Pedroia might be under 120 now with the insane 12! games he's started in a row - we've gotta get AC some at-bats.

If you were really wishing for it, you'd catch Varitek, DH Cash, Lugo to SS, Clayton to 3B (he actually played the 9th inning there Sunday night).
Just a win tonight please.

You can't let the yankees loose, they're a menace to society.
That lineup looks much more respectable than some recent ones.
We've gotta win tonight, tee off on Litsch, not let the bullpen blow it, etc.
The Orioles actually attempting to play well aganst the Yanks would be great too...but we've gotta focus on winning our own games.

This is probably the "ugliest" matchup of pitchers. 
I really want Papi to go deep right here and now. C'mon, David, we need to score early and often.
This is gonna be a long night.
Same old, same old....
Clay's stuff is absolutely filthy. We are definitely going to enjoy the Buchholz era.
Nice inning, Clay.
I don't think it's going to be a long night. I think the worst is over. Let's get to the bats right here and get some runs for Clay.

They are a pack of money grubbing mercenaries, so its appropriate to say "Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war."
woooo anemic lineup.
I can't tell who I hate more, Varitek or Hinske.

They may be money-grabbing mercenaries and pigs, but I wish our offense had half of their fire power.
It hurts me to keep watching how the Sox make mediocre pitchers look like Cy Young candidates.
That sounded like a long out.
He gone.
DAMN, now Hideki is getting red hot hes adding other red hot to MFY.. seems they win alot of games by homeruns crap.. already 1-0
CHANGE-PIE!

Hinske is a league average hitter playing a reserve role. Why the **** do people hate him so much?
QUOTE(Jermaine Van Buren Fan @ Sep 19 2007, 07:43 PM)

It's not like he's a stud defensivly and offers nothing with the bat. He's not even a base threat.

I just said he offers league average production as a backup, something only a few teams have. It's just such an irrational hatred - why?

Not many teams have a backup 1B that hits .213?

I LOVE BATTING AVERAGE.
God, I thought you were actually gathering some intelligence. Please return to killing yourself.
Red Sox radio just offered up that the guy who threw two consecutive no-hitters (sorry - name escapes me) was under .500 for his career. Something like 119-121. Do we hope that a Blue Jay gets a knock somewhere?
Honestly. What the f*ck has happened to the offense. This is pathetic. PATHETIC. Inexcusable.
We should be killing this guy Listch, this is sad. Come on guys
1-1/2

I'm not a big BA guy myself but let me look at his other stats. I'm watching gameday but I am assuming his other stats are not pretty.AVG .215 | HR 6 | RBI 21 | OBP .332 | SLG .429 Ok, nevermind, I offically hate you 
However, he is still not fast and is only used as a back up 1B who plays LF/RF in a pinch. His defense is not good. I would want more from his bat if that is the case.I'm seriously surprised by the .429 SLG with his .215 BAQUOTE(8WasGreat @ Sep 19 2007, 07:56 PM)

16 outs short. Johnny Van der Meer, the record is safe.
First hit of the game, Thomas.
Shocking. Our new nemesis not named Jeter.

Is the .215 the result of not playing frequently? He hit between .243 and .279 as an everyday player in Toronto. He also won Rookie of the Year.
I feel like we are going to break out soon....let's get some runs for Clay
Hey waddaya know, JD's not useless...
JD Drew's the best!
