fan right? :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing my BP is in the 110 range!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Good thing I've mellowed with age.
I have. A lot.
Hi Markus :)
ReplyDeleteCool. A little INsurance.
ReplyDeleteHeh. Good thing I've mellowed with age.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Am I a Red Sox fan? Lololol.... up until 2004, I was healing from 1986, so I better be a Red Sox fan....
ReplyDeleteIn that case Markus - you are more than welcome.
ReplyDeleteYOOOOOOOK
ReplyDeleteYook being yook.
Baltimore's bullpen is horrendous. Anyway.... must leave to pick up my better-half. Enjoy the game folks!
ReplyDeleteSome other time I can answer your question about my conversion. The short version is I fell out of love. The Yankees drove me away and the 2003 Red Sox stole my heart.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Sarah is out of Jersey yet.
ReplyDeleteCrap- Being gets robbed!
ReplyDeleteJere is in Baltimore this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI can't belive no one has mention McMoron. Is he off today?
ReplyDeleteArrrgh! WMP replaces manny. Hinske in for Youk!
ReplyDeletethis may sound stupid but get gagne right back out
ReplyDeletethere in the 9th
Isn't McMoron doing the Pirate game?
ReplyDeleteSo who's doing this game? Might be the Manny Hater.
ReplyDeleteI'd put Gagne in too.
ReplyDeleteWerd's having a good day.
ReplyDeleteEric Karros? Is doing this game, he's not bad.
ReplyDeleteLast Shut out for Becket 4/10/2005.
Fox guys asked Francona about Gagne in their in game interview. He was like, hell, I ain't worried about last night, its over seems like it happened ages ago!
ReplyDeleteI would have sent Gagne back out also.
Nice win!
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think we have to worry about Gagne being spooked or shook up. He's not a rookie.
ReplyDeleteFox stat - 56 wins by the Red Sox starters lead the Majors.
ReplyDelete1st lead off guy to reach vs Beckett?
Oops, we didn't win yet. We're not home. Hold that thought...
