[Flynnatic10]

I hope you win this game only to have your mojo ruined by John Lackey!

Hey Mike I just noticed that the Chargers Cowboys game is on TV tonight. Can you see it in Miami?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It's on NBC I think so I might be able to watch it.

My back is so f***ing sore now. I hate pain!!! And percocets make me dizzy. f***!!!

Even sitting on the toilet is agony. I just can not get comfortable. I want my Mommy!!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It's not age. I was in an accident June 28 and really f***ed up my back

I have a slam dunk law suit but I don't care. I want the pain gone!!!

 

The accident was a result of Spud being Spud. I was holding a door open for a woman when the hydraulic damper fell off the door frame knocking me unconscious. I fell back, slammed my head against the wall and fell straight down on the tip of my spine. This happened in my apartment building. And the woman (a UPS driver) witnessed it all.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Holy s*** that's crazy. Nothing serious thank god.

[mvp 78]

CC, I want a refund.

[Station 13]

ugly. Why is CC always behind 0-2? And he can't get himself out of the hole.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Has Crawford always done that little stutter step with his front foot? Looks like he is squaring up his body right before the pitch, and then striding again. Anyone else notice that?

He has always done that.

[SoxFanForsyth]

He has always done that.

 

I just looked up older AB's. He never set his foot down. He would hitch his leg back, and then stride. Now he's setting his foot down instead of hitching it back. I think it's an attempt to get him going quicker.

See what I'm talking about?

I've been saying this all year. Nobody gets in more 0-2 counts in baseball than CC.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Our offense is God awful without Ellsbury, Youk, and Ortiz. Its embarrassing. We can't even put a good swing on a ball.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah the top of the 3rd was brutal.

[mvp 78]

Wow, Lowrie didn't botch that play!

[iortiz]

Wow, the ump didn't call it!

[BecKett]

Lester needs to find a way to get his pitch counts under control. It's part of taking that next step in becoming a dominant pitcher.

[SoxFanForsyth]

ugly. just ugly.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Lester needs to find a way to get his pitch counts under control. It's part of taking that next step in becoming a dominant pitcher.

 

11 extra pitches because Lowrie doesn't know how to play an inbetween hop makes it tough to control your pitch count. That's an extra inning.

[mvp 78]

There goes the no-no.

[iortiz]

Somebody shake this offense....

[mvp 78]

11 extra pitches because Lowrie doesn't know how to play an inbetween hop makes it tough to control your pitch count. That's an extra inning.

 

But it shouldn't have taken 11 more pitches for one out. If the ump has a small strike zone, stop trying to nip the corners. If the ump calls something lower in the strike zone a ball. Don't be surprised when the next pitch in the same place is a ball too.

 

With that cutter, he should pitch to contact more than he is.

[iortiz]

Cc can you do what Lavarnway did at least?
