youve got good mojo, statboy. I started the Buchholz no-no game thread last year and you had the honor of Lester's

Statman, rhymes with "Batman." Not statboy.

[ORS]

And Scatman. I think Crunch has him on dvd too.

[TheKilo]

As if my ego needed to get any bigger.

 

Good luck Masterson, try to follow that performance.

Go Justin! GO RED SOX!!

[BoSox21]

f***ing Alex Gordon, breaking up Masterson's no-no

[das11209]

Good job Lugo - sacrifice fly to get Youk home.

[Beaneater]

In other news - Orioles just dropped 7 on the Yanks in the 1st inning. Only 1 run was earned -- thanks Jeter!

[The Dustball]

The Master looks good so far tonight. 55 pitches through 4 innings.

now 9-0 O's on the 2nd inning. only one run earned against the Yankees thanks to Jeter and Damon

Trust me when I say that I love what is happening to the Yankees, but it seems like people are more concerned with the Yankees getting blown out tonight than they are in the 2-0 game that we are engaged in right now. :dunno:

well, it has been a rather pedestrian Sox game and its always fun to see old favories like Moose, Jeter and Damon s*** the bed

[The Dustball]

Jeez. They give Meche an easy 8 pitch inning. (82 total) They need to work the counts and get into the bullpen.

[redsoxrules]

nevermind getting to the bulpen , they need to kick his ass for a few more runs .

[Beaneater]

And they've equaled last night's hit total. We were uncharacteristically efficient with our hits last night.

[BoSox21]

Meche is owning that outside corner

[Beaneater]

That's a whole lot of zeroes on the scoreboard.

[ksushi]

Last night and tonight has been wonderful for all the Theo supporters out there. Our farm system is strong, and I think our future is very very bright. The rest of the AL east was sweating bullets before Monday, now... lol. I am loving every last bit of this. I love Mastersons potential.

[Beaneater]

Didn't you guys say that Masterson got hammered his last couple of starts in the minors? I realize KC has no better than a AAAA offense, but it's still hard to see this guy getting owned by the Mechanicsburg Camshafts or whatever.

its always tough for a guy psychologically to finally reach the majors and then get sent back down

[redsoxrules]

another great start by masterson , now hopefully this time the pen can hold the lead for his first win

[CrespoBlows]

its always tough for a guy psychologically to finally reach the majors and then get sent back down

 

I guess he's just a big pussy.

 

I'd credit his bad stretch, to bad luck, rather than a psychological breakdown. His BABIP has gone way up, ever since he was optioned to AA.

 

With this start, and the start against the Angels, he deserves a promotion to AAA.

[das11209]

Offense has taken a vacation to celebrate Lester's no hitter.

 

let's hope this time the bull-pen does not let the kid down.

[BoSox21]

yay bullpen once again....

[redsoxrules]

the offense cant score 5+ runs every night
