July 8th @ Detroit

This team is f***ing lifeless.

[zackredsox]

another called strikeout for pena

[riverside sluggers]

just look at all their faces, they are tired and cant wait to go home

[BoSox34]

They're up by 11 games because the Yankees and Blue Jays suck. Not because they've been a first place team. Are you watching the same team I'm watching? The team that I'm watching would have the floor mopped with them if the playoffs were to start tomorrow. They'd be embarrassed and laughed at. The AL East this year is quite possibly the worst division in baseball.

 

...they have the best record and winning percentage in baseball. Every team has its weak spots and slumps and they're going through a slump right now but don't forget that we still have 15 games against the Devil Rays, not to mention many matchups against teams like the Royals, Orioles, and Blue Jays.

This team is f***ing lifeless.

Not lifeless. It's batless. The FO needs to get a bat. Drew is the vagina that we heard about. He's not a big time bat, regqardless of what his stats show. No pitcher in his right mind would throw to Manny or Ortiz with Drew behind them. Drew should be moved with his OBP to the first or second slot in the order.

And therein lies my problem. Look, if they were playing good baseball and kept getting edged out by teams that are just plain better than them...fine. But I have a problem where they don't play to win. They're not giving everything they have, and they just don't care right now. They're letting their fans down. Those same fans that pay the highest ticket prices in baseball to see them go all out and win games. And this is how they re-pay us? BOOOOOO. They're a third place team right now. If they make the playoffs playing like this, they backed into it.

[BoSox34]

And where did I say if they lose another series?

 

If they so much as lose one of those series' date=' they should be boo'd off the field.[/quote']

We know how well that turned out.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Konerko available?

This has been a month-and-a-half-long slump. They're lifeless. If the Tigers, Guardians, Angels, hell maybe even the Mariners were in our division, we'd be in second place.

[schillingouttheks]

BoSox...read it again. Your comprehension s*** the bed right there. If they lose another series OUT OF TORONTO, KC, OR CHICAGO AT HOME (the first 3 series after the break), they deserve to be booed off the field. I don't know about you, but it doesn't look like I said any series for the rest of the year. Please don't attempt to put words in my mouth.

[zackredsox]

nice job rookie

[schillingouttheks]

Holy f***. Jeff Bailey. Nice hit.

 

NOW SCORE SOME RUNS YOU f***ERS.

[riverside sluggers]

Damn alright Bailey! First major league hit is a homerun

[KeepTheFaith1229]

BAILEY!

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice inning from Timlin!

 

Atta boy Jeff Bailey.....first big league hit and it's a HR!!!!!!!

[BoSox34]

Kansas City recently took 2 of 3 in a series against the Mariners.

Kansas City recently swept The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim then the Angels went on to lose 2 of 3 against the Rangers.

Detroit recently lost back to back series against Texas and then Minnesota.

Cleveland recently lost a series to the Washington Nationals and then later found themselves in a different 3 game losing streak.

 

THE BOSTON RED SOX ARE THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL RIGHT NOW ON PAPER AND IN THE STANDINGS.

 

Everytime goes through ups and downs.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

AND WE HAVE LIFE! BACK TO BACK!

[zackredsox]

holy s*** 8th and 9th hitters homer

[schillingouttheks]

LUGO! HOLY f***!

 

We got a ballgame ladies and gentlemen.

[TedWilliams101]

I didn't see that coming!

[riverside sluggers]

Holy f***??! Its Jeff Bailey and Julio Lugo going back to back?

[a700hitter]

I told you that Robertson looked like s***. Back to back by Bailey (1978 flashbacks) and Lugo. How unlikely.

[BoSox34]

I knew exactly what you were saying the first time and the words "another series" applys to those 3 matchups.

I'm not going to debate this. The Red Sox have been no better than the Tigers, Guardians, Mariners, or Angels recently. No better.

 

Care to refute the point that 700 made? The one where he said that we have the identical record as last year at this point in the season?

[schillingouttheks]

I knew exactly what you were saying the first time and the words "another series" applys to those 3 matchups.

 

I meant those three matchups at home. Strictly those. Those 11 games. They need to take at least 6 of 9. That's what I meant. I don't really think you could take it any other way.

[a700hitter]

What is Leyland waiting for? His pitching staff has 3 days off. I guess he fell asleep.

PITCHING. PITCHING. PITCHING. The difference between last year's team and this year's team...end of discussion.
