7/20 vs. Blue Jays

[VA Sox Fan]

RED SOX (48-45)

 

Ellsbury CF

Crawford LF

Pedroia 2B

Gonzalez 1B

Ross RF

Middlebrooks 3B

Shoppach C

Aviles SS

Ciriaco DH

 

Pitching: RHP Josh Beckett (5-7, 4.44)

I would like to see them take a shot at putting Aviles behind Ciriaco in this game just because it might give Aviles somebody to drive in. Aviles has a chance at having a big game against Laffey. If they are not going to put him higher in the lineup which I can understand then I would prefer to have him hit behind somebody likely to get on. A dinger from Aviles with somebody on would be more meaningful and a base hit from Aviles with Ciriaco already on really sets the table for Ells.

Shoppach for the 3rd day in a row, maybe Bobby V is finally realizing what a worthless sack of s*** Salty is.

[Station 13]

Is Laffey a soft tossing lefty?

Good point.. Salty is garbage against LHP's

[jung]

Well Shop is a much better defensive catcher than Salty and frankly he does not really give up anything to Salty at the plate against a LH pitcher. More importantly, if you want to consider handling the pitchers a separate category from pure defense (which makes sense) there are things that you can see that Shop does better than Salty. I don't have an opinion on how either calls games. How they call games would be a matter of how often the pitchers are shaking them off at least as far as looking for something visible. I must admit that I have not been as diligent as I need to be to comment on how well either Salty or Shop call games.

VA mojo uber alles

[SemperFi Sox]

and here comes some 1st inning runs

[SemperFi Sox]

dumbass ump he didn't touch the f***ing plate.

[NC Sox Fan]

AHHH! the replay showed that the ump got that one wrong.

[redsoxbeatz]

So the ump f***s the red sox again??

 

Fire all the umps and use TECHNOLOGY!!!!

[SemperFi Sox]

beckett sucks ass, trade him

[SoxFanForsyth]

no way...the Sox are looking to struggle against a junkballer. Nooo wayyy.

[mvp 78]

That Laffey taffy...

[SemperFi Sox]

We have to come back from being down after 1, what a shocker!

[SoxFanForsyth]

seriously Beckett?? Seriously??

[redsoxbeatz]

Thank god I'm working during this game.

 

On second thought, I want to watch no matter what.

 

But... Beckett blows. Lester blows. Doub is almost gassed. Cook... /sigh

 

At least Buchholz is da shiiiit

[d-money]

f*** u Josh Beckett!!

[jung]

The Sox will have to get this useless sack of s*** out of there if they want to have a chane to win this game.

[d-money]

Lester and Beckett, the guys u think would be huge have pitched small.

[SemperFi Sox]

f***ing jerk off looks unfazed, he doesn't give a s***.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Just absolutely terrible. Absolutely terrible by Beckett. Gets Gose 0-2 and walks him on 4 straight.

[jung]

And that 3rd out pitch was a complete mistake that should have been creamed leaving the Sox in an even deeper hole.

[SemperFi Sox]

We better unload him at the deadline. Show us you aren't completely spineless cherington.

[NC Sox Fan]

Would you pull Beckett given that lately he settles down after giving up runs early?

[Station 13]

Another ace performances.

[SemperFi Sox]

Another crap pitcher will shut us down

[NC Sox Fan]

I would let him start next inning while the bullpen warms up.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Why do we suck so incredibly bad against pitchers that throw 86?

[d-money]

What bothers me about Beckett and Lester is that they did this s*** last year during the final month of the season.So its not new.
