9/5 @ Mariners, game 138

[Thunder]

Aaron Cook (3-8, 5.35) vs Kevin Millwood (4-12, 4.38)

Sox win series with a win...

[TylerD]

Let's go Sox..... Finding it hard to pump myself up lol. But none the less lets get a mini streak going.

Aaron Cook

 

You could have just stopped there.

[Thunder]

You could have just stopped there.

 

I didn't because Millwood gives us a chance.

[RedSoxNC84]

I didn't because Millwood gives us a chance.

 

I can't really argue with that.

[Thunder]

I can't really argue with that.

 

:harhar:

[wyo-sox]

Go Sox

[jung]

The fact that Cook can throw a pitch as badly as the pitch he threw to Seager is why he simply cannot pitch in the AL East and may simply be shot as a pitcher in the ML anywhere

[jung]

I would like to see the Sox resign Ross but I hope they don't go nuts with salary. Ross in part looks so good because the rest of them including guys that should have distinguished themselves much better have simply not done so. Ross is a decent enough hitter against LH pitchers but struggles quite a bit against RH pitchers and is just plain terrible in the field, especially RF.

 

Ross needs Fenway's left field as much as Fenway needs Ross and both sides should come to terms based on that understanding.

Ross has become one of the team's faces, to go with Pedey, Papi and Ells.

[wyo-sox]

Regardless of Cody Rose's numbers or splits, I like him because he does something somebody like Agonz, with great numbers, could never do for us- Ross comes up with clutch hits in key moments. He strives under pressure.

[wyo-sox]

The bull pen guys should just kick the crap out of our starters.

[jung]

I don't think Ells is a face of the Sox guy at anything like the level of Papi and Pedey and even Ross at this point. Ells is a pretty face and that is about it.

[Station 13]

Ciricaco cannot lay off a 0-2 breaking ball.

[jung]

And down goes Ciriaco again swinging at a pitch that was never in any part of the zone at any time from leaving the pitchers hand to the point where he waved at it. Swinging at bad pitches is one thing. Swinging at pitches that never once looked like they could be a strike is something else again.

Middlebrooks?

[jung]

Middlebrooks can definitely be somebody that will join the club but he has not done nearly enough to get in just yet. I think its Pedey and Papi and even to some extent Ross. All Ross has to do to join is sign a reasoned, well intended, not totally whacked out contract with the Sox and he will be a full blown member in good standing.

[jung]

These Mariners and teams like them are so so bad. That we struggled against any of them should have been early indications that this 2012 edition of the Sox was in lots of trouble. I have to admit that I am at least pleased not to have to fret over tools like Beckett, anti-studs like AGons and no shows like Crawford any longer. I am even happy not to have little Nicky to kick around any longer.

[Station 13]

I wouldn't label Ross as face of the franchise.

[jung]

Ross could very easily turn into the Sox player you see in a sound bite after every game next year. Pedey really does not want that job and I don't blame him.

[wyo-sox]

Sign Ross 2 to 3 year deal, see if he can transition to our first baseman.

[jung]

Jesus Ells just looks awful lately. Boras must be pulling his hair out. Probably want to get a bat and beat Ells to a pulp with it.

[Station 13]

I hate watching Jacoby hitting 3rd.

[Station 13]

Jesus Ells just looks awful lately. Boras must be pulling his hair out. Probably want to get a bat and beat Ells to a pulp with it.

 

Someone need to instill that working the count is important to becoming a 'franchise' player.

[jung]

Ells looks even more disinterested than most of them and he really is watching dollar bills flying off of him every time he trots down to first watching the ball go nowhere and then trots back to the dugout. I have got to believe Boras is just beside himself.

[Station 13]

Lavarnway couldn't swat a fly right now.

[jung]

Cook being abused by the Mariners...what a joke. He is throwing High School FB's right now. In fact I have seen better FB's in High School.

[wyo-sox]

Pitching, pitching, pitching!

[jung]

Nice pitch Cook you clown.

[wyo-sox]

You guys listen to Valentine on the ''big show'' today- pretty funny.
