August 12th @ Baltimore

[See Red]

Eh, if we completely implode from here on out then at least some changes would be in order...

[BoSox21]

this is the low point of the season

[BoSox21]

Gagne has annihilated our bullpen chemistry

[joecable4219]

Snyder can eat a dick too. Devastating.

Gagne has annihilated our bullpen chemistry

Why? Don't get me wrong, he's sucked, but he doesn't put himself into the game.

[mtbykr]

Has there ever been a more misleading ERA than Snyder's? Four game lead. Both losses in this series are credit to Francona.

 

I disagree, these are completely on gagne's shoulders....we should have swept the series!

[Thumper]

Of all people to do it, it's Millar, a fomer Sox. Eh good for him, bad for us.

[Gom]

This is the big series for you guys. You lose two out of three to the Devil Rays, you won't hold on to the division.

 

I love the Red Sox annual swoon in August.

that's true, but we did get him for these situations...you would think he could go 1 appearance without give up runs

[riverside sluggers]

D-Rays series coming up

 

Wakefield vs Shields

Lester vs Kazmir

Matsuzaka vs Sonnastine

 

2 out of 3 might be asking too much from this black hole of a team

Or, just maybe, the manager would see that he can't, and therefore doesn't put him into those spots. Gagne is what he is. Right now it's bad. If the manager is putting him into close games because his name is "Eric Gagne", then it's the manager's fault. Period.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Sometimes I wish I could be a bandwagoning, pink hatted, fairweather douchebag. This team is making me f***ing sick. I just wish I could stop watching them, but I still love the Red Sox and I still love baseball. God f***ing damn it.

Okajima hasnt been nearly as effective ever since Gagne came to town

[Rdsxmbnt]

No offense' date=' no manager. Good thing we still have Masterson.[/quote']

 

i know seriously Drew couldnt hit his way out of a paper bag right now, right?

[TheKilo]

Couple quick thoughts -

 

The inefficiency of this offense has finally caught up with them. The fact they couldn't push one more f***ing run across today proves that although the overall numbers are nice, this team's offense has been a black hole and could ultimately cost them the division.

 

Second, Manny Ramirez has been the biggest disappointment on this team this year. More than Julio Lugo, and more than JD Drew. The days of .300/30/120 are obviously over, but how many times has he killed rallies this year?

 

Gagne has been awful, but the two losses are on Francona. How the f*** does Gagne pitch the 8th the other day, and how the f*** does he bring him in mid-inning today? His pen management has really been spotty when the team is struggling and I really feel that's a huge contributor as to why they can't win close games. Why wasn't Papelbon used in the 10th? Retarded managing.

Singles hitter.

Its a very ironic thing. The Red Sox lead baseball in OBP... but are one of the worst teams hitting with runners in scoring position

[Rdsxmbnt]

theres no reason papelbon cant go two innings, absolutely none. unless hes hurt which he isnt then we need to stop babying him, he's probaly the best reliever on this team and he hardly ever gets used. And Francona just leaves snyder to get killed out there, im sick of his act, you dont take out your set-up man mid-inning.

[Gom]

Papelbon can't go two innings without blowing his shoulder out.

[yeszir]

It's ok guys, I'm back home, no more losing for the Red Sox.

[Gom]

Where were you yeszir?
