8/6 @ Houston Astros

[jung]

And yes that hill out there is a total joke. Someday a fielder is going to hit that thing in stride unexpectedly and get hurt in the process.

 

Somebody please correct me on this if I am wrong but isn't that hill supposed to be some sort of an homage to the grade up to the wall that is in the Astrodome? The Astrodome surface was so f***ed up and they went through so much s*** trying to make it right over the years, finally giving up. I think the grade was one of the things that was always screwed up there. Anyway, sorry if I got that wrong but I think that is what the hill is about.

"You all" was perhaps a little too general. I wasn't talking about you. I just meant that the Sox are in the midst of extending their lead after taking the lead on a game in which a spot starter struggled, and everyone can't just be happy with this? Complain about the starter and Napoli later. Live in the moment! The Sox are winning!

Actually, it's where all of Andy Pettitte's HGH stash is buried.

Gomes must be close to breaking some type of PH HR for the Red Sox.

[crc2120]

Sooo can we play Gomes more and put him in the 5 spot instead of King of the K's Napoli?

[jung]

Joe Cronin with 5 in 1943.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Gomes has to be at...4? Or 3?

Never understood why they would have that as a feature, when they could've easily built the park without it. It's not as if Minute Maid has been around forever like Fenway... no reason at all to have it there.

[Palodios]

Why in the hell would you freaking start Wright instead of Workman?!? It just makes no sense. And THEN you bring in Workman?? So you dick yourself out of the game and you also dick yourself out of seeing Workman in meaningful relief??

 

Seems pretty meaningfull to me

[MNSoxChief102]

what an ugly f***ing game... only solace is we're winning by 5

[Youk Of The Nation]

I think it might be time to go to the pen again. Workman obviously hadn't settled down despite the quick 5th, and it would suck to give up a lead to this team.

[MNSoxChief102]

For f***'s sake... take his ass out of the game already.

[Station 13]

Time to take Workman out, he has battle all night.

He's leaving everything up and out over the plate. No wonder he's getting hit hard.

[Station 13]

Once again, f*** you Farrell.

[MNSoxChief102]

Need to lock it down here... let's go Britton!!!

[MNSoxChief102]

f*** yes... Drake is the real deal

[SeanJohn93]

I think Britton will be back next inning. Tampa is losing by 3 in the top of 4th to the diamondbacks

[Youk Of The Nation]

We are all Brittons. And Drake is your king.

[italstallianion]

If only we had some of these runs yesterday.

[SeanJohn93]

Britton has the making of maybe being a closer if he keeps this kind of success rate up

[jung]

Man has Britton turned it on at the right time. He is starting to get into the same neighborhood as Miller was in when he went down and Bres was not headed that way...neither was Thornton before he went down. He has given us some big innings and has also come in and put out fires..not exactly the same skill set and often harder to come by.

[MNSoxChief102]

Ells!!! 2nd one tonight!!! Boom!!!

[Youk Of The Nation]

f*** the Astros!

[BigPapi]

On a seperate note, sundays pawtucket start for anthony ranaudo went masterful. He didnt let up any runs, got some solid ks, and was painting all night long. Just another good young arm we can look forward too seeing up here in the near future,

[BigPapi]

I wish i could see pawsox games on nesn more often

[jung]

Renaudo looked very good. He must look huge standing on the mound looking at him from home plate.

[jung]

Oh boy....unless Ortiz hits into a DP we get to see Naps come up again with RISP. Be still my heart.

[SeanJohn93]

I think that when the sox have a day game for now on, nesn will broadcast paw sox games at night.

[BigPapi]

The more i see this returning power for ells, the more i really dont want the red sox too cut ends with him.
