August 19th vs. New York (AL)

[Dana Kiecker]

Jesus beckette... not only load the bases with a walk but start eye-f***in Joe West behind the plate.... ARGH

[redsoxrules]

its a good thing jeter bunted for an out ,cause if not there would be still no outs

[schillingouttheks]

@ A-Rod.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. He's always terrible in the first inning. I'll save it for later. Hopefully I won't need to say "f*** Josh Beckett" after his outing though.

[redsoxrules]

you can always count on E-rod for a DP

[a700hitter]

A big whew! Saved by the DP

[Pesky]

Honestly, A-rod is the man. I love him.

[MC Hammer]

Javy needs to realize that he doesn't have Maddux pitching to him in the early 90's. You're not gonna get a call that far outside .... please stop calling for it.

[RedSoxRooter]

nice hit ARod

[Pesky]

Beckett looks like Lester today. Does the home plate shrink when the Red Sox pitchers pitch? It just seems like they can't ever get the ball over it.

 

Lets get a quick lead. Randy...

[ksushi]

If Johnson is gonna throw 90mph fastballs, we better win this game.

[Sox fan in Tex]

C'mon, Loretta!

[Sox fan in Tex]

Damn, no runs in the first. Put Melky in center!

[RoyNHSox]

RJ throws 6 pitches and the inning is over. Way to make him work.

[redsoxrules]

and a 6 pitch inning for johnson ,nice <_>

[mtbykr]

Nice job guys, let's give RJ the easiest inning of his life:rolleyes:

 

 

by the way i missed pregame---is gonzo hurt????? why is he not playing much lately? I thought i saw him limping wed, but nothing ever came of it

[a700hitter]

Nice play by DFA on Cano

[Sox fan in Tex]

1-0, Yankees. s***.

[mtbykr]

Way to start good beckett------so much for being our stopper:blink:

[Sox fan in Tex]

I don't understand why Lopez catches Beckett if they have had trouble in the past.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Seanez was DFA'd? I did not realize that.

[redsoxrules]

10 strike and 20 balls nice pitching beck

[ORS]

Nuke really sucks.

[Sox fan in Tex]

I am starting to like Jon_Papelboner's idiotic idea of beaning Damon.

Beckett continuing to suck for us I see

[Pesky]

What a piece of s***.

 

Why Mirabelli isn't catching Beckett is mind boggling. Beckett had his best outing recently with Belli behind the plate. Javy isn't able to catch a headcase like this.

 

I could pitch better than this guy if I had his stuff.

[a700hitter]

Memo to the FO: You really messed up the Damon thing. Someone should be fired.

[MC Hammer]

Memo to the FO: You really messed up the Damon thing. Someone should be fired.

Memo to a700hitter: PLEASE stop crying about Damon. I'm tired of hearing it. Thank you.

Its easily forgotten that Belli also caught his start vs Chicago, allowing 5 runs (3 HRs)

[a700hitter]

Memo to the FO: You really messed up by not agreeing to pick up all of Abreu's salary.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Jeter's no MVP. Simmer down, FOX.
