"Red Sox fans had to love him for honoring Ruth.  I didn't remember that part of it."

Ruth is kind of like the big fish who got away. It's not really his fault. The ire is directed at the owner who sold him. He had some good years with the Red Sox, and he lived on a farm in what is now one of the suburbs about 20 miles west of Boston during the off-season even when he played with the Yankees, so he's regarded well.

Eh Motte? Two nights in a row?

If they manage to win tonight, they have no chance of winning tomorrow, so no need to save Motte.

That's a good point,

Ahh closing it out Valverde-style. Always a crowd pleaser.

LOL. No.

It was...interesting.

Ricky recommends ice to prevent swelling.  That's insightful stuff.

If Yadi has a broken bone in his hand because Boggs can't tell the difference between one finger and two fingers, I'm going to be very upset.

Berkman's due to return soon.  Can Allen Craig catch?

Anything involving Ron Jeremy is bound to be.

BTW- kudos to Westbrook for another good start.  I realize it's a different manager, but Westbrook has pitched into the 7th inning in all 6 of his starts.  He did it only 7 times all of last season.

Cement-head signed with the Padres, which would make him teammates with Jeff Suppan.

Randy Keisler, Randy Flores, Tyler Johnson, Braden Looper, Brian Falkenborg, Kelvin Jimenez, Brad Thompson, Josh Kinney, Kelly Stinnett and Preston Wilson are all waiting for their phone calls.

Oh the memories.

If he keeps it up, we might even be able to lobby Windy to drop "Freckin'" as his middle name.

They've given up on the game. They found a young couple in the stands holding a sign that reads "First Date" and it's morphed into a discussion and now a text poll question about whether there will be a second date. I'm not making this shit up.

It's 70 percent yes right now.

They're now being interviewed. Anna has consented to a second date with Brandon. Gracie is getting them tickets to Saturday's game. Again, not making this shit up. My imagination isn't that fertile.

I doubt it was that hard to find them seats.  Grace will probably bang her before then anyway.

Who was the guy in the mid-2000s they picked up from San Diego to start one game, and then they DFA'd him the next day?

Matheny just said that initial x-rays on Molina's hand looked clean, but the ball hit a spot where a bone had previously been broken, so they're checking further.

Suppan went 5 innings and allowed one run.  Currently in line for the win.
