August 8th @ Kansas City

[Buckeye]

BTW, has anyone noticed that Rudy has an ERA below 4?

 

No. With the way he's been pitching most of the season, it's tough to see the semi-positive numbers.

[Cocos Disciples]

Whoah, its the 8th? Jeez, shows how much I've been paying attention.

[riverside sluggers]

Oh yes, this is so exciting.

 

The way this team is playing there will be no pennant race in about a week.

 

4 games against the Royals.. the Red Sox have outscored them just 11-8

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

So if we lose this game and the Yankees lose there game....that actually works against us because both Minnesota and Chicago gain ground in the wildcard while we don't gain anything in the division.....

That's . . . depressing.

[Optimist]

Oh well, at least as it stands now, Papi is the go ahead run and he's coming up 3rd next inning :thumbsup:

 

Game over. Sox win.

[schillingouttheks]

4 games against the Royals.. the Red Sox have outscored them just 11-8

And if Ortiz wins it for us, and the score doesn't change, it will be another 1 run victory against the lowly Royals. It really is depressing and unsatisfying.

[god is a redsox FAN]

i was hoping for a 1-2-3 inning too

[riverside sluggers]

Lenny DiNardo....I forgot all about him.....he can start for us.....sort of

 

he's still on the DL with his neck injury

[schillingouttheks]

So if we lose this game and the Yankees lose there game....that actually works against us because both Minnesota and Chicago gain ground in the wildcard while we don't gain anything in the division.....

It works against us because we lose. We lose = working against us no matter how you spin it

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I don't know if you guys knew this but......Rudy Seanez sucks

[Cocos Disciples]

Whos the f*** tard doing the Daily Show?

[Cocos Disciples]

Oh wow Tavarez is better than Seanez? Why not use a good pitcher when we are losing, it helps us stay in the game.

[riverside sluggers]

Not only that it would be the 4th straight come from behind win and last time we had won a game by more than 1 run was on July 25. If the D-Rays & Royals are playing them like this, how does that bode for their stretch of mid August to early September?

no matter when we lose, that works against us.

 

Seriously, how can they play this bad agianst the Kansas City Royals

[jacksonianmarch]

You cannot take advantage of the Yankees and White Sox playing unless you win against teams like the RoyAAAls.

That was my next point. Needing 9th inning 3-run comebacks in games against the Royals and Guardians, and having abysmal showings against the Rays, is absolutely pathetic.

and use the bad pitchers when we are winning??

 

...good choice...bring in PAPELBON!!!

Better then Tavarez

O great, game over ladies, game over.

[ACL BoSox]

game ender just entered the game

[schillingouttheks]

Timlin would be better than Tavarez. Sure, he's been struggling, but at least he can do well. Tavarez is a s*** show waiting to happen. I've always wondered why Tito does this. We still have a chance to win and he brings in a mop up reliever. It's so disheartening.

What GOOD pitcher do you want to use?? Theyre whole bullpen sucks right now, except for Papelbon.

[Cocos Disciples]

...good choice...bring in PAPELBON!!!

Or Timlin? Why throw away the game by using s*** pitchers? Let's use Corky Miller.

[jacksonianmarch]

what do you think? Walks Sanders, gives up an inside the park HR to Teahan and punches him in the face at the plate?

[Cocos Disciples]

What GOOD pitcher do you want to use?? Theyre whole bullpen sucks right now, except for Papelbon.

 

Timlin is better than Tavarez, Delcarmen is better than Tavarez.

[BoSox34]

So much negativity...

Well, I should edit my post but I'll just say it here. Anyone would be better than Tavarez right now. If the whole bullpen is sucking, use the least sucking-est pitcher. It doesn't get worse than Tavarez.

[ACL BoSox]

So much negativity...

 

The bullpen doesn't foster much hope right now.

[god is a redsox FAN]

i would rather yank Lenny out of the DL right now, not caring how far a long he his and have him pitch. A 50% Lenny is better then a 100% Tavarez

I would have been better than Tavares and I cannot even lift my arm over my head.
