Cora came in for Loretta?

 

Loretta got hit off the elbow by a pitch

[Cocos Disciples]

Precaution, Loretta was hit.

[jsinger121]

gonzalez should have had that ball

[Cocos Disciples]

Crap. 4-3.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Why the f*** is Jon Lester still in this game....wake the hell up Francona

[RoyNHSox]

That sucks. Lester doesn't escape this time.

[a700hitter]

No, Lester shouldn't have loaded the bases.

[jsinger121]

No, Lester shouldn't have loaded the bases.

 

that too but that was an inning ending groundball that gonzalez normally fields.

[a700hitter]

It's only normal for Gonzo because he is so good. If you keep putting guys on base, you will eventually find trouble. You can make a good pitch and a bloop can turn into two or three runs.

If you managed the team for a week the bullpen would all need Tommy John surgery. It's only the 5th against THE ROYALS.

[jacksonianmarch]

At the rate Lester is going, he'll need tommy john. This f***in guy is a fine #5, but he doesnt have the guts or the stuff to be a #3 yet.

[a700hitter]

Lopez was safe.. bad call.

[noonanberg]

thats a perfect example of tito being too passive. thats a perfect time for a manager to put a lil fire under his team's ass. tito should have argued that call. maybe even got tossed for it. show the team this game actually means something.

[noonanberg]

a stretch, but maybe that's a tie game on that 2B. or at least 2 in scoring position with one out.

He's got the guts, but not the command. The stuff is probably there too, but he needs to throw strikes more consistently. Five innings from the # 3 guy just does not cut it. Everyone in the pen will need surgery.

He has a bad cold. Have you no compassion.

[RedSoxRooter]

Watching the Royals broadcast..... It's actually pretty good. It's like listening to two 105 year old geezers talk baseball. I like it.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Lester stuff wise reminds me alot of Andy Pettitte however he should still be in the minors IMO.

[noonanberg]

twins win, and for the time being are the wild card leaders.

[a700hitter]

HAnsen has not ben able to pitch two innings all year and lately he has had problems with one-inning outings.

[jacksonianmarch]

twins win, and for the time being are the wild card leaders.

 

for the time being they are tied with the red sox and white sox for the wild card.

[jacksonianmarch]

5.47 ERA for Hansen. Who said he was worth letting Petey go?

[noonanberg]

thank god for that lucky hop

[riverside sluggers]

hansen needs more seasoning in triple A

[RoyNHSox]

This is brutal. :thumbdown

[noonanberg]

no jacksonian, they are a half game ahead

[Buckeye]

I think I feel a baseball induced migraine coming on...

[RedSoxRooter]

... and the cross hairs slowly turn to Hansen.

[jsinger121]

Seanez up in the pen for the first time in weeks

[Buckeye]

Hansen, PLEASE get an out.
