5/9 @ Kansas City

[a700hitter]

Geez I am so shell shocked...anything to the outfield has my heart in my throat. By the way the Royals are also hitting a good many balls in the air off Lester and not pop ups either.

They have no range, take terrible routes to balls and when they get to the ball they juggle it like a hot potato.

Sweeney is a good OF.

 

But I agree. When Ellsbury and Crawford get back, this team will look a hell of a lot better.

[Sox Fire]

my thing is what do you do with byrd and Darell.

 

If ross is the back up and sweeney is rf(or so i thought)

 

Byrd was a waste

Have them kneel down in front of the green monster and shoot them both in the back of the head as a tribute to the gods of baseball lore..... Akin to a sacrifice

[SoxFanForsyth]

Awww damn.

 

Almost our first dick hit.

Sweeney is the best of the OFers on the active roster, but he isn't going to make me forget Dwight Evans.

2B for Salty and HBP for Marlon. Come on now!

[Sox Fire]

whenever those guys are on base they dont score

 

when all others are on base they cant score them

[NZSox]

Where does this Red Sox team rank in LOB numbers?

[VA Sox Fan]

DAMMIT!

[jung]

Sweeney started a little shaky looking and unsure of himself in our RF and I thought Oh boy...here we go again. However I think it just took him some time to get used to RF at Fenway which is a tough field to play. Now he looks like an absolute defensive star when compared to almost any of the Sox outfielders that are playing currently. The biggest shortcoming of the entire Sox outfield core including those that are not playing is arms. We really don't have any good arms in the outfield.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Playing for 1 in the 4th??

 

Does this team think that Chen is a shut down pitcher??

[Brennan]

skanks up 1-0 in the seventh. I keep waiting for them to not have their asses pulled out of the fire by Mo.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Aviles has got to pick that.

[wyo-sox]

F U Lester

[FredLynn]

Unbelievable.

Gone for 20m and Lester surrenders another run. Damn he sucks.

[lesterkett]

this team suckssss

[Brennan]

And our SP coughs up another one.

[jung]

Lester Christ....man...you want a few shut down innings in a row and Lester just can't do it....against the Royals.

[wyo-sox]

Lester..... Dubront is closer to an ace than you this year.

[ellsburyforMVP]

And our SP coughs up another one.

 

To be fair.... The first 3 runs never should of happened

[FredLynn]

Butler has power. Pretty much the only one on the Royals.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Lester Christ....man...you want a few shut down innings in a row and Lester just can't do it....against the Royals.

 

Yes. His 1 ER this game is ridiculous. He should have run out to CF and caught the ball that Byrd dropped and cost him 3 runs.

[redsoxbeatz]

Sooooo.... What the f*** did I buy tickets to all three red sox @ LA angels games for?

[jung]

Beckett shins so much in this group because he is literally the only one of them that knows HOW to pitch. Lester does not, Buch can't, Doubtront and Bard are just still learning their craft.

[Brennan]

If I have to see Lester with the God damned Ford truck commercial one more time. Just focus on your job and stop pretending you drive a working man's vehicle for cripe's sake.

 

Why don't they just run the "I like beer" video every commercial break.

[FredLynn]

To be fair.... The first 3 runs never should of happened

 

True enough.

[jung]

The fact is Lester shuts down nobody....the Royals have gotten far to much wood on far to many baseballs many of them ending up in our outfield which I will grant you is like swiss cheese. But these our the Royals and they are getting way to much wood on Lester's pitches.

 

As bad as the outfield is, look at how many fly ball put outs have been made...that is just way to many liners headed for the outfield.

[wyo-sox]

I'm done with Lester and Buch. Aside from any numbers argument... they just look like uncomfortable, nervous, sensitive, head cases.

[VA Sox Fan]

Sooooo.... What the f*** did I buy tickets to all three red sox @ LA angels games for?

 

Well, currently the Angels suck just as much as we do. Might be a good series! Chin up!
