7/31 vs Detroit @ Home

[jung]

Sorta sucks they kept Frank out there throwing....that field is a mess and Frank simply got to the point where I don't think he could throw reliably.

[Station 13]

Great can't even finished him off with 2 strike throwing 3 straight ball. Bases jacked. We might be a pitch at 10:59 and a grand slam on the 1st pitch

[SoxSport]

At 1:30 AM?

 

taped earlier, but they don't announce these things because of TV coverage.

[jung]

The networks cannot possibly control people tweeting the metal winners in various events though right?

yankees loose..wait get embarassed by orioles.

Not a good thing for us. We need to climb over the Orioles. If they are for real, that's bad news for us.

[NativeBostonian]

Anyone know if we are going to play this game?

[a700hitter]

Game called. Four game winning streak.

I'll take it.

[BecKett]

My roommate and I are betting the big bedroom in our new apartment on tomorrow night's game. We move in next week. The Sox have won 4 straight, so of course Cook will go 2 innings allowing 7 ER, leaving me to live in a closet tomorrow.

[Laser Show]

Can the SP get the win in a shortened game if he doesn't go 5?

[BornToRun]

Is it BC's fault for not telepathically predicting Beckett leaving with a back issue and not trading for a starter?

[Bellhorn04]

Nice bit of luck for a change. Works for me.

[TutGadol]

Can the Tigers somehow contest the call? I don't think I ever saw a game where the tying run was on base being waved off early.

I don't think so. The game reverts to the end of the previous inning. But if the Tigers had scored runs and tied it or gone ahead and then they called it, it would be treated as a suspended game. That was a rule change they put in a few years ago and it affected a game a couple of years ago.

[SCM33]

I hate CC piece of s*** overpaid

How have you managed to not get yourself banned?

 

Is it BC's fault for not telepathically predicting Beckett leaving with a back issue and not trading for a starter?

No, its BC's fault that he didn't trade him. How funny is this though.....that cancer goes out there a midst trade rumors and gives all of Boston a big "f*** you" with "back spasms" a mere hours after the trade deadline.

 

Doesn't shock me one bit, this is what Josh Beckett is all about.

[BornToRun]

Yeah, totally.

 

He just felt like telling us to f*** ourselves and said his back was hurting. No chance it's actually an issue with the s***** weather and all.

 

Logic? f*** that! Let's get some reactionary whining up in this bitch!

[SCM33]

Yeah, totally.

Yeah, its always coincidence and bad luck with him isn't it?

[redsoxbeatz]

Not a good thing for us. We need to climb over the Orioles. If they are for real' date=' that's bad news for us.[/quote']

 

How can they be for real? -57 or more run differential. They are the only team with a negative RD in the top 2 maybe 3 of any division.

 

 

It's luck.

[BornToRun]

Yeah' date=' its always coincidence and bad luck with him isn't it? [/quote']

 

Why would he fake it? Why? There is no reason for him to just fake an injury to leave the game. You sound insane right now.

It's luck.

 

Are you serious? It's that awful?

[SCM33]

Why would he fake it? Why? There is no reason for him to just fake an injury to leave the game. You sound insane right now.

 

No your right. Its always bad luck and coincidence.

 

Over/under someone seeing him playing golf tomorrow? Nahhhhhh there would be no way he would be that unprofessional.

 

....and if he does, shame on us for judging him. He only has 18 off days a year right?

[BornToRun]

This is hopeless.

[SCM33]

This is hopeless.

 

Yeah.....and its too easy on my end.

 

You blindly defend an ******* not worth the money or the trouble he brings.

 

On and off the field hes a completely unprofessional *******, only now....his performance doesn't give him the same leeway.

 

I've told the story 100 times, but the best man in my wedding worked for the grounds crew in the bullpen for 3 years.........he saw the real Josh Beckett on a daily basis.

[Emmz]

Its okay, SCM has a hardon for criticizing Beckett.

[SCM33]

Its okay' date=' SCM has a hardon for criticizing Beckett.[/quote']

 

Am I wrong?

 

This team is better with him?

 

I have their record as 6-11 when he starts.

[Emmz]

You said he faked an injury, it has nothing to do with whether or not this team is better with or without him. I just think you're especially unreasonable when it comes to Beckett.

[SCM33]

Well, he makes it too easy. Last time he was hurt he played golf the next day. Last time he was day to day he missed 56 games in 2010.

 

How can you not question whether or not he is hurt when he plays golf after he misses a start?

 

Don't argue just to argue, you know he a huge part of this teams problems.

[Bellhorn04]

At the very least it's hard to deny that Beckett has become very unreliable physically. This is his third issue so far this year, on top of the one that affected him last September, and missing most of 2010.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Game called. Four game winning streak.

 

Dang. I'd be pissed if I were the Tigers, having the game called with the bases juiced, down 3.

 

But, they had 2 outs with Omar Infante up, so it's not like they can be all that pissed. Sox would have almost certainly escaped with the lead regardless.

 

Either way, it's a winning streak, and the Yanks are on a 4 game skid. We're now only 7.5 back in the East, 3.5 back in the WC.

 

For all of those who said the East is decided, just remember that the Yanks are 3-9 in their last 12 against the A's, Mariners, Sox, and Orioles.

 

There is a lot of baseball left.
