August 21 vs New York

[redsoxrules]

Again, I am not saying the pitching has been good or anything close to it. My only point is that when we get a good starting pitching outing, we get no offensive support. When we get a bad outing, we get good offensive support. Why can't the pitching and hitting click at the same time? Wells pitched perhaps the best game a Red Sox starter has pitched all year, but the team does nothing to help him out.

 

i understand what your saying ,but pitching is the name of the game ,pitching wins everytime ,and this team lacks of it big time

[Pesky]

Come on. Lets score some runs. This is the first time in years it seems like that we have only allowed 2 runs after 8 innings. It is time for the offense to make its contribution today.

 

LETS GO!

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I was just thinking the same thing. The guy is a real pro and he can still pitch.

 

For another month....then we have to go get Jason Johnson again

[jsinger121]

If the Sox keep falling out of this thing what are the chances we can sneak Wells through waivers to trade him to the Mets who would love to have him and we could get a prospect in return.

[Optimist]

Damon takes over in center.

[He Hate Me]

Why do I get the feeling that even if we sweep, we gonna lose like 5 out of 6 after this? This series has been very draining on our pen

I think thats a great idea. I'm still hoping they can trade Mark Loretta as well. At this point just dismantle the team...bring up some more young guys....make it interesting to watch again.

Wily Mo says boolyah

[Cocos Disciples]

I called that HR by WMP. 2-1.

I guessing the cardinals need pitching also.

[rician blast]

right now the winning run is...gulp....a wild pitch.

[Cocos Disciples]

I wouldn't trade Boomer. We wouldn't get a top prospect for a 1 month rental.

[Optimist]

Okay, let's get that run (and then some) back

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Doesn't matter...there is still more money (even without Matsui and Sheffield) invested in the batting lineup than almost every team. They will win

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I wouldn't trade Boomer. We wouldn't get a top prospect for a 1 month rental.

 

Who said it needs to be a "top" prospect. David Wells does us no good...might as well get something while you can

[jsinger121]

I wouldn't trade Boomer. We wouldn't get a top prospect for a 1 month rental.

 

Whoever said anything about a top prospect. I said get a prospect in return whether its a mid to low level guy.

[Pesky]

Boomer isn't going anywhere soon. It is still August, and we do have almost 40 games left. If we fall double digets behind the Yankees, we should trade Lowell, Boomer and Loretta for some young talent, or bullpen help for next year.

[Cocos Disciples]

Farnsworth will pitch the 9th for New York. Cora-Crisp-Loretta.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

It looks like Fransworth will be in for the save.

[Rdsxmbnt]

this is it, if we get through this inning, we will have 3 outs to save the season

[He Hate Me]

Is Mo warming up?

[Cocos Disciples]

What a play by Cora!

[Pesky]

Is Mo warming up?

 

No.

 

If only someone could get on base next inning for you-know-who.

[Cocos Disciples]

Good sight to see Foulke get 5 in a row, he could be our new setup man.

 

All right boys, this is it. Last chance. Lose, and it is 6.5.

[Pesky]

Why couldn't this clown pitch last night in the 8th?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Crisp hearing some boos. Great slider by Fransy.

[Pesky]

Just throwing this out there. If we miss the playoffs, I think that it isn't going to be because of this series, but instead it will be because when the Yankees were struggling, and really playing bad ball, we didn't capitalize. They kept on trucking, even though it was hard at times, and we just kept chilling. We should've been up a lot more than we were before this whole debacle.

 

Ugh...

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Fransworth throwing nothing by strikes.

[Cocos Disciples]

We suck.

[Optimist]

The Yankees win! 5 game sweep! I'm speechless...
