7/27 vs. Kansas City

[SoxFanForsyth]

Nice 1-2 pitch right down the dick

[TedWilliams101]

Come on Lackey. Enough with the suck, get out of this damned inning already. I thought JD Drew would go down as the worst contract in RS history, but Lackey is on pace to shatter that. Way too much dead money lately.

[iortiz]

Lackey, really?

[Dojji]

Cam you imagine this lineup in a couple years when Moustakas is going, they've replaced Getz with Johnny Giavotella and one of their outfielders maybe with Lorenzo Cain?

 

This Royals team is heading in the right direction if they can get their pitching staff in order. unfortunately at the moment that's a rather sizeable "if."

That's lacking a hell of a lot of historical context.

[AtWork]

Nice catch by our barely adequate ineffective catcher.

[AtWork]

Francona should get a standing ovation.

#RedSox have 10 hits for the 11th straight home game. It's the longest such streak since 1950

In 2008, the Red Sox scored 10+ runs 15 times. In 2010, they scored 10+ runs 14 times. They've scored 10+ 16 times already this year.

[Dojji]

Oh for...

 

Get some better cleats, Pedey.

[Dojji]

Hands up anyone who's officially sick of Randy Williams.

 

*hand*

[Jasonbay44]

DFA Randy Williams. He is basically a poor mans John Lackey.

[mvp 78]

If Randy is only on the team because he's a LHP, the Sox should just go without. A straight 95 mph FB and nothing else. Next...

Francona doesn't know what a "lefty specialist" is. He'll let the "lefty specialist" stay in and face 2 lefties and 5 righties. And get torched.

When you're up by 7, it's ok to leave someone in for a few batters.

[Dojji]

I hate the idea of a lefty specialist. I wouldn't pay a guy who can only get one out.

[mvp 78]

More Randy!

[AtWork]

More Randy!

 

Might as well burn out his arm before we DFA him.

[mvp 78]

Maybe they want to get his ERA below 8?

[AtWork]

Maybe they want to get his ERA below 8?

 

That way they can dangle him for a bag of balls when they put him through waivers.

[AtWork]

There's power from Gonzalez for you. Fenway prevented that one from being a home run but he drives in his 87th RBI regardless.

[iortiz]

A-God is a RBI machine

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Royals - 14 hits 5 runs

Red Sox - 16 his 12 runs

[BornToRun]

How was Lackey tonight?

[Dojji]

Less terrible than he looked. ALmost managed a quality start actually.

[BornToRun]

Glad to hear it, he's been pretty good since getting destroyed by Toronto. And KC's lineup is actually pretty good.

[SoxFanForsyth]

2 outs from 3 up!!

[Dojji]

indeed, and it's getting better. They have prospects waiting to come up and fill most of their holes.

 

Their lineup is competent and their bullpen isn't bad between Collins, Crow and Soria. If they could figure out the rotation, they'd be scary.

It'll be fun for their fans to see it all come together, they've been building that team for a very long time now and they are on the verge of competing.

[BornToRun]

Props to Wheeler, guy's been a badass since coming back from his injury.

[TedWilliams101]

Wow. I don't want to see Navaro playing ANY position again. He's almost as bad as watching WMP out there!
