So annoying, especially in light of Kremer splits w & w/o runners on. Could've at least driven up pitch count, instead of providing Os a bit of unanticipated relief, that hopefully doesn't turn into a pivot point, here now at bottom of inning. Be nice to see em shutdown, here, by Sale, and steal some momentum back. nevermind

I've always been amazed at how names can be so coincidentally appropriate. The MFYs once had a SS prospect named Mickey Klutz and, yes, he was awful. The Eagles had a WR with a perfect WR name: Mike Quick. In the political world, one of the NJ staffers who got caught up in the GW Bridge closing scandal was named Bridgette. The Secret Service agent who protected President Clinton and was asked to testify in the sex scandal was named Larry Cockell. The National Enquirer publisher who testified in the Trump-Storm Daniels scandal is named Jeff Pecker. You can't make this stuff up and it keeps a juvenile mind like mine amused. Now, let's get Yu Chang another AB and win this game! Can't believe nobody brought up 2008 when Bartolo Colon of the Boston Red Sox faced Chien-Ming Wang of the New York Yankees. Everyone in the Northeast was 12-years old that summer. This line got me laughing, as I recently had to undergo 3(!) foley catheter insertions & removals inside of a 3 week period, and, end of that last removal, upon returning home, flipped on TV, and, old show "NewsRadio" was just rolling through intro cast credits, and, 1st three I see were for Dave Foley, Steven Root, and, Andy Dick
...on another sophomoric "name" note...is Randy Johnson the only athlete w/ both given name and nickname (Big Unit) that could bth be mistaken for porn star names?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fractureA distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist.[1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling.[1] The ulna bone may also be broken.[1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision.[2] In older people, the most common cause is falling on an outstretched hand.[2] Specific types include Colles, Smith, Barton, and Chauffeur's fractures.[2] The diagnosis is generally suspected based on symptoms and confirmed with X-rays.[1] Treatment is with casting for six weeks or surgery.[1] Surgery is generally indicated if the joint surface is broken and does not line up, the radius is overly short, or the joint surface of the radius is tilted more than 10% backwards.[3] Among those who are cast, repeated X-rays are recommended within three weeks to verify that a good position is maintained.[3]

"Terrin Vavra" seems like it could have been Cormac McCarthy's runner-up option before he settled on "Anton Chigurrh." ... "Pussy Galore" immediately popped into my head, 1st read

"Ward is one of eight remaining relievers in big league camp competing for four open slots in the bullpen, with Kyle Finnegan, Carl Edwards Jr., Hunter Harvey and Erasmo Ramirez all assured of heading north with the club. Ward joins left-hander Anthony Banda and righties Alex Colome, Mason Thompson, Paolo Espino, Wily Peralta, Andres Machado and Hobie Harris in a down-to-the-wire competition for the final spots.
“I think if we do keep him, it’s because he earned it and that we like him,” Martinez said. “As of right now, he’s done really well. Right now, we’re considering him being part of our bullpen, the long guy.”"

Nice type of cap, on NESN, by both Lou Merloni & Mike Monaco, initially, specifically to Ian, regarding his scouting report on L Guerrero, then, to Soxprospects.com directly, for their efforts tracking the Red Sox minor league system, here in the 8th inning, as they provided some background on Guerrero, his coming on for Webb.

not a surprise...during a 15-20 minute or so spot on WEEI, just ended, when asked about player not currently on most fans radar to keep and eye on during ST..."not wanting to put pressure on any one player" he identified Mata/Murphy/Walter (paraphrasing) as pitchers that may not break camp w big club, but, may develop to a point where they might help during the season
