8/7 vs Texas

[Thunder]

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.

 

We should scored at least 5 by now.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Lester got hosed that inning in that Murphy AB. Shouldn't have been 1 run that scored.

[Thunder]

C'mon, let's do something against this bum.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Lets go Gonzo. Tie it up man.

[SoxSport]

Chinese women playing volleyball? Awesome!

 

I wish my father wasn't hogging the TV.

 

NBC really loves bikini beach volleyball. A steady diet of it day and night. The least they could do is put the girls in g-strings. That would get their ratings up.

[SoxSport]

I see Cherington has Punto in his starting lineup again, and Ciriaco on the bench.

Wouldn't be good for the kids, you know?

Put it on later, then.

 

Besides, I think I would have had the same reaction at age 12 or 13 to Asian women jumping up and down in bikinis and violently spiking a volleyball at other women in bikinis as I do now.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[Station 13]

Cannot believe how much Murphy own the Sox. Great trade.

Unfortunately, I think that's the attitude that has turned Lester into a mediocre pitcher. He needs to stop blaming the little things, and get back to what works.

[Thunder]

Little late, Bobby.

[a700hitter]

Not an ace.

[DocHolliday]

Like I said last night, the inconsistency of the offensive approach has to be discussed as a minor problem with the team's performance this year.

 

This is th 2nd time this year they have faced Dempster and they have yet to score a run off him. Last night they were working the count and had an offensive approach against Yu. Tonight, they swing early in the account and expand the zone on junk pitches for easy outs.

 

Say what you want about the pitching, but when the pitching has shown up, the offensive has been absent more times than not.

Those calls could have gone either way but Lester lost his composure, his focus and the game. Talent is one thing but Lester has got to shake off the things that he can't control.

He was left in too long. 116 pitches. I know that no manager is good at removing pitchers on time, but you could clearly see him slowing down a bit.

[example1]

Lester has nobody to be upset with except himself. The pitches that were called balls were balls. He gave up actual hits. Actual runs.

Against this Rangers offense, 4 runs over 6 2/3 is not bad- especially when you consider how well the Rangers have hit him recently. Dempster has been hittable tonight and they have done nothing with him.

 

They did the same thing last Thursday against a no name from the Twins. Lester kept them in the game that night as well. Have to find a way to give run support when pitching steps up like this.

He gave up two runs when he had only thrown 60+ pitches. He slowed down because he stressed himself out getting upset over calls he didn't like which BTW were balls.

[Thunder]

Look who's up with two men on, Punto.

[Thunder]

Middlebrooks to PH, yes!

[Elktonnick]

Great move by BV

[a700hitter]

And why wasn't he playing the whole game?

[Thunder]

3 RUN HR!!!!! Take that Mr. Valentine.

[Emmz]

MIDDLEBROOKS!

[jacksonianmarch]

that is not a homerun

[a700hitter]

Idiot fans should have left the ball alone.

[Thunder]

that is not a homerun

 

Shut up, Yankees fan. Don't derail our faith.

[a700hitter]

You can't reach over far enough in those seats

[Emmz]

s***.
