[schillingouttheks]

Since mtbykr can't make today's gamethread, I said I would...so here it is! Matsuzaka vs. Edwin Jackson? Sweep please. With Lackey going for the Angels, there's a good chance that the Halos could sweep the Yanks. Bring out the brooms. Go Sox...WIN!

I'm playing more Dave because I feel like it. I don't care what you say. I'm hooked on them.

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND MOJO!

[See Red]

We've got my "going to the game mojo" working for us, which has yet to fail them. Granted, last night was my first game...

 

Just win tonight, guys. I have a good feeling about what's going to happen tonight in Anaheim!

[ORS]

Are you in Tampa now, See Red? I work in Tampa, but live in Orlando (helluva commute). I won't be able to make a game until the Sep 21-23 series.

 

Oh, and I'm going to DMB Sep 12 at the Ford Ampitheater.

[rician blast]

considering dave and I share the same last name, save for a minor spelling difference, I'm diggin the DMB mojo....

Ocala. I'll be heading to Tampa in about an hour or so. Left way early for last night's game which ended up being a good thing because Interstate 275 was closed for some reason... when I drove by the entrance ramp after we detoured a bit, all I could see was a line of police cars with their lights on driving.

[VA Sox Fan]

GO RED SOX!!!!

[shortstop]

I'm in Tampa. The line of police cars you saw were from a policeman's funeral.

[See Red]

Oh alright, I was wondering what was going on. That's what I figured it was for but I wasn't sure. Made it kind of a hassle to get to the game but given the circumstances it's not a problem. Thank god for garmin, though -- that thing's a life saver.

[redsoxrules]

good chance here

 

bases loaded for lowell no outs

[redsoxrules]

texas is laying the lumber on baltimore 24-3

[redsoxrules]

f*** JD you suck

[redsoxrules]

1 f***ing run out of all that , pathetic

[joecable4219]

One run....

[SCM33]

f*** JD you suck

 

I hope he doesnt come back next year somehow....someway......god Theo, what were you thinking?

[redsoxrules]

is pedroia injured ?

[joecable4219]

Now 30-3 Texas over Baltimore. Dang. When was the last time a team scored thirty runs?

[redsoxrules]

holy s*** texas has scored 30 runs

[redsoxrules]

1 run in 4 inning against this suckbag dosent cut it

[riverside sluggers]

The offense is letting Edwin Jackson escape with just 1 run thus far despite giving up 6 baserunners. The biggest AB was by JD Drew. You have a guy that is struggling mightily... you swing at the first f***ing pitch, a slider that is down and in, breaking the bat on a pop up

 

Gabbard started the game tonight for Texas going 6 innings while giving up 3 runs

[SCM33]

Now 30-3 Texas over Baltimore. Dang. When was the last time a team scored thirty runs?

 

Never.

[redsoxrules]

Never.

 

Chicago Colts in 1897 scored 36 other than that no one has scored 30 runs

[VA Sox Fan]

is pedroia injured ?

 

 

He got hit by a pitch in the left elbow looked PAINFUL!

 

 

How about them O's??!!!????!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!

[redsoxrules]

runs please

[schillingouttheks]

Yeahhhh Papi. Come on Lowell, put it in the gap.

[ORS]

So, you know, like, f***ing score and s***. f***ers.

 

On another note, nice to see Dice brought the A game tonight.

[joecable4219]

Ugh

[schillingouttheks]

That sucks. Nice throw.

[redsoxrules]

for f*** sakes

[SCM33]

Good gamble, nice throw by Upton.
