July 4th @ Texas

[schillingouttheks]

Well, first off, happy 4th everyone, and this is the second to last series before the All-Star Break Tonight's match-up:

 

http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/150063.jpg#52 Wade Miller (2-2, 5.14) @

http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/400156.jpg#30 Ricardo Rodriguez (2-1, 3.65)

 

Should be an interesting game, no? I hope we see the good side of what we brought Wade to Boston for. He has an incredible amount of talent, but he does seem uncomfortable at times with his pitches/location, etc.

 

I don't know too much about Ricardo Rodriguez so all I can hope for is that our offense picks up and lights him up like a Christmas tree (or Hanukkah menorah, or anything I forgot. Sorry )

[RedSoxRooter]

Miller back in TX for the first time since he left the Astros? Could be interesting...

[YanksHater213]

We need this game.

[YanksHater213]

Yankees were up 6-0, but now theyre only up 6-4. They just walked in 2 runs. Sturtze is out, Proctor is in.

[Youk Of The Nation]

6-5 now.

[stocker323]

11-8 Yankees in the bottom of the 8th. Bunch of bloop hits and errors have brought down the O's.

Well, I can't really complain at who wins in the NYY/BAL series. We need a win tonight to expand our lead over the O's but also to keep the Yanks at bay.

 

I guess down the road though we should root for the O's? :dunno: It's just that the Yanks salary...just...can't...suck...this much down the road.

 

Oh yeah, also, even though the Yanks seem to be a bigger threat, or who knows if the O's are for real as they've been stumbling recently too, Shaughnessy thinks the Sox will win the division by 10. I think that's ludicrous and Yeszir should go leave a fart in his chair again on his next tour of The Fens <_>

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yes, by all means keep Miller in the rotation and put Arroyo in the bullpen.

 

 

Or we could MURDER MILLER, trade Embree/Foulke, and keep Arroyo.

 

 

2-0 in the FIRST INNING! BASES LOADED, NO OUTS! An ERROR! The man is a loser.

[RedSoxRooter]

Here we go again with Miller.

 

 

2-0 Rangers. This is why he would suck in the bullpen.

[Youk Of The Nation]

3-0! Why dont we put, say, Ortiz in there to pitch for the rest of the inning?

 

Still no outs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That inning was bad enough that Im acutally able to shout

 

 

 

GOOD PLAY, MARK f***ING BELLHORN!

 

 

2 outs, one on.

[Youk Of The Nation]

What the bloody f***ing hell? Why does Manny keep doing that! Isnt he happy with singles? Every f***ing time he singles, he tries to stretch it. Soriano was freaking waiting for him with a cup of tea.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Aaaaand Wade Miller walks the first batter of the second inning, much as he walked the first batter of the first inning.

[YanksHater213]

f***.

[Youk Of The Nation]

ACK, double post. Damn computer.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I hate Wade Miller. I hated him before the season started. I hate him more now. I hate him.

 

 

Runners on the corners, 1 out.

[Youk Of The Nation]

4 hits. 3 runs. 3 walks. 1.2 innings.

 

 

Go to hell, Wade Miller.

[schillingouttheks]

Maybe it's a good thing I can't see the game...

 

Would I be on the edge with my sanity? I was in his most recent home appearance against the Guardians...

[RedSoxRooter]

He's not right. I think a trip to the DL would be nice when Schill pitches next...

[Youk Of The Nation]

He's not right. I think a trip to the DL would be nice when Schill pitches next...

 

 

See my post about Embree several games ago.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That was pathetic. Wanna try hitting something, guys? You cant count on EVERYONE pitching like this.

[YanksHater213]

Talk about a lucky inning... 2 runs off of 3 walks and a wild pitch... 3-2 Rangers.

[Youk Of The Nation]

5 walks. Bases loaded AGAIN.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Damn lucky. We need RUN SUPPORT! Wheres our road rage?

[YanksHater213]

3-2 Texas still after four.

[Youk Of The Nation]

And Horny draws a walk. My only consolation in this game is that Rodriguez is walking as many as Miller is.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Arrgh! Stay away from the double plays, guys!

[Youk Of The Nation]

5 K's, 5 BB's......make up your mind.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Im having an argument with myself. How sad is that? I hope someone reads this and appreciates my commentary...
