Please win

[Spudboy]

So Pedroia is out with a sore knee?

 

That sucks.

[YeAuldBroade]

Good, Lowell in at 3rd and Beltre on the bench. Beltre needs a couple days off and Lowell needs some playing time.

 

..... I'm not feeling real good about Hall at 2nd.

[riverside sluggers]

In 105 career games at 2nd, Hall has made 19 fielding errors. Once Lowrie is healthy and playing solid ball at Triple A, a DFA is definitely in for Hall.

Last I heard from NESN, atleast 3 more weeks for Lowrie. The team has to get through this month with Hall off the bench.

Was Galarraga supposed to start? You guys get the B squad while we faced f***ing Porcello and Verlander.

Boo hoo.

[a700hitter]

Was it a strike?

Porcello has sucked ass this year.

Easy now. Porcello has been garbage until he shut the NYY down this past week.

At the same time Galarraga gets to face the B lineup

[jacksonianmarch]

Porcello has sucked ass this year.

 

he's about to go on a run. He was lights out vs NY

[Dipre]

16-4 GO/AO with 2 K's.

 

I'll have to see it to believe it.

[a700hitter]

Terrible fielding by Lackey.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Jesus Christ Lackey

[italstallianion]

Damn it. I had benched Johnny Damon.

[Dojji]

Analyzing this strike zone demands the proper tools.

Jesus Christ Lackey

Ace-like performance so far today?

[italstallianion]

Gotta love Johnny Damon's arm.

[a700hitter]

Gotta love Johnny Damon's arm.

Glad that I activated Van Every today.

Just wouldn't be typical a700 without at least one snide instigating comment.

[a700hitter]

Not instigating, but he looks pretty sucky today. Beckett-like, but no one ever wants to criticize him. I don't get it.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Beautiful

[italstallianion]

Nice Hermida. Not only getting a hit and an RBI, but making the pitcher throw a lot of pitches to do it. He showed that he can get hits even when there aren't 2 outs.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I bet Youk wants that swing back. Right down the pipe and he pops it up.

[jacksonianmarch]

You dont want Galarraga to come out of the game. This is the guy you want to face. The DET pen is good, this pitcher sucks

[italstallianion]

Damn it, now I'm even more pissed because it makes my defense of Lackey look bad, in addition to the fact that I should have started Damon. I really needed that SB.

[jacksonianmarch]

John Lackey, ace incognito

[a700hitter]

Damn it' date=' now I'm even more pissed because it makes my defense of Lackey look bad, in addition to the fact that I should have started Damon. I really needed that SB.[/quote']I told you that I am never wrong. Why fight it?
