Two starters with ERA over 5. Somehow the Red Sox have lowered the Twinkies and Tribes ERAs after playing them when it should be the opposite.

[NativeBostonian]

Hard to get exited about a game when you can't even win against the Guardians. <_>

I am sure Indian's fans are so happy to have the circus come to town. For our part we are so lucky to have 81 circus dates right in downtown Boston. It would however be nice to have a ML baseball team in Boston again. One can always hope.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

[Station 13]

2011 team score 3 runs or fewer only 55 times. This 2012 team is already at 51 and on pace for 70.

 

2011 team held opponent scoreless 13 times. This team only 4 time at the time being.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

 

It is either laugh or cry at this point

[SemperFi Sox]

No desire to watch this, I think it's going to cause brain cancer.

Barnum and Bailey are proud to present to you... The 2012 Boston Red Sox!

[Station 13]

is there an audio issue with NESN?

[DocHolliday]

Apparently there is a malfunction with the start of tonight's performance at the circus because the Red Sox are ahead 3-0.

[Thunder]

This is the start we need... Enough to back up Lester? Maybe.

[Station 13]

Here come the ace with a 3-0 lead. How many 3 ball count will he run up?

[DocHolliday]

No worries,

 

The circus is finally up and running!

[Thunder]

Just a typical day for the Sox.

Bye. Oh and if we win don't bother making the gamethread, who cares about the team.

[a700hitter]

SOS from Lester. We'll need at least 5.

[redsoxbeatz]

Season over. It's okay, rebuilding a little bit!

 

Either way, GO SOX!! Win win win!!

 

Football season is all but here!!

[Thunder]

Could actually escape. A DP will do it. Or a sac fly... Damn it! 3-1

[a700hitter]

Typical 30-40 pitch first inning for Lester. This is a horse s*** lineup that he is facing. He should be shutting them down and dominating them. This guy is still not showing signs of turning it around.

[Brennan]

Nice AB from Shoppach there. This Kluber guy might be the worst excuse for a pitcher in MLB right now.

[Elktonnick]

Agreed. He is pitching like he doesn't want to be there.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

2nd double for Crawford, good s***.

[Brennan]

Is Kluber trying out for Cherington or something?

[jung]

Well Sox have their 5 today. Will that be enough for Lester?

[Thunder]

I thought that was Beckett.

[Thunder]

Well Sox have their 5 today. Will that be enough for Lester?

 

My prediction: No.

[Elktonnick]

Lester has a four run lead two outs and he walks the nbr 9 hitter. Wake up John and smell the coffee.

[jung]

54 pitches through 2 1/3. This could deteriorate very quickly for Lester today. Once he gets going the wrong way lately the opponent tends to go nuts over a very short period.

[Station 13]

Amazing the Cleveland starter has thrown less pitches than Lester. It just goes to show how poor Lester pitches are.
