April 5th @ Cleveland

[dirtdogman5]

OK there is no way that we're are gonna lose today. It just won't happen. They came back last night and the offense will break out tonight. Let's all forget about the Yankees and Orioles and just worry about us. Kim's coming off a good season debut and D'Amico pretty much sucks so let's go get'em.

[ACL BoSox]

Well, I don't see the Red Sox beating Sabathia so they better win this one!

[RedSox24]

they better win this hopefully the offense in the 9th will carry over the rest of the season

[yeszir]

Well, ddm, you started this thread. Maybe thats the change that the sox need to get their offense going! Kim vs D'amico should be no contest. I hope it isnt at least.

Think positively, man!

[roary]

D'Amico's line against Boston in his career:

     G	GS	W	L	SV	CG	SHO	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP	BAA 	

vs.BOS 	4	4	0	3	0	0	0	22.0	31	19	19	7	3	14	7.77	1.55	.333 

 

A horrible ERA, a ridiculously high BAA. If the sox can carry over the offensive prowess of last night's 9th inning, then we can be set. And if we get good pitching out of BK, I bet our lineup could score at LEASt 4 runs tonight, so we can win.

 

And Redsox24, why dont you see us beating C.C? He isnt that great of a pitcher you know.

[YanksHater213]

too bad, hopefully we can get the lead back

[yeszir]

The site went down as the game started, so we couldnt bitch!

[YanksHater213]

i hope kim wont be like this all season, good outing, crappy outing etc

[YanksHater213]

if there is a game in this series we need to win its tonight. yankees are facing zito, were facing D'AMICO!!! WHO HAS THE BEST CHANCE TO WIN?!?!?! ILL LEAVE THAT YOU TO DECIDE

[YanksHater213]

ORTIZZLE FOSHIZZLE CERTAINLY ISNT SLUMPING

[yeszir]

Its out first lead since the first of the month! 4-3 sox. Maybe, FINALLY, just POSSIBLY, we could win this one. What do you say?

[YanksHater213]

2nd lead, ortizzle also bombed one in the first inning if u missed it

[yeszir]

oooooo, I did miss it. I turned it on at 3-1, when were losing, and I just assumed.

 

Damn, pizaaza broke Fisk's record of most homeruns by a catcher today. I was hoping Pudge could hang onto that one. Oh well, Fisk was still better!

[YanksHater213]

BATS ARE COMING AROUND!!!! Millar, Mueller, Bellhorn all with hits, THIS LOOKS LIKE THE GAME

 

 

5-3

[roary]

Nice. The sox are now 2-2 with RISP, and we've scored 4 in this one inning. Hopefully they can keep the pressure on and continue to score runs throughout the game. It seems that they've been scoring in spurts all season long. I'd prefer one or two runs here, another couple there, that way we dont always have to fight back or protect a lead.

 

But, if today gets us on the right track, then I'm all for it.

[YanksHater213]

all of those scored RISP were 2 outs too, thats what this team needs, consistency with 2 outs

[yeszir]

Ouch. Sloppy baseball by the Red Sox. Kim throws one away and now Bellhorn lets one get through. Thats no hits in this inning by the tribe, and they've scored a run

 

5-4 sox.

[YanksHater213]

they wanna win they gotta win ugly

[RoyNHSox]

How many unearned runs does this make on the road trip? The defense has been terrible lately. Time for a refresher in fundamentals!

[yagmaster]

Is kim really throwing 80 MPH fastballs?

[YanksHater213]

100% agree with the horrid defense, it seems like its being more of a problem now than it was when todd walker was our 2nd baseman

[YanksHater213]

well dont worry about Kims 80 mph fastablls, Malaska is now in. they should have brought in Arroyo though

Agreed, hope Arroyo gets in this game.

 

At least the sox are scoring runs and hitting the ball, its there crappy defense and bad starting pitching that has hurt them this game.

 

I thought Mark Bellhorne and Pokey Reese were supposed to be defensive improvements?

[YanksHater213]

apparently not, i think we would have been better off with tood walker. he is having a strong season filling in for the injured mark grudzielanek. he is leading off batting .309

he is now in the game

[Tek04]

Redsox need to win this game. Need to stop the bleeding.

 

The A's also need to win

[YanksHater213]

zito vs brown, A's have the edge

[Tek04]

Bill Mueller always performs well in the bottom of the lineup. Very nice home run

[YanksHater213]

so much for the slump eh? busting out the whooping sticks tonight. reminds me much of last year
