You know Beckett could surprise us all and have a really great game. Well one could only hope. :dunno:

Looks like it is going to have to be one of those games the Red Sox win 10 to 8. That is going to be tough based on who the Spanks are throwing tonight.

ha, seriously.

 

 

This game has the potential to be a disaster, thankfully I have more fulfilling things to do tonight than watch it.

I haven't watched either of the first two games live. I can't remember the last time I did that in a Yankees-Sox series. I decided to enjoy some fun things in life instead. The Red Sox have not been fun at all in 2012. Other than Pedro Ciriaco getting all sorts of hits to beat the Yankees, I can't think of many other fun moments.

The key to watching Beckett and frankly the key to watching most pitchers is not whether or not they are making mistakes.....they are going to make mistakes. In some cases as they age, their velo comes down and they can make fewer mistakes as they can't blow people away like they used to. Surely that appears the case with Beckett.

 

They are going to make mistakes but when they start making a high percentage of mistake pitches in a condensed period of time....that is the genesis of opponent rallies and multiple opponent runs.

 

Lester had a fine start last night....mainly because while he made some mistake pitches he did not make them in bunches in single innings resulting in multiple runs. Buch who has been terrific of late, makes mistake pitches but does not make them in bunches in single innings. He limits the rallies and limits the number of runs against.

 

This year Beckett has had these multiple mistake innings earlier in the game and gets the team behind, sometimes by big runs early. So it should not take long to know if he is going to have a good night or a bad night. Hopefully if he does get in trouble, V will be confident enough in the pen to remove him as that has been a big part of the problem this year. V has attempted to preserve the pen a bit more than Tito did last year.

Come on Sox. If you aren’t going to make the playoffs, can you at least win this series against the Yankees? For god sakes, give me something to throw in my best friend’s face (Yankees fan).

If the Red Sox don't win, there's always acid you can throw in his face

I skipped both games too, except for the 1st inning on Friday. There's a lot more to life that we miss by watching the Sox.

[Station 13]

2 pitches.

But you know it's true. I'd like to call myself a pretty optimistic poster. I barely bitch and you know it.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oye.

[Brennan]

Beckett you overpaid, over-hyped sack of crap.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ha. Watch Crawford blow his elbow flicking a ball into the stands like that. That'd be the Sox luck this year

[RedSoxNC84]

Don't look now, but Beckett might be pitching okay.

[RedSoxNC84]

Ciriaco should be able to hit these.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. This is a horribly inconsistent umpire.

[SoxSport]

Beckett pitching OK? Well, I watched him throw one of his patented meatballs to Granderson in the first inning. Luckily Grandison pulled it into the RF corner for a double instead of into the grandstand.

Lavarnway looks like Salty will never get his job back. Smaller than Salty, and a better target, but still not aggressive enough framing outside corner. I remember Perez used to setup 6 inches outside for Glavine and Maddux --and get the call.

 

Switched to the Colts-Steelers just in time to see Collie catch a pass over the middle and get forearmed in the head by a Steelers' back. Dropped the ball and went off the field to the locker room. I don't know how they could rule that a fair hit, in the light of all the concussions in the league--including Collie, who is one concussion away from retirement. But then these are substitute refs. You hate to see guys hurt in these pre-season games. Some of those defensive backs are killers. You want them fighting next to you in a war.

 

Back to the Red Sox, who definitely are not killers.

 

Has anyone at ESPN asked Tito on the air what happened last September?

[NativeBostonian]

Here comes the runs.

[Brennan]

I'm sorry if anyone is offended by this but this team is just plain bad.

[Vredstein]

Has anyone asked at ESPN asked Tito on the air what happened last September?

I think they keep getting distracted by the game at hand.

[NativeBostonian]

Yes Yankees those pin stripes make your ass look big.

Dude.

You're 10 times more concerned with being right about a prediction than you are about this team.

 

That's ridiculous. Why would anyone enjoy posts that are all screaming "HAHA THIS TEAM SUCKS AND I TOLD YOU IT WOULD I'M RIGHT!!!!!"

 

It's just annoying.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Crawford to go under surgery on Tuesday??

[NativeBostonian]

That's a good thing. We need him next year. This year is pretty much over.

Im sorry for picking on your team. I know you and mommy put forth a ton of effort hanging all those posters on your wall, and you still love to wear your Redsox jammies.
