In other shocking news, DTB strikes again: 2 more mental lapses cost the Sox 2 more runs.

DTB?

[/ QUOTE ]

DTB = dumbest team in baseball. You can borrow it if you want, I don't mind.

For those that didn't get to see it yesterday, on conescutive plays the following happened:

-Schilling didn't cover 1st base on a ground ball hit to Youkilis that would have been an easy double play. What made this so bizarre was that Schill ran most of the way to 1st and then stopped even though it was obvious that Youk was way too far away from the bag to be able to get back in time to take the throw.

-the rookie LF Moss threw the ball into 3B on a single when he had absolutely zero chance to get the runner going from 1st to 3rd. This allowed the batter to get take 2nd on a single.

The next hitter singled to center, 2 runs scored, and the game was tied.

Constantly "providing us cretins with information" is the penalty you have to pay for being the smartest, most baseball-savvy poster in this thread. If you weren't so damn intelligent, you wouldn't have to. If you weren't so knowledgeable about the Red Sox and the game of baseball in general, we wouldn't need you to help us understand this oh-so-complicated game. Really, it's a small price to pay I think.

Wily Mo on the move...?

Pena clears trade waivers
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff

According to a major league source, Wily Mo Pena has cleared trade waivers, meaning any team is free to negotiate a deal with the Red Sox for the outfielder before the end of the month.

The fact that he cleared trade waivers does not mean the Sox can option Pena to the minors. He is still out of options, and would have to clear the standard waiver wire to be eligible for demotion.

i went to two of the m's/sox games this weekend, and i noticed one of the relievers on the sox has a pink hello kitty backpack. is there a story behind this? i am unable to tell you which reliever it was, as the backpack covered up his number.

[/ QUOTE ]

They talked about this a lot last year. Apparently, it's a backpack full of like snacks and stuff. Stuff like granola bars, gatorade, candy bars, etc. It's a backpack made for little girls and they make the rookies carry it around. Pap had to do it quite a bit last year. It's like a hazing type of thing. Between this and the pirate thing, I'm now thinking these are some pretty weird guys in the bullpen. Then again, maybe you have to be a little odd to sit there by yourself for the whole game not doing anything...

that's the one! thanks! the sox relievers are weird.

Yeah, we had discussed this a couple days ago. I say, whatever it takes them to shut a game down if need be.
