10/5 vs. Angels: ALDS Game 3

[Dojji]

Someone send Jed Lowrie a wakeup call at third base -- he shoulda had that.

And the other 20%?

And the other 20%?

 

Lame joke attempt.

[CrespoBlows]

And the other 20%?

 

I knew you'd be the one to respond.

[Thumper]

NO! f***! GOD f***ING DAMMIT.

See this? This thing right here? It's called a "hit with RISP." This is that thing that if we had done it in SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES IN THIS GAME we would have won this game by now.

 

And they manufactured the run using a what? Say it with me now.

 

"Bunt."

 

Very good!

Ummmm. Congratulations?

Dude, they scored a run in the situation you called for a bunt.

Ortiz, youk and Bay? Not so fast.

[TheKilo]

My one real question is - are we screwed for the series now?

[Dojji]

Doesn't matter, I guess. The Angels just want this one more than we do.

[Dojji]

My one real question is - are we screwed for the series now?

 

It's possible. We have burnt through our entire bullpen.

 

On the other hand, we are at home. Lester could render the whole discussion academic tomorrow even if we can't come up with 2 in the next inning.

You're a walking cliche. I bet you wish we had more Dirt Dogs.

Still two games to finish this thing. So I don't think so.

Red Sox - 845 runs

 

Angels - 765 runs.

 

Still needed that lucky ass bleeder from Aybar.

You're a pathetic pantywaist. Seriously, it's pathetic.

[Dojji]

I'm a tired man who seems to be watching his team lose to principles you'd like to claim don't exist.

 

I'd dearly love to know exactly how you reached this level of denial. I could use it from time to time.

[Optimist]

The Angels just want this one more than we do.

 

Are you on crack? I'm honestly wondering what could make someone say that. Yes, the Boston ballplayers don't "want" this game enough...that must be it.

[MANNYHOF24]

Alright, lets do it. Walk off f***ing magic.

Stats prove time and time again how much the sac bunt hurts scoring opportunities. The Red Sox are one of the few times to accept this logic, and they have been in the top five in offense for the last six years.

 

Why do we want to try the other way?

 

BTW, the Angels bunted in a situtation that calls for a bunt. They are playing for one run. The bottom of the 5th, with your second best hitter is not a time to be bunting.

[Dojji]

Screw it, I don't have the energy anymore.

[MANNYHOF24]

We CAN still win this game. Its run one.

We've beaten this team ELEVEN f***ING TIMES IN A ROW.

Translation - I lost this argument, and want to take my ball and go home.

Go to bed then.

There are some cranky, sleep deprived folks posting here.

No, translation, it's 1AM and I'm practically asleep in my chair.

 

This is only an argument in the first place because you guys decided to make it one. The first post suggesting a bunt wasn't even my own.

[Thumper]

COME ON YOUUUUK!!! COME ON!!!!!

[jacksonianmarch]

I am sure Lester is faster than Ortiz
