They should give Craig more PT. He looks way better than he did last year.

That's not what "knowledgeable" fans would say. "Knowledgeable" fans would complain about any time given him and fret about the large contract in AAA.

Please stand with us in the rain and cold for this stupid song.

I missed some of the game.

 

Why was Masterson pulled?

93 pitches through 5. He did his job and it's miserable on the field. No reason to keep him in there.

[Thunder]

They should just call it now.

Masterson actually looked much better location wise, but his velocity is still concerning.

At one point it was announced that he was hitting 91 in the 1st inning.

Okay, thanks.

They called the game. Red Sox win 7-1 after 7 innings!!! Red Sox didn't win the series, but they didn't lose it either.

I'll take the split too since I was convinced we might not get it. Masterson pitched courageously, not all that great, but decent enough when he had to and Farrell was wise enough not to push his luck and send him out in the sixth under those inclement conditions. Someone mentioned Craig. The only way he produces anything for us is if gets some extended time in the lineup. If we are just going to pinch hit him the results will be more strikeouts and weak contact. Remember Manny Ramirez? He was one of the great hitters of the early 21st Century but absolutely sucked when called on to pinch hit during a "day off". He was something like 4 for 42---under 100. Some people cannot pinch hit effectively. With Victorino hitting about 100 maybe four five starts in a row for Alan might be an elixir.

And Thunder mojo comes up big... I told y'all I'm better than previous results show.

[d-money]

Well i am happy with the split. These division games are important. Road trip coming up.

[Northern Star]

Wei-Yen Chen is the SP for the O's, not Bruce Chen. My bad.

 

Normally I would give you s*** for this, but I made the same error first time I saw "Chen" on the back of the jersey.

If it was Bruce Chen, we would have won 13-1 instead.

Good and bad news.

[a700hitter]

All wins are good.

The guy at the office who has money on every game on every sport told me the over on this game is 9 runs.

 

I'm going with the over.

 

Come on Masterson.

The rain shortened game cost you the Over bet.

[cp176]

Boston Billy throwing out that first pitch was special for me. A Boston hero. In the day, nobody did it better than Bill.

[SoxHop]

The rain shortened game cost you the Over bet.

 

Can you beleive that. What luck.

 

Luckily I had the half game over also, so it was a push.

 

I gotta stay away from the betting guy in the office, he always gets me thinking..........

Good job Thunder!!!!

Good job Thunder!!!!

 

Thank you, ma'am! I credit it to the fact that I was in your home state on Saturday. I felt those good vibes.

You were in the fine state of VA? Cool, just remember, we are very different from WVa and Northern VA for that matter.

 

Regardless, nice job on the GT! Let's keep it going in that hell hole know as Tampa Bay!! The stadium, not the city!

VERY different. I've been to West Virginia, and I don't expect anyone will come on the site to dispute my opinion that it is a hellhole. Mainly because I doubt anyone there can type.

I had a good night sleep in White Sulfur Springs WV in 1977.

 

Of course I was exhausted from riding my motorcycle down the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway all day.

 

Otherwise the inbred young man ( much like the one playing the banjo in Deliverance ) hovering outside my motel room would have been even more disturbing.

 

White Sulfur Springs is known for two things. It is the Hometown of Sam Snead. And Spudboy slept there.

My time was spent in West Virginia, in a rather poor area, as I was helping to build houses. We visited some family in VA on the way back. My dad was born in the Newport News area, and my aunt hasn't moved far, still living in Waterford, which is near the WV border.

All I remember about the 2 weeks I spent in WV: coal mines, poverty and orange soda.

Good job with the mojo Thunder! We needed that win. Keep it going!

I don't think they have internet service in WVA.
