ACHE is playing left field tonight. Most of the time I don’t complain about this because there’s generally a bigger issue, like Groundhog. But Fenway Park just isn’t the place for him to be playing the field. May Lowe have the sinker working tonight.

Ache is awful, but he has the most experience in Boston than the other OF’ers.
So at least he should know where to go when he is “gliding” to the ball.

Jeffrey sucks, but if he would have plate appearances like that more often I would be happy.
Joshua
on June 20, 2009 at 6:58 pm
@18 – why? I think he hit that on the meat part of the bat. Just about anyone else does that, and the ball is out of the park.
Joshua
on June 20, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Beckett is getting a really wide strike zone right now. Inside and outside by a few inches.
Tomas
on June 20, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Joshua, because he didn’t swing at stupid pitches like he usually does. As long as he appears to be rooted in right field I’ll take what little I can get.

@23 – I’m guessing that was a joke?
mraver
on June 20, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Of course it was. But it’s just another reason that we need Schafer to start hitting in AAA so he can be promoted and push McLouth over to RF. No loss offensively (perhaps a gain) and way better defense.
Shame for Lowe, but you really shouldn’t give up doubles to Nick Green, or let Jason Varitek hit a ball even that far.
Joshua
on June 20, 2009 at 7:40 pm
@25 – Agree with Varitek, but that ball to Green was a very good pitch – down and in. Sometimes, you’ve just got to tip your cap.

You just can’t put into words to describe the suckness of Frenchy. Until the day we don’t see the names of Frenchy and KJ in the lineup, this team is not going anywhere.

That DP by Francouer needs to be the end of his time in right field and in Atlanta. It’s just the last straw already. Way to kill ANOTHER rally, loser.

when the count went to 3-1, bobby shouldve taken frenchy’s bat away.
i dont get it. wren hardly seems to care about public relations–he didnt mind (effectively) getting rid of TWO atlanta legends. so then, why? WHY is jeffy still here?

bonitis, because nobody wants Frenchy like we don’t want him.
Frank

Francoeur’s bat should have been taken away long before the 3-1 count in his last PA.

If you check out KJ’s line for June, that’s ultimate suckness.
Marc

What it comes to Cox and Francouer it’s like an addict and heroin. As long as Francouer is on the roster, Cox is going to run him out there everyday, all be damned. As long as an addict has a stash in their house, they are going to keep using. Wren needs to call an intervention and destroy the heroin so it can no longer be used.

Maybe they cant believe he is actually that bad.
@19 I was thinking the exact same thing. Frenchy is done.
@31
Well, they are the Royals.. there’s probably a reason they’been about as relevant as the WNBA.
KJ is done too. I am sick of watching him.
DP ball coming from Francoeur.
edit–called that one, though it doesn’t take any special skill to predict the groundhog’s futility
as my 8 yr old likes to say when Francoeur comes to bat–inning over
Has anything ever been more inevitable?
