Independence Day, 7/4 vs Tor

[Thunder]

Well, there is no sign of BPEF, so I guess I'll make it.

The Sox return home after a 5-4 interleague road trip that ended with a sweep of the Astros. They have won 4 in a row and sit at 49-34, one and a half games behind the Yankees. The Blue Jays come in losing two out of three to the Phillies, and sit at 41-44, 10.5 games out of first.

Pitchers: Brandon Morrow (4-4, 4.56) vs John Lackey (5-7, 6.81)

 

The Sox lead the season series 6-3. First pitch is at 1:35.

[Cocos Disciples]

Canada can't win on July 4. Make it 5 in a row.

John Lackey, tonight is your day. Just... please walk Bautista every time he comes up

[Thunder]

Why is he playing third anyway? He made the all star team for RF, not third.

Last time RedSox faced the BlueJays at Fenway Park on July 4th was 1977. Sox hit 8 homers: Lynn (2), Rice, Yaz, Scott (2), Hobson, Carbo.

Drew sucks

It doesn't matter Lackey is on the mound. He could have a 1-2-3 inning and he'd still get criticized.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

And that run was not his fault.

Seconded, I've always been on Lackey's side.

[BornToRun]

Good 1st inning from Lackey, run really wasn't his fault.

I know, I just wanted to make that clear. He's not really liked around here.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

1 run on an error not so bad. We did some pretty brutal things last time we faced the Jays lets get back to work.

I'm not going to bash on a guy that has a wife at home with cancer ,Not doing it

[BornToRun]

Don't forget that Morrow is our bitch.

That will happen when someone goes 5-7 with a 6.81 ERA.

[AtWork]

It's so nice to see a normal lineup again.

Yes it is!

[BornToRun]

Let's get the gang rape going early. I can't wait after a 9 game roadtrip.
