8/28 vs Buck Naked Showalter

[BornToRun]

Let us continue to beat down the orioles so thoroughly that members of PETA self-immolate in protest outside of Fenway Park. We shall then roast hot dogs and other forms of meat over their flaming corpses.

[User Name]

Except that hot dogs are not actually meat. Unless you consider a hoof meat.

 

WIN!

Stat of the Day: The Sox have outscored opponents 46-11 in the past seven games. It’s the fewest runs they’ve allowed over a seven-game stretch since 2004.

 

Notes: The Red Sox have won three in a row and five of their past seven. They can pull to .500 on the season against the Orioles with a win tonight … The Sox have won seven of their past 10 home games … The Orioles have lost eight of their past 13 … John Lackey is 12-5 with a 3.48 ERA in 21 career starts against the Orioles … The last time he faced the Orioles was July 26, when he gave up five runs on nine hits in 6.1 innings and took the loss … Over his past four starts, Lackey has given up just nine earned runs but has a 1-3 record to show for it … On the flip side, despite a 5.27 ERA, Bud Norris is 3-0 in five starts since being traded to Baltimore from Houston at the deadline. The Orioles have won every time he’s taken the mound … In Norris’s only start against the Sox this season, he gave up three runs over six innings … The Orioles lead the league in home runs (175) and are second in home runs allowed (167) … Dustin Pedroia is hitting .424 with seven extra-base hits over his current eight-game hit streak … Adam Jones saw his 11 game hit streak against the Sox come to an end after going 0 for 3 Tuesday night.

I don't give a flying uterus what's in hot dogs, so long as no one gives me too many specifics. Nathan's are f***ing awesome.

Anyone who guesses which Sox player hits our first HR tonight gets to have dinner with Taylor and I at our mansion in Nashville.

Can I bring the Taylor lookalike from my school?

 

 

Anyway, my guess is Papi.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Napoli.

 

Oh, and thanks so much for the thread title and the mental image I will never be able to scrape off of my brain.

It depends. This is high school, right? Is she 18?

[BornToRun]

Napoli.

 

Oh, and thanks so much for the thread title and the mental image I will never be able to scrape off of my brain.

Apparently that's how he got the nickname. It surely isn't a pretty picture with the liver spotted skin and the shriveled reproductive area and all that. Just imagine him strutting through the clubhouse letting it all hang out as he looks you dead in the eye and smiles seductively.

[Thunder]

It depends. This is high school, right? Is she 18?

 

Probably 15. She's one grade ahead of me.

You're allowed to bring one guest so long as it isn't Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, or that miserable f*** faced ******* Kanye West.

Cool. This girl is almost an exact lookalike, but with a few freckles.

[Thunder]

Oh wait, I think her family are Skankees fans. Nevermind. She's fat and ugly.

You may be a young-in but at least you know the proper etiquette when dealing with Yankees fans.

I'm not saying I was into her or anything. I am just amazed at her resemblance to Taylor.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Someone's been doing recon.

Someone's been doing recon.

I wonder if he uses a camera in the wall or does it the old finished way with a tree branch and binoculars.

[a700hitter]

She's a Yankee fan? Skank!

[Thunder]

Perks of living in CT. Almost exactly half Red Sox and half Yankees and half Patriots and half Giants.

So half cool people and half subhuman vermin that should be cast into a pit of fire?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yep, that perfectly describes Sox and Giants fans and Yankees and Patriots fans, respectively.

[Navafan29]

I'm not trying to be racist, but is it just me, or do black people in New England seem to be yankees fans or have yankees hats more often than white people? I'm really trying to figure this out, and I'm not joking about this.
