BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (4-2, 3.94 ERA)

Schilling is 1-2 with a 4.40 ERA in six career games (four starts) against the Guardians. He is facing Cleveland for the first time this season. Last year, he gave up five runs on nine hits and struck out eight in 6 2/3 innings in an April 25 start at Jacobs Field, but had a no-decision in Boston's 8-6 win.

CLE: LHP Cliff Lee (2-1, 5.93 ERA)

Lee is coming off an 11-7 loss to Kansas City in which he gave up seven runs in the first two innings. He allowed a season-high eight runs in 4 1/3 innings in that loss to the Royals, his fifth start of the season. Lee is 2-1 with a 3.45 ERA in five career starts against Boston.

 

Ill leave the mojo up to the experts. All I have to say is Schilling...step the f*** up and pitch like you know you can, you son of a bitch.

I just looked through this seasons Gamethreads. The Sox have only lost three series all year: 2 of 3 to Texas, 2 of 3 to New York, and 2 of 2 to Toronto.

 

All three series' Gamethreads werent started by the same person. Everytime they are, we win the series.

[redsoxrules]

here we go, the 2 top teams in the AL. this is gonna be a real test , the Guardians are 17-4 at home , however I like our chance with the pitching match ups this series

 

EDIT : i just realized that the game is at fenway , so nevermind about the Guardians being 17-4 at home

Tonight could be ugly for Schill, but hopefully he can turn it around. I'm confident that our offense will and can handle Lee. Prediction: 7-3 Sox

[RedSoxRooter]

I can't wait to see the ovation for Trot. That's gonna rock.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hed damn well better get one. Hell, Im going to clap for him and he wont even hear me.

[riverside sluggers]

Not to step on any toes "Youk", but shouldnt it have been EvilDonut who makes the game thread today?

Ask the mojo experts, I dont know. I just havent done one yet this season, sooo.

[EvilDonut]

.....sniff

 

I was feeling a RSR-esque streak going, but at least i'm undefeated.

Ill delete this one and you can make it over again.

[EvilDonut]

No, i'm feeling lazy and out of ideas anyway, it's all ok.

[riverside sluggers]

Ortiz is out for a 2nd straight day, Wily Mo at DH. Its a combination of dehydration and his hammy giving him trouble. Returning tomorrow is possible

[EvilDonut]

Why Wily Mo wasn't the DH yesterday is beyond me.

[schillingouttheks]

Youk you son of a bitch! WHY DIDN'T YOU LET THE MOJO CONTINUE????

 

I kid. I guess if we win tonight EvilDonut can continue his streak tomorrow if he wants to. No big deal. The Sox are doing so well that they'll win anyway.

 

However, if they lose, I CALL DIBS ON TOMORROW

[TheKilo]

If they lose shouldn't it be ED who gets his shot?

[redsoxrules]

actually they'll have ramirez as DH and WMP in left

[schillingouttheks]

If they lose shouldn't it be ED who gets his shot?

 

Eh, it only continues if they pull out a win. The mojo is destroyed completely...

 

Or we could just say ED gets tomorrow, win or lose.

Haha it doesn't matter to me either way.

 

Pena goes yard tonight.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Why is WMP in left? Why not DH him and put Manny in left where he belongs?

 

GAHHH TITO what the hell.

[yeszir]

Watch yourself, buddy. Soon Ill have the power to ban people.

[Cocos Disciples]

Sizemore is gonna be one of the best players in baseball for a while. I really like this kid.

[TedWilliams101]

That was strike 3.

[Cocos Disciples]

2 down on 2 K for Schill. Aight.

[TedWilliams101]

Back to back strike outs. Nice nice.

[TedWilliams101]

And Schilling strikes out the sides. Thats a good way to start.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I want the Sox to take an early lead, that way not only will they have a better chance to win, but so Trot can hit a home run and be able to cheer him like hell.

[Cocos Disciples]

I am clapping in my head. Thanks Trot!

[TedWilliams101]

Trot got a hit! Nice. DP now. lol
