This series not this “serious”. sigh. Where did that come from?

Ring Lardner used “serious” for series in most of his stories. I figured you were just channeling him….

I went to the game today. I have tickets tomorrow. I almost don’t want to go.

What is the protocol on wearing a paper bag over your head at a road game?

Gah, Wlison’s kid’s baseball team back in NH sounds about as bad as the M’s…he just mentioned that they were behind 22-3 in third inning.

at least they have the mercy rule.

sigh. it was a tied game when last I heard.

132 & 145: Maybe Jeremy’s actually trying to get DFA’s by this organization — so he can wind up with Oakland as an “undervalued” guy and bat .280 down there.

It’s quite obvious by Beltre laughing at the plate that his leadership skills are lacking. Therefore, I think it’s Silva’s job to throw him under the bus for his horrible start.

Gee, that was the most entertaining moment of the game.

As a Red Sox fan, this serious was one of those enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend deals. I’m very disappointed. Bedard was very tough on the yankees last year. Silva? Ehh. I guess I might have predicted his getting rocked. But, Bedard?!?

And, #132, I honestly believe that the teams that show a lot of discipline at the plate actually sort of shame the hacking teams into greater patience. I’ve got no numbers to prove it but my fan’s sense of things is that after one of the high walk total or pitches per plate appearance guys battles one of their pitchers for 11 pitches, they feel slightly guilty about hacking away immediately. I don’t mean to suggest that I think this is what happened in Reed’s at bat but I think it goes on, in general, when one of the OBP teams faces one of the hacking teams.
