I'm really tired of the Sox struggles on the West Coast. Time to turn this s*** around, starting now.

[mvp 78]

Stop losing

[Station 13]

WTF at the Sox lineup.

[a700hitter]

I doubted that Nava could play RF at Fenway, and he proved me wrong. I am hoping that he proves me wrong again and that he can play CF. I never thought that I would see him penciled in for CF.

[Bellhorn04]

Miller's out for the year and Ellsbury and Victorino are both day-to-day. Beautiful.

[jung]

Of course Miller is out for the season. Baseball gods doing whatever they can to make sure we remember that Saturday night game in Anaheim.

[SoxSport]

One wonders why Bradley isn't up. Last time up, he hit one over the Sox bullpen in Fenway against a LHP.

 

They need 2 out of 3 in this series, which looks doable.

 

Their bullpen is shrinking fast. Looks like a trade is warranted here. They won't be dealing major prospects.

[SoxSport]

I hope it's not the turning point of the season. They got burned for lack of a defensive substitute at 3B in a close game.

 

They should have learned their lesson with the first Drew. The Drews play on occasion.

[SoxSport]

I read that Leyland was close to picking Nava on the all-star team. I can see why.

[MJantomaso]

had to break up the consecutive posts.

[mvp 78]

DFA Gomes

[Jasonbay44]

Nice AB by Gomes.

[Jasonbay44]

Pedroia hits into so many double plays... At least it feels like he does.

[SoxFanForsyth]

With Victorino and Ellsbury out of the lineup tonight, it should be noted that JBJ has missed both ends of the PawSox double header tonight.

 

Probably because he's in Seattle.

[Jasonbay44]

Very nice inning by Lester.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Napoli did what!?! Well I have never....

[italstallianion]

It's a 4 game series.

 

Edit: @SoxSport saying that we could win 2 of 3.

[Station 13]

Iggy meet Felix Herandez. You weren't around when he was throwing 97, but he is still as tough today.

[Station 13]

Anything in the air even well struck just dies here.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Smoak is one guy I wish the Sox would look into.

[Station 13]

Smoak is one guy I wish the Sox would look into.

 

Not a fan personally.

 

Though I'm a huge fan of their pitcher right now.

Yeah, we know.

[wyo-sox]

Dustin is due for a few bombs. Let's have one tonight.

[Station 13]

Good effort by Iggy.

[jung]

Iggy's range is ridiculous. Had no business even getting a glove on that

[Jasonbay44]

They really gave him an error for that? I know a good throw gets him there, but most SS's don't even get to that ball.

[jung]

I think Lester got lucky there with Saunders. Not sure why Jon feels compelled to cut it so fine with guys like him.

[wyo-sox]

I'd say he deserved an error.

[wyo-sox]

Really interesting to see what Lester does tonight. Has he worked himself out of his funk?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

MLB.TV still not working for me. Time to rage..
