6/22 vs. San Diego

[a700hitter]

Not his fault for taking the big money. Contrary to popular belief on this site' date=' John Lackey is a capable ML starter who despite a rough start last year, pitched more like himself in the second half and this year I'm sure his wife having CANCER was a bit more of a priority than baseball. He was solid in all three starts prior to this one. Over the course of a season in which a guy makes upwards of 30 starts, there is going to be a few rough ones.[/quote']Please, stop the excuses. Do the job. Millions of us have sick family and we do a good job every day. There are heart surgeons, brain surgeons and air traffic controllers that have sick family members. They can't make mistakes, so I don't want to hear excuses for a guy that has to perform 35 times in the season who is being paid $15/year. Just stop!!

McDonald, Sutton, Varitek, Cameron.

for the love of god.

If you don't think that's the slightest bit understandable, I don't know what to tell you. He's been pitching to expectations since coming off the DL, save for this start.

[a700hitter]

Bowden (who is AAAA) gets two outs on 6 pitches. It's amazing that good things happen when you throw strikes to a lousy lineup.

Man the eff up!! If the emotional toll is too great, then take a leave of absence and stop robbing your employer's money. If I take family leave to care for a relative, I don't get paid. If I stay on the job, I am expected to do the job.

Hahaha, there goes the inning.

[d-money]

The lineup at the bottom is crap.I dont know how they come back.

[BornToRun]

He's been doing the job, except for this one start, since returning!

[SoxFanForsyth]

f*** you lackey. you can't even f***ing compete anymore.

 

And you too, Francona. For putting a line up with Cam, Sutton, and McDonald in it.

[d-money]

Lackey needed to pitch a solid game and all he did was crap his pants against a lousy f***ing team!!!

[a700hitter]

He's been doing the job' date=' except for this one start, since returning![/quote']His ERA is 7.36 and it is the last week of June. That says it all.

[Station 13]

Having McDonald, Sutton, Varitek and Cameron in the lineup is really brilliant Francona. Why don't you try something more innovative with Drew mix in there too? *******.

[d-money]

Maybe Francoma needs a new pair of glasses when writing up the lineup.

[a700hitter]

Hopefully, AGon can play the OF in the NL parks. Otherwise our lineup will be very very weak.

[iortiz]

5 2/3, 3 ER

6, 4 ER with 8 k's and the last 2 runs came on a HR when we were up by 11 in the 6th

8, 4 ER against one of the best offenses in the NL.

 

Seems pretty solid to me.

 

Stop kid, for a pitcher who is making 15 MUSD, you just can't take a timeframe like that, he's a 7 ERA pitcher, he's out of control, he's out of command, and he is hurting this team deep.

 

If he can't show a decent performance against the WORST offense of the majors, please tell against who?

[Cocos Disciples]

This field is completely unplayable right now. There are enormous puddles.

[a700hitter]

Rain out! Rain out!!!

[Cocos Disciples]

Wait so is there actually a chance this game gets completely scrapped? Or if they have to call it, would it be suspended for later?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Please, please PLEASE don't stop raining.

[d-money]

Is it an official game?I hope it freaking pours all day lol

[a700hitter]

The Sox can't keep a guy on the roster who is hitting .108. They just can't, and to bat him after Ortiz is insanity.

[SoxFanForsyth]

If they call it before 5 full innings have been played, it gets scrapped. If it's after 5, and it's not a tie game, it's considered a complete game. If it's after 5, and it's tied, they suspend play until later.

[iortiz]

if the rain goes worse, this could be ended or the BOT of the 5th must be played?.

[a700hitter]

Pour Pour Pour!!!!

[DwightFright]

Wouldn't it be great if there is a rainout? I wonder how long it can pour...I hope Tito is doing a raindance.

[Station 13]

I shut off the tv, what's going onn???

I see. Well, it may be a very cheap way to get a non-loss, but...

 

LET'S GO RAIN!!!!

It can't be any cheaper than Joe Maddon sending Sam Fuld to the mound, claiming he's hurt, and without even throwing a pitch pulling him and bringing in a guy from the bullpen, all in an attempt to get the guy from his pen a extra time to warm up.
