9/11 @ TB

[iortiz]

Seems like nobody gives a damn about starting the GT lately, huh!

 

Win, Johnny is on the mound.

[a700hitter]

Starting off the first inning in a bad way. The first two guys are on for Longoria. s***!

[a700hitter]

Come on Lester! Be an ace.

[a700hitter]

3-0 count on Longo

[a700hitter]

Lester walks the bass loaded. This is sickening.

[a700hitter]

2-0 and no one is out in the first.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I cannot fathom this. This team is actually going to collapse and actually may miss the post season.

 

How can a team this talented play this terribly??

[iortiz]

2-0, nobody out and men at 1st and 2nd. Unexpected.

Mayday Mayday We Are Sinking

Mainly injuries are to blame, but almost equally important was a failure to reinforce the team at the trading deadline to provide insurance against injuries. Poor fundamental play and on field managerial decisions have also played a part.

[a700hitter]

Losing today would terrible not just because it put the Rays right on our doors step, but it also because Lester will not pitch for another 5 games. We will have to roll s*** out to the mound for the next 4 games.

[a700hitter]

If Lester has another 40 pitch inning like he had in NY, he will only be able to go 5 and they will eat up our bullpen.

Count me out of the "Panic" group. The Rays have 13 of their remaining 20 games against NYY and BOS. Excuse me for being optimistic here' date=' but I just really don't see them picking up 6 games with 20 to play with that schedule.[/quote']

 

:harhar:

[lesterkett]

this team stink

[SoxFanForsyth]

We needed a shut out from Lester today. Instead he's allowed 3 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Shields has absolutely owned this team this year. I don't see us scoring 4 or more this game. 3.5 game lead after being up by 9 just 2 weeks ago? Uh. Get this f***ing team together, Francona. It's time to f***ing manage.

[a700hitter]

3-0 in the first inning. Some f***ing stopper!! He couldn't even keep them off the board for 1 inning. 4 runs against Shield isn't going to be easy.

[SoxFanForsyth]

:harhar:

 

It's still going to be tough for them, but I definitely did not expect to be swept this weekend.

[iortiz]

Get pounded early in the games is becoming a classic.

[a700hitter]

Giving up three runs in the 1st inning is bad enough, but by laboring for 40 pitches he has made himself a nonfactor, at best, in this game. Even if our offense catches fire and puts up some runs, Lester will need the pen for about 4 innings. He didn't ace up today. He s*** the bed the minute he left the bullpen.

Yup, but We and NY suck lately and they have a nice rotation, seems like this will end like a horse-race, nose with nose.

 

If you ask me, I would push the panic button right away.

 

BTW, thanks God the inning just ended.

[a700hitter]

43 first inning pitches. Good god!! That's so ridiculous. His first inning command sucks.

[a700hitter]

Too bad Reddick didn't steamroll Shields at first base. That might have been our best shot today.

[SoxFanForsyth]

why the hell is varitek still playing

[a700hitter]

I miss Curt Schilling.

[a700hitter]

50 pitches and he gotten 3 outs. Please!!!

[Station 13]

LOL explain why Tek hits in front of Scooter? Tito?

[a700hitter]

54 pitches 3 outs

[mvp 78]

I miss Curt Schilling.

 

That's f'd up.

[SoxFanForsyth]

the way Pedey has been going, a bunt here may be smart.

[iortiz]

Finally a Run.

 

Let's go Red Sox!,
