August 6th @ Tampa Bay

[riverside sluggers]

coming into todays game, Sox catchers were hitting .230 in 430 AB's. Thats good for worst in the AL.

 

How about Sox catchers allowing 78 SBs in 93 attempts, that must be worst also

[RoyNHSox]

These games in Tampa suck. It’s like the Sox end up playing down to the level of the D-Rays.

[MC Hammer]

Nice to see JJ got rid of that lead as quick as he could.

probably is. WOW i never knew it was that bad

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Toronto has taken a 4-3 lead.

I thought it was worse. It's hard to remember any caught stealings. Slow guys steal off us.

Prediction: Crisp will be going to the hatter to size his sombrero.

 

Any team with a bevy of soft tossing lefties in the minors would do well to call them up when the Sox visit. Fossum, Howell, Lily, Moyer, Redman, Glavine, anyone owns this team.

Its funny how Johnson giving up 2 runs off of 2 hits in 5 innings is being criticized. It only looks more glaring because of the Sox getting 2 runs off of a pitcher who has a 5.76 career ERA

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Didnt you guys hit like 4 HR's in a game off of Moyer?

In 4 innings. Give him time. He'll probably get lit up in the 5th.

I'm criticizing him because we got him an early lead and he handed it right back. I dont care if it was a 1 run lead and he was throwing a no hitter ... I'd still be disapointed.

[a700hitter]

#40 for Ortiz as we ride on his big back once more.

[MC Hammer]

Papi just assured that JJ will give up at least 4 runs today.

[ORS]

Yeah, forgot about that, it was the 2nd time around, he struck out 10 in 6 the first time.

 

Good thing Papi is such a big dude, because he's carrying a lot of dead weight right now.

congrats to Papi, another 40 HR season

Papi 10 homers shy of the team record set by Jimmie Foxx in 1938

[MC Hammer]

ty Papi now if the rest of the sox could play like they care..... (im looking at you Manny)

Yeah I know what you're saying. Look at Manny's horrible line for the season

 

AVG .319 | HR 31 | RBI 89 | OBP .429 | SLG .633

 

... boy I wish he cared

[a700hitter]

ty Papi now if the rest of the sox could play like they care..... (im looking at you Manny)

He does have a 21 game hitting streak. He's hitting insane right now with 31 HRs over 90 RBI. You should be looking at everyone after him in the lineup.

Manny's having a carbon copy season of what he's done the last decade. He put them back into the game last night. So sorry, but, try again.

[riverside sluggers]

Manny's doing nothing wrong at all, he's currently riding a 21 game hitting streak and has just been mashing the ball left & right. I hope this wont be a rehash of last year, part of downfall was that Manny & Papi were the only ones producing from mid-September to the playoffs

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

I'll take Manny's attitude and his usual 1.000 OPS on my team.

[ORS]

I think Anuj just got a big fat dish of STFU. Eat it up, smart guy.

[Anuj09]

my bad i hate seeing our pitching just crumble its really annoying what i said about manny was wrong. Sorry RS Nation my b i take that back IM f***in pissed at myself

[MC Hammer]

well the way we he just kinda walked away when i was watching i was like wtf?! he also swung at some weird pitches. Maybe its just me really ticked that the yanks are rolling and the sox arent despite the yanks losing.

So you can tell that Manny doesn't care because of the way he walked ... and the fact that he made a few bad swings. Someone needs to break your hands so you can't dig this hole any deeper.

 

O yah Hammer stop doing that s*** man you do it all the time

Stop making dumb people like you look dumb .... no.

Edwin Jackson is on for TB. He was a highly touted young prospect sought after by many teams in trade talks. The Dodgers held on to him a little too long. They could have gotten a load for him if they had traded him before he was exposed.

I'd hardly say he's been exposed. He's 23 years old .. he's got plenty of time.

Stock down on him.

 

Edit: He's a dud. The Dogers are well rid of him.

[Anuj09]

like i said that was my bad i respect Manny i was really ticked at us Losing to Tampa at Tampa that JJ blew a lead of 2 which i know isnt terrible its just really annoying

 

Again i take back what i said and as Hammer put it i made myself look dumb bacl to the game now
