8/7 vs Texas

[Thunder]

Lester's shutting them down too you know.

Yeah, and the offense should reward him with a couple runs!

[SemperFi Sox]

no reason we should be getting shut down by this overrated bum

[Palodios]

How about the pen?

 

Hopefully Atchison will be back soon.

 

[Youk Of The Nation]

Craig Counsell has taken dumps that would get more XBH than Nick Punto.

[SemperFi Sox]

Let's give the youngest guy on the team yet another day off so Punto can play! Maybe Valentine does it out of spite.

[Palodios]

s***, Lester needs to calm down.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ump completely dicked Lester. Absolutely screwed him. He's called that a strike all game.

[Thunder]

Most people could.

[Youk Of The Nation]

The most disappointing thing about all of this is that people will still dog Lester if he gives up one or two runs here. 6-8IP with 1-2ER or less, and no walks should be more than enough for the Sox to win a game. If they lose 1-0 or 2-1 people will still act like Lester was giving up bombs to every other batter.

[SemperFi Sox]

god damn chinese are good at olympics.

[SemperFi Sox]

offense won't do s***, watch.

[SoxFanForsyth]

f***ing ump on that one

[Thunder]

I'm watching Misty May and Kerri Walsh Jennings play China. They are good.

[SemperFi Sox]

what is Andrus crying about?

[Thunder]

what is Andrus crying about?

 

The fact that he's not on the Sox. :dunno:

It seems concerning that he gave up those two hits immediately after losing some close calls on the outside part of the place to the umpires. That being said, he's pitching as good as possible against an incredibly dangerous Texas lineup.

[TheBardoftheBullpen51]

He tried to call time ump "didnt see him"

[Thunder]

Let's get some runs with the top of the order coming up!

[SemperFi Sox]

Ben the Boob needs to get rid of Punto. Do it, I'd rather have Bogaerts up and he's 19.

Bogaerts is a SS. Call up Valencia.

[TheBardoftheBullpen51]

Let's shop Punto and Kalish or Lin! Then call up Xander and Jackie Bradley Junior

who's going to end up at 3B. Punto is utility so he can play SS/3B

New York is probably craving more Linsanity. Send him to the Mets for David Wright. Oh wait, we have Middlebrooks.

Valencia is a 3B.

Chinese women playing volleyball? Awesome!

 

I wish my father wasn't hogging the TV.

Didn't Middlebrooks take groundballs there when Aviles was hurt?

[SoxFanForsyth]

2 runs wouldn't be so bad if this team could hit the baseball.

My father's new favorite sport is beach volleyball.

Vintage Lester from 2012 is back.

[a700hitter]

Don't sweat it. That run doesn't mean anything. We can't win a game unless we score more than 4 runs. We can't out-duel anyone on any given day.
