4/11 @ Goomba Central

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Apparently no one wanted to start the game thread.

 

Lester vs. Slobathia. Cici's ERA is triple that of Lester's, yet he has a win while Lester doesn't. How about we start swinging the bats like we belong in the majors, aye?

Put all your money on Lester, we win today.

[NativeBostonian]

Let's hope the Yankees don't cheat again by using more pine tar.

If they cant hit an 88 to 89 mph fastball then we are doomed! Win tonight! Edited April 11, 2014 by d-money

At least he didn't say it was dirt. Like we're all idiots and don't know what pine tar looks like.

[jacksonianmarch]

Our offense is the balls today. I am really excited to see Cervelli in the 6 hole

[BornToRun]

The thought of Jon Lester not being a Red Sox after this year makes me sad.

[Station 13]

Let's support Lester better than a .5 runs support he's averaging.

Get out the here with that s***.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Get out the here

[Station 13]

Let's get this game in before rain. No need schedule f*** up this early in the season.

[BornToRun]

If we don't destroy Sabathia, I'm going to commit so much murder.

Hopefully it's a fictional character in your novel who is a yankee fan.

[Station 13]

God damnit Gomes, not another strike 3 called.

[BornToRun]

Hopefully it's a fictional character in your novel who is a yankee fan.

Why? I live in NJ and know plenty of real Yankees fans.

[NativeBostonian]

I don't get why you put Gomes at leadoff.

The vast majority of rainouts happen in April and May you silly goose.
