Now please go ahead and introduce yourself to Taylor. We're going to get married, have 10 kids, and teach them how to dream.
I'm in Nashville from Wed-Fri for our company's PM conference.
I nominate Va for the gt if she's games for it, I feel like her mojo could get us some wins. Just a gut feeling.

Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT : Mind your own fucking business if a conversation doesn't concern you and maybe we can start acting like adults.
That's foul. I'm one of the good ones. That's too much torture. But seriously, that was pretty embarassing that I didn't know that.

Well, Charge this L to V; he should take Bard out after the first walk, everybody knew that he was done after that walk in the 7th. Bench Youk and let fucking McD take a spot? Really?. What do the managers see in this guy ?, Hell, I prefer see Repko or Ciriaco or even Nava or whoever you want, but please get rid of this bust for once and for all.
Bard was great. He only needs to manage better the count specially when he is 0-2/1-2. His repertory looked a lot better.
The best offense in the majors (IMO) is coming, but the good thing is that Lester and Beckett will face them. Hopefully everything between Youk and V is in the past and move on... Oh, and please V, shut up!.
Go Sox!

Wow, just watched the highlights. Larry vanover deserves to be fired. He's lucky Ross didn't drop his ass. What a cunt, 99.9% of umps are. There is no accountability with those sacks of shit, they're pathetic and the overwhelming majority of them deserve to lose their jobs. Can we really blame delmon young for flinging his bat at an ump back in the minors. It's sad what these idiots get away with. Anybody else sucks at their job and gets fired, not these assholes.

If it isn't even relatively close, then you have to take the pitch. If it is called a strike there is nothing you can do about it.
I would have liked Ross to swing at that pitch, but that is just because I don't like when games are ended on a batter being called out on strikes. I cannot blame him for not swinging at it. It was a clear ball. My only logic is that the ump was inconsistent all game. It is a tough call to swing at that pitch. Nine times out of ten that is called a ball. Obviously some umpires need to get their eyes checked. I just hate to see us lose a game on a horrible call for strike three. I would not be as pissed if the balls and strikes were be called fairly. I am not disagreeing with you, because you are making good points. I was just kind of upset at the time because there is nothing more that I dislike as a player myself than watching a game ending in a guy caught looking on strike three. Ross actually had good discipline to layoff of that pitch.Because the whole point of the strike zone is that that's the area where, if a ball is thrown there, a professional hitter ought to be able to make contact with it. If a ball is thrown too far outside the strike zone, sure, you can occasionally still make contact if you're disciplined, have a good idea what you're swinging at and have a quick bat, but has that described Ross at any point recently?
If he swings at that, odds are what happens is that he misses, and we're yelling at him for chasing one that was obviously out of the zone to end the game.
Should be an interesting couple of days. This will be a major test for our pitching staff along the lines of Detroit. Neither Detroit nor Texas is typical of the offensive prowess of teams in the AL but neither is Tampa the other way. Our top two guys go tonight and tomorrow night and then we have 3, 4 and 5 going against the Yanks.
Go Sox.
The concerning thing about the Yankee series is that our pitchers most prone to wildness will be facing the team that has a lot of patience, and because of them being "The Yankees!" seems to get the smallest strike zone when they are at the plate. It might be agonizing to watch.
Tough loss after 3 wins. You want to see them sweep the Rays--who I still think are an overrated, scrappy team. The games you want to win against them are these type--beat 'em at their own smallball game.
When's the last time the Red Sox won a morning game during the Boston (make that Kenyan) Marathon?
They don't win very often, in my recollection. Maybe they should be in bed earlier for a morning game.
They might also take some advice from the Kenyans: it was evident to me about 10 years ago when the Kenyans started dominating the Marathon that they run as a TEAM. They put 3 or 4 guys or gals up front and control the pace. That's why they have the top 3 finishers both male and female. Plus they have maybe the world's best distance runners right now. But it's the team approach that makes them unbeatable. Nobody else does that.
The Sox could use some of that team spirit. They didn't have it last year--they need to recapture it this year. Maybe some of that young blood--kids trying to make it big-- might help this team. I see too many mediocre veterans on this club with no upside.
I think slaughtering one of the leagues best pitching staffs in 3 straight games means the team is fine. 3 of 4 is still fantastic.

Automate the balls and strike calling already! Short of that, at least implement a challenge system. It works great in tennis and cricket.
The umpire was not constant all game long i don't blame Ross for being upset but you got to protect the plate. those type of calls are for youth games not in mlb level.
Wouldnt work in mlb you still say it would be "fixed" if the call didn't go the right way not to metion there calls the umpire has to make that a machine cannot do.
