We are frankly sick of night games. We think this is the third straight weekend that the Sox played Friday, Saturday, and then Sunday night, though we may be mistaken. What happened to weekend spring baseball? It’s a joke, frankly, these weekend night games.
Hopefully Tim Wakefield takes it seriously, though. Chat here.

Youk is a whiff machine.
Timmeh has ’em fooled so far…which is only two innings admittedly.
So is this going to be one of those Sox games where they make a bad pitcher look like an all star because they haven’t faced him before
Pathetic showing by the offense.
Gonzo already with this second hit.
Is he the only guy on this team who can hit shatty pitching?
Ok, here we go…
Salty!
Salteh…mmm mmm good.
Actully, a pretty decent outing for Russell.
Salty is up to a .902 OPS for May.
The threat turns into a quick inning. Ellsbury caught stealing and Pedroia grounds softly. Ellsbury got a really bad jump.
Really nice job by the Cubs catcher Castillo there for that CS on Ellsbury. Ells had a good jump.
I thought Ells had a good jump, SF. Perhaps he picked a bad pitch to go on?
Ha, IBM, I thought he left really late. Eye of the beholder. Either way it was a nice throw.
Gonzo! Long double.
Also I meant “quick two outs” prior.
Wonder the GM cost Gonzo a dinger there.
Wonder IF that is.
3-0 after five, not enough even with Wake spinning a gem. It could all go away in a flash as we know with Timmy.
Agreed, SF. Eye of the beholder.
Wow, Wake, awesome so far,
Wakefield kicking ass, but still 3 innings left.
I was thinking that Wake doesn’t spin gems, He not-spins gems.
Gotta be a 2B error there, but the scorer gives Tiz a double.
Lowrie can’t advance Papi unfortunately.
Joplin, Mo, (SW part of state) is the latest to be devastated by a tornado.
And Cameron strikes out. He is a terrible, terrible hitter.
I’m hearing 2 dozen+ deaths. Twister hit heavily populated part of town. Jesus.
Sox 1-7 w/ RISP.
ENOUGH Tito. Wake getting shelled this inning.
DO NOT BLOW THIS, boys.
Tremendous (and well-deserved) ovation for Tim. The man the Sox fans love to love.
Youk with the 2 out 2 RBI triple to the 420 mark.
That was a mighty clout by Youks.
Good Bard.
OK, here comes a rant.
Wood throws at Lowrie twice, getting him the second time.
Clear intent.
If that was retaliation for Aceves HBP on Byrd, that’s assinine. There is no way Ace did that on purpose. Neither of his HBPs were on purpose.
So for Quade to be bitching about that, that’s fucking crap. What the fuck is he trying to prove?
I understand retaliation if the HBP was intentional, but if you look at both situations, there’s no way Aceves’ HBPs were intentional.
Paps in a non-save situation.
Very cool, very cool. The Youk triple was awesome, continuing to win series is even better.
OK, it’s off to Cleveland to play some real competition.
I didn’t realize you guys had Cleveland coming up. I haven’t seen a single game (and barely even a highlight) of that team so I am very curious to hear what sfs think of them after this series. Their record speaks for itself and I’m curious to see if sfs feel it’s legit and likely to ocntinue after watching them for 3 games.
As for the Yanks, it’s onto face Toronto, which I have to say makes me nervous this year. Good young pitching, pretty good offense, with the best power hitter in the game right now. Between the Yanks and Jays I predict at least 4 HRs per game.
