LoDuca DH?!?

btw, it's an ESPN game for all you out-of-towners



P.S. Either you have your SS & 2B reversed or we're going to check with Willie's shrink.

[Willets Point]

Reyes 2B?!?!?

[metirish]

Umm I'm just going with what Boston.com has, but yeah Reyes can't be playing 2nd, Castro is probably playing because Willie wants to shut down Boston's non-existent running game...

[Elster88]

Only thing I can think of is Reyes' arm hurts too much so he can only make shorter throws. But if that was true then he shouldn't be in the lineup at all.

More likely an error by that website.


I'd MUCH rather see Chavez and Nady then Chavez and Milledge.

[metirish]

Nady bruised his wrist last night so I assume that's why he's out.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Nady is day to day. Expect a big game at the plate from the rook.

[Gwreck]

I'm not sure why -- if we're not going to use the DH to "rest" Delgado, Reyes, Beltran or Wright -- Julio Franco isn't getting the ABs.

[Gwreck]

MLB.com gameday shows Reyes SS and Valentin 2B as expected.

[The Big O]

ESPN's graphic: "Josh Becket"

[Gwreck]

Rare appearance by Mr. Met at a road game.

[TransMonk]

Good for Pedro, good for Boston.

Nice ovation.

Beckett throws hard.

[Guest KC]

Mr. Met is at Fenway on top of the Mets' dugout applauding Pedro's
entrance?!? I've seen everything.

[Gwreck]

Failure to turn the DP by Pedro is ominously bad...

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Crap - 2-0 Red Sox, still only one out.

[Gwreck]

Make that 4-0 on another bad error by Milledge.

[TransMonk]

Trade Milledge NOW!!!

Zito looks better everyday.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I'd love to have Zito, but I'm not looking to trade Milledge.

That said, Milledge just wrote his ticket back to Norfolk, with instructions that he needs to work on his friggin' fielding!

[Guest Hillbilly]

If theyb trade LM to boston, they'll need to move him to right.

[Frayed Knot]

Holy Nightmare 1st innings Batman!

Lastings looks like he wants to crawl in a hole right now.
Of course had Pedro not brain-locked earlier (and given up 3 hits) it wouldn't have gotten to that point.

Time to get on yer hittin' shoes boys.

[TransMonk]

Beckett is dealing.

Milledge now has more K's than hits for the year.

[Guest KC]

Leftfield at Fenway has made much more seasoned visiting outfielders look
just as silly as Milledge, Mrs. Fields ... let's not pile on just to get a Zito post in.

Everyone has an agenda.

[Gwreck]

Oh jeez, this is getting ugly now. Darren Oliver threw 60 pitches on Saturday, that's 3 days rest...hopefully he can go a few if necessary.

[TransMonk]

The post was in jest...mostly.

I don't care about Zito. But Milledge has done very little to impress me.

[Guest KC]

I was mocking Scarlet, TM, not realizing I was piggy backing you on the mock lol.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

8 to nothing, Red Sox.

This game is rather anticlimactic, isn't it?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Delgado homer makes it 8-1.

This isn't a quality start for Pedro, is it?

[The Big O]

Oliver on; cue approximately 1 hojillion scoreless innings

[TransMonk]

How many zeros is that?

[TransMonk]

What? No video montage for ex-Red Sock Darren Oliver?
