    Moss was released this morning and back at his apartment where he will stay for 10 days before heading to Ft. Myers to get back into baseball shape.

    He should be out about 3-5 weeks.

  2. 2008 May 4 at 2:24 pm

    Ian is always right :D

  3. 2008 May 4 at 2:25 pm

    Should we play the ‘how do the Sox fill in the outfield’ game? I’ve heard rumors about picking up recently DFA’d Wilkerson, but Chris Carter isn’t a bad option, either…

    Abby, would you like some of our 70 and partly cloudy?

  5. 2008 May 4 at 2:26 pm

    My guess is this that Thurston gets called back up after the game and will come off the DL when Cora comes off on Saturday

  6. 2008 May 4 at 2:26 pm

    Wait, i may sound stupid, but indefinately means unclear, correct? so are they saying that they arent sure if he will ever come back? or they’re not sure when he will be coming back?

  7. 2008 May 4 at 2:26 pm

    Ooops. Will get sent down when Cora comes off the DL.

    Looks like sun and warmth are headed up here tomorrow. Thanks)

    Yes, please. It’s better than rain, although we really did need it (and it washed my car for free).

  11. 2008 May 4 at 2:27 pm

    I’ll repeat this one more time:

    Moss was released this morning and back at his apartment where he will stay for 10 days before heading to Ft. Myers to get back into baseball shape.

    He should be out about 3-5 weeks.

  12. 2008 May 4 at 2:28 pm

    wait, nvm to my last comment– i read what ecl wrote.

  13. 2008 May 4 at 2:28 pm

    (is watching the PawSox game) Thurston’s in the lineup, Carter isn’t. Hmmm. But I’m also getting my first good look at Sean Danielson today, and that’s exciting!

    Lindsay, I think it means they don’t know WHEN he’s coming back, and they want to give him as much time as he needs. I don’t think an appendectomy is a career-ending injury.

  15. 2008 May 4 at 2:29 pm

    Yeah Ian, thats what i thought- but then when star wrote this:

    Hope it’s just a poor word choice. He was making great contributions in the Bigs.

    it got me confused.

  16. 2008 May 4 at 2:29 pm

    It’s definitely not a career-ending injury! My career as a student is still going strong after mine! (/bad pun)

  17. 2008 May 4 at 2:30 pm

    Blond???

  18. 2008 May 4 at 2:30 pm

    Yeah, thats what i thought, but i guess i just misunderstood stars comment-

    “Hope it’s just a poor word choice. He was making great contributions in the Bigs. “

    Nothing like Mother Nature’s carwash! And the entire state of NC will gladly trade with you guys. We’ve been in an “extreme drought” for many months. Of course, we could do without daytime temps in the 40s at this time of year.

  20. 2008 May 4 at 2:31 pm

    Lugo better make up for screwing up the pitching here/…

  21. 2008 May 4 at 2:31 pm

    Rajon Rondo just get tackled in mid-air trying a layup by Marvin Williams who just got tossed for doing it.

  22. 2008 May 4 at 2:31 pm

    Aww, Lugo talks to himself when hes up at bat.

  23. 2008 May 4 at 2:33 pm

    To clarify: I thought indefinitely was a poor word to use, as Ian has noted, they’re saying 3-5 weeks is the expected time Moss is away from the game.

    I don’t like basketball but that sounds hilarious. I’m going to go make my brother rewind and watch it.

  25. 2008 May 4 at 2:33 pm

    That sounds about right, actually – it took me about two weeks to go back to school and about three or four before I could really be active again.

  26. 2008 May 4 at 2:33 pm

    Damn, Lugo is dangerous.

  27. 2008 May 4 at 2:34 pm

    That would have been great if it nailed her straight in the ass. Plus it would be the only thing Lugo has hit all day. /zinger

    Does he really? I hadn’t noticed — just the batting glove fidgeting and the glaring. The game is on TV tomorrow night for me, so I’ll make sure to check out the muttering. LOL…

  29. 2008 May 4 at 2:34 pm

    Lugo’s been having some really good at-bats lately.

    Aw, man, those fouls into the on-deck circle. Bad news. I saw the one that wrecked Encarnacion’s eye (Cardinals) last season. It was painful just to watch.

  31. 2008 May 4 at 2:36 pm

    He’s capable of being a patient hitter — I wish he’d do that more often.

  32. 2008 May 4 at 2:36 pm

    Aww, Lugo. But way to pull up the pitch count!

  33. 2008 May 4 at 2:36 pm

    At least he swang at a strike…

  34. 2008 May 4 at 2:37 pm

    Only good thing about that at-bat from Lugo was he made Kazmir throw 10 pitches.

  35. 2008 May 4 at 2:37 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, Abby. I love when hitters do that.

  36. 2008 May 4 at 2:37 pm

    That was useful. Kazmir’s being limited on pitches today because it’s his first start with the big club this year.

  37. 2008 May 4 at 2:38 pm

    The radio’s saying Kazmir is limited to 100 pitches, to be more specific. Lugo just got rid of over 1/10 of those pitches.

  38. 2008 May 4 at 2:38 pm

    They said Kazmir can probably throw about 100 today. He threw 81 in his last rehab start.

  39. 2008 May 4 at 2:40 pm

    what was up with hte lugo stare at Kazmir

  40. 2008 May 4 at 2:40 pm

    PLEATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  41. 2008 May 4 at 2:41 pm

    PEDROIA GETTIN IT DONE – AGAIN!

    Super Man is back!

  46. 2008 May 4 at 2:42 pm

    I don’t believe it – it’s Jim Rice.

  47. 2008 May 4 at 2:42 pm

    Celtics are on ABC

  48. 2008 May 4 at 2:43 pm

    thanks Ian. =)

  49. 2008 May 4 at 2:43 pm
