July 1st @ Where Home Runs Go to Die

[a700hitter]

We cannot afford to lose this game. We get nine behind the Yankees in the lost column and that would be enough for me to throw in the towel in terms of getting anywhere in the playoffs if we even get into them at all. Just keeping it real.

It's early.

[a700hitter]

I am glad I missed that.

Oh and then there was the running bases portion of his day where they ran at will against him.

[FredLynn]

I think they thought it would be funny to have a Clay Buchholz look alike.

 

Then they should have traded Youkilis for a Buchholz bobblehead. That would have been more useful than Lillibitch and a lot cheaper.

[Station 13]

Can't wait to get the hell out of Seattle. This park has the lowest BABIP in the game.

Well then thank God we'd only be 8 back if we lost today.

[FredLynn]

It's early.

 

Yeah.

Its only July.

[FredLynn]

Well then thank God we'd only be 8 back if we lost today.

 

Like I said, one more if we lose this one. Not yet, but on the precipice again.

I am sure that some NL team would have given us the bobblehead and a PTBNL.

[jacksonianmarch]

They have to do something at SafeCo. It is absolutely in the heads of the hitters. They should augment the fences.

[FredLynn]

He's just a stereotype of the Yankees fan base' date=' he's not above irrational criticism of Sox players. There's a reason why there's a chart for his biases floating around somewhere, which we call the Jacko Chart.[/quote']

 

I would give him a 92 on the Jackometer for his irrational posts today.

[Cocos Disciples]

I am totally not down for 3 walkoff losses in Seattle, so let's not do that. Since it's a must-win game and all.

Well then why can't we afford to lose this one? Just admit you had no idea what the standings were because it's obvious you thought this game would put us 9 back.

[Brennan]

Pessimist crybabies are back again. Kill me now.

 

 

 

Saying that doesn't make this team stop SUCKING ASS.

[Cocos Disciples]

Saying that doesn't make this team stop SUCKING ASS.

 

Yeah but neither does anything any of us say.

 

EDIT: Except for mojo. Mojo definitely counts.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Dumb of Wedge to go with a RHP here after the ump has been giving LHP about 3 inches off the arm side corner all game.

Can this $160 million singles hitting slug go deep for a change. Jeezus!

I am not admitting it because it is not true. I know exactly where we are in the standings. A few weeks ago my threshold was 10 GB; its later now. Nine and we are out of it. In a few weeks its down to 8.

[Cocos Disciples]

Fun fact: In 2004, Tom Wilhelmsen tested positive for marijuana twice and was suspended for the year. He then quit baseball and was a bartender from 2005 to 2009.

Totally overpaid. Coulda had JD back for a lot less money. And Drew is faster.

That was so he could smoke as much as he wanted for a few years

Or just held onto Rizzo.

This isn't even a valid comparison. Gonzalez and Drew were both on the Sox in 2011 and don't play the same position. Also Drew retired.

[a700hitter]

We crucified Crawford for his 2011 and rightly so, but even in his horrible year he hit 11 HRs while missing 30 games. Gonzo is on pace for 12 HRs in 160 games. f*** his hitting streak. It takes 3 hits to plate that slug.

[FredLynn]

Or just held onto Rizzo.

 

Like I said earlier, we have no problem spending money. Its spending it wisely that is the issue. Look at all the stiffs Theo brought in. Its a pathetic list of bottom feeders.

[SoxFanForsyth]

just a flare, a bleeder, please, anything.

[Cocos Disciples]

Okay so now the Mariners get two guys on, then a ball is hit to right field, Ross makes a good throw and Salty mishandles it. 1 2 3 Break!

[SoxFanForsyth]

the Mariners.

 

How is this possible?!?

[Brennan]

Here comes the pain.
