5/27 @ Twins.

[TheKilo]

a loss tonight and the sox will have lost 4 of 6.

 

Sputtering

[TheKilo]

Ortiz/Lowell/Kottaras against Nathan

 

get PSYCHED

[example1]

Not what I said

 

This effort tonight is pathetic, however

 

Having watched so many games over the past few years, I feel lie about 1/3 of their games are pretty pathetic efforts.

 

I agree that it's pathetic, but I just am not that bothered by it.

 

Again, thankful for long season.

[TheKilo]

It's been a pretty pathetic week though, starting with the Mets series.

[TheKilo]

So pathetic it hurts

It has been a week of meltdown innings with pretty solid baseball played in between. Tonight is probably the worst game overall.

 

Without Papelbon giving up the HR, the Sox take 2 of 3 from the Mets. I don't hold the whole team accountable for Papelbon blowing a save.

Soon to be a tie in the top spot in the ALE

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ah f*** it.

[Jasonbay44]

Another pathetic game...

[TheKilo]

1st day of many for the Yanks in 1st place.

 

Damn, Teixeira would look awful good right now, huh?

Tex just needed someone who could protect him. Without ARod, he was the focus of the offense and he was pitched around a lot. Now, he is getting pitches and he is not missing them. .280 15 homers after starting .180 with 5 homers early this month. Imagine a lineup of Ellsbury, Pedroia, Teixeira, Youkilis, Bay, Drew?

Protection is a myth

 

Other than that, can't argue

[jacksonianmarch]

I dont think it is, though. Tex was on pace for 125 walks prior to ARod's arrival. Now, he's seeing more pitches and he isnt missing.

 

Prior to ARod returning: 19BB in 25G

Since ARod came back: 8BB in 18G

Games like this could drive me to drink.

 

Will people be here for the game tomorrow or are most people working/at school?

[jacksonianmarch]

I'll be here, but I am on call, so I may be sporadic

That's the key - doesn't matter if ARod is in the lineup in front or behind him or what

[jacksonianmarch]

My point is that he's getting more pitches to hit whereas before, he was getting maybe one pitch an ab to swing at or he'd be walked

Well they still got Lars Anderson

[VA Sox Fan]

Working but will be here, listening on XM radio.

[TheKilo]

Well they still got Lars Anderson

 

Yeah the guy who was supposed to be a 20x All Star that's hitting .240 in AA
