Can we call him "Mr. May and on" now?

No, Lester seems to really want to lose it.

[suns]

Who threw out the 1st pitch today?

[Spudboy]

He makes Varitek look like Johnny Bench.

 

I'd still like to see Suzuki playing for the Sox.

[Dipre]

Wonder how long 'till the "Hermida for DH!!!111!!!" posts start.

[Dipre]

Life from Ortiz. Good to see.

[CoachC.]

wow, just wow.

[BSN07]

It does seem to be a trend doesn't it?

I wouldn't be against it.

LOL He's a beast

 

 

Tough hop for Scutaro there... Looks like one of those days.

[CoachC.]

98 pitches through 4.1 IP ... ew

[bsox0407]

Lester not looking that great.

[CoachC.]

Lester not looking that great.

 

Bad game. Just got behind way too many hitters.

[bsox0407]

Atleast we have Lackey going tomorrow. It also doesn't help that we have only 4 hits.

[a700hitter]

It also hasn't helped that Francona pitched to Mauer 3 times with an open base. He's lucky that he got burned only twice. What a damn fool. This should be a 1 run game right now.

[Spudboy]

Great. 5-1

[Spudboy]

Where has the offense been today?

 

Was Pavano that good?

[yeszir]

wtf surprise 4 pm game

[Dipre]

My God V-Mart.

Arm-chair smartass manager.

[a700hitter]

VMart flashing the legs and the arm today, but not his fault. Francoma managed his team to certain defeat today. I guess the game was going a little "fast" for him today.

He avoids Mauer with the open base, it's a 3-2 ballgame at most.

It disappoints me to say this, but the guy that pitched in the playoffs last year, the guy that has pitched in spring training this year (not just numbers, I saw him in person, and he was fantastic), and the guy who has pitched the first two games of the season is the Carl Pavano that the Yankees thought they were signing.

 

They weren't crazy when they gave him in that contract. He has so much talent, but him and the Yankees were both incredibly unlucky. The Yankees very easily could have gotten performance like this for the duration of his contract. It's definitely disappointing.

wtf surprise 4 pm game

 

Not to those of us who check our Sox schedules on a regular basis

 

Off tomorrow, 1pm games Wed and Thur FYI.

[a700hitter]

He avoids Mauer with the open base' date=' it's a 3-2 ballgame at most.[/quote']It's just a bad move, and he did it three times. A good manager probably makes 3-5 games difference, at most. Francona could have kept this game close, giving it a chance to win, but he didn't.

[jacksonianmarch]

y228, Pavano had location and about nothing else. 90-91mph max, slider that was alright. 2 seamer that was alright. Nothing mind-blowing, just located well and benefited from a cold offense.

 

EDIT: Not saying the sox O came in cold, they just missed a lot of good pitches

[Emmz]

Or no shirt. That would work too.

 

:thumbdown

 

LMFAO

[Emmz]

Guys I'm going on Wednesday as far as I know but my friend has tickets for the entire series so who knows really. Probably Wednesday though, psyched though, who's pitching? It's hard to cheer against the Twins though... Maybe I'll cheer for Joe Mauer but still cheer for the Sox. Did I mention I was psyched?

[jacksonianmarch]

Good luck Emmz, enjoy the games. Hope Mauer doesnt let you down!

 

Oh, and the probables are...

 

Wed- Lackey vs Slowey

Thurs- Wakefield vs Liriano

[Emmz]

probably gunna see more runs scored on Thursday.....

 

But pitchers duels are fun too
