[Palodios]

Lester is back to form. Just 1 ER in his last 3 starts, averaging just under 7 IP per game. Its about time for him to prove that he, not Beckett, is the team's ace.

he's still throwing too many pitches. They'll try to work the count on him to get him out of the game by the 5th inning and go to work on the pigs in our pen.

Day 8: created baseball.

[Dipre]

You have to be kidding..how don't you like joe morgan?

 

Nobody seems to like Joe Morgan.

 

Oh, and that's the 16th looking K delivered by Lester.

[Northern Star]

PLUNK HIM

[Dipre]

Excellent inning for Lester. Please don't pull a Beckett.

[italstallianion]

There are a lot of people I'd like to plunk now, but we should wait until the game is out of hand before we start inserting 95 mph fastballs into Yankee earholes.

[Dipre]

Marco Scutaro: Another ill conceived signing by the FO!!!! All he does is get on base and play sound D!!!!!! He sucks!!!!!

[VA Sox Fan]

chances of another tasing?

 

Nah...he's too conservative.
