7/30 Red Sox vs. Black Sox

[FenwayFaithful]

Figured I'd get some new blood on the GT.

 

Chris Sale (9-5, 2.85 ERA) vs. Steven Wright (3-4, 4.78 ERA)

[a700hitter]

This is a reverse lock matchup. Go Red Sox!

[mvp 78]

I just can't do this s*** tonight. It's not enjoyable anymore.

Pussy.

[a700hitter]

Two consecutive seasons of going almost wire to wire in last place is no fun at all. It's not even August and we have not had a meaningful game in a while. Thank you Ben. I can't remember a stretch this bad.

The game is in rain delay. Hurrah that means Boston might make to 8 o clock without being down by 5 runs.

[Northern Star]

I must be the only one here NOT glad about the rain delay. Come on, get this f***er started, give us our beatdown and let us go on with our lives. TEAR THE SHROUD FROM OUR EYES.

Is that what your girlfriend said?

[Northern Star]

Let's start a chant while we're waiting: WE WANT CHERRIES OUT, SAY WE WANT CHERRIES OUT.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Is that what your girlfriend said?

 

Mvp is married. So the question would be, "is that what your wife said?"

 

 

...so, yeah, probably.

If he has any sense, he's got a gf on the side, no?

Hopefully there will be a few rain delays causing a shortened outing by Sale/

[Youk Of The Nation]

I like mvp and all, but I have to figure any woman willing to put up with him for presumably the rest of her life has to be way too awesome to cheat on. Hell, that's why I never cheat. A woman who puts up with my s*** is worth her weight in Red Sox World Series rings.

I am not glad about the rain delay.

[Douglas616]

Rain delays do indeed blow.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Nor am I, however that is because it means that it's raining here too, and while I usually love the rain, I had yardwork to do and now I have to do it another day, probably a much hotter day.

Same here.

[Douglas616]

Alright, let's get on with the torture.

[Douglas616]

Was it really too much to ask for a scoreless first inning?

[Bellhorn04]

Wright's ERA is over 5 now. We have 4 starters with ERA's over 5. One really bad outing would probably put Miley's ERA over 5 too.

[Elktonnick]

Well the rain delay did delay the White Sox from scoring until after 8 at least.

[Douglas616]

Well the good news is, David Ortiz seems to remember how to use a bat as of late.

[Spudboy]

Wright's ERA is over 5 now. We have 4 starters with ERA's over 5. One really bad outing would probably put Miley's ERA over 5 too.

 

It's just under performance.

[waltr]

Rodriquez-Johnson-Owens-Miley-Porcello/Wright 4 LHP in rotation? Ainta gonna happen

[Station 13]

holy s*** this team

[Northern Star]

Rodriquez-Johnson-Owens-Miley-Porcello/Wright 4 LHP in rotation? Ainta gonna happen

 

PNC Park is arguably the only stadium where you'd ideally stack the rotation with LHPs.

[Station 13]

I don't think I've ever seen JBJ with a competent AB.

[Elktonnick]

The Sox have to be very careful with Podriquez, Owens and Johnson in September. All will probably be close to their max innings for the year.

[Douglas616]

Holy s***, Ortiz with an infield single.
