The sox lead by one run in the top of the 1st on may 1st at Texas. I'm pretty sure that was our last lead. That's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

agree

[RedSox24]

haha that is pathetic

[YanksHater213]

if the sox dont win the newspapers will absolutely bash them tomorrow

[RedSox24]

good first inning eh?

[YanksHater213]

at least the yankees have to face 2/3 of the big 3 (zito and mulder, along with harden)

[RedSox24]

they swept them last time

[yawkeyway]

Who cares what the newspaper says? It's long been one of Boston sports' downsides. Anything and everything gets negative coverage, and thats the main reason some players hate playing here.

 

Whoa, Dauber just narrowly avoided that pitch,

 

Anyway, I dont care what Shaughnessy says in the paper tomorrow. I care what I think, and I think that this team blows right now. I'm pissed at them, I dont need to see a writer get pissed to know what I feel.

[YanksHater213]

feel your pain

[ACL BoSox]

Normally I would say, "hey, its only two runs."

 

Not with the way our offense is swinging.

[RedSox24]

ha yea, last year we could say "hey its only 4 runs"

[ACL BoSox]

After I saw the first inning I got ill, so I'm watching a movie now, if anything good happens, be sure to let me know.

Which movie? That makes all the difference dontchaknow. Hopefully its a good movie, where the main character makes a miraculous comeback.

NO! Don't give up on them so soon! If you can't watch this you arent true Red Sox fans! How did you ever live through game 7 last year?

 

Plus, all is not bad. Lowe just struck out the first batter of the second inning.

[ACL BoSox]

you ever seen Donnie Darko?

not giving up, yahoo gamecast, its only about a batter slow, i usually use it for yankee games while watching the sox but the yanks dont play till 10. i want to get my moneys worth out of my cable

[ACL BoSox]

Even if Derek Lowe pitches perfect the rest of the way, can the sox pull out two runs to tie, and then a third to win?

 

It seems like two runs is asking for too much lately.

[YanksHater213]

they get the baserunners, just not the consistent 2 out hits with risp

[RedSox24]

damn it

[YanksHater213]

maybe ortizzle and mueller were 1 year wonders???

 

certainly hope not

Mueller I can see as being a one year wonder, but I know he isnt. Ortiz isn't dooing poorly at all this year either. He's battin .284 with 5 homeruns. In fact, he leads the team. He got the team's only RBI last night. Ortiz is one player I'm not worried about. You know he'll snap out of it in a big way.

But the concern is that he was supposed to have fixed the kink in his batting approach that led to 10 homeruns in the first half. After he fixed that thanks to Papa Jack, he went on a tear. It's curious that this didn't carry over to this year.

 

It looks like Lowe has settled down a little bit now.

[RedSox24]

Yea

[YanksHater213]

tek, manny and ortizzle are carrying this offense

[YanksHater213]

OMG, DAUBER GOT A HIT, now if mccarty can get a hit with tek in scoring position that would be amazing

[YanksHater213]

OMG A RUN!!!!! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!

It's pathetic though that we got the run on a double play. Its kind of representative of the entire sox offense this year. The only way we can score a run is by hitting into a double play. Wow.

[YanksHater213]

it just puzzles me how we went from the best hitting team to the worst
