The SHOWCASE is on for Blake Swihart  ??? iono iono

[elktonnick]

Given the current players available this is Boston's optimal lineup.   One can only hope that Blake Swihart has a good night at the plate.

Elk, he can't come around if he plays only one game and then is jerked out of the lineup.  You can't come around that way looking over your shoulder at Cora who is drooling to get his pet canary Bradley back in the lineup.  Give Blake a week or two to show what he can do.  Why not?  We've given Bradley two and a half months, more actually, and he has been nothing but a pile of cat litter.

And I agree Elk this is the lineup we should use for the next two weeks come what may.  It can't be any worse than the ones we have been using.  Just find a way to get Bradley out of a Red Sox uniform, any way.

[longgame]

Wow, I'm glad Cora decided JBJ needed a "rest".  They really need to make a move here.

[BoSoxFanNY]

I HATE playing the same team within a week

Wright pitched well against them -
TONIGHT they have his number
Top of the 1st
Mariners 3 - Sox 0

Single, out, single, home run.
DAMN!

[BoSoxFanNY]

Make that 4 - 0.

Mariners are so glad to be out of Yankee Stadium . . .

DAMN!!!!!

[longgame]

What a start so far!  Let’s hope they can keep the offense rolling.

[longgame]

Up 1 in the bottom of the first, not too strange.  Except that it’s 5-4!

[Bill-806]

LOOKS like a BARN BURNER,  see you all in the morning !!! iono iono

[markj]

Wright's knuckleball is pretty fat tonight. No one is missing it.

[markj]

Slugfest in progress.

[longgame]

Back up 12-10! What a fun game to watch!

[Schloicka]

Yanks lose 2-1 to TB.

[markj]

14-10. Raffy just screwed up and got nailed at 3rd.
