		<description>Oh, btw - I *continue* to believe in Nunie despite the hate around here and all logic that says otherwise! I like the guy and I always have! Check the record, I&#039;m a Nunie supporter!

I just love his bat speed and like the look of his swing. I know there&#039;s a lot of counter-evidence to those visual observations, but I like the kid. 

Looked like he came through big today. I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll make a horrific error down the road, and get rightfully pilloried, but today - YAY NUNEY!!!!!</description>

		<description>That literally felt like a weight being lifted off my chest. Just one game, and mercurial Freddy goes tomorrow, so, yikes(?), but that feels like a big win that the team needed. Or that I needed, lol.

I spent the entire 7th muttering assorted incantations at the mlb scoreboard on espn, and that was a lot of awesome up until Robbie&#039;s 3-2 count. 

Seems like a big time job out of some of our guys, although, of course, I couldn&#039;t actually watch thanks to Angelos. You know, if I actually lived in crummy Baltimore, the blackout wouldn&#039;t upset me nearly as much (or at all). 

Sori seemed dominant from watching the scoreboard?

It just felt like I hadn&#039;t seen much of anything I *really* liked from the team since they drove Floyd out of the game in the first game of the Chicago series. Everything has felt badly off since that moment. 

So nice to have a comeback win. 

One question, which I swear I have had since long before that Chicago series - was it a justified decision to get rid of Wise? I always really liked the guy and his speed, will at the plate, and plus defense at all outfield spots? And even if there was a reason - and forget what happened with Curtis today - is there anyway to look at the Wise move as anything other than a brutal mistake? 

Would like to hear some opinions/answers on this. 

Mood is brighter this afternoon. Until tonight, which will be/could be very ugly for me.</description>

		<description>[98] HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!!! Sox pitchers give up 19 earned runs!!!!!!!
And SIX HRs to the A&#039;s.
That&#039;s got to be historic.
The Sox aren&#039;t even pretending to play.</description>

		<description>[93] Right, that&#039;s my m.o., but Sox games are now irrelevant.

You didn&#039;t watch any of the one last night, did you? Holy shit, that was a beat-down. My god. Three ex-Sox prospects combined for 13 rbi against Aaron Cook. It was a nightmare.</description>

		<description>Pepi was cool! Career OPS of .733, 105 OPS+.
By &#039;65, Howard and Boyer were done, but still great fielders.
(Old YS just killed Elston, who hit more than 2/3rds of his HRs on the road).
Murcer.... love the man.
Horace Clarke? .621 OPS, 83 OPS+. But somwhat bow-legged, so if you squinted a lot, you could pretend he was Honus.</description>
