6/28 @ PHI

[SoxFanForsyth]

Beckett vs Lee. If Cam and D-Mac are in this game, I'll be handing out paper bags to puke in, and mason jars of moonshine to forget the night.

 

Just win.

[Palodios]

Cliff Lee is a lefty... that does not bode well. If Dar-fail and Topeka Bluehair star Mike Cameron are in the lineup, Tito is going to take hell from Talksox tonight.

They'll be in the lineup with those numbers off of Lee, brace yourselves.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Just don't put D-Mac behind Youk at least if you're going to put him in.

"No, Mike is after Kevin tonight. He's had success against him (1.333 OPS) so that's what we're going with" -- Tito.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This gamethread won't end on a good note. Cameron better somehow manage to hit the ball and produce.

[redsoxbeatz]

I heard Darnell and Cameron died in a freak accident this morning. They wont be in the lineup!

Don't even joke about that dude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll get peoples' hopes up.

[RedSox_Ruszkowski]

i wouldn't be suprised to see dmac or cam knock around a few hits tonight, of course with nobody on, and then die at the plate with risp, giving tito further reason to keep throwing them in the lineup and keep us bitching about them on this site..... more headaches to come....

[BigPapiEnFuego]

We're f***ed.

[BornToRun]

It'll be interesting to see how bad we're gonna beat them when we meet up again in October.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This is the matchup everyone predicted before the season for the WS. A little sneak preview of what's to come? Don't make us look bad Sox.

They'll f*** it up and not hit double digits in runs, a bunch of 8's and 9's. Just watch.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oh. My. God.

 

McDonald is hitting 5th, Varitek hitting 6th, Cameron hitting 7th, Scutaro 8th, Beckett 9th.

 

What the hell Francona. Seriously. What the hell.

 

This infuriates me. Absolutely infuriates me.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I almost don't want to watch this game anymore. I'll probably have my head in the toilet all night. f***ing retarded.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

Oh. My. God.

 

McDonald is hitting 5th, Varitek hitting 6th, Cameron hitting 7th, Scutaro 8th, Beckett 9th.

 

What the hell Francona. Seriously. What the hell.

 

This infuriates me. Absolutely infuriates me.

 

Where is the logic in this s***? Seriously Francona. This is unbelievable. It's pathetic.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Aw, s***. We show up against good teams so that's keeping me faithful right now.

[redsoxbeatz]

Where do you see line-ups?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Where do you see line-ups?

 

They announced it on the radio

[boston22407]

f*** YOU TITO!

[boston22407]

RED SOX (45-32)

Ellsbury CF

Pedroia 2B

Gonzalez 1B

Youkilis 3B

McDonald LF

Varitek C

Cameron RF

Scutaro SS

Beckett RHP (6-2, 1.86)

[redsoxbeatz]

Oh. My. God.

 

McDonald is hitting 5th, Varitek hitting 6th, Cameron hitting 7th, Scutaro 8th, Beckett 9th.

 

What the hell Francona. Seriously. What the hell.

 

This infuriates me. Absolutely infuriates me.

 

Game over. Phillies take first game.

 

I don't understand the logic. Is it b/c McD & Cameron are earning more $$ than Reddick so they should start more often? I just don't get it.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I cannot fathom what the f*** Francona is thinking. It's honestly as if he's trying to throw the game. It really is unbelievable.

[FredLynn]

Oh. My. God.

 

McDonald is hitting 5th, Varitek hitting 6th, Cameron hitting 7th, Scutaro 8th, Beckett 9th.

 

What the hell Francona. Seriously. What the hell.

 

This infuriates me. Absolutely infuriates me.

 

This is a joke, right? The lineups are already out? If this is not a joke then there is no reason to even show up for the game. Forfeit and don't risk injury.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Adrian Gonzalez's batting average is 24 points higher than our 5th hitters OPS.

 

Solid decisions, Francona. Well thought out. You think you're going to get killed worse by putting Gonzo in RF than you are by putting Mac in the 5th hole?!?

[boston22407]

Red Sox activated LHP Franklin Morales from the 15-day disabled list

Red Sox activated RHP Bobby Jenks from the 15-day disabled list.

[Palodios]

I cannot fathom what the f*** Francona is thinking. It's honestly as if he's trying to throw the game. It really is unbelievable.

 

Mcdonald has a .900 OPS against him, and Cameron has a 1.333 OPS against him, and they're both RHH. Francona is a complete f***ing moron, and someone should seriously go punch him in the balls, because this s*** is pathetic. It is going to take a CG SO from Beckett to win this game, because essentially, the Sox have only 2 hitters, since Youkilis and A-gon won't get a single pitch all night.

[redsoxrules]

f***... at least put Scutaro after Youk if you're gona put Mcdonald in the lineup
