Oh man, if they win this, wont we all feel stupid for complaining? That'd be the needed spark to get us going for sure!

i will feel like the biggest ass in the world, looks like the hitting slump could be gone

[YanksHater213]

base hit for belllhorn, fielders choice for ortizzle

 

ortizzle on 1st, manny up

[yeszir]

Wow. I cant believe they didnt turn that. The sox caught a big one. Hopefully mr congeniality can get a hit now. We need a big one.

[YanksHater213]

fitting end...

[yeszir]

CLUTCH!!!!!

[Tek04]

redsox come from behind and win? that never happens...man did i call that strikeout

[YanksHater213]

no, you called bellhorn to strike out

[YanksHater213]

this is why there are 162 games and not 81

I guess Manny can't hit two 85-90 mph straight fastballs and a hanging curveball right down the middle. Well at least they showed some signs of life. We'll get'em tomorrow.

 

BTW- I am starting a game thread tomorrow. I have not posted one during this losing streak and I think it it time I start reversing some of this losing trend. Tomorrow's game thread is mine.

Yes! No one start it! Start it good and early ddm, so no one beats you to it!

Hopefully the offensive outburst for the Sox in the 9th was a sign of something good on the horizon. But I did like the fact Francona tried to do something with the lineup. Putting Bellhorn in the 2nd spot with Mueller batting 8th was a good idea that seemed to help Mueller tonight.

 

If the batting remains cold why not a call up from Pawtucket? Andy Dominique or Febles come to mind...I'm not saying it's necessarily going to be the solution, but why not? Can it hurt? We’ve gone through the rotation and lost all 5 games.

But guys, we're acting like Orbitalex (Netsporters know what I'm talking about).

You're right. You know I'm glad he freaked out. He looked so stupid and in the end was wrong, that's why I'm not freaking out now...

 

I'll tell you what though, Bellhorn's on my Crespo list.

Well, the offense woke up, now lets split this series. Tonight the Sox fell short, but if they can come out like they did in the 9th, we have nothing to worry about.

 

BTW, the Yanks are down 3-0 in the second...

 

and in bad news, the Orioles won 10-3, so I think we're tied with them for the division, I might be mistaken, I don't check the standings early on in the season.

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO GET RID OF BELLHORN?!?!?!?

 

First of all, who would play 2nd base

 

Second of all, he is 4th on the team in on-base percentage (.417) and 5th on the team in OPS (.750). He has the most walks on the team (27, only sox player with more walks than strikeouts besides damon), 6th on the team in RBIs (10), tied for the 3rd most runs scored (13), and has stolen 2 bases (3rd on team)

 

This is the exact reason why Theo is keeping Bellhorn

We're tied with the yankees and the Orioles are one back.
