9/13 vs Blue Jays - Game 1

[msubulldogs21]

Byrd vs Burnett

 

Win.

[msubulldogs21]

I can't get the game on Extra Innings due to the Fox blackout contract so gamecast is the only option.

 

Toronto up 1-0 in the 1st from a Vernon Wells RBI double.

[TheKilo]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Byrd gives us a 7 IP, 4 ER start.

[msubulldogs21]

LOL, where did you find that pic in your avatar?

[TheKilo]

Terrible, terrible AB by Ortiz.

[TheKilo]

Saw it on another board, stole it.

[The Dustball]

f***ing weak s*** right there. Two terrible ABs.

[TheKilo]

Can someone explain why Lowell is hitting 4th?

 

He should be hitting 7th.

[msubulldogs21]

Hard to believe there are TWENTY scheduled MLB games today/tonight. All those DH's. When was the last time there were this many games?

[msubulldogs21]

Runs are gonna be tough to come by facing Burnett today.

 

Onto the 3rd.

[TheKilo]

The key with Burnett is to make him work every inning, he's prone to a bad one and he isn't effective past 100 pitches.

[TheKilo]

Very pleased with Byrd thus far.

[msubulldogs21]

Byrd seems to be working quick.

 

Tek hit by pitch. Crisp up.

[Jasonbay44]

Come on Ortiz, 1st and 3rd, 2 out.

[riverside sluggers]

Heres hoping next year Ortiz has a solid bounce back season

[TheKilo]

I'll say it - Ortiz is never going to be the Ortiz from 2003-06 ever again.

[msubulldogs21]

2-0 Toronto now.

[German_Sox]

fuccing 2 out rbi

[L.A. Red Sox of Boston]

Neither will Lowell, Crisp, Varitek, Lugo, Timlin and Wake.

 

I'll say it - Ortiz is never going to be the Ortiz from 2003-06 ever again.

[TheKilo]

Terrible approach by the Sox hitters that inning.

[German_Sox]

i am a aj burnett fan he is auditioning for theo right now we could use him

[TheKilo]

Sigh.

[TheKilo]

f***. That's game.

[riverside sluggers]

Byrd gives up another homerun, Sox will already get that bullpen warming up. Thank god Lesters pitching tonight

[TheKilo]

Mike Mussina f***ing sucks, too.

 

Looks like it's the WC for us and a trip to Anaheim.

[L.A. Red Sox of Boston]

I thought Fatty was pitching tonight?

[TheKilo]

Byrd gives up another homerun' date=' Sox will already get that bullpen warming up. Thank god Lesters pitching tonight[/quote']

 

I thought Colon was...?

[L.A. Red Sox of Boston]

And of course, at the same time, the Rays put 2 on the board.

[riverside sluggers]

Neither will Lowell' date=' Crisp, Varitek, Lugo, Timlin and Wake.[/quote']

 

Timlin wont even be back next season, so that is actually a positive
