Wakefield vs Mussina. 1:05 pm EST, again.

 

Another useless middle of the day game, thanks a lot MLB. I have a feeling that our boys are eager to get out their and atone for the past two games. Mussina is the most hittable he's been in a long time, and we need to take advantage of that. It's gonna be 6-3 sox and Renteria will finally get it together. I hope.

If traditions hold true, the Red Sox will put it together behind Wakefield.

[mosox]

Brad Mills is acting manager today with Tito in the hospital.

[mosox]

Wake is looking good, Edgar is still looking terrible.

[ACL BoSox]

The third inning the past two games is where it has fallen apart for us. Lets hope we can fix that today. 0-0 Bottom 3rd

[ACL BoSox]

Lets see how we blow a bases loaded no one out situation.

[ACL BoSox]

Good job renteria, two double plays today, you single handedly ruined the momentum.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Jeter just got hit in the head!!

[ACL BoSox]

And now were losing...

[ACL BoSox]

another blown save for rivera thanks to the arod error

 

Come on, oritZ!!!

 

EDIT: woot, not pretty, but an RBI

 

4-3 Sox

[ACL BoSox]

RED SOX PWN RIVERA

 

although its just three games, just something to savor though

[CrespoBlows]

Rivera = Owned

[sallenstein]

YAY! We Won!!!

[mosox]

Another blown one by Mo, a boot by a-rod, even a two rbi hit from Edgar. All is right with the world.

[yeszir]

Note how I said 6-3 earlier. I was close, right?

 

I think the excitement got to Francona...but he's ok now.

What I don't understand is how come we've been so good agaist Rivera of late. Is it because he was proven to be beatable last year? Are we feeding off of the past success? He has a 2.9something era against the sox lifetime, so its not like our team has had his number for long.

[element1151]

Good 1st win for the Sox. Now we can beat up on the Jays.

[YanksHater213]

I hate day games. Even when the Sox win. But even if they played tonight I still wouldnt have watched it, as the Celtics are on. But from what I've heard it was a good win.

You'd watch the celtics over sox-yanks ?

I think facing him roughly 15-20 times a year, has something to do it. When you only have 1 pitch and a team sees you that many times, eventually hitters are going to catch on. Until he adds another dominant pitch I think the Sox will continue to feast on him.

[Zenny]

I love watching Mo fall apart. The only thing more satisfying would've been if Timlin's pitch knocked Jeter unconscious.

[YanksHater213]

You'd watch the celtics over sox-yanks ?

Yes, without a doubt. Id watch the Celtics over anything, except the Pats. Of course during the commercials though I would watch the Sox game so I wouldnt see the gay midget leprachaun foxwoods commercial.

But how come the Orioles or Jays don't feast on him? Sure, their hitters aren't as good as ours, but if this is truly it, shouldn't they be able to hit him all the time? I think it may be mental, particularly on his part. He knows he isn't invincible against us, so he makes mistakes.

Well the last 4 times we have faced him we have, obviously you can't be successful against a pitcher every single game. The Orioles and Jays, change their lineups very frequently and not many players stay in those lineups consistently for a number of years. Plus our lineup is very superior to the Jays, the Orioles lineup is very good, but a lot of those players have joined the O's in the last couple of years, so they haven't faced Mo like we have.

rent played fine...its only the 3rd game

 

one more thing....

 

Hey Rivera...Who's Your Daddy?

Their hitters are pretty damn good, but the problem is it's mental, and our hitters are much more selective. Look at how our hitters take the pitch they want and hit the ball.

[Yanksin2010]

Trade rivera now.

[DOrtiz4prez]

Trade rivera now.

 

He can't handle the Sox but he is still one of the most dominant closers in the game. Don't trade him.

[gosox613]

you guys need to lay off renteria, give him a few days, geez u guys are so pessimistic regarding him

[Smithers]

Haha you obviously haven't lost the tradition Red Sox fan-mentality...
