I've been trying to do the gamethread for about two weeks now, but people keep starting them a couple hours after the game ends at night so I never get the chance.

 

Sorry dude, you're slackin'. The chance of starting gamethreads are very high as nobody is streaking.

Most people my age wouldn't get your pitching matchup puns, but I do. With that being said, they're still terrible. Why do all you old farts have to be so old-school? I could find things that are more modern in 1770s Philadelphia.

Let's see if we can get a 3 game winning streak. We haven't done that yet.

 

We have. Games 3, 4, and 5 of the season. Last one vs Philly, and first 2 against Yanks.

Who made the threads for those games? We need to have him/her make more threads.

Can you image?

 

This team is so off course. I keep waiting for a sustained sign of life by the offense. AS much as we complain about the pitching, it has been good enough most nights over the past two-three weeks to keep them in the game. Dead bats in the middle of the order have been a real disappointment. I think that the table setters have done a decent job. I can't remember the last time I saw so many two out hits that turned into zilch. All types of weird things.

 

Of course I have not given up on our team. I keep waiting for something, anything, to get this team moving forward. All I hope for is a chance to see a win each night. Remember that feeling of expecting the Sox to win each game? I do.

Wade "You Know I'd Walk A Thousand" Miley vs. Chi Chi "Changes" Gonzalez

 

It's been a while since we tried MY mojo, let's do this.

 

Wait, his name is Chi Chi? What is he, a f***ing panda? We have the only Panda in professional baseball.

And while I think of it, how lousy has been our right field play and production?

 

All that supposed depth and we have the weakest RF in baseball, I believe.

 

I wasn't counting on Vic to play very much this season and it looks like that is what is happening. Too bad. Because he still can play well in all phases of the game when he is healthy enough to take the field. That bat still works and he has not lost his eye.

 

 

Castillo has been counted on to provide a spark but this was delusional thinking the way I see it. He is an undisciplined batter with questionable judgment in the field. He makes two web-gem catches one night and then the next he will misread a carom of a wall or just boot it somehow. The guy belongs in AA to learn some skills, refine others, and to learn how the game is played here.

 

Overall, it's just a mess.

 

At least Mookie and Swihart are fun to watch. Even Bogey has improved his D and has begun to show promise at the plate.

You were still dead in the '70s.

 

You'd be wise to learn how to appreciate the puns or whatever from the old farts. Life isn't all hip hop and video games "dude".

Really? Vanessa Carlton is "old-school"? That song came out when I was in high school, I'm not THAT old.

Thunder can be insufferably naive at times.

 

Youth - I can tell you what I wasn't spending my time on when I was his age. Still loved the Sox but had a few other more important items on my mind. Even in that magical summer of '67. There were just things that seemed more important to me.
