Last night was ugly, but who cares. A win is a win. Lets win this series tonight and get a streak going.

[seabeachfred]

I hope you're dispensing some good mojo Jason. We can use some tonight.

[Spudboy]

Maybe I should start drinking Vodka again?

 

My Vodka mojo used to help snap slumps!

[mvp 78]

I already used "lock of the week" mojo. I got nuthin else.

 

Just glad I don't have to hear Hawk this series.

[MJantomaso]

Win god damnit! Win!

[yeszir]

Win again

[Wasatch]

Let's go REDSOX!

[Beaneater]

Posting-from-West-Africa mojo worked last night, so here it comes again!

[NativeBostonian]

I hope this game doesn't go on until 1:30 again. I couldn't function at work today.

Yeah same. School was rough this morning lol

[Thunder]

Back from Disney! Didn't expect it to be 33 in CT when my plane landed.

 

Sale's tough, but no one else on the ChiSox is except Alexei. WIN

[SoxSport]

Sale is close to a top ten pitcher. Lester is not considered in that category, yet he always seems to come up big in big games. That has to mean something to the Red Sox in terms of his contract.

If he manages to pitch in another 77 innings in October, I would bet against him matching a 2.11 ERA.

Excellent lineup for the Sox today, once Victorino and WMB are back, that lineup will look even better. I'm not getting all "the sky is falling" this early in the season, but I will say without reservation that Ryan Roberts is a useless lump and I can't wait until he's not in the lineup anymore.

Nava and Roberts should be seatmates on the Pawtucket Shuttle.

[Station 13]

Napoli is already back? hardcore.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Nava and Roberts should be seatmates on the Pawtucket Shuttle.

 

Nava has some rope, he had a full season last year and did his job well, there's no reason to send him back to the minors based on the first two weeks of the season any more than there would be a reason to send down Pedroia. Roberts, though, was never a starter, and his performance thus far isn't really that unexpected. He's in there because they need him to be, I'll just be glad to see the back of him.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Napoli is already back? hardcore.

 

He tied the finger up with strands from his beard. He meant to use the ultra-strong material as an unbreakable splint, but it actually healed the finger instead.

[Elktonnick]

When Victorino returns the Sox will have to decide what to do about either Bradley, Carp or Nava. The way it looks now I wouldn't be surprised if they send Bradley back down, keeping Nava and Carp for the time being. Roberts will probably be around until Middlebrooks returns then they will DFA him.IMO

[Station 13]

We need to keep all OF. Sizemore and Victorino are DL regulars.

[RedSoxNC84]

How about a win?

[RedSoxNC84]

Bogaerts hitting 2nd is probably one of the smartest things Farrell has done recently.

[Wasatch]

I think if we take this game, we will be on a nice pace. Go REDSOX!

[Jasonbay44]

f***, nice catch

[RedSoxNC84]

Should have been gone.

[Station 13]

LOL we can't catch a break.

[Youk Of The Nation]

The White Sox have the entire itinerary of a guy's dream Valentine's Day night:

 

1. Flowers Sale

2. Eaton Semien

3. Dunn

[a700hitter]

Ortiz worked that AB and blasted that ball. I was positive that he'd knocked it out of the park.

[mvp 78]

Horrible throw by Bogey there!!! Ugh!
