07/28 Sox vs. Blue Jays

[Palodios]

I'm going to be pissed if the Sox just play out the string. What happened to playing for pride? How about playing for personal achievement at least?

 

I read that the legendary former Cy Young winner Dickey had won two of his 8 wins against the Sox coming into the game. It's bizarre that he now has three of his nine wins against the Sox. Oye!

 

Part of that may be because most of the AL East has been hitting knuckleballs for years, and Red Sox players have almost never seen them. Ortiz, and Pedroia have not faced many, and the rest of the team is rookies. Maybe Victorino has some experience against Dickey? I don't know, it does seem very strange.

I'm not concerned with excuses just results.

 

This team is tanking and it disgusts me to see it.

Is anyone planing on starting a game thread for the game being played tonight?

 

I want to respect our rules and mojo stuff.

 

I'll start one if no one else does not.

What do you have against Jose Bautista?

Clay has pitched only two close to full seasons. In 2012 it was a bad one, in 2010 it was an amazing one as he had a 2.33 era. Lester has essentially had 7 full seasons (assuming he doesnt get injured this year) and only one was bad.

 

Papi, Lester is the only good pitcher Boston has developed in their system since Prune Face and his cohorts took over the team. Just take a look at the plethora of miserable excuses we've had for pitching prospects who fell flat on their faces. Believe me, it isn't just Doubrant and Buchholz. How about Michael Bowden, Kris Johnson, Stolmy Pimental, Steve Fife, Kyle Weiland----none of whom are pitching in the Big Leagues anymore. Somewhere between Pawtucket, Portland and Boston many of our young players stagnate badly. Just look at choker Bogaerts and whiff king Bradley this year---two more pathetic hitters-not that will find playing in the Major Leagues.

Is anyone going to start a new game thread?

I'll start it Spud. I tend to be mojo-less but we'll see.

Lol. Your mojo is as good as anyone's this year.

Lol. Your mojo is as good as anyone's this year.

 

Thanks. All the mojo in the world couldn't help this team.
