Grrr this game

[MJantomaso]

In all fairness, Ortiz has certainly hit LHP better than Gomes. Everyone has.

 

Ya, but it's the 7th inning.

[Standing Room]

Yes they should have pinch hit so Ortiz can face a lefty. You guys know too much baseball...

 

Gomes against lefties this year - .151/.318/.321. This isn't rocket science.

[Standing Room]

Ya, but it's the 7th inning.

 

You think Papelbon's going to allow a guy to get to second base so Ortiz can get another opportunity like that?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Doesn't have to come out of the 9 slot. Ortiz could very well hit for Salty and use Ross behind the dish, or for Carp and put Bradley in LF and use the double switch so Bradley gets up in the 9th. So he will likely hit next inning.

Frustrating

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oops. Apparently Farrell double switched Carp out of the game. So Miller is due up 4th next inning. Which will obviously mean Ortiz.

Still have to get a runner on second base to get an opportunity like we had last inning.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I would run all day on Salty. All day.

[Monstah_Mash]

When was the last time we had a catcher that could consistently throw out runners at second?

[SoxFanForsyth]

Still have to get a runner on second base to get an opportunity like we had last inning.

 

He also will likely be facing a RHP.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Great ump.

 

Expand the zone on Ellsbury then shrink it for Miller. Awesome.

[Thunder]

Well, with the current situation of this game as it is, I am going to read. What you may ask? This:

Francona's book The Red Sox Years

The newest ESPN Magazine with a story on the newest openly gay athlete (guess)

The newest Sports Illustrated with a story about LeBron... again

 

Yeah, I'm that bored.

[iortiz]

Farrell take him out for gods sake

[SoxFanForsyth]

Please don't throw a slider please go up and in w the cheese!

[SoxFanForsyth]

Thank Goodness!!! So tired of the nibbling.

[Thunder]

As soon as I start reading, Howard fans and Uehara comes in. See what I do? You should be thanking me.

[MJantomaso]

That was old school miller. Like UNC miller...98 mph!

The Sox really need to do some damage here. I'd really hate for Papelbon to come in and close out another.

[Monstah_Mash]

whew, got out of that one somehow now we gotta find a way to manufacture something close to offense.

High-fives are for people you like. Hugs are for people you love.

[Monstah_Mash]

It would be nice to have Papi here, Adams isn't spectacular with lefties.

[a700hitter]

The Sox really need to do some damage here. I'd really hate for Papelbon to come in and close out another.

if the Mets could beat Mo last night, we can beat papelbon.

[SoxFanForsyth]

What was that!?!?

 

Gosh this freaking team takes so many middle middle fastballs for strike 3!

[Station 13]

What the f*** is Napoli looking for. He swung at worst pitches.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Hey Farrell. Napoli and Salty back to back was idiotic.

[Station 13]

Hey Farrell. Napoli and Salty back to back was idiotic.

 

 

 

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

Way too damn much.

[Monstah_Mash]

thats what we get depending on Salty for probably the most important AB of the game.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
