Livan Hernandez is bringing the heat today.
Very nice inning. The guys' approach was great, and a very good job particularly by Papi to get a base hit on a 60 mph hit.
Looks like we may be able to concentrate on the Celtics tonight.

I think Manny has thrown behind every single baserunner at 2nd base in this series. Hasn't caught any of them yet.
I shouldn't say things.

I shouldn't say things.
If it's any consolation, I think I'm the only one who read what you wrote.
I do blame you, don't get me wrong. But it's only me.
We, or I assumed after the no hitter that Clay is going to pitch well all the time. Not so. Hope Bartolo continues to come along. May need him soon.
Philips got it right: minor leagues should be in Clay's immediate future.
Yeah, I think its time to see if Bartolo can pitch in the majors. Maybe one more start, and then lets go.
They say things always work themselves out with excess pitching; I guess they were right. Clay needs time in Pawtucket.
How do we only have 3 runs?
Hernandez doesn't even really seem to be hitting his spots well. We're just getting ourselves out.

Bats have been pretty cold since the first. Would love to see a comeback. C'mon Cora!Ok, with Cora on, it's time for the top of the order to come into effect.Rally hats fastened on! C'mon Manny! Hit #499 to tie this.
