don't know proper game thread posting etiquette, but I figure it doesn't matter at this point, and I wanted to try one

All is good with the game thread.

 

One thing though. Usually, VA posts the lineups. Recently, sourcing the lineups has become a little difficult.

[jd98]

Mookie finally back in the lineup, but Drew still inexplicably in there too. First of 3 lefties in a row, backup SS was demoted, I had my hopes up that XB would finally be moved back to SS. I can't comprehend it. For defense? Have they not watched XB at 3b? He's gone from the best hitting SS in the AL, and a below average defender but not that bad, to the worst hitting and worst fielding 3B. Also, it's time to look to next year, and they have Holt, Middlebrooks, and maybe Cecchini capable of 3B, and nobody for SS. So move Xander to SS already!! /end rant

I think that you will have your desire for having X back in the hole realized when Drew is traded at about the deadline. But maybe not?

Brock Holt, I love you

9 times we have been shut out this season. Only 4 times did we get shut out last year through 89 games. At least we have 't been as bad as the padres who have been shut out 12 time already, but still gotta be better o. Edited July 8, 2014 by BigPapi

[BigPapi]

are us serious johnny. ARE YOU f***ING SERIOUS.

[BigPapi]

This team is incredibly dysfunctional.

[gojohn99]

This team can't buy a run

[BigPapi]

Great.

[BigPapi]

Wow nap. This whole team is mentally f***ed right now. They should just take the rest of the season off to recuperate.

[a700hitter]

The horror show continues.

[jd98]

This team is so frustrating to watch. They raise my blood pressure, and I already have high blood pressure. They may just kill me if I continue to watch.

[a700hitter]

This is the polar opposite of the 2013 team.

[BigPapi]

Our batting lineup just didn't have any major holes in it last year. We had jacoby stealing plenty of bases and hitting 300 when it was all said and done. We had vic who provided power for a stretch in late july and hit up near 290. We had pedey who hit 300. We had papi who hit almost 310 and had 30 hrs. Nap 2013 has pretty much been the nap of this year production wise. Nava hit 300 and carried out team with nap in april. Salty hit up over 270 and was a doubles machine. Jose Iglesias was tearing it up for his time here and drew started coming around after the all star break. Gomes wasn't great but he was a better contributor than this year. Our third base production wasn't too great but that was about it. This year our lineup is full of holes. Edited July 9, 2014 by BigPapi

[a700hitter]

This year our lineup is full of holes.

I think it is more accurate to say that the lineup is a hole.

[BigPapi]

Hahahahaha very true. It would be.

[a700hitter]

The last thing we need to make it worse is this 3rd man announcer business.

[BigPapi]

What are we on pace for like 70 wins? Thats just stupid.

[BigPapi]

3 runs might be insurmountable

[a700hitter]

I'm done with this stupid s***. Time to watch something on Netflix.

[Thunder]

Didn't we get 70 in 2012?

[BigPapi]

Didn't we get 70 in 2012?

 

69. But, up until we traded agon, carl, beckett and punto to la, that team was certainly better than this one.

[Thunder]

The one time a ball is hit hard, it is hit to the wrong place, preventing Nap from scoring.

[a700hitter]

XB has looked hopeless at the plate for a long time.

[Thunder]

Yep. Send him down and call up Cecchini.

[Thunder]

f*** this team so much.

[Mr Tibbs]

I'm starting to think it's me, every damn time I tune into a game in the middle after work it seems they are leaving people on base. F U C K!!!!!!!!
