9/17 @ Rays...

[Taz]

Another day, another chance for redemption or another disappointment?

 

Sox to open a 4 game series at Tropicana.

 

C'mon Sox... Give us something to cheer.

[Station 13]

f*** the Rays. Angels taking the other WC.

[Taz]

Rays are 4 games back in the WC chase... Hopefully we can win the series and virtually put the Rays out of contention this week.

LETS GO REDSOX!

[Brennan]

You guys are crazy. Go Rays! Let everyone breathe down the spankee$ necks. Wait till you hear the press tomorrow if Ol' Roider pettite beats 14 game loser Romero and the Jays tonight, I already feel the vomit coming up.

[Behindenemylines]

If you look at the pitching matchups in this series, and the way the Sox and Rays haven't scored runs lately these are going to be low scoring games. Its a shame that the Rays can't score any runs. If they could, with the pitching they have they would be tough to beat. With that said, LETS GO WHO EVER IS PLAYING THE $panks! The $pankees can't lose enough as far as I am concerned.

I forgot. I think the pinstriped pussies are off tonight.

[Taz]

That goes without saying. Am sure we all want the Evil Empire to lose as many games as possible over the remaining weeks & can see them dropping games. Really hope the O's can go on and win the division.

[Brennan]

Excitement so thick you can cut it with a knife.

[Behindenemylines]

The problem is that second wildcard. Even if some how the O's over took the $panks, I can't see two teams beating them out for the two wild cards. Boy would it be great to have October baseball without the $panks. For me it would shut up those how are the Sox doing comments. In general life is too short to hate, unless it is the $panks you are hating.

[jung]

Games played in the "echo-dome" often yield this kind of excitement regardless of standings or anything else.

[Station 13]

We have a pop gun offense.

[jung]

It was a pop gun offense with Agons and Crawford. Now we have more of a poop gun offense. Each guy comes up to the batters box, splatters some diarrhea and heads back to the dugout.

[Behindenemylines]

Unless someone hits a big fly it doesn't look like the Sox score tonight. The Sox are making the Rays Cobb look like Cy Young.

[jung]

Lavs looking like he is going to s*** out another lousy at bat

[jung]

Need I say more?

[NativeBostonian]

Let's send these fans home mad....oh, wait, they have no fans,sorry.

[jung]

This must be more of genius V playing one of his hunches. Nobody on is exactly when you can put the shift on a player that you shift for. So why no shift for Scott? Is it that overpowering Cook FB that prevented V from putting the shift on? Seems like he just gave Scott that hit.

[Station 13]

As usual, the 2nd time through the order Cook start to get knock around.

[jung]

Nice V...that hunch turns into a Rays run. This season is hardly V's fault but I am not going to shed any tears when genius V is sent packing.

[jung]

Geez if anything Molina actually looks bigger

[NativeBostonian]

It would be cool to see Ben Zobrist play shortstop for us in two years (I think that is when he is a free agent).

[jung]

Scorers pondering whether or not to charge the first E-0 in baseball history making the Rays run unearned since V screwed up by not putting on the shift for Scott.

[Brennan]

Cy Cobb.

 

 

Has a nice ring to it.

[Station 13]

how the hell is Podsednik getting all this playing time?

[Station 13]

yay ELLS!

[Taz]

Nice one, Ellsbury.

 

Great way to break up what so far has been lights out pitching from the very start by Cobb.

[jung]

Nice to see Ells hit one out but he got absolutely all of that on the fat part of the bat...as perfectly hit as you are ever going to see.

[Station 13]

Ross against RHP can be pretty awful, especially away from Fenway.

[Behindenemylines]

The Rays show how important pitching is. Even they can't score off Cook. I said Sox wouldn't score unless someone went big fly. Thanks Jacoby.
