[VA Sox Fan]

Beat ya to it!

 

Mine looks better! :harhar:

[msubulldogs21]

I'm thinking a lot of runs both ways today.

[SemperFi Sox]

We have a good lineup which means we'll be shut out.

[Thunder]

Love the line up, if Beckett can do okay, we'll win.

[iortiz]

Once Papi's back, put Lav as C, and that lineup would be my favorite for the rest of the season.

[Thunder]

Get rid of Shoppach when Papi comes back.

[Laser Show]

1st and 3rd, 0 out. Great start Beckett.

[iortiz]

and here we go...

[jung]

Beckett is throwing nothing balls and struggling to hit 91. Oh boy...just recorded his first out on another nothing ball.

 

Can't come back from this kind of back issue that quickly.

 

I doubt he is right.

[Laser Show]

DFA

[Station 13]

Nice start, ace.

[jung]

Having first inning troubles is bad enough...today Beckett could not even get anybody out before giving up three runs and was throwing pitches that the twins would have eaten up.

 

If he had not discovered that he could throw a curve ball for a strike he would likely still be out there right now with the score at about 5-0.

[Laser Show]

Other than the walk, 2 hits, and 3 runs, that was a great 1st inning.

[Thunder]

Just a typical start to a typical game.

[crc2120]

Lol what a ******** catch by Murphy. I swear we have had the worst luck when it comes to that kind of stuff...

[Thunder]

That's right, get that offense going. How about a Ross bomb here?

[jung]

AGons pulled one. That is about the only thing he had not done since starting a return to some sort of hitting form.

[Thunder]

Okay Beckett, time to pitch like there's no tomorrow because if you don't there won't be a tomorrow. You're team is giving you run support.

[jung]

Do you ever get the feeling when AGons is running that the wheels are literally going to come off, meaning his legs detach at the hips, leaving him a helpless torso with arms trying to drag himself the last bit of the way home?

2 key letters: No.

[DocHolliday]

This is why don't you don't give your team an early hole every time you take the mound.

 

Circus catch by Murphy. I swear, this Rangers team should have won the world series each of the last 2 seasons with the talent and good fortune they receive. How are they 0-2 in world series appearances?

[iortiz]

Pedro should play everyday

[jung]

I would like to see Ciriaco in there everyday also. We probably won't though. Gotta' justify those awesome off season moves.

[jung]

Beckett has not been able to keep the ball down other than Curve Ball. Not following through and leaving the ball up every time.....would be surprised if he can hold the Rangers down here.

[jung]

Other than Kalish...Sox have no outfield arms what-so-ever

[jung]

Rangers helped Beckett out of that mess....Sox need some runs here.

 

Oh well...I guess 1 is better than none
