August 9th @ Kansas City

[Goalstopper]

it looks like it's PAPELBON TIME<_>

[riverside sluggers]

Timlin needs to get in a groove' date=' we can't have question marks throughout the bullpen. Be nice to shorten the game a little, but Timlin and even Paps have struggled lately. Just gotta get them under control. The defense will be there, the offense will come back.[/quote']

 

I wouldnt say that Paps has struggled lately. Even after the game tying HR he served up in Tampa, it was still the first run he allowed since the All-Star Break

[a700hitter]

Jason Johnson is penciled in for a loss (don't think for a minute you'll ever see another outing like that from him again).

His career winning percentage indicates that he should have a game like that 3 out of every ten starts.

 

I want the East. If we can't finish ahead of the Yankees, then I don't see how this team will survive in the playoffs.

It would be a tremendous consolation to block the Yankees and their $230 million payroll from the playoffs.

Is it just me or are the Sox playing a 1 run game almost every night?

[Cityofchampions33]

I agree, beating out the Yanks fo a playoff spot would be fantastic, ultimate slap in the face to the,

Jason Johnson will be opposed by Daniel Cabrera (9.64 career ERA vs Boston), so its a toss-up

[Cocos Disciples]

We definitely need a brawl in the Yankees series.

they havent won a game by more than 1 run since July 25, so yea a couple of weeks now

[Cocos Disciples]

f***ing s***.

[Beckett95]

WOWW, JUST f***ING WOWWW

[schillingouttheks]

You've gotta be f***ing kidding me. German with a leadoff triple. Tying run 90 feet away.

 

SOMEONE WAKE UP THIS f***ING TEAM.

[a700hitter]

Papelbon gives up a triple to the first batter.:shock:

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

You guys own Baltimore. Didnt you guys knock Cabrera out of a game without him recording an out?

[jsinger121]

heartattack

Eh, our offense doesn't help the cause

[Beckett95]

Atleast Gathright cant hit for s***

[jsinger121]

with lopez back there i am scared of a pass ball

[a700hitter]

We need a K

[schillingouttheks]

Atleast Gathright cant hit for s***

And as you say this, watch him hit a walkoff homerun.

[Cocos Disciples]

K, pop up, grounder back to Paps/Lowell, please.

[a700hitter]

Blow this guy away!

I used to live in Boston. In fact I'm moving back to go to college @ BC. So I am quite found of Boston sports teams. I just wonder how you get the above comment? But, however, you do bring up some very good points. With the way we are playing I would say that it is do or die! It seems like at the beginnig of the year the Sox were having the same problem; clutch hitting and bullpen.

 

The backend of the bullpen has been great because of Papelbon. Timlin has struggled of late, but I'm not to worried about him. Delcarmen is having a decent season! But Tavarez and Seanz, give me a break! Have they ever been good? If the Sox get on fire I would watch out!!

 

Detroit is having a fantastic season and will run away with the central, but the Sox did do well against them this year, so that would be a good series

[Cocos Disciples]

Good AB by Gathright, this cannot end well. No extra innings puhlease.

[a700hitter]

If he throws a FB inside chest high, this guy will screw himself into the ground.

[Beckett95]

And as you say this, watch him hit a walkoff homerun.

hahaha, it wouldnt surprise with the way the Sox have played lately. Gathright hitting his first career HR as a walkoff of Jon Papelbon...

[jsinger121]

big K for paps

[Cocos Disciples]

Attaboy. Give credit where credit is due, good AB by Gathright, although it didn't end well. Didn't DeJesus get a walkoff hit vs. us last year?

[Beckett95]

DeJesus scares me

[Romine16]

One Down

No, no. That wasn't a shot at you. I was just saying in general, a fairweather Sox fan would have changed their jersey from a Yankees one to a Sox one. It wasn't meant to insult you. Sorry if you took it that way.
