June 14th vs. Colorado

[Thumper]

I'm seeing 1978 all over again. Hot at first, get to June and now everything that went right for us is now going wrong, vice versa for the Yankees.

 

Come on just WIN!

[example1]

Oh, no doubt. But these games against weak NL teams are gimme wins. They can't be sucking these games away. The offense needs to find its life.

 

Josh Fogg should not have had as good of a night as he did last night.

 

f***. Stranded 2 runners. Seems to happen every inning.

 

I don't think they're gimme wins. I think they should be gimme 2 out of 3 wins. They were like 17-1 or something against the NL last year, which is simply absurd and cannot be expected. I think 12-6 would be a good record against the NL.

[Cocos Disciples]

Blargh.

[TedWilliams101]

Lowell should be in the 5 spot. He wouldn't have struck out...

Let's all just face the facts: the Yankees have a team that is capable of playing nearly .700 ball for the rest of the season. If they do that there are few leads that would be safe. Not much the Sox can do but worry about each and every game in front of them.

[Cocos Disciples]

Lowell should be in the 5 spot. He wouldn't have struck out...

 

Kevin Youkilis is the least of our worries right now.

[TedWilliams101]

I know, I just want Lowell protecting Manny SOOO bad. Lol.

[Thumper]

Even if Beckett loses tonight, he's been amazing all this year and it's only gonna be his first loss. God forbid.

 

He's REALLY improved since last season. Really matured, more relaxed, but focuses on the mound and unleashes some heat.

 

And another K!

[TedWilliams101]

And Mike Lowell gets a hit

[ORS]

LOL

Ortiz and Ramirez have combined for 2HR and 19 RBI over the past month. There is reason to believe this trend will not continue. Both are actually hitting the ball very well; perhaps they are not getting opportunities or are just not coming through.

 

They are still a decent offense when those guys are quiet, but when they are crushing the ball this offense can be really dangerous.

[TedWilliams101]

Already 3K for Frances. FIGURE OUT SOFT TOSSING LEFTIES ALREADY!

[TedWilliams101]

and now 2 pitcher spots up.

[TedWilliams101]

OMG, did I actually just see Crisp get on base! Amazing.

[Thumper]

Holy s*** Crisp didn't strike out.

[example1]

Man people around here are negative sometimes...

[TedWilliams101]

AHH. Thats the only way Lugo can get on base. Hehe. Time for Drew to destroy this inning.

 

On the real side, come on guys, lets get some runs.

[schillingouttheks]

And Lugo got on base!!

[example1]

I don't mind JD Drew being up right here.

[Thumper]

Drew... HIT the ball.

[Thumper]

Way to swing Drew!!! I'm so glad we have you on this team...

[example1]

Nice shot by drew, well-hit ball. Damn it.

[TedWilliams101]

OH Come on. Jesus Christ. JD actually hits the ball well and gets robbed. WTF.

[schillingouttheks]

Oh wow... Drew was f***ing robbed. Nice piece. Should have been 2 RBIs.

 

Come on Peds!

[Thumper]

Clutch.

[example1]

I start listening to the Buchholz start and he walks 3 in a row. I think I'll stop listening now.

[schillingouttheks]

SCORE SOME f***ING RUNS. GODDAMN IT.

 

This team is really irritating me. How many have we ALREADY stranded?

[Thumper]

Go Tito Go!

[example1]

Okay, I lied. I didn't stop listening.

 

One out in the sixth, bases loaded, 1 out, 7-3 (or something) Portland.

 

Buchholz just got his 12th strikeout. One away from a club record.

 

EDIT: Sorry for the innane comments, but the Big-Boy Red Sox aren't much to talk about right now.

[riverside sluggers]

Only positive is that Francis is up to 50 pitches in 2 innings... but still 5 stranded runners is very big
