if the pole is fair territory, why is it called a foul pole?

Almost hard to recognize those guys right now without the beards

So was that slap intentional? A joke? A miss?
When Koji gets pumped up, you better get pumped up with him or look out!

Starting Gomes over Nava in left tonight...Not sure I like this. Awesome to have Napoli's bat back in the order though.

It's an interesting decision, but even though Wacha is a righty, he is better against batters from the left. I guess Farrell would rather have Gomes as the right handed bat. Not sure I like it either, especially with Gomes defense being very questionable at times.

The defense was my concern as well. Any hit is just an added bonus.

I agree with benching Salty. His defense has sucked. St Louis never runs and they're running against him. His crap throw to Middlebrooks on that interference call cost them a game. His miss of a Gomes throw to home that resulted in Breslow throwing the ball into the stands was also costly. He refuses to shorten up his swing against those 99 mph fastballs and has been an easy out at the plate. Ross is a much better defensive catcher and he has somewhat better shot at catching up with a fastball.
Gomes can't hit a curveball off a RHP. He is iffy defensively. I always question putting him in the lineup but the guy seems to come through often enough in the clutch and Wacha doesn't have much of a breaking ball.
I think the Red Sox will hit better off Wacha the 2nd time around. It all hinges on Lackey. Does he complete the transformation from beer and bucket o' fried chicken goat to Pedro/Schilling hero status? I don't want all the marbles to depend on Jake Peavey in a game 7.

Chevy only brought one truck to the ceremony.
I noticed that and the thought crossed my mind as to how you'd split that....
