Too bad the bat broke or that thing was out.

Did he say Nixon has hand injury? missed some of the game

No, Nixon has a swing and miss injury. Oblique, bicep, I don't thing there's any official word yet.

Herschiser>Morgan.

Hmm I didn't think that hit Lowell but he sure as hell did

EDIT: on replay it looked like it hit his hand

Fn ump- make em pay lowell

Good thing he didn't hit Lowell w/ Crisp hitting behind him.

OMFG WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am shocked that Lowell reacted that way. And I agree with him, but you just don't expect it from him.

Wow, I've NEVER seen Mike Lowell react like that. Holy shit, how did he not get tossed?

So if Lowell's helmet hits the umpire, will MLB tell him that he is crazy and it did not?

I think lowell was a little frustraited that he wasnt awarded first

So who will Van Buren drill?

He's only human, and maybe he blows his cool just once a year. Hershiser said it best, that you have to believe the reaction of the player sometimes. Lowell isn't a known hot dog by any stretch. Just the opposite.

lowell was seriously pissed there

here comes van buren to hold em to a 2 run lead

Ok, memo to Terry:

THIS GAME IS NO LONGER GARBAGE TIME.

It is a WINNABLE game.

Therefore, a GARBAGE PITCHER should not be in it. 3 innings ago when it was 6-1, fine.

NOW....NO..

Find somebody who can pitch and bring them in. Now look.

Wow JVB sucks

Are you kidding me? We have no one better to go to in the 6th inning down by 2.

f-ck Theo I hope you are on your cell, on your phone in the basement, or text messaging other teams to get us bullpen help. Guys like Van Buren and Seanez do not belong on potential playoff contenders

SEE THIS IS WHAT I'm talking about!!!

You can't bring him into this game, he'll kill our momentum.

This sucks. What was Curt's pitch count, anyway?

I don't understand how Francona can be such an idiot sometimes.

Son of a.............

I was high on aquiring Van Buren too.

F*&k!

And Tavarez is warming. Yeah, he'll get us out of this mess.

Schilling was at only 89 pitches. Hmmm.

88 Pitches for Curt.

WTF?

Curt had 89 pitches - he had to go. But I think he could have handled this part of the lineup much better Yeah thanks Tito - allow the same pitcher who just loaded the bases with no out to continue. Sad, very sad. Paging Delcarmen to the mound

JVB refuses to throw strikes

Here's the AP report on Trot:

Boston OF Trot Nixon leaves game with side injury

BOSTON --Red Sox right fielder Trot Nixon left Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels after clutching his side when he took a wild swing in the third inning.

Sounds like it could be the oblique again... Can you say DL?

Too bad Coco sucks at throwing.

Delcarmen's got some kind of hand injury.

Nice play. I wish he had an arm.

Tavarez? Interesting call, but knowing Delcarmen is unavailable there really wasn't much choice. I guess. . .

WAIT

Curt was at 89 pitches??????

In a game like this he couldn't give us another inning?????

Jesus F****ing Christ. What the F*** is wrong with this team's management?????

You don't feel urgency to win here or what???? We have to win this game, you battle way back, and now you bring in one of life's true losers and he predicatably gives it right back up, and you have an ace who was finally settling down that had an inning left in him????

What the F***?

Tavarez would have been a better option from teh beginning, by the way. I'll stand by that even if he screws it up worse, now he's got a dirty inning anyway and these aren't his runs.

Woo wee! We look good.

Whatcha gonna do Theo?

this is really really awful - back down 5 runs again. Now Tavarez has to fend over Cabrera and Vlad. I have a feeling we are going to be down by much more than 5 by the end of this inning

Who didn't see that coming?

I hate Tavarez.

Strong and pure hate.

Dude, 6 earned on 10 hits, 6 or 7 for extra bases, call it a night..

13 Freakin pitchers on the 25 man roster has me shakin my head. Giving Terry to many options with a few relievers who should not be up ie VBuren

I can honestly throw better with my left arm. I'm not kidding.

Edit - And I'm not a lefty.

Coco is not even serious with that arm? Seriously, tell me that was a joke.

whoa coco - you really don't have any range at all

As soon as we get 3 runs we give back 4. Nice.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Tavarez =

Seriously Tavrez or Killeverything, or Preacher.

If I was managent I'd call myself or Preacher.

F*&k I hate Tavarez. Ya know what's sad. He can't be worse than Seanez. Or can he?

I hate Tavarez.

And I thought Damon and Bernie Williams had bad arms but Coco takes the cake.

Oh it's completely believeable. Anytime Tavarez is at the park, this scenario runs through my head.

Now the MFY are .5 back or tied.

F&*k I hate Tavarez.

I got tickets for the bud table seats tomorrow this makes me not want to go-

Go. Unless Tavarez is killed in a weird accident or something. I hate that guy.

I GUARANTEE you this guy would have been a better option:

David Riske (8 Bos) 17 0 0 1 0 0 2 15.1 12 6 6 1 9 10 5.87 0.0 1.37 3.52

I'm so glad, Theo, that he was "redundant." And so now when we rally to come back in an important game, we get to go with Van Buren and Tavarez.

Newsflash Theo---not all right handed relievers are created equal. Just because you have a bunch doesn't mean you should trade one of your better ones.

We will not make the playoffs with this bullpen. It just isn't going to happen. And this game is a neon light flashing to the rest of the league that we are desperate for pitching help. We might as well wear a sign that signs "I need pitching, rape me"

Two scoreless innings for Schilling, 89 pitches, and he takes him out after they're back in the game? With that bullpen? That's Francona.

Great pickup that Coco Crisp was. Can't hit, refuses to take a walk, and has no arm. Really worth trading Marte for.
