August 22nd @ Tampa Bay

[Rdsxmbnt]

nice lugo!

[TheKilo]

Wish Pedroia was up right now.

[riverside sluggers]

12 men left on base through 8

 

Sox will have to try for another comeback against Reyes... Youkilis, Ortiz, Lowell, Drew if anyone gets on. Maybe Tito would be willing to pinch hit Manny for Drew

[Rdsxmbnt]

cora is terrible

[inkman]

that was a bad at bat

[TheKilo]

Youkilis severely needs a day off.

[riverside sluggers]

Youkilis pops up on the 1st pitch

[ACL BoSox]

that's back to back scoreless appearences by gagne, now we gotta work on him getting a 1-2-3 inning...

[TheKilo]

...and it begins.

[TheKilo]

He totally trapped that.

[riverside sluggers]

That was a hit

 

Drew naturally swings at the first pitch.That stolen hit from Lowell looks even bigger now as Drew gets a base hit of how own

 

Varitek has been 0 for 4, leaving 6 men on base tonight.... can he come through

[ACL BoSox]

stircking with drew... meh, not like Manny has done much better in this situation...

[CrespoBlows]

Probably wouldn't have mattered. Ortiz was out at second.

[ACL BoSox]

please no hat trick varitek, we could use a base hit...

[TheKilo]

Manny should be pinch hitting here.

[Rdsxmbnt]

pathetic loss, dicek ought to be pissed at these guys

[TheKilo]

How does Manny not pinch hit there?

[riverside sluggers]

1 pitch out, my biggest pet peeve

 

Varitek was the dog of this lineup, leaving 8 men on base in a 1 run game. Yuck

[ACL BoSox]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

 

go angels

[TheKilo]

1 pitch out, my biggest pet peeve

 

Varitek was the dog of this lineup, leaving 8 men on base in a 1 run game. Yuck

 

Varitek's looked toasty for a while now.

 

How does Francona not PH Manny? Awful managing.

[riverside sluggers]

White Sox series

 

Beckett vs Danks

Schilling vs Garland

Wakefield vs Buehrle

Lester vs Vazquez

[TheKilo]

White Sox series

 

Beckett vs Danks

Schilling vs Garland

Wakefield vs Buehrle

Lester vs Vazquez

 

Is 3-1 too optimistic?

[schillingouttheks]

I would expect the same as you.

how many times has that been said this season

[Rdsxmbnt]

how many times has that been said this season

 

idk seems like I say it a lot.

 

Here is some starts where he gets no support:

 

Tonight, 6 IP, 2 runs, loss

7/29 vs. Tampa, 6.1 IP, 2 runs, loss

7/19 vs. CWS 5 IP, 3 runs, loss

6/27 vs. SEA 8 IP, 1 run, loss

6/10 vs. ARZ 6 IP, 2 runs, loss

6/5 vs. OAK 7 IP, 2 runs, loss

4/17 vs. TOR 6 IP, 2 runs, loss

4/11 vs. SEA 7 IP 3 runs, loss

 

Those are not games where the Red Sox team just lost, those are all games where DiceK got the loss, that's unbelievable

[Mr Crunchy]

lack of run support is 1 thing

leaving 5 guys on 3rd base with less than 2 out is another

sending papi was f***ing stupid with less than 2 out as well

manny sitting on the pine in a 1 run game is also idiotic

 

that said

we gained a game over ny and 3 more games have been played on the schedule

our man eric gagne pitched pretty well last night too

 

sure it sucks but if we're focused on winning the division then taking 2/3 on the road,even against tampa,is a good thing my friends

[Cocos Disciples]

Ugh. Have we faced Jackson before this game? If not, that explains it. Doesn't make it any better though. Gotta support the 2 aces.

yes in 4 games (1 start) before this one. Earlier this year the Sox had roughed him up, scoring 7 runs in the process
