4/12 Vs Rays

[chrisohio1978]

Rangers were 11-12 Phillies were 12-10 in April. We will see how it turns out.

 

thanks for the research knew they both came out slow and turned it on.

 

Good night and GO SOX!!!!!!!

 

Win tomo and we will be feeling better

We all thought the Guardians and the Rays would be punching bags, and we're in danger of being swept by both. There's no way to tell how the schedule is going to play out over the rest April, but things can only go up from here, right?

like last year,we lost to alot of teams through the year that were easy win teams

[Bobs My Uncle]

Why would anyone think the Rays would be punching bags or easy wins? We been kickin yer ass for 2 straight years now and working on our 3rd

[boy racer]

Lackey's numbers are fairly good against TB but the way he's pitching this year is a precursor to getting rocked tonight.

Don't look at me, I was one of the few people here able to see how retarded the theory was that we would automatically sweep you guys since we took 2 of 3 from New York.

Lot of games left. Good luck with that roster over the full 162.

probably not tonight. It's raining here and the weather suggests it wont let up until tomorrow

Get everything you have to say out right now because God knows you won't be here come mid-May when the Rays' season is already over.

We been hearing that same record the last 3 years

 

And we won the AL East 2 times in the last 3 years

 

Were injuried now, no doubt, but once Longoria comes back we'll right this ship- great thing is were winning games without him, and thats a good sign.

 

The Rays won the AL East last year.. get it? I was one of the few that actually liked or trades. We got rid of an overpriced one trick pony in Crawford and got a young stud LF that can actually hit the ball.. Hell, you guys should know- he rip you guys a new ass 2 nights in a row, not just hitting, but robbing you guys with his speed in LF. Sam Fuld grew up a Red Sox fan and its to bad you guys didnt trade for him. Ya just blew a bunch of money on Crawford who's on the downside of his career.

 

Lets look at some of the Rays moves

 

Carlos Pena sucks monkey balls- that stiff left more players on bags last year than anyone I've ever seen in my 20 years of watching baseball- yeah, he'll get a few homers, but when its the 9th inning and your down 2 with 2 outs and he's on deck- might as well leave the game or change the channel, because the games over, he'll ground out or pop up.. Carlos Pena's nothing more than an average DH.. And even thats a stretch- dude needs to retire

 

You guys know Dan Johnson right? He was the dude that cracked that homer at Fenway park with the AL East on the Line

 

DJ's been at bat 41 times, struckout 6 times, Pena? 27 times and goosed 10 times

 

Dan Johnson > Pena

Reid Brignac was our 2nd rd pick a couple years ago and pushed that stiff Bartlett right back to the Padres for a couple nice young prospects

 

Brignac >Bartlett

 

The only player I was disappointed to see go was Garza, but the way Sam Fuld has been playing, its the best move this franchise ever made.

 

Hellickson was a pick of ours and is ready to pay dividends and it was a great move to trade Garza to get Sam Fuld and avoid having to pay Crwaford that crazy ass money he was looking for.

 

We could use another solid closer, but other than that- This Rays team is young and they can compete with any team in the major leagues, and anybody that thinks you're gonna get an easy W looking at the schedule... riiiiight

 

The bottom line is that the Rays draft their future players, make trades on good young prospects and avoid signing big ticket FA's.

 

Hell, 2 years ago when the Rays won the AL and went to the World Series.. The Yankees had 2 players who made as much money as the entire Rays team...

 

What did the Beatles once say? "Cant buy me Gloves? wait.. wut?

[BornToRun]

You're gonna sit there and say Fuld and Johnson are better than Pena and Crawford? Please take your head and remove it from your ass

[Bobs My Uncle]

You're gonna sit there and say Fuld and Johnson are better than Pena and Crawford? Please take your head and remove it from your ass

 

For the price? Absoluetly, and they are playing better too

 

Crawford batting 1.52

Fuld is batting .313 - his last couple games he batting .345

 

 

142 million and 20 million a year for that crap he's putting on the field??

 

Has Crawford come through for the Sox? no, he hasnt.. has Fuld? Absoluelty

 

Right now, Fuld is kicking the s*** outta Crawfords ass

 

You can spin it anyway ya wanna dude, bottom line is yer owner dun did a stupid

[Wil Corderos Wife]

Since the first 11 games of the season are a true measure of a new signing's worth, you're absolutely right! What the bloody f*** was Theo thinking?!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao, this dumbass. You honestly think Fuld will be better than Crawford? For the time being yes, at the end of the season he'll be better than him. Troll along somewhere else.

 

Edit:How can you say our owner did a stupid move? You're going to base players on 11 games? Get real.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

wait a minute, since the Rays stopped sucking after an entire decade and became moderately good, did every backwoods, trailer park residing, idiotic floridian become a fan and thought it was a good idea to go around trolling others? f*** that. Go ahead and troll now, but come the end of the season don't say s*** when you're back at the bottom of the AL east like you were for 80% of your existence.

You guys been singing that same s*** for 4 years- and every year its the same old excuse-

 

You guys always blame your sorry ass team failure on someone else

 

BTW?..You're gonna bust on a young franchise like the Rays that went to the world Series in their 9th year as a franchise?

 

It took the Red Sox 70 years to win a World Series

 

The Rays won the Al East 2 years outta the last 3, and considered one of the hardest divisions in all of baseball

 

Anyway you slice sweetheart, Your Red Sox are the Rays beotches

4 years ago? Check who won the WS that year. Failure. I can't even take you seriously with s*** like "beotches". I don't care if it took us 100 years to win a WS we still did it. I hate using titles in any argument but since you want to go there compare ours to the Rays. How much? Troll harder. Who do we blame for our failures? Name the years too. Didn't even know the Rays had fans. At least 5% of them are real.

I find it funny that some of you here seem to think the Red Sox deserve some kinda respect because they been around since World War 1

 

Where do Red Sox get this arrogance from? It's not like ya won 1000 World Series like the Yankees or hell even the Dodgers got a couple.

 

I read your game threads, some of you still havent jumped off that bridge? Stomping feet, pouting and wishing player like Fuld should die in a fire because youre getting your ass kicked?

 

Stay classy Red Sox fans, stay classy

 

And by the way, just like some of you think you should just "drum" other teams, they feel the same way about the Red Sox

 

Nobody gives a s*** about the Red Sox, and they damn sure dont care if your older than dirt- And spare me the hardware crap mkay?

 

Hell even the Royals won the World Series

 

I can guarantee you this, by the time the Rays have been in the league 80 more yearslike the present day Red Sox? They wouldnt have been the picture for "Epic Fail"
