Arroyo's been money on the road this year, and the Red Sox have trouble vs lefties. Should be interesting.

[CrespoBlows]

It's John Halama though, I don't think he's that good.

[element1151]

Used to play for the Mariners, he is done.

[Chrupzilla]

Halama is a solid pitcher, nothing special.

In 5 starts in July, he had 28 IP, allowed 18 ER ... but 9 of them in one terrible start.

Pitched 8.0 shut out innings on July 16, allowing 3 hits and no walks to go along with 3 K's against Baltimore. Impressive. Followed that up with a 3.2 IP, 9 ER performance. Not so impressive ... :huh:

[yagmaster]

I'm becoming increasivngly confident in Bronson, I hope he continues to rebound from his rough couple of months. His last few have been very good.

[YanksHater213]

i was kidding

[element1151]

They are 0-3 combined in the 5th inning.

[yagmaster]

Deep sac fly for Millar, 3 - 1 good guys.

[yeszir]

It's been a while since I watched a sox game. Nice and relaxing (at times).

[CrespoBlows]

Chavez homerun puts Oakland ahead 6-4

Hopefully we can gain some ground in both races.

[Zenny]

Alright, Chavie is on my fantasy team.

[Tek04]

Well Arroyo just gave up a Grand Slam, 5-4 D-Rays

[elsrbueno]

why in the hell did Arroyo stay in after loading the bases?

why in the hell cant this team beat the fucking devil rays?

[ACL BoSox]

Damn! Rocco Baldelli had such an accurate throw, typically Roberts would have scored but what can you say. That was a hell of a throw.

:( At least we won a road series.

[Beaneater]

Someone help me out here. I'm "watching" this game play-by-play on the Net, so I can't always see what's going on. It's top 9th, 0 out, guys at the corners and Mueller up. Next time I hit refresh, there are two outs, none scored, guys still at the corners (but different guys), and Damon up. Then it's game over. What happened?

[element1151]

This preformance was just sad.

[element1151]

Miller singled, went to 2nd on a passed ball. Doug M. Singled, Millers PR Roberts is out a home. 1 out, Doug M. on 2nd. Mueller grounds out, Doug M. on 3rd. Kaplar HBP. Damon pops up.

[ACL BoSox]

Baldelli made a really good throw. That's how the story of the game goes, we were over zealous. If nothing else it should have been tied on that ground ball that followed.

[CrespoBlows]

Francona needs to go!

[yeszir]

Absolutely horrible. I know its a little late in the next day to comment, but that was pathetic. :(
