6/14 @ Tampa Bay

[Palodios]

Can we revisit my argument from the MLB realignment thread?

 

Why the f*** are there so many major league teams in friggen Florida?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Score some effing runs please.

 

Drew single, Scut single, Ells double, Pedey Sac Fly, Gonzo double, Youk HR.

 

Youk has got to make up for his s***** rally killing night.

[iortiz]

It seems we can't catch a break. The little bounce and everything.

 

I don't have the numbers, but I don't think the W-balance is favorable for Red Sox last 3 Ys, In fact, i would say that the Rays are one of the teams that struggles the RS the most lately. Unacceptable considering the differences in payrolls between each other.

Source: Red Sox plan to add Miller to rotation

A Major League source told the Globe tonight that the Red Sox are working on a plan to add Class AAA Pawtucket lefthander Andrew Miller to the rotation.

 

Miller has a clause in his minor-league contract that would allow him to declare free agency tomorrow if he is not promoted to the majors.

 

Miller has been one of the best pitchers in the International Leagues in recent weeks. In his last five starts, Miller has allowed seven earned runs over 30.1 innings with seven walks and 30 strikeouts.

 

Miller went 5.1 innings against Charlotte tonight, allowing one run on five hits with one walk and 10 strikeouts. He has a 2.47 earned run average this season.

 

According to the source, the Sox are planning to start Miller against the San Diego Padres next week and will create space in the rotation by shifting around the starts of John Lackey and Tim Wakefield. That would create essentially a six-man rotation.

 

The Red Sox have not commented on what their plans are for Miller. Speaking to reporters earlier today, manager Terry Francona praised Miller's performance and said he personally recruited him over the winter.

 

There is no word on when Miller would be added to the roster. But presumably the promise of being added to the rotation would keep him from exercising his out clause tomorrow.

 

Several teams in need of a starter, including the Yankees, have scouted Miller in recent weeks. Were he to opt-out, it's almost certain that he would be added to a major league roster.

For f*** sakes

cant catch a break

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright lets get some freaking runs here. We need an Ellsbury gap shot.

[boston22407]

 

they better find away to get him up here

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Shields is losing it, get his ass. Then get Howell out here so we can do more damage to his 10.50 ERA.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

f***, a little bit more power.

[boston22407]

f*** that looked good off the bat

[a700hitter]

Trade Miller to the Mets for Jose Reyes.

[redsoxrules]

f*** I hate Tampa

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lets go back to Canada and find the offense.

[SoxFanForsyth]

this is pathetic.

[iortiz]

And just like that we're 3 outs to L. Dammit.

[Palodios]

Really guys? Now they make us wait for the 3-run Ortiz walkoff.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I hate the fact that the little TB shitheads think they can compete.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

A-God, Youk, and Ortiz up to bat. Crawford somehow will manage to give the Sox the lead because he's Mr.Clutch. We'll give those clowns something to boo about.

[d-money]

Anyone knows Shields's record against this team?It seems like they never hit this guy.

[a700hitter]

Really guys? Now they make us wait for the 3-run Ortiz walkoff.

We're playing in Tampa. We can't win by walkoff.

[boston22407]

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

[SoxFanForsyth]

Youk s*** all over this team today.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hope he makes up for it in the 9th.

[Palodios]

We're playing in Tampa. We can't win by walkoff.

 

You know, I use this expression several times a week, and someone calls me out on it every time:lol:

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Here comes trouble. Come on hold them to 2, our offense isn't on tonight it's hard enough as it is to get 1.

[d-money]

Francona must be giving up on the game for putting this guy to come as a reliever.

[redsoxrules]

Bard should be in the game. Tito sucks.

 

its a 2 run game with a rested pen .

[SoxFanForsyth]

Earth to Francona. Are you there Francona?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Bitch bloop single. I don't want to say it's over but it might be. Oh well start another streak tomorrow if it ends tonight, Beckett is a nice way to start.
