Game time: 10:05 pm EDT/7:05 pm PDT
Scheduled Starters: Tim Wakefield (7-7, 4.18) v. Chris Young (6-3, 2.26)
The game will be on NESN.
San Diego weather:
2 pm PDT (5 pm EDT) observation at KSAN: wind out of the south at 13 mph, visibility 9 miles, few clouds at 1,400 feet, temperature 66F, DP 55F.
Forecast: It'll be another cool but pleasant evening. A trough moving inland is allowing a strong inland flow of air off the ocean, and this marine layer is keeping it cool. After the sun goes down, clouds will move in, and a stratus layer will form later in the evening. So it'll be foggy for the SoCal Rooters driving home after the game. The wind will be out of the south to southwest at less than 10 mph: that is blowing out.
Full Version: BOSTON at San Diego, Saturday, June 23, 2007
Let's take advantage and push it to 11.5.

Drew's back though. Hope he picks it up from where he left off in Hotlanta.
Drew's numbers vs. Chris Young, the Padres and at PETCO are horrible, so maybe somethings gotta give.
For some good reading about the difference in fan bases between Red Sox and Padres fans, I suggest TimSullivan's column in the San Diego Union-Tribune.

BOSTON, Calif. – Padre Nation was out in force last night. Out at the movies. Out to dinner. Out of town. Out of touch.
Petco Park, meanwhile, was Red Sox territory. Chowderhead Central. Fenway by the Pacific. Thousands of baseball fans actually paying attention to every pitch.
The Green Monster, it turns out, is envy.

Why yes, it is. Thanks Anni. I thought it would give really good perspectiveconsidering the state of events and the thoughts about the Red Sox fans first
invasion of PETCO Park. Lots of griping here today about how loud the Red Sox
fans are and how the radio broadcast sounded like it was originating from
Fenway last night.
Bard truly is a turd
I am muting MLB.TV. I think these guys are the worst homers yet.
Well, tell your announcers at Channel 4 to F&*K off.
What a bunch of unprofessional goons. Go join Hawk Harrelson and schill for the home team.

These guys are terrible. I understand why Padres fans aren't happy with Belli, and I wouldn't be either, but Matt Vasgersian actually said this on Bard's RBI double: "Oh man, is this hitting replete with sweet irony."
"Take that New England."
God that pisses me off. Before, I didn't care...I maybe even kind of liked the Padres. I love San Diego, I liked the park though I didn't go to a game there.
Now I hate them. I want to crush their skulls this weekend.

Exactly. I realize I am biased but especially compared to Orsillo and Remy, these guys are clowns.
My wife just walked in and said, "These announcers suck". What a woman!
Let's just hope Belli gets some redemption but who cares if he goes 0 for 4 if we get the win!
C'mon Lugo, get a hit and go above the Mendoza line!
if any Red Sox fan on this board misses that Aflec question tonight, they should be cyberslapped.

Answering that simple question should be a requirement for joining this board.
Everyone knows it's Jim Rice and Tony Armas
Edit: for those on NESN, the question on the San Diego feed is who are the only two Red Sox players to hit 50 HR's in a season.

Is it wrong that I'm starting to root for Young? I want the Sox to win, but I think were about to see something special.

I vote it's wrong to root for him unless it's the 9th inninng and it's a possible no-hitter even then, I wouldn't do it, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Wow, Chris Young is pitching a no-hitter.
I repeat, a NO-HITTER
Then again, Boston's offense su*ks. No chance tonight.
Hehhee, Drew leads off the inning with a single!

Julio Lugo right now, might be the worst player in major league baseball

True but 10K through 5IP. He has a chance to get into the high-teens....Belli, Lugo, and Wakefield....
Glad to see the no-hitter is over though. Is it possible that the Yankees lose tommrow just in case?
2-0...
The positive side of me says "game over".
Positive.
Positive.
It's only 3-0 with 4 innings of baseball left. This offense can explode anytime. Don't write them off just yet.

Yes, its wrong. Very wrong. Root for your team to end his "special" night.
You have to want nothing but bad things for your opponents.
this blows!!! the way Young are pitching, we might have to face Hoffman! DAMN! 3 runs for padres with their pitching is like 24K golden!

I admit I was torn in the 7th inning of the Giants/Yankees game today with 2 outs, the score tied and the bases loaded and Bonds up. I decided that I was rooting for a routine grounder to Jeter that he would boot. I don't understand rooting against the Red Sox under any circumstance though.
I'm an inning or so late for this, but I guess we have instant replay in baseball now.
Manny gets a good swing and it's a new game, baby! Let's go Manny!

Young is at 100 pitches. Now we can get at their bullpen. Woot.
That was clearly a HR. F*ckin Bard, F8CK YOU

Manny trapped a ball in left, it was ruled an out. Video replay on the score board. Umpire conference. Ruled a trap.
It's about to happen again with Bard's HR.
You can't have a f@#$ing Umpire Conference after a video replay is on the scoreboard.
Tito's about to get tossed.
This changing the call after video replay is just plain bullshit
I didnt see the umps watching the play on the jumbotron, but if it is because of instant replay that they changed both calls, thats an absolute joke.
Josh Bard says
"I can't catch that pitch, but I sure as hell can hit it."

It doesn't matter that they got it right. You can't conference and overrule if there's NO VIDEO REPLAY in baseball. Because the Umpires have seen the replay, THEY CAN'T OVERTURN THE CALL.
Way to go Tito!

5-0 now. Wakefield is tough to watch often (though offense is struggling again tonight). I still can't believe he hasn't developed a second pitch to even average level over the last 15 yrs. But on the other hand, it's pretty amazing that he has been a serviceable player for over 15 yrs in the majors with what he has.
Anyways, Wakes is especially depressing to watch when I have to see Mirabelli (who is occupying a roster spot solely b/c of Wakefield) and him hit back to back in interleague play.
6-0, Khalil Greene gets his SECOND of the night. God Wake sucks.
I know the SD broadcasters are terrible homers, but they didnt mention the umps watching the replays...

It had to be, you're telling me one of those infield Umpires saw Manny trap the ball from like 300ft. away? BULLSH*T.
On a side note, why is Wakefield still pitching after donging off to Bard?
Wakefield is someone Im looking foward to hanging his spikes...and Mirabelli with him.
Well did they show the video on the HR?
I can't tell bc SD feed isn't saying?
I think Terry's got every right to be pissed, and perhaps get his team riled up.
I think the Sox stay in SD has not been pleasant, even if they win the series. What a bush league organization. I have lost complete respect.

You can also argue that they could have saved the 3B ump some face by not changing the call, so there must be clear evidence for making the call so I guess instant replay + fans reaction did it for them.

Even if he has his share of bad starts, he's a decent pitcher.
I'm going to be sad when I see him go..even though I'll be glad to get a better pitcher.
Where's Czar and his Wakefield ballwashing self?
