Another good pitching duel is coming. Prepare yourself!

My bad, wishful thinking

 

On a bright note, if we win tonight we'll be 30 games over .500 which will put us on pace for 102 wins.

[iortiz]

BTW... Are we facing the next Red Sox pitcher?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

If we somehow manage to get Felix I guarantee you'll find me on the news.

Wow. From here on out, we can play .500 baseball and win 96 games. Remember how everyone on like ESPN was saying 'after their 2-10 start, they have to play .626 baseball to win 96 games! That's a 102 win pace! I just don't know if they can dig themselves out of this hole'

 

Ha. Well how about we just play .680 baseball after our 2-10 start. That's a 110 pace, bitches.

Must be tough for the east coast, having to wait all day for the game to start! It ended at 1am yesterday for you guys right?

[iortiz]

Well, in my case, when the games are played in the west coast usually start at 9:00 p.m. (GMT -6) so... it is not that bad for me!

Off-topic and irrevelant but too funny not to post.

 

NYYfans:

 

Meh ... Pedroia is a good player but he's no Robbie Cano.

 

Pedroia has to play ball, on 6th gear, redlining it at 9000 RPM to do what Cano can do ... effortlessly.

They can probably win 98-100 if they stick to light beer.

LOL

 

I love how it's effortlessly, to make it seem like he's not even really playing 100% because he's so good.

 

Okay then, how about Cano just turns on the switch next year. This is some stuff out of a episode of DBZ, where the opponent suddenly reveals he's not in his most powerful form. Apparently Cano is Frieza.

Frieza in his final form..... Or IS IT???

Probably back spasms. It happens to him once every season. It usually takes 2 or 3 games to go away.

[AtWork]

SEATTLE — Marco Scutaro is in the lineup, his sore back feeling better. The Sox will watch him closely in batting practice. But Kevin Youkilis is still sidelined with his bad back.

 

“He’s still sore,” Terry Francona said. “We’re going to stay away from him.”

 

Youkilis has been out of the lineup six times in the last 39 games due to his various aches and pains.

 

Mike Aviles is 3 for 8 against Felix Hernandez, so he starts at third instead of Lowrie, who is 1 for 9.

 

Too bad Drew's still out, he kills Hernandez.

Seattle placed first baseman Justin Smoak on the disabled list, a day after a bad-hop grounder off the bat of Jarrod Saltalamacchia broke his nose. Wily Mo Pena was called up from Class AAA Tacoma to replace him. Pena hit fifth and was the DH last night.

[mvp 78]

A Wily Mo sighting would be fantastic!

[AtWork]

A Wily Mo sighting would be fantastic!

 

He's DHing and batting 5th.

[Spudboy]

He's DHing and batting 5th.

 

He sucks.

[BeepBeepYoureDumb]

Can't wait to watch this pitching matchup. Hope there isn't an early exit by either guy tonight

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm going to go out and eat. When I come back I bet see some damn run support.

[Meh]

Come on Griffey has a sleep disorder... it's a medical condition.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

[rlchange]
