May 30th vs. Baltimore

[schillingouttheks]

I'm so pumped for this game. Let's keep the success rolling right along and take advantage of the just-swept Orioles.

We all remember Rodrigo Lopez, the "certified" Red Sox killer. That memorable 1-0 win over the Orioles where Clement pitched a gem could have easily gone either way, as we won off of an unearned run. Hopefully the tables will turn, and our newfound offense will kick in and get to Baltimore. Important series--4 games vs. Baltimore for first place!! We are 3 out currently, with the Yanks heading out to KC for a 3 game set. (They are off tonight)

 

So, let's pick up a game on the Orioles and in doing so, pick up another half game over the Yanks! Hopefully, Arroyo will bounce back from his last dreadful outing against Toronto. GO SOX! GO ARROYO!

 

And on another note: It's great to be home!

[RedSoxRooter]

Home for a week, that is. :dance:

 

And people, lay off of Millar. He'll come around.

I'm going to the game tonight. Sitting near the first base bag. Should be lots o' fun.

[schillingouttheks]

Maybe we'll spot you? Tell us how to!

Yeszir, if you mail me $20, I'll make a TalkSox.com sign.

SWEETNESS. Advertising is always good.

Temperature supposed to be about 70 degrees tonight. There are forecasted thunderstorms for tonight, about a 40% chance of rain. So hopefully they'll be able to get it in.

 

Lopez has been a Red Sox killer in his career and has faced them twice already this season. He allowed eight earned runs in 3 1/3 innings on April 26, but the Orioles rallied and he received a no-decision. Five days earlier, Lopez allowed one run over eight innings but was bested by Matt Clement, who tossed eight scoreless innings. Arroyo has been the glue in an inconsistent rotation this season. He was dealt his first loss in 18 starts last week against Toronto.

 

The right-handed Arroyo looked rusty in his first start back from his six-game suspension, giving up six hits and five runs (two earned) over six innings in a loss to the Blue Jays. However, Arroyo, overall, has been a rock. This is his first start this season against the Orioles. In five career outings against Baltimore, Arroyo is 0-1 with a 5.27 ERA.

Yeszir, if you mail me $20, I'll make a TalkSox.com sign.

No.

 

I'm going too. I'll bring my own for free. I'm sitting 3rd base side in some damn nice seats with calvnhobs.

[soxie thefangirl]

I hope we win tonight! Aww I wish I were going.

[yeszir]

Wow I really hope it doesnt rain, or the rain falls before the game. I hate weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day like this, yes?

[soxie thefangirl]

it's supposed to rain between 3 and 6pm. it should be done by game time.

[Zenny]

No.

 

I'm going too. I'll bring my own for free. I'm sitting 3rd base side in some damn nice seats with calvnhobs.

Damn you. That would've been a nice $20.

 

You making a sign?

[yeszir]

Damn you. That would've been a nice $20.

 

You making a sign?

No, I'm not that much of a loser. If I had a tshirt I would wear one though. That's where I draw the line.

[YanksHater213]

Ehhhh... Lopez always seems to pitch very well against the Red Sox. But Arroyo has been stud-like and our hitting has been pretty amazing the past few games. Don't really know what will happen.

[CalvnHobs6]

soxie - I'll tell Bellhorn you said hi.

[soxie thefangirl]

hahaha. God I'd kill to meet Bellhorn.

 

I think we shall win tonight. hopefully it won't keep raining.

[YanksHater213]

I was driving back up to my house from Boston this afternoon, the rain is pretty damn erratic. So if there is rain, it wont be a downpour for a long time. If there is a downpour, itll blow right over probably.

[soxie thefangirl]

good thing. I'm right outside Boston and the rain's almost done here mostly.

[CalvnHobs6]

If Jennifer Garner is your new avatar forever, you've made me a very happy man.

[soxie thefangirl]

Jen G. is gorgoeus. I guarentee it won't stay forever.

 

But I have many of her.

[yeszir]

And I'm off. Rent can expect an ovation from me alright.

[schillingouttheks]

I hope his success continues at home..

[schillingouttheks]

Eh...1-0 Baltimore, 2 outs in bottom of 1st with Surhoff at the plaTASKGFA AJH DFS ASDVSV AS!!! AND NIXON THROWS OUT TEJADA AT THE PLATE WOOHOO. I turned on the game too late to see how they scored the first run...anyone know? I'm guessing it was a HR? Brian Roberts? Yes/no/maybe so?

[YanksHater213]

RBI single by Tejada (Roberts scored the run)

[BeanTown33]

thanx i was wondering about the first run too. i turned on the game a little late

[schillingouttheks]

Arroyo looks off...not good. Perhaps that suspension got to him?

[BeanTown33]

Lets hope it didnt get to him. but i know defense isn't looking to good tonight. to many gaps in the outfield.

[BeanTown33]

f***!! they scored!
