8/4 at the Trop

[suns]

Called it 1st way back like in the 10th that longoria would get the GWH.

[MANNYHOF24]

I just don't get it.

[italstallianion]

I hate my f***** life. I said we were going to lose the f***** game since the 7th inning. And go figure, once again, against the f***** Rays, I was right. F*** my life.

[a700hitter]

Pitching to Longoria defies all logic. Maybe Tito wanted the game to end. I just don't know.

[Gom]

Goodnight all. See you late night. Work has been a bitch.

[suns]

Tito so wanted this game to end soon so just pitch longoria .

[a700hitter]

Stats would agree with you.

At least this time the stats were right.

[yankees228]

BALL GAME! LONGORIA RULES!!!!

 

Playoff berth...

[msubulldogs21]

I mean, really? Is there any scenario out there you don't take your chances with Zobrist or Aybar? I feel like that was pretty straightforward. I don't even know what to say after watching that.

 

Wow.

[TheKilo]

That's an absolutely brutal decision from Francona. Pitching to the Rays' best hitter after the pen was completely burnt tonight, first game of the biggest week of the season?

 

I'd love to hear Francona's rationale. That's simply brutal.

[rhet]

Tito sucks, Longoria sucks, Papi sucks.

He'll come up with righty on righty ********.

 

Who gives a s***?

 

Longoria's twice the hitter than anyone else in that lineup.

[yankees228]

<_ i made that comparison....>

 

 

f***.

 

Ah, I apologize. Didn't read any of the thread.

[a700hitter]

Saito should have just turned around and throw the ball over the wall.

[ms_sox]

Baseball sucks.

 

....and we'll all be back to suffer more tomorrow. See ya then!

[TedWilliams101]

Where are all the francona supporters now? A LOT of people have voiced their disdain for how terrible Francona often is at in-game management and just get called "ridiculous" or "yeah, he has 2 rings, blah blah". This one just might take the cake.

[msubulldogs21]

Where is Heidy to give us "Terry's Take"?

[TheKilo]

Oh f*** off NESN don't blame Bard for this.

 

This is on the offense and Tito.

[rhet]

He'll come up with righty on righty ********.

Longoria's twice the hitter than anyone else in that lineup.

 

He'd be nothing without the Red Sox grooving every fastball.

[Dipre]

Anyone who says Francona is not a terrible bullpen manager is a f***ing idiot.

[Spudboy]

Francoma is "old-timey".

 

So what?

 

Game.

[Dipre]

So what?

 

Game.

 

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[italstallianion]

I really do hate my life. This isn't fair. And the worst part is the exuberant gratification from pompous Yankee/Rays fans.

[rhet]

Choke job.

[ManRam]

Lots of Armchair coaches in here.

[Spudboy]

Where is Heidy to give us "Terry's Take"?

 

She's in an alcove with Veritek and Green.

[a700hitter]

Oh f*** off NESN don't blame Bard for this.

 

This is on the offense and Tito.

Bard was terrible in that inning. He looked like a scared rookie and he made a ridiculous fielding play. If the ball didn't get stuck in the wall, the run would have scored and the bullpen would have been spared lots of wear and tear and we would have lost less sleep.

[Dipre]

She's in an alcove with Veritek and Green.

 

Threesome?

[TheKilo]

I can't wait to hear Francona.

[suns]

Let's hope tito makes better decisions tomorrow.
