October 5th vs. Anaheim: ALDS Game 2

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Dice-K continues to suck

 

"maybe" he will be better next season

[riverside sluggers]

60 pitches, expect to see Lester or Tavarez really really soon

[a700hitter]

Get his ass out of there. This isn't the regular season. There is no luxury of letting him work out of one jam after another.

[ORS]

Dice kinda blows. It's been a whole season, and he still can't throw strikes. He's not far from serious bust territory.

[zackredsox]

Lugo sucks

[ORS]

Lugo and Crisp think it's April.

[riverside sluggers]

Pedroia too, 0 for 6 in his postseason debut. He's been hacking at the first pitches

[Moose]

It's safe to say TBS hired Jose Mota to kiss Angels ass.

[Thumper]

It's safe to say TBS hired Jose Mota to kiss Angels ass.

 

Thus why I was laughing when I saw him last night.

 

Everyone chill out. We're only a run down and it's early in the game. Give them some time. They'll pull it off.

[ORS]

I'm confident they can win. Just not confident Dice will get the decision or that they can rely on Crisp or Lugo to bring the bacon.

[ORS]

Wow, that graphic showing the pitch location is pretty telling. I like a patient hitter, but that's ridiculous. Swing the bat, Youk. You get called out on strikes so often because you fish too hard for walks.

Beckett's problem was poor pitch selection.

[ORS]

When Escobar is locating, he will put this team in his back pocket.

That's the truth. You've brought this up before, maybe about a month ago and since you did, I've really noticed it to be the case.

 

I like our chances to win this game... we're better equipped to win the high scoring game that the score so far indicates that it might become.

[zackredsox]

f*** that umpire. 2 of those were balls.

[See Red]

Swing the f***ing bat there, Lugo... he swung at balls three and four, yet looks at the one that's near the plate.

[zackredsox]

Lugo sucks

[a700hitter]

Not covering 1b was what lead to Steinbrenner calling Hideki Irabu a Fat Toad.

[a700hitter]

Dice K could have had an easy inning, but he makes the mental error of not covering the bag on a ball to the right side.

[a700hitter]

If Dice K continues to have to work so hard every start to get outs, he'll be toast by the end of his third year into the contract.

[zackredsox]

Lugo sucks

[RedSoxRooter]

OK. There you go. That's the answer as to why DiceK went tonight instead of Schilling. It's because we have tomorrow off and we can use the entire bullpen tonight. Then Schilling goes on Sun then Beckett on Monday. I get it now.

 

If we can win tonight using the bullpen, we got Schill and Beckett next to win us one game with major bullpen help on either Sunday or Monday but probably not both.

[ORS]

Time to be Manny, Manny.

[a700hitter]

OK. There you go. That's the answer as to why DiceK went tonight instead of Schilling. It's because we have tomorrow off and we can use the entire bullpen tonight. Then Schilling goes on Sun then Beckett on Monday. I get it now.

I think you are probably right.

[See Red]

Somebody buy that fan a beer.

[god is a redsox FAN]

YES!!!! THAT IS THE BEST REDSOX FAN ALIVE

[a700hitter]

Gotta love when a fan does the right thing.

[Thumper]

Tied up. Two on for Drew.

[zackredsox]

I want that fans autograph.

[soxfan17881]

Ok... Relax everyone. I'm here now.
