May 1st vs Oakland

[BoSox21]

guess what. Hughes just pulled a hammy. No no over.

 

 

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

he got Hansacked

[riverside sluggers]

Lets see what the 3-4-5 can do against the lights out closer Huston Street. Against Boston he has thrown 8.2 scoreless innings, allowing just 3 Hits

[southpaw]

No hitter still going, but Mike Myers has replaced Hughes

[Cocos Disciples]

Heeeere we go Papi Manny Youk.

[Cocos Disciples]

That ball was crushed. Annihilated.

 

EDIT: But foul.

[Cocos Disciples]

1 down.

[Cocos Disciples]

2 down.

f***

[BoSox21]

1 out away from crying myself to sleep

[schillingouttheks]

C'mon YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!

[example1]

No big deal. YOu win some, you lose some.

 

Street is dealing right now and the Sox are guessing.

[example1]

Another un-powerful shot by Youkilis. Work on those back and forearm muscles there Youk. C'mon.

[TedWilliams101]

I thought that was gone. f***. f***. f***.

[Cocos Disciples]

What a disappointing game to lose. Seemed like we had it in the bag. That sucks.

 

16-9. Despite Yankee fan's beliefs, we are still in 1st. Sorry.

[BoSox21]

FUUUUUUUUUUCK I thought that was gone

[yeszir]

You can't win em all. :dunno:

[BoSox21]

this is a very tough one to lose

 

im very interested to see how the team comes out tomorrow

[schillingouttheks]

It's chill. It sucks to lose like that, but Papelbon will blow some and we'll have some tough losses...this being one of them. At the end of the day the Sox are still in first (I know it's May...) and we'll come back with Beckett tomorrow. Papelbon will be more intense than ever next time out, bank it. :papelbon:

[riverside sluggers]

Thought that was almost out. Still a lot of games left, unfortunately Paps didnt have his best stuff tonight. He better not be back out there tomorrow

 

Still a lot of games left, there will be games like these. No hope is lost whatsoever

I would certainly hope not. No one better be ready to throw into the towel after tonight...not even remotely close.

I beg to differ. If Paps gets out there tomorrow, guaranteed 3 strikeouts on 9 pitches.

[Cocos Disciples]

I'm going tomorrow. Beckett vs. Gaudin. Seems like a matchup we should win. Not to mention we're pissed.

[BoSox21]

I dont think anyone is ready to throw in the towel with a 16-9 record but a win is always better than a loss

 

maybe it gives the team a bit of a reality check

[riverside sluggers]

Paps at 34 pitches, should he really be sent out tomorrow?

[Beckett95]

Paps at 34 pitches' date=' should he really be sent out tomorrow?[/quote']

 

nope, and we shouldnt need him tomorow with Beckett pitching agianst Gaudin

 

and even if there is a save situation,Okajima can handle it

[schillingouttheks]

The good thing to take away from this game is how perfectly we set it up for Paps.

 

2 run lead going into the 8th inning coming off of 7 strong from Schilling. Jima pitches a 1-2-3 inning (again!) and Paps comes in for the 9th. He does what every closer does at some points and blows the game. We for sure won't see that nearly as much as we see him blow batters away, so I'm not concerned. A win is always better, but at the end of today things are still fine. It's May 1st. No need to s*** pants over our lead in the standings quite yet (though we really do need to bury the Yankees as much as possible right now).

[jacksonianmarch]

that one had to hurt. Kinda like watching our phenom throwing a no-no only to be removed due to injury.

[schillingouttheks]

It's kind of weird that of all teams, the weak-hitting A's make Mo and Paps blow saves.

 

Although, it's not impossible to get to Mo anymore...at least for right now.

[jacksonianmarch]

for now is the operative phrase.

[schillingouttheks]

for now is the operative phrase.

 

I know. I finished the post without that last phrase and then I was like "oh s***, I should add this." And so I added it.

 

But the bottom line is, for THIS YEAR, I'd rather have Papelbon than Rivera.
