Walden, you might be interested that the Red Sox have a Navajo on their team named Jacoby Ellsbury. His mother is full-blood, and he speaks Navajo on the phone with her and looks forward to going home so that he can speak his native tongue more. I've been watching baseball for 40 years and he's the fastest player I've ever seen.Walden wrote:As long as there is population discrimination in the major leagues, all Oklahoma-based teams will remain ineligible.
Josh Beckett threw a 4-hit shutout tonight in a duel between world-series clinchers, one of whom pitched well tonight. If the Red Sox can get by Cleveland I don't see any National League team beating them.

World Series
Anyone but the Yankees (though gotta give Joe Torre some love - I mean putting up with George S. for how many years now?)

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I had no idea that Ellsbury was a Navajo! That's really interesting. I was thrilled that they put him in last night. He's an incredible player.chas wrote:Walden, you might be interested that the Red Sox have a Navajo on their team named Jacoby Ellsbury.

And Beckett! He was hotter than hot...and for him to pitch the entire game. Wow. It was really a great game to watch!

Yeah, he's fast, alright. But there is one rookie on their team who's even faster, and we'll probably have to wait for the World Series to see him run:chas wrote:... Jacoby Ellsbury... I've been watching baseball for 40 years and he's the fastest player I've ever seen.
It's Clay Buchholtz. I heard he was a track star in HS or College (no bio on redsox.com). Sadly though, he's not currently on the active roster, but that can change, of course.
I can't wait for the WS! But we will <sigh> have to get through the Yankees first (yes, I think the Yanks will beat Cleveland. Poetry and fate dictate that the Boston/NY thing will again rear it's ugly but exciting head).
GO SOX!
EDITTED AFTER READING THIS:
mlb.com wrote:BOSTON -- As it turns out, top pitching prospect Clay Buchholz will not be a secret weapon for the club come October. Citing some weakness and fatigue that developed in Buchholz's right shoulder during September, the Red Sox announced on Friday that the right-hander will not pitch again in 2007.
