Dude, I saw him first. He's mine.

Let's end this inning tied boys. Coco, for the love of God, do not swing at the first pitch.

Well we got 1. We'll get em next inning.

Coco is the most unreliable hitter ever.

One more strong inning from Snyder will look really good right about now

Are Damon and Giambi sporting the cheesey porn staches?

Coco Crap

please please bring youk back to the lead off

Coco you f*cking asstard I HATE YOU e589y4e75975u3w957w3p587u3w5u STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH YOU #987aw3957w0q398573w953

How many pitches has Coco seen today?

Yeah, and hit Hinske 5th

This is my father yesterday:

"Jesus Christ, what good is this Eric Hinske character? Wasn't he supposed to be good, and he can't even start for the Blue Jays? Why do we need him? Can he pitch? He's useless, we need pitchers!"

This is my father today:

"(the phone rings after Hinske's ground rule double) Hey Joe, I just called to say that if I could have picked just one player to get this August, it would have been Eric Hinske... okay, well I just called to tell you I am the President of the Colorado Springs chapter of the Eric Hinske fan club."

My father is not really that negative, like in the first conversation, he does it mostly as a joke, but it's funny to see his complete 180 on the Eric Hinske subject.

is it wrong of me to like Hinske over Willy Mo?

Only getting 1 run there really sucks.

I'm really curious about Coco's power. He just popped up a meatball down the middle. I'm wondering if he's had some injury that we don't know about.

Unbelievable. Could have easily knocked Wang out of the game there by just taking some pitches. How many times have we gotten to him in the 5th or 6th and hes imploded?

Instead with 2nd and 3rd and nobody out it takes him 5 PITCHES to get out of the inning. He was obviously rattled, TAKE SOME PITCHES!

No but to like him over Wily Mo is wrong. He needs to get more AB's in future games though. Lowell needs a rest.

still yet to get a hit with a runner in scoring position

youk could probably use a few days himself too

WTF - you are NOT Arod.

If he keeps hitting like this, Hinske to RF + WMP to CF vs. RHP. The D may take a huge downgrade, but anything to stop CocOut from trying to destroy this offense.

Dang it. We just can't catch a break today can we...why does it always seem like the Yankees have the advantage and we always have to climb back into the game. I'm gonna have a heart attack...haha

Lowell needs more stylish sunglasses. He looks like an old lady with those things

And what comes after an error? A hit. Ugh.

Can any Sox pitcher get out Abreu?

Fvck

This AB scares me.....

I have a bad feeling...

I'll shotgun a Beast for a double play here.

WTF man. That meeting on the mound sure worked well.

I knew it...

Dissapointing. They're a good team. Period. You can't make silly errors like that.


Well it doesn't matter, I guess. Our offense is going to have to start hitting with guys in scoring position if we want to win this game. We've blown opportunities every inning.

That was a double play ball. Why the shift there?

Put out the fire, Arod.

Maybe if the Red Sox could get just 1 basehit, Just like that ,with a runner RISP things would be different.

yuuuuup.

And that my folks is the ballgame.

Manny f**king blows ass. You lazy f**ktard.

****ing Mc********.

but arod isn't supposed to hit in the clutch

manny playing shallow bit him in the ass there

Given that it's Johnson and Snyder, I'd say 6 runs in 7 innings is kind of an achievement. Assuming we get the next out.

All we can hope for is the Sox to win 3 out of 4 now...and even that is probably a stretch.

They need two outs....

Lowell's error killed us.

Good - so now we get to make sure a key arm like Delcarmen will not be available tonight. I like our chances of getting to Ponson tonight, but I don't like Lester's chances of seeing the 5th inning, unless it is on the clubhouse TV. We needed our best arms for tonight.

Disclaimer: the following is off topic banter

re: Hinske's performance today....

I just had a flash back of Rob Deer's first game as a member of the Sox.....I remember it well because I was at the park that day. I looked up the date, it was 8/23/93, he went 3 for 6 with a HR in his first at bat in a Sox uni. (box score)

Back to the heart attack that is Kyle Snyder....

if manny can hold them here, we have a good chance, 3 runs against the yankee bullpen isn't imossible

edit: okay cancel the comeback

That would require getting key hits with RISP...something that the Sox have seemed to forgotten how to do.

EDIT: I think I can go grocery shopping now.

With the way Protor, Farnsworth & Rivera have been pitching lately it is...

Bottom line, our pitching has been nothing short of awful the last month and now its being exposed big time by a good lineup.

Now yes, its over.

good job manny, good catch

wow 3 strait hits with RISP... Imagine that... Must be nice...
