Wtf
 

Pedro, in relief?.... I don't like the way this is starting out...
:confused:

Bad move if you ask me:smash:

For gods sake, get him outta the game !!!!!

Get him out please

It's the Ghost...:mad:

This just shows you how bad a manager Francona is!!!!

I mean at least let Lowe show you that he is in trouble!!


:af: :af: :af: :af: :af: :

was his pitch count high or something?

I can think of 4-5 other pitchers that should be in there


PLEASE get an out here

nothing like letting the crowd get back into it

this is no time for showmanship

just win the damn game

Those stomach cramps are back again. Finally out of the inning. The yanks deserve to loose.

Oh please say Petey sits the rest out

This is VERY bad.

What kind of a friggin' idiot would pull Lowe who is absolutely unhittable and put in Pedro of all people?! What about Wake?

This is insane.

Slip---he threw 69 pitches in 6 freakin' innings, fer crissakes :wall:

If I wrote the script for this, they'd a effin' laughed me out of the studio "Yeah, right, Francona's REALLY gonna lift a cruising Lowe after 6 and bring Pedro in. Gimme a pahrkin' break, kid"

Look at the bright side---if the Sox hang on, Pedro won't be able to go in game 1 of the Series. :doh: :hs:

Wakefield deserves a start in game one :)

Thank God Bellhorn shut those fans up again:happy:

guy has 3 homeruns against the Yankees in his career and 2 are from the last 2 games :cool: :eek:

Tighten UP....your sphincters that is!
 

Someone shoot Franconia....PLease.....LOL

But it looks better now!....Shhhessssssh

GOOOOOO BO SOX!

hooks up,

The saving grace for the Sox is that Gordon sucks more than Pedro.

what is with his 5:00 shadow on his lip? I thought no facial hair.



10-3 now:happy:

They can have mustaches but not past the corner of their mouth. No Fu's or goatees. Mattingly had a 'stache.

What would happen if someone grew a goatee? get benched or just fined ? Stupid team rule :rolleyes:

I agree that it was a bad move, but bad manager??? You gotta be effing me.

OK already!


Dont get huffy with me! LOL!!

Ya gotta admit there are times when he seems like he has no clue..............................

But he had a clue tonight when he started D-LOWE!!!

Bring on the National League!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russ,I ain't gettin huffy,:D I completely agree that he does some very weird things, I was howling when he put Pedro in. But call it luck,ability, deeper roster, whatever you like, Francona outmanaged a Hall of Fame Manager in this last series.

Bring on Larussa and his tinted glasses!!

I am not trying to be negative but that was the dumbest move ever bringing in Pedro with a 7 run lead. Not to mention that Lowe was cruising and could have picthed another couple innings. Now Pedro might not be able to pitch Game 1.

Wakefield is pitching game one

CSK did they already announce the pitching lineup or just Game 1?

wakefield 1 curt 2 pedro 3 lowe 4(based on this start) then wake 5? curt 6(if the ankle holds) and petey once again in a possible 7 barring another 3-0 defecit of course :P

I think just game 1

Game 3 could be Pedro vs Clemens.

In any event, Game 3 is in an NL park so Pedro has to bat ;)

LaRussa is the most overrated manager of the last 30 years. Managed to lose the Series to two teams with way inferior talent in the late 80s when he was managing that Oakland powerhouse.
