We've had a surge in incompetent' date=' impatient, and constantly-going-through-a-mindf*** members over the past year. It's truly amazing.[/quote']

 

Oh, you've noticed too?

[RedsoxFanInNYC]

Ugh pitch count getting up there come on Dice

[TedWilliams101]

I'm not saying were done. All I am saying is that Dice-k Doesn't look "on" tonight. He's been getting behind in a lot of counts and they are hitting him hard. I never said that he will get crushed and we'll lose... blah blah blah. Just made an obseravation on how he is pitching. Oh, and look at that, a 5 pitch walk. THAT is what I was talking about. This game HAS just started, but so far Dice-K hasn't looked good. Thats IT.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Thank you Cust, you big fat guy.

No. That's not what you said. You said Daisuke is getting outpitched by Lenny DiNardo when it's 1-0 in the 4th inning. That's a stupid statement.

[riverside sluggers]

The game hasnt just started, its the bottom of the 4th inning... and that was his first walk.

[TedWilliams101]

VERY Nice strike-em-out throw-em-out.

 

What do you guys make of the fact that Dice-K seems to miss the k-zone by feet so often?

[VA Sox Fan]

I've noticed. He's the self-proclaimed "biggest pessimist ever."

 

Oh, I missed that........figures......zzzzzzzz! He should be a Cubs fan...ha ha ha!

[MANNYHOF24]

Nice turn of events... there is one thing I have picked up on DiceK, he can't consistently throw his FB by major leauge hitters. To me that has been disapointing because we were all told that he can get up to 96-97 when he needs it. From what I have seen thats just not true. I have seen him max out at 94 MPH on the NESN radar gun this season.

[jacksonianmarch]

you guys didnt honestly think your offense would play this far over their average for good, right?

 

Lowell, Pedroia, Youks, and Ortiz are WAY over where they will end up in terms of average. Eventually, the sox will hit a slump and it will be up to the pitching to hold em for a little while (like it was early on).

He doesn't get it. Everyone else notices his incompetence, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

No, I didn't.

 

But, that's not why they're sucking tonight. They're sucking tonight because Lenny DiNardo is a soft-tossing lefty.

umm yes we realize that... we're talking about tonights game

[jacksonianmarch]

71 pitches through 4 for DiceK.

[MANNYHOF24]

No. That's not what you said. You said Daisuke is getting outpitched by Lenny DiNardo when it's 1-0 in the 4th inning. That's a stupid statement.

 

I would agree that its too early, but what is that wrong with pointing out that Dinardo is actually outing pitching DiceK so far. 4 innings is almost half a game, I see no problems with someone pointing out what has been true.

[riverside sluggers]

71 pitches through 4 for DiceK.

 

ok

71 pitches through 4 for DiceK.

 

 

And....???????

Wily Mo w/ some patience! NICE

You are forgetting that Manny has not gotten hot in terms of homeruns and RBIS yet, which he will because he his Manny and he seems locked in right now. Do you think Lugo is going to hit .224 and Drew .227, so I think it will average out, but it will be around the same as it is now.

[riverside sluggers]

I hate Coco Crisp

[Youk Of The Nation]

Excellent.

[riverside sluggers]

For a speedy guy he grounds into a lot of double plays

Eh, maybe it's just that I'm so accustomed to his constant exclamations of cusses and rising blood pressure whenever something goes wrong. I can't tell if what he's saying is in an overreactive tone or if he's being serious.

 

Anyway, our offense has to f***ing wake up. This is getting annoying.

 

You can attribute DiNardo pitching better than Matsuzaka to our asleep offense.

He forgets a lot MHOF24.

[RedsoxFanInNYC]

This is getting fustrating. Third time around a charm?

[riverside sluggers]

Hey Dice, dont sit down, you're wanted back out there

[VA Sox Fan]

I hate Coco Crisp

 

Don't be hatin' riverside......<_>

Manny is RED hot lately.

 

In terms of Lugo, he certainly could be a low .200s - mid .200s kind of guy. He only really had 1.5 solid seasons in TB. Drew's power drain is interesting, seeing as he had that shoulder issue.

[MANNYHOF24]

DiceK is going to be gone after the 5th, he is becoming increasing hard to watch, over the the last three starts.
