I wonder what the money line is for the Sox today..probably -380... There is no way in hades Jon Lester loses today.. not a chance. If Lester throws strikes..I think we all know what is going to happen. He has been unhittable and Butler/Guillen better have a ton of bats tarred and ready...the cutter is coming! I hope he K's Dejesus a bunch..that little rat is annoying the hell out of me.

 

It would be nice to see our offense do something this series. Here is a little Portman Mo-Jo for them!

I was wrong... Red Sox are -305 today!

[a700hitter]

Sox are going with red shirts and white hats. I hate that. The team has a more than 100 year tradition. There is no need to resort to gimmicks. Leave that for the Royals and other expansion teams.

[a700hitter]

The Sox have Jon Lester on the mound looking to split the series. Here are the lineups:

 

RED SOX (28-23)

Scutaro SS

McDonald LF

Ortiz DH

Youkilis 1B

Beltre 3B

Drew RF

Varitek C

Hall 2B

Cameron CF

 

Pitching: LHP Jon Lester (5-2, 3.15).

 

ROYALS (21-29)

Bloomquist LF

Aviles 2B

DeJesus RF

Butler 1B

Guillen DH

Callaspo 3B

Pena C

Betancourt SS

Maier CF

 

Pitching: LHP Bruce Chen (1-0, 2.89).

 

Game time: 1:35 p.m.

 

The slumping Pedroia gets a rest.

[a700hitter]

No VMart either. This is a weak lineup with no Pedroia, VMart, or Ellsbury

[a700hitter]

Leadoff walk to Bloomquist. Ugghh!

[Palodios]

NICE TEK! That walk is already off the bases.

[Spudboy]

Tek nailed him!

[Spudboy]

Nice bunt by Darnell.

 

Sox have to score here!

[Palodios]

Youkilis has a .540 OBP in May. That is unreal.

[Spudboy]

f***!

 

A man on 3rd with one out and they can't score?

Pretty sure it's MLB-mandated to push sales for the 2010 patriotic hats

[Palodios]

Way to limit the damage Lester!

[a700hitter]

Enough with the walks. Three in three innings.

[yeszir]

I approve of the Portman mojo

[TedWilliams101]

This might be the weakest lineup we've sent out in YEARS.

[Palodios]

I dunno, last year was pretty bad at times. Green/Kottaras/Rocco/Kotsay while Lowell/Tek were hurting?

[Palodios]

Wow, Lester has really settled down. Somewhere around 60 pitches for the first three innings, and around 20 for the next two.

[Palodios]

What happened to Chen?

[Palodios]

What happened to Chen?

 

Oh, apparently they needed someone to fill in for a starter, so he was moved from the bullpen. 75 pitches was around the point where they decided to pull him.

[Spudboy]

I approve of the Portman mojo

 

So do I.

[Spudboy]

2nd and 3rd with no outs.

 

They can't f*** THIS up.

[TedWilliams101]

2nd and 3rd with no outs.

 

They can't f*** THIS up.

 

Watch 'em...

[TedWilliams101]

Well, a run. We need crooked numbers though, enough of these groudout RBIs, we need a big inning.

[Spudboy]

Ortiz!

 

4-1.

[a700hitter]

Boy that Ortiz is done. Bring up Nava!

[TedWilliams101]

ORTIZ!!!! Now THAT is a successful, crooked number inning.

[Palodios]

Jon Lester needs to protect his status as strikeout leader! 5 won't do it today!

[a700hitter]

Hall is mashing the ball today.

[a700hitter]

So is Cameron.
