Game time: 7:05 pm PDT, 10:05 pm EDT
Scheduled starters: Daisuke Matsuzaka (8-0, 2.40) v. Miguel Batista (3-6, 6.47)
The game will be on NESN
Seattle weather: 4 pm PDT (7 pm EDT) observation at KBFI: Wind out of the north northwest at 7 mph, visibility 10 miles, scattered clouds at 3,200 feet, temperature 69F, DP 52F
Forecast: That upper low is sitting offshore, and there have been some showers in the area today, but they were widely scattered. It looks like another cool night, but a good night for baseball. The wind will be blowing in from left, but won't be much of a factor.

Yes, I am having the same problem. It did this on Saturday night as well, but eventually righted itself. I'm starting to get really ticked off about this crap from Directv. Anyone know why it's doing this?

I do. As much as I love having Directv over cable they are a bunch of freaking morons. When you call about sports packages they have no idea what they are talking about. They are drones that read from a script and are unable to deviate from it.
Did you see that catch that Coco... Nevermind.
I think we didn't get the good Dice-K tonight, but hopefully the bats, especially Manny's will wake up.
I'm tired of waiting for 499 and 500. Matter of fact, I think it's time for me to say that more players on our team ****ing suck, don't you think?

OK, here it goes then:
Manny ****ing sucks. I can't stand his defense, his antics and especially his dreads.
Josh becket ****ing sucks. 2007 was his career year and he's just going downhill from there.
Mike Lowell ****ing sucs. Same as above. Had a contract year, will never be back.
Am I missing anyone?

I haven't said it publicly and that means it doesn't count, but watch that:
Julio ****ing Lugo ****ing sucks. We should just eat his contract and send him to whoever is willing to take him.
I'd rather have the Reds' AA dude at short. (not that I know who that is)

D.M. Anderson of the Chatanooga Lookouts. Including todays game he is batting .196
I love google.
Edit: I'm an idiot. Anderson is the second baseman. Their SS is Chris Valaika and he's hitting .216
great play by DP... woohoo

Invaluable piece of info. Here's to sending Lugo to Mars and bringing in Chris Valaika from the Chatanooga Lookouts.
****, this is a boring and uninspiring season so far. Maybe that's why our game threads are so pathetic.
The Tigers's fans post 987464353 entries on average on their board every day they play... Do we need to be in their position to bring life to this place?

You should read some of their threads, you will see they have both. Some pretty knowledgeable and competent people there.
Heck, you don't even have to go to their site, just read OUR game threads from last season. This place was different back then.
Thanks Lugo, you are helping this game to go faster.. 
i remember i was here, its still early in the season, if got a whole winter to get through
and as for detroit, well i'd spend about 10 posts a day just trying to find out the medical term for whats wrong with polancos head.

G'morning, all. What happened to Dice-K? Where are the bats? Can Batista be this good? Too many questions for early in the morning...

1. He hurt his leg
2. They were waiting for you to get here. Where the hell have you been?
3. No
Good Morning, or should I say G'day mate!
Edit: Thanks Ump!!!!! Bye Lugo!!!!
Edit #2. I never saw a SS get thrown out for arguing balls and strikes before.
I only have Gamecast, so I have to ask: Why is Matsuzaka pulled in the 5th?
Good for Terry. He's not a guy that flips easily, but I think that was warranted.

I'm still amazed by the Lugo ejection. I wish I knew what he said.
I think that if I were a manager, I'd get thrown out all the ****ing time just so that I could head back inside the clubhouse, put in a dip, grab an after-work brewsky, and have a little break. Everyone would think I was "fiery," but the reality of it is that I'm just lazy.
There's 499! Guess the bats were waiting for me to get up. That sleep thing is overrated anyway. Woohoo!
Thanks, Manny! That was exciting.
wtg manny
Damn you Manny! Couldn't you wait one pitch? I was watching the last 2 seconds of the Lakers/Spurs game.
Lakers won by 2 btw.
Edit: I saw the Ortiz single, checked the basketball game real quick, saw the Spurs were inbounding with 2.1 seconds left, watched them miss and saw Manny rounding the bases. ARGH!!!!

Well if you had been watching, it would have been caught on the warning track. So lets all thank BigSlick.I forgot about that game--I was flipping channels and forgot all about TNT.
Obviously, fiery Francona's ejection woke the offense up, right? Whoever is writing the article at the globe just got 200 easy words that they can cut and paste from the last time a manager got ejected. Do you think they have a macro for that or do they just cut and paste?
No player in major league history has hit his 499th HR and his 500th HR in the same game YET.
I'm just sayin...

Stop jinxing Manny. His power is never streaky. Hey, is the Spurs-Lakers game on?

Learn to assign hotkeys, and you can achieve your dream.Really quiet tonight. Figures because everyone back home is most likely in bed. I hate these late night starts.
Yankee misery continues. They use Rivera for 2 innings (9th and 10th) in a tie game, They take the lead with a run in the 11th and Hawkins gives up 2 in the bottom of the inning.

Gotta love it, although I don't necessarily think it's poor game calling by Girardi. I think that's what sabermetrics calls for, isn't it?
Anyway,I love it when I go to the office and try to talk to my MFY-loving coworkers about baseball....
They're not too fond of me lately, no need to say.

The numbers and the common sense just say that if you bring in Hawkins and leave Rivera sitting there, then Hawkins will just lose the game before Rivera gets a chance to "save" it.It may have been the right play for Girardi, but I'm pleased that it blew up in his face.
The Yankees--or at least their idiot fans--think its just as simple as moving Joba to the rotation, and their problems will be solved.
Not that simple---but we'll have to see who bails them out with a bad trade (like always).
Manny tried too hard that ab.

Yup. One of my best friends is an MFY fan. He hasn't initiated many baseball conversations lately. We have a running bet going: the number of games separating the two teams at the end of the year is the number of beers the loser needs to buy for the winner. Looking forward to October...

I didn't mean to imply it was a bad decision by Girardi. I was just rubbing in the fact that they burned him for tomorrow and didn't get a W today.

I'm living for this moment. Not to underestimate Joba, but the kid falls apart very quickly, IIRC around 45 pitches. But to each his own, I guess.It would be one more reason for me to keep wanting to talk ball with my coworkers....

Well they do have the precedent of Clemens joining the rotation, saving their season and leading them to the World Series last year. They are simply assuming Chamberlain can do the same thing.
