8/11 "Land of the rising sun II"

[The_Destroyah]

In order to get it down to 4, the sox would have to play out of this world baseball. Cause I think the yankees finish this month on a tear.

 

Home vs Toronto with Burnett on the hill

 

4 at Seattle, now without Washburn, who is our nemesis, Bedard is hurt, and we miss King Felix

 

3 at Oakland

 

then days off flanking the sox series in Boston with Joba, CC and Burnett lined up.

 

3 home vs Texas with Pettitte, Joba and Burnett slated, and we own Texas

 

The toughest series, IMO, is the CWS series, with 3 at home. Then we go on the road to Baltimore to end the month.

 

We should take tomorrow's game vs Toronto, take 3/4 vs Seattle, 2/3 vs Oakland, lets say we go 3-3 vs Boston and CWS, and take the Rangers series 2-1, thats 10-6. And with the way NY is playing, that may be conservative.

 

Regardless, the yankee team is packed with a bunch of second half stars. CC, Burnett, Pettitte, Tex, Cano, etc. It likely wont get too close unless the sox go on a ridiculous tear

 

that would be very nice, hopefully the type of tear that they make highlight reels for on sportscenter and then show before every boston playoff game.

Couldn't make it easy huh Pap?

[Spudboy]

I probably would have gone with Okajima rather than Papelbon in a 4 run game.

 

Meh.

 

If Paps has to throw less than 17-20 pitches then it is moot.

 

More than that, Oki is the choice.

 

We shall see.

[The_Destroyah]

Couldn't make it easy huh Pap?

 

with a 4 run lead? Pap doesnt pitch unless the game is on the line.

[Cocos Disciples]

We're down 5 in the loss column, so being down 4 in 3 weeks wouldn't take a miracle. Jacko's predictions could be, you know, wrong.

2nd-half stars?

 

Lol ok.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I wanted to make pasta tomorrow, but there's no shells or ziti around. Only that retarded penne stuff.

 

 

Bummer.

[Spudboy]

Really? I've had other people tell me often how I'm a bandwith-wasting macromaniac' date=' and nothing more.[/quote']

 

f***-em all.

 

You are a cool young man.

 

IMOH.

[The_Destroyah]

Pap strike this motherf***er out...

[The_Destroyah]

How drastically have Paps mechanics changed compared to last year?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Yeah 4 back at the end of the NYY/BOS series wouldn't be a mythic occurence. Basically gain a total of one game on them by the time the series rolls around, and take 2 out of 3 at Fenway.

[Dipre]

How drastically have Paps mechanics changed compared to last year?

 

It's not mechanics, it's pitch selection.

[Gom]

I'll issue a pre-emptive warning. If some kind of ludicrous fight breaks out in this thread' date=' whoever instigates it is getting a 3 day ban.[/quote']

 

Does that mean YOTN gets a ban since he fought with Porcello?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

f***-em all.

 

You are a cool young man.

 

IMOH.

This will get me through the rest of tonight.

[P3dro1a15]

WTF Pap

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ugh...at least my fantasy team gets a boost with that hr.

[TheKilo]

Curtis Granderson is the man

[Dojji]

Well, Granderson was going to hurt us at some point. Too good a hitter to shut down the entire series. This is relatively harmless as long as we get the last out.

[The_Destroyah]

It's not mechanics' date=' it's pitch selection.[/quote']

 

so him not throwing his splitter basically?thats all?

 

come on Pap!!!why cant you pitch in no pressure situations you f***ing ****!!!

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

MUST PAY PAPELBONNN

[Dipre]

so him not throwing his slider basically?thats all?

 

come on Pap!!!why cant you pitch in no pressure situations you f***ing ****!!!

 

The split.

 

He's only throwing fastballs, so everyone's sitting on them.

[P3dro1a15]

K his ass

[WhiskeyBreath]

VICTORY!

[Dojji]

Struck out Polanco. That's not easy.

[TheKilo]

Lahhhhmbert' date=' the sheepish lion, he SUCKS[/quote']

 

This made me laugh

[P3dro1a15]

Game over!!!

[The_Destroyah]

The split.

 

He's only throwing fastballs, so everyone's sitting on them.

 

yeah i knew it was splitter just got finished editing it, in case you cant tell im a bit dyslexic and scatter brained sometimes.

 

thank you sox for not f***ing that game up.

[Spudboy]

I wanted to make pasta tomorrow, but there's no shells or ziti around. Only that retarded penne stuff.

 

 

Bummer.

 

The shellls, ziti, and penne all have much the same characteristics. Unless you want to stuff something (manicotti), there is little difference.

 

Eat well.

 

Sox win!

 

7-5.

[Cocos Disciples]

So who closes tomorrow?

[jacksonianmarch]

It will be a challenge getting the lead down to 4 by September 1st' date=' but if they do,... watch out.[/quote']

 

Well, our end of the yr from Sept to the last series in Oct is brutal.

 

3 at LAA

1 home vs LAA

3 at Seattle

3 at TB

4 home vs TB with one being a DHer

2 at Bal

4 at Toronto

2 home vs Toronto

3 home vs Bal

3 home vs KC

3 home vs Boston

 

14 of 31 vs playoff contenders

6 vs Toronto who are no pushovers
