Gold Glove Caliber

11 hours until game time. With Youk sitting I was wondering if they would move Jacoby to lead-off, drop Dustin to second or keep Dustin in the lead-off and move Drew to second. Well, wonder no more. NY Times is reporting that Jacoby will be lead-off tonight. It may not make a huge difference, especially if Jacoby gets on base a couple of times and works it into a run. That being said, I like the fact that our line up has been putting pressure on pitchers early. Moving Drew to the second spot would make up for Youk being out of the line up. But I guess with the pitcher batting 9th you would be lowering Jacoby's threat factor.

Which is more likely to happen, as Earl asked earlier the words "Dante" and "Bichette" being used or DiceK going yard? Chicks dig the long ball.

By the way, read the last line of the NY Times article to figure out the title of this post.

  2. Daisy and I count 2 uses of the word humidor but we missed pre-game.

    By the way... I LOVE DICEK!!!

    Remember that time DiceK had as many RBI as Lowell?

  4. Ortiz grounds to second. Manny makes good contact but boy this park is huge. Lowell grounds out.

  5. What's the deal with blowing on hands in cold weather? Is it a judgment call by the ref or below a certain degrees? It looks cold. Youk is dressed for winter!

  6. Phew... he settled down - I guess.

    I don't like this double switch, but I hope Coco proves me wrong.
