8/28 vs Buck Naked Showalter

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Ortiz is in a rut.

[BornToRun]

How are we not destroying this turd yet?

[jung]

Come on Ortiz....you could have banged that one off the LF wall with your eyes closed. Everything can't be a HR.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nava find a way to get on safely. I have a good feeling about Napoli.

[VA Sox Fan]

I don't think that's ever going to happen and I don't think PC-ness really relates to trophies in kids' sports.

 

Do you think kids should get trophies no matter what?

[BornToRun]

What the f*** is this s***!?

[BigPapi]

He has been swinging under nearly everything. Plus, when you factor in he doesn't get many meatballs to hit, its not good. I hope he can rebound soon. It really looks like he wants too go bridge and will not take anything less.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Oh...boy. That's pretty much disgusting.

 

Do the hitters realize we're facing Bud Norris??

[VA Sox Fan]

How are we not destroying this turd yet?

 

I'm at a loss.......

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Smh, to get out of the inning with 1 run is unacceptable.

[BornToRun]

Unless the kid is a raging *******, I don't see why not. We're just talking about little kids, right?

[Station 13]

This isn't a good time to go in a slump Papi. That NL trip was bad.

[Brennan]

He'll I'm a freckled Irishman and in 45 years I've seen far more white trash than any other kind even if you look at it proportionately.

[crc2120]

f***ing s***....

[Thunder]

Bad AB by Nava.

[BornToRun]

Does anyone have a baby I can punch?

[Thunder]

Find Taylor. Wait 9 months.

[jung]

That was a pretty bad AB by Ortiz. He keeps expecting to be challenged and pitchers are less and less willing to challenge him even with the bases loaded. That is to be expected late in the season like this. Pitchers are not going to give in and challenge him. Should have just taken what Norris was willing to give him.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Don't give these motherf***ers another run. They barely got one run last inning.

[Thunder]

With this team this year, and with this mojo, I never feel like we're out of it. Send in Gomes.

[rjortiz]

Well as the PC-ness continues to dominate in this country. No one will be benched, they'll all get WS trophies and Football will be outlawed due to concussions and the general brutality.

 

Why would you make light of concussions? They are a pretty big problem in the NFL.

There is no protection behind him. Any pitcher that challenges his is a fool.

I don't care how old they are. You don't get a trophy for just playing a sport. You have to win or come in 2nd. You don't reward kids for showing up and playing. But that's how it is these days. Just sayin...

I haven't gotten a participation trophy since 1st grade.

[Brennan]

It's a given that Lackey will get no run support, he has to be a lot stingier than this.

[BigPapi]

Yes it was a bad half inning offensively for the sox, but leaving runners on base is a part of the game. They still got a 2.5 game lead over the rays.

I'm not making light of concussions. Just saying that football could be a thing of the past in the future. Flag/touch football will dominate!

 

How is that making light of concussions? These players know what they are signing up for.

They're just little kids having fun. I question the wisdom of saying, "Sorry son, but you don't get a trophy because the other boys are better than you are. Tough luck."

I don't have a problem with it in T-ball. Heck it is a win if they can just hit the damned thing at that age. Past T-ball I think they should have to WIN games to be considered trophy worthy.

 

That said, if you watch these young kids play they could win city championships if you just have a catcher that can actually catch thrown baseballs. I see whole games where runners get on by advancing to 1st on a missed 3rd strike and then proceed around the bases as balls continue to get past the catcher.

That's how it was back in the day. Agree to disagree Mr. Mojo!
