I will be representing RSN at the Coliseum tonight. Here's hoping Matsuzaka is on his game, and Lenny is not!

is that anything like how represent RSN.net at the denver city jail?
come on Boston...losing 5 out of 6 really sucks.....lets win
I think we've got this one.
I mean come on.. we had our 5th starter last night, a depleted bullpen, and the entire bench was in the game.
And we still almost won.
Tonight we have our 3rd starter (who could really be our 2nd), our usual line-up, and well-rested Okajima and Papelbon.
I think we'll be ok.

I really wish I could join you fine folks in watching this game, but I'm off to nationals in Cinci.
Go Sox, and Go Green Lake!

Wow, Lugo hit a ball hard that didnt go right at a fielder... maybe his luck is finally changing..
Its only a matter of weeks until everyone can write articles about how "no one could see" Lugo turning it around like this.

Lead-off hit by Lugo!
Haven't seen that in a while

Stop bunting, DP. That's infuriating.
If we lose to Lenny Dinardo, I am giving up on the season

Haha.. I think we've got this one.
I realize this is premature, but I just have a feeling.
Right off the wall....err... never mind
Love to hear all those Sox fans there!!!
I'm liking the look of the line-up tonight.
It's not nearly as dismal at the bottom as it was last night.

I would really like to get to bed by 1:30 tonight.... After a Sox win of course.
Daisuke looks good but does anyone else think he's missing his spots? A couple of times it seemed Tek was spotted outside and he had to move the glove inside
Letting the A's hang around way too long with Lenny pitching.......
I hate Eric Chavez.
Alot.
Lenny has looked sloppy..
he should be out of this by now.

Can we stop with that high cheese stupidness? We never fool any batter, its 99% an easy "ball" and sometimes when you dont locate well you have some mediocre like Chavez driving it out.

I agree. No one ever falls for it and it can only lead to crap like that.
Pena strikes out again. What a pile of puke.

Not only that but even if the batter isn't trying to sneak a look for location he knows when the catcher stands up.
what do ya know ... a soft tossing crappy lefty and we cant score a run
shocker

Ugh.
Crisp is killing us.

2 at bats, 4 outs for Coco.
This offense against Dinardo...this is just some embarassing sh*t right now.
Red Sox have 1 hit and 3 GIDP. I thought they were supposed to mail in yesterday's game, not today's.

Shhhhhh!!!! The Yankees might hear you and get Jamie Moyer.

Not sure why they just don't call up Igawa for Sox only games.
And he walks a .190 hitter. Great stuff.
Enough is enough. Trade Crapo Crisp already. No more excuses for him, he simply is not a good Major League Baseball ballplayer.
Trade him for anything. A bag of balls, Lou Pinella, whatever has little value right now. Even A-Rod's mouth is more productive than Coco Crisp.

I'd almost rather see Coco bunt everytime he's up...even with two outs. The only thing I'm sure he can do well is run, so might as well give us our best odds at his at bats.

I think ARod's mouth can be very productive. I hear that his smiling like a donut skills are off the charts, especially for tranny strippers.

But, Did you see that catch that.... oh nevermind.
Actually I'd rather they brought up Ellsbury, see how he adapts and if all goes well then dump Crisp.
Yeah, it might be Ellsbury time. The kid will AT LEAST give us the ONLY thing that Coco gives - speed. Dump Crisp now while some moron GM thinks he might still blossom into something.
The guy is just so terrible. Even if Crisp hit .300 for the rest of the year it wouldn't make up for how much he's hurt us already. Everytime he's up it's a chopper somewhere in the infield, he clearly has terrible hand/eye coordination.

Of course this won't happen since his trade value will be actually a bag of balls at that point, but there is something to be said for throwing in a rookie for the first time in the MLB when we have such a large lead at this point. Not a bad time actually to try different things and see what sticks when you have room to make mistakes.

Julio Lugo says hello, too.
DiNardo couldn't throw a one hitter for the Sox in just the first inning.
What the hell is going on here?

JD Drew, Lugo, and Crapo need to start taking heat. With over 25 million tied up between the three of them, it's about time they did something. It's getting pathetic. Youks, Papi, Manny, Lowell, and Pedroia can't do it all.
Alright..
Lets put something together!

Finally a reason to like Randy Johnson...
...just struck out his 4,605th batter to pass Clemens for 2nd all time.
