Game 114 Open Thread - Red Sox (64-49) at Royals (53-60)

PrintBoston Red Sox at Kansas City Royals, Aug 5, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Tonight's Red Sox starter Josh Beckett is supposedly going through a rough stretch -- three straight pitcher losses -- but compared to say Brian Bannister, he hasn't bee that bad. In those three starts Beckett has posted a 5.31 ERA, but that's almost entirely based upon the .337 batting average he's allowed. He's only allowed two homers during 20.1 IP, and he's struck out twenty hitters while walking only two.
Maybe he just needs to change hemp necklaces or add some new amulets or something...
As for Banny's last three starts, he's posted a 6.08 ERA and allowed a .359 batting average. In a continuing weird trend, Banny has been striking out nearly a man per inning (12 Ks in 13.1 IP) but without much improvement in preventing baserunners.

Cortes, Wood, Pimentel
All pitchers

Hitting-wise, there aren't a lot of "name" prospects.
Marc Maddox (2B), Mario Lisson (SS), Brian McFall (RF) and Jose Duarte (CF) are all fringe-type prospects who could prove to be halfway-decent bench players.
If you are to check out hitters, check those guys out.
They had one, but then he went to Omaha

Hey guys
Rany wrote again today. Just noticed that. Shit, now I have to try and watch the game, stay caught up here, and read thru what Rany wrote.
Go Bam Bam!
From Rany:
Esteban (Guridi) German can play five or six different positions – and can’t field a lick at any of them. The way he plays the outfield reminds me of Kevin Nealon’s character on Saturday Night Live: Mr. No-Depth Perception.
RoyalsReview reference from Rany
If you want to know why, look at last night’s game. As Will McDonald wrote last night at RoyalsReview.com, "A pitcher without Soria’s core competence gives up four runs there."
A gem
After all that, Bay hits a routine grounder to the left side, only to have Gordon and Tony Francisco Pena Jr. collide trying to both field it. The only way this situation could be funnier is if Pena, German, and Gload had all moved to their current positions for defensive purposes in the top of the 8th.
Drive-thru fast-food report
I have now sampled the latest two Taco Hell offerings. The Steak Fajita Melt is actually decent. The Jalapeno Chicken Melt isn’t horrible, but the jalapenos are too tangy (read: too pickled).
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled game thread.

Has anyone got an aviles jersey yet?
how can i get one…its either him or soria im from ny so i’d have to go online
I thought abut ordering one, but I read Aviles is changing his number to 13 next season
So, I’m debating whether to wait and get a #13 one, or prove my hardcore fanness by buying one with his current number (showing I jumped on the bandwagon early.)

You're making a mistake
Getting a #30 proves you were there from the START, not some damned bandwagon-jumper like Ryan Lefebvre.
