Game 108, Red Sox at Mariners

This should be a good time. Matsuzaka v Washburn? Possibly the best team in baseball against a hot M’s team struggling to put themselves into contention — sign me up.
Daisuke v Jarrod!
Daisuke: 144 IP, 133 H, 15 HR, 50 BB, 142 K
Jarrod: 129.1 IP, 137 H, 10 HR, 42 BB, 69 K
And one of them pitches in Fenway, the other in Safeco.

Guillen looks like Sexson with that last swing. Wasn’t even close.
There ya go Guillen, just dont swing.
If Guillen somehow manages to walk you’d have to PH Jones for Ibanez, right?
atta boy!!!!
That’s the best we could have hoped for.
Nope, Jones PR for Gullien
ADAM JONES?!?!?!
AFTER THE AT BAT?!?!?
Glad to see AJ, but he should be hitting, not running.
Raul……..I wish I had hope for this encounter.
@353
Nope, he will run for Guillen.
No, you use him in Guillens place if your Mac.
Apparently you let AJ run. Why take the bat out of the hands of a veteran leader? /snark
Well, Jones is in the game, just not where he needs to be
Well, AJ is in… now let’s go Raul!!!!
OMG Ibanez
OK Raul, prove that you still deserve a starting job.
Way to go AJ…but you should be batting right now.
Why the FUCK is AJ running for Guillen instead of PHing for hopeless Ibanez?
Man. He fast.
Wow, that was anticlimactic.
Because there’s no way a manager is going to use a rookie as a PH in this spot against one of the best closers in the league.
Damn. Nice fight though..
And… defeat clinched from the jaws of victory.
Aw man… at least we made them work for the win and we didn’t go down easy. Better luck tomorrow.
“DEREK KINZLER!!!!!”
ARE YOU SURE????
Beltre should have really tried to work the count in his favor instead of swinging on the first pitch The guy just walked 2 batters in a row.
Seriously? First pitch swinging? Ugh.

Lots of reasons, 1) wouldn’t be fair to put Jones up against Paplebon a day after he was called up, 2) righty-lefty matchup, 3) why rub Jones in face of the veterans, he’s going to be taking enough of their AB’s as it is.
Who the hell cares what the veterans think? If they can’t perform they shouldn’t be playing, period.
322 I just read your comment. Thanks for the laugh.
Guillen in this series so far, 0 for 8, 6 K’s, 0 RBI’s, 2 GIDP, 1 error. I guess Adam Jones did disrupt the team chemistry afterall!
That was a much MUCH better game than I feared it would be. The top of the order murdered us today. Nobody could predict an 0-4 day by Ichiro, but is there any damn reason why Beltre and Broussard are betting 5,6 and Ibanez and Guillen are hitting 3,4? Switch those two pairs around just based on their performance…we win the game.
Or Ichiro could have gotten just one hit!!
We best not have to wait until Burres to see Felix pitch again.
Jones is going to start tomorrow in CF. Ichiro will DH. Ibanez will unfortunately be playing left field where undoubtedly Boston will pummel him as they did tonight and as every team has done every night for the entire season.
McLaren, you’ve been here a month, you have earned the credibility with the players, so fix it. Jones to left, Ibanez/Vidro platooned at DH. DO IT!
I don’t get the notion of platooning Ibanez and Vidro at DH. Their OPS is almost identical vs. RHP. Vidro has no platoon split, so either fire him or let him play every day.
Why not platoon Ibanez and Guillen in RF? Both of these players show very significant platoon splits and Ibanez’ defense wouldn’t present a massive downgrade from Guillen’s in RF.
Or shove both of ’em out the door and call up Balantien!
