PrintBoston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Aug 18, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
7:05 / MASN :: 89° :: Wind out to LF - 9 MPH :: Rain - 0%
Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L Jon Lester - LH 25 160.2 3.25 1.30 .262 11 50 109 11-4 Jeremy Guthrie - RH 25 170.0 3.18 1.15 .235 18 45 108 10-8
Usually I'd say something about the fact that we've got a hell of a nice pitching matchup on our hands today, with young Jon Lester taking on our ace Jeremy Guthrie, two guys having similar years. But instead I just want to say that it's time to play the role of spoiler.
And I want to send a shout-out to Awesome Mike Awesome, who says Lester is better than Guthrie. I will throw all rationale to the side and just say this: To be the man, by God, you have to beat! the! man!
WOOOOOOO!

the sawx are only half a game up in the wild card race...
imagine a post season sans the new york AND boston yankee teams! a man can dream…
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
Cool dream, Dave-- and you're right, NY and Boston BOTH have Yankee teams, i.e. jerkitudinal.
I’ll letcha be in my dream if I can be in yours! I said that.

Lord, I hope the O's can play spoiler
Now that Olympic swimming is over, I’ll likely tune into a bit of this game.
I had to give pointers to a bunch of massholes up here who were making the trip to Baltimore. Before you ask, I didn’t steer them to Edmondson Village or the likes. I hope they get to see a bunch of losses. I can dream.
You are a credit to your town

Adam Jones NOT out for season?
Schmuck and Roch are both reporting that Jones was playing catch today without a cast or walking boot. Schmuck thinks that Jones is on pace to return for the final two or three weeks of the season.
That would make the annual limp-to-the-finish a lot more watchable.
word! Some house calls from the Dr. would liven things up all right! But they'd better be SURE he's OK.

please refer yourself to when i said that ten days ago
and everyone shouted me down without even giving the matter any thought
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Actually
I only disputed the notion that Guthrie was “clearly” better than Lester, which was wrong then and wronger now. They could hardly be more equal. Except Lester is much younger and Guthrie has been way way luckier on balls in play.

My only hope at this point in the season REALLY is that we F with Boston and help Tampa Bay. Not that I’m psyched to see postseason baseball at the Trop, but if we can get in Boston’s way that’d be tits.

I've been to two games vs. Boston this year
I thought about going tomorrow, but I don’t know if I can do it. It fills me with rage being around them unless the O’s are winning.
If I don’t make it, I hope you win the $50K! Get there early.

Absurdly enough, I find Yankee fans much more tolerable. Plus I bet there won’t be hardly any of them there.

We saw more Tigers fans than Orioles fans during our touristy stuff also. We even saw two Diamondbacks fans
well, i'll tell you this...
even if sox are not in b’more, i see more sox gear strolling around dc than any other team gear by a wide margin. that’s probably 50% tourist and 50% govvies (maybe from mass, maybe just bandwagoneers not from mass).
it’s revolting. the interlocking dc nats hats are a comfortable second.

No such thing as a blown hold
If you are in a “hold situation” and blow it, its really a blown save.
In this case it would be nothing, becuase it’s not a “hold situation” (which is really a save situation).

3 games under .500 at this point of the season for THIS team
is great.
It is not super-duper though.
I reserve great for at the very least winning more than losing.

I blame Ramon for this inning. Horrible 0-2 pitch selection against Pedroia.
Everybody knows the fucking guy swings at everything – you get him 0-2 you have to throw an absolutely unhittable pitch. Either a head high fastball or a curve ball that bounces. Dumbass ramon calls curve ball and sets up outer half knee high. Asshole.
