BOS@NYY 9/23

Lester went to the hill in three huge games and he came up small each time-- not a money ace. He's just not. He's a # 3.

 

He would be if we had a number two. But, we don't. <_>

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Making Martin look real good right now. Pluck him in the head we have nothing to lose.

[jacksonianmarch]

Tampa is giving the WC to the sox.

Please' date=' let's not start making up phantom excuses for this guy.[/quote']

 

How do you know for sure there isn't something wrong? Perhaps he's just going through a bad stretch, but I also know these past few starts are not like Lester.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I've no doubt the Yanks would love nothing more than to bury us and end any playoff aspirations in this series. Glad the Sox are content with letting them do it.

 

Not making the playoffs is bad enough. To have the Yankees knock us off and I'll be heartbroken.

[Reck]

Wow this game is already under way and to no shocker, Boston losing hugely already. lol

If he's injured, he should not be out there.

[NativeBostonian]

So, now that our season is over, can we look at who we can get to put together a good rotation?

This is a bitch slapping right now. Wakefield and Lackey should provide a ton of fun tomorrow.

Not over yet.

 

Holy s*** Salty are you playig golf? Lay off the dirt dude.

[iortiz]

Embarrassing, simply embarrassing.

[d-money]

Lester has pitched like a bum down the stretch!!!No excuses.Gotta pitch better then that!He has stunk!!!!!

[a700hitter]

Garcia is smart. He's not going to hurt himself. He will get ahead in the count and then bait them out of the zone.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'd say I'm a pretty optimistic person but I'm not liking Wake or Lackey at all for winning. I hope the offense is boiling hot. Regardless I'm watching my football. So if it does go bad I won't break my hands punching a wall watching them.

[Boggs Chicken Dinner]

Agree, he shouldn't be out here if he's injured. Then again, considering the alternatives and how desperate we are for starting pitching, he may be holding something back.

 

Obviously the above could be totally false and he may just flat out suck these past few weeks, but I've been watching lester long enough to know this just ain't like him. Also look at his career numbers vs. Tampa Bay and the Yanks, he owns these teams.

 

Now if he loses to Baltimore, who I think he's 14 - 0 against, I'm predicting he has Tommy John surgery.

I',m going out with friends to watch football tomorrow.

The only way to get through rough patches like this one is to keep finishing beer after beer.

[a700hitter]

Just like he did to Crawford. He'll do that all day.

[d-money]

Lester has been kind of inconsistent all season.His control has been awful.

[Reck]

What else can happen to the Red Sox to make them play any better?

 

Its like they checked out.

 

Just forferit the next 5 games and call it a season. That would be much better then enbarrasing yourself.

...or it could be that he has never pitched in such critical must win games before.

[d-money]

Beckett also has been kind of bad down the stretch as well.Is he injured as well?Maybe f***ing Lackey spread his awfulness on them.

[iortiz]

Papi's face said it all... "f*** these bums pitchers."

[a700hitter]

Lester has great stuff and he is a really good pitcher, but I am really starting to doubt his big game abilities.

[Boggs Chicken Dinner]

...or it could be that he has never pitched in such critical must win games before.

 

 

You may be onto something. He did win a World Series clincher, but we were up 3 games to 0.

[Reck]

Why do they keep showing that fatass face?

 

f*** Lackey.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Papi's face said it all... "f*** these bums pitchers."

 

It's too bad he can't hit a 20 run HR. He's the most clutch player in Sox history.

[a700hitter]
