[schillingouttheks]

I made this just now because I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make one during the day before game time. So, here it is. Get the bats going a little earlier, and give Jon enough support to win the game. Thank you, come again. Go Sox...WIN!

If Shields is anything like he was against us last week, then you guys should roll.

If Shields is anything like he was against us last week' date=' then you guys should roll.[/quote']

 

He started out the season on fire, but since mid-June has been very inconsistent. Hopefully we can get to him early on and then pound that bullpen of theirs some more.

[ORS]

The pitches Youk and Papi fanned on didn't even start out looking like strikes. This guy got hammered for 10 runs last time out. Don't help him, fellas.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice 1st for Lester...throwing a lot of strikes...

 

Offense please

[ORS]

A hit!

 

Please continue.

[mar_022]

nice approach jd

[ORS]

Jesus, this ump's plate is about 3" wide on both sides. If he's consistent, that bodes well for Lester.

[ORS]

Tejader laces a 2-run double off the Texas Con Man. 2-0 O's.

[example1]

yes yes to the 2-0 O's lead.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice at bat Jason! Way to hang!

[mar_022]

what a f***in at bat

[ORS]

Great AB by Tek. He spoiled a bunch of pitches and made Panty Shields come to him.

[BoSox21]

thatta boy, Tek. textbook at bat there.

 

and 2-0 Os in the first, off Roger. OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, OF ALL THE DRAMATIC THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN...

[VA Sox Fan]

Tejader laces a 2-run double off the Texas Con Man. 2-0 O's.

 

 

Sweet I was hoping Millar would go long on ole Raja....way to be Tejader!!!!!

 

Excellent bunt Coco!!

[VA Sox Fan]

s***, I hope Cora is ok

[BoSox21]

beautiful bunt there, Sox doing all the small things right this inning

[ORS]

Do something big here, super genious.

 

That'll do.

 

Do something big here, Hoolio.

[VA Sox Fan]

Sheilds is in fine form early tonight.

[ORS]

On the ropes, and the Hebrew Hammer is up.

[BoSox21]

and he walks in a run, Shields is becoming unravelled

[ORS]

Bad chase there. Oh well, made him work a lot that inning, and made some noise with two outs.

[toledosoxfan]

Good inning there, props to Varitek for working some good pitches and getting a rally going. Keep it up guys!

[BoSox21]

still a disappointing inning to me, I was expecting Youk to lace a meatball for a bases clearing double
