7/2 @ Tampa Bay

[dowling25]

Ha ha well I like the idea of Buccholz coming up and one of them going to the pen. Maybe that could do something. I don't get how our bullpen can go from best to worst so fast. I think its the same guys. even lost Gagne.

[soxfan17881]

How Pena-Colada (that from the Rays booth) didn't score on that is a mystery.

[MANNYHOF24]

I cant take anymore of this.

[yeszir]

Dice K needs to learn to throw strikes and go deep into games. $102 million for a 5 inning pitcher is a ripoff.

 

I think its more coaches scared to let him go deep. The guy was a horse in Japan.

[CrespoBlows]

Go get Brian Fuentes, and any f***ing upgrade over Jason Varitek.

[The Dustball]

It may seem bad right now but have hope people, if we get hot and go on a nice win streak then the pain of these games will be severely lessened. Don't lose the faith, it's just one bad stretch. Happens to every team, we just have to get ourselves back on track.

Fuentes scares the s*** out of me. He seems like he'd just add to how unstable our bullpen is right now.

[soxfan17881]

Please, no lame "Gross" puns. I can't take that.

Yeah right, we suck ass.

They babied him and he came up lame anyway.

Do they really call him that? Ugh.

Well obviously. Once we go on a 5 game winning streak all these posters (myself included) will love the team again. But now? f*** 'em. f*** 'em hard.

Okajima, Papelbon, and Delcarmen were world beaters last year. Made it very easy for Francona.

You know I was contemplating that earlier in this game when they showed his pitch count. I'm sure the coaches tell him to attack the zone more yet he continues to dance on the corners and not force the zone. If thats what he wants to do then I say let him go to 150 pitches a game. If he kills his arm then...oh well.

I really wasnt making a pun there, it was purely coincidental. Haha.

[yeszir]

Well maybe they shouldn't have babied him them. I understand protecting your investment, but why change what was working?

 

Also, these commercials are KILLING me.

[soxfan17881]

Pitcher #6. Gross 9/16 with bases loaded career.

[yeszir]

Okajima' date=' Papelbon, and Delcarmen were world beaters last year. Made it very easy for Francona.[/quote']

 

Right. This isn't anyone's fault except the players'. Theo got us a great bullpen. It just isn't working right now.

[MANNYHOF24]

Big K. If we get out of this inning, we can still win this game.

Not if the deciding factor is "mood on talksox.com"

They are pitching way too much. The starters are waering these guys out. The starters have to hold up their end. In a 5 game cycle, how often do we get 7 or even 6 innings from the starter? You can't go to the pen for 3 or 4 innings every game.

[The Dustball]

Well obviously. Once we go on a 5 game winning streak all these posters (myself included) will love the team again. But now? f*** 'em. f*** 'em hard.

 

Just trying to be optimistic . Good job by Lopez. Just one more out to get.

 

EDIT: NEVER MIND

[Cocos Disciples]

Balls.

Piece of bitch

Jason Bartlett...wow

[jacksonianmarch]

just when you thought it was over...

[yeszir]

Who's gonna start the official "I f***ing hate Tampa Bay" thread?

[MANNYHOF24]

s***, bitch f***er

[a700hitter]

Game over. A nice six run inning from the bullpen. Good job!

[soxfan17881]

Well, you know...

[CrespoBlows]

Papelbon hasn't been used once in these collapses.

 

Oh well, at least he looks supercool in the bullpen. I can't wait until "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," plays again!!!! I love that song!!! Makes me think about the 9th inning, and when Papelbon is pitching in a 5-0 game!!! WAT NO WAT AN IDIOT HU USES CLOSERS IN SITUATIONS WEN THERE DOUN???
