http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/images/logos/38x45/stl_38x45.gif #26 Kyle Lohse, RHP (8-2, 3.77)

 

Scouting Report:

Cardinals: Lohse keeps throwing strikes and pitching deep into games. Not coincidentally, he keeps winning. He's gone at least six innings in six out of seven starts, with the only exception being a rain-interrupted affair in Washington. Lohse has issued a total of six walks in those seven games. That combination will typically add up to some solid results, and what do you know, Lohse has won five straight starts.

 

Red Sox: After just missing his fifth win of the season in Cincinnati on Saturday when Jonathan Papelbon allowed a game-tying homer, Wakefield gets another chance to get over the .500 mark. Wakefield has thrown at least seven innings in each of his last starts, including last Saturday when he allowed just four hits and two solo home runs over seven, walking two and striking out six. He is 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA in five career starts against the Cardinals.

 

Wakefield goes 7 strong giving up a run on 4 hits.

There's an off day. The game is the 20th.

[Thumper]

There's an off day. The game is the 20th.

 

s***, I just jinxed the game then.

 

Okay then change it to the 20th and let's hope the sleeper sofa can help.

[msubulldogs21]

For the love of God, please let the Sox sweep (or at LEAST take 2 of 3) this series. I know 99% of yall never have to deal with them, but Cardinals fans SUCK. I hear it from them all season long living in Arkansas because I'm the lone Red Sox fan and they talk so much trash.

 

Just win baby.

Advantage Lohse as he hasn't faced many guys in our lineup. But hopefully his massive suck blows that for him and we out him by the third inning. The Cards just got man handled by the royals, I think we can deal with them

[The Dustball]

Nice little celebration for the Celtics there. Pierce has got a gun, who knew?

[The Dustball]

Huge break there. The bases should be empty with 2 outs and instead we have two on with no out. Time to capitalize. Let's go Youk!

[The Dustball]

1-0. Lugo with the sac fly. Will he ever hit another homerun again?

[ORS]

When does Lohse's honeymoon with BABIP end?

[The Dustball]

1-0. Lugo with the sac fly. Will he ever hit another homerun again?

 

Reverse mojo? I'll take credit for that Home run. Tie game.

[DrewDaGreat]

1-0. Lugo with the sac fly. Will he ever hit another homerun again?

 

yes.

[ORS]

f***, I hate the "Scrubs Kill Me" version of Wake.

[The Dustball]

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. God damn it. The ball was left high in the zone and Wakefield payed for it. We're going to need another late inning comeback.

[ORS]

The time to hesitate is through

His pitchcount shouldn't get much higher

Tito you know what to do

Good Wake this evening has expired

[ORS]

Oh joy, the Cards got the lead. Now we get to watch a new pitcher for each individual batter for the next three innings.

[ORS]

Holy throat constriction, Batman. Take advantage of this choker.

[redsoxrules]

sweet bases loaded for manny

[ORS]

Weaksauce.

 

He does that a lot with the bases jacked lately. I wonder if he's pressing like he appeared to be prior to #500.
