It's disrespecting the logo. If they need to have pine tar, put it on the side of the helmet - oh yeah and it looks like complete shit. You're millionaires, look good.
Pine tar for a hitter and pine tar for a pitcher are completely different. It's not the pine tar on his helmet that's the big deal, it's the pine tar on the bat. Much bigger deal if the pitcher has some.
Nice piece of hitting by Manny, and right off of Izturis's glove. That's what they're going to miss not having Figgins at third. The A's play good defense generally, but Matthews' absence is gonna hurt them bad.
Drew has all this natural talent but wouldn't know a good pitch to hit if it came up and bit him in the ass. He swings at ugly crap and watches beautiful fastballs right down the middle just itching to be smacked onto Landsdowne street.
heh.... I didn't know that. Last season they were attached at the hip in the dugout... but Schilling was always yapping the whole time. I bet anyone gets annoyed at that after a while.
Beckett (and his no-no) railed Schilling when Bucholz threw his no-no... They may be chums when people are looking but there's egos butting heads: young-old, past-future, etc.
Yeah. Hell of a pitcher, but a pretty ridiculous human being. I enjoy the blog, but that's because it's novel to hear it from someone "on the inside" as it were, and I really like reading about his thought process while pitching.
Well, I was going to make a comment about how poorly Tek has been hitting and how his numbers compare to Drew's, but there he goes and gets a nice single and ruins my point.
OK, clarify this for me because I don't know. This Dane Cook guy is a comedian???
Don Rickles would kick this guy in the nuts for besmirching baseball.
Yeah. He's apparently pretty funny, but I've never actually heard any of his standup, even though I'm in that "college crowd" that he's so "popular" with.
The Red Sox actually stole quite a bit more this season than they have lately. You might say, but Salty, isn't the stolen base "against our team philosophy(TM)?" I say yes, but they were successful around 80% of the time, which is the magic number for stolen bases to contribute positively to expected run scoring.
See, Lackey starts off Lugo with two breaking balls, has to come back with a fastball and even a stiff like him knows what to do with it. Pitchers are so dumb sometimes.
Right, Manny?
HEY! Wtf, TBS? No more missing outs for commercials. That's completely unacceptable. Has anyone else noticed that networks are cutting it closer and closer in coming back to the center field camera?
He threw five pitches to Willits in the same spot. Varitek didn't even move the glove. That's insane.
He's got no-hit stuff for sure today. If Figgins hit was six inches to the left Pedroia throws him out. Then you'd never know.
