9/26 vs. orioles

[pcbsoxfan]

Some one tell me why Varitek didn't catch tonight???

 

because our s***** manager thought he'd "make a move" and try to be a big league skipper, go against the grain so if it worked, he'd look smart! well the guys oh-fer and just cost us the most 4 important runs of the season.

[MNSoxChief102]

Not giving the offense a pass, but if you have to score 7+ runs everytime out to win, you're not going to win many ballgames. Our September in a nutshell.

... and he strikes out one-third of the time' date=' so he doesn't even make productive outs. What a breakout season!!![/quote']

 

top 5 catcher

So glad we went with him instead of V-Mart.

I still can't believe we are in this situation. This team has some LeBron James syndrome. LeBron plays hard except the 4th quarter. We play hard except September. This point in the season we shouldn't be having to play for a playoff spot. I'm still in shock especially with a team this talented. Oh my god.

who has the tie-breaker if it tied at the end of the season?

 

Isnt there a 1-game Playoff if they finish tied?

[RedSox_Ruszkowski]

wow.... it's amazing how good we make the orioles look.... this is awful.. i almost don't want to watch the last 2 innings...

[VA Sox Fan]

Some one tell me why Varitek didn't catch tonight???

 

He was hit by a pitch last night and came out of the game early. He was hit in the thigh.

Varitek f***ing blows too. This line up just boggled my mind. I love pedroia but he is not a 3 hitter. Agone our best hitter hitting 5 and a guy who hasn't hit worth of dick all year moved up to two.

[redsoxrules]

OHHHHH.

 

You mean all those batters that came up AFTER Salty couldnt make a throw a little league catcher makes everyday to throw out possible the slowest runner in the game?

 

Yup, you got me.

 

BA, .235

OBP, .289

Still cant throw.........and you still defend him hahahaha.

 

Not defending anyone , just pointing out the obvious that beckett couldn't minimize the damage .

 

You cant assume throwing out a baserunner . The inning is on beckett

[crc2120]

Well at least we know the Yankees are still sending out some of their big bats. So they're not laying down that's for sure....

Not even close. Tek took a fastball to his knee last night courtesy of Nova. That's why Salty was in the game from the late innings onward. He tried to give it a go tonight and it wasn't working for him. That's why Saltalacrappia caught Beckett.

Varitek was scratched because of the pitch he took off his knee.

sure?

[wake21334]

So glad we went with him instead of V-Mart.

 

Couldn't afford Vmart when we have so much tied up in a 30 year old speedster.

[La Munson]

wow.... it's amazing how good we make the orioles look.... this is awful.. i almost don't want to watch the last 2 innings...

 

I'd say more than a good amount of Sox fans have already switched to Monday Night Football.

Cant assume throwing out a baserunner????

 

Really? Thats the best excuse for the kid???

 

He was OUT BY 10 FEET!!!

[Meh]

Wow... bringing in Aceves when you're down by 4?

[MNSoxChief102]

How about assuming he'll catch an easy relay throw to end the inning instead of letting in another?

[redsoxrules]

You're missing the point' date=' Salty could have ended the inning. All he had to do was throw out Vlad Guerrero.[/quote']

 

You cant assume throwing out base stealers. the inning was on beckett and he f***ed up

No one's giving him the pass, but Salty could have and should have quite easily stopped it.

[VA Sox Fan]

STFU Yankee fan.

[SCM33]

So we can scratch Aceves off 2morrow nights game availability. Nice bullpen management.

[NativeBostonian]

Shouldn't have gotten CC and kept a guy who could hit.

[La Munson]

Wow... bringing in Aceves when you're down by 4?

 

Yeah, why not start him when we can put him in games we have virtually no chance in.

 

This team's logic is non-existent

[jacksonianmarch]

Well at least we'll be f***ing tied in the WC. We're not behind yet...

 

The Yankees are effectively throwing all 3 against the Rays. The best you can hope for is you win the next 2 and get to take your chances with a 1 gamer vs the Rays on Thursday

and people wonder why people leave this board and dont post anymore.

Yeah, I'm one of the those people you are talking about. So speak for yourself chief.

[Meh]

STFU Yankee fan.

 

Go eat a donut.

f*** football.

 

Go Red Sox. Win this damn game.
