8/9 vs New York Yankees and the Gay-Rod retirement tour

[StephenCurry30]

I very rarely hate any pro athletes, in fact there is very few I actually hate. The hated athlete list for me consists of Alex Rodriguez, Terrell Suggs, Kobe Bryant and former Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen. A-Rod is the top of the list. I never thought I would be disappointed to see this cheating, attention-whore, douche finally retire, but here I am, sad that he can no longer suck ass for the Yankees and hurt the team. A-Rod had a lot of great moments for why he is a douche. Of course the steroids, when he slapped the Ball out of Arroyos glove, but for me A-rod is more than just a normal douche, he is THE biggest douche. I hope retirement is awful to you and I'm thrilled the Sox will not be honoring such a douche.

Now Red Sox, lets win this series and send A-rod off like the loser he is, being swept into retirement.

 

Porcello vs Severino is pitching matchup.

Also, the Red Sox and Yankees will both be playing with a chip on their shoulder, as teams around the league have come out in raving support for the fallen hero, Harambe. He was unrightfully killed two short months ago, and I am still saddened by this tragic event, especially as more news is being released by this event.

 

REST IN PEACE HARAMBE

Haha!!! I heard about 20 different people yell "REST IN PEACE HARAMBE!!!" this weekend at the Travelers Championship to get on TV. Awesome.

 

Now beat these mofos! Porcello continues his unbeaten streak at home.

this thread feels very homoerotic to me.

I'm blaming SC30 for the design.

[Slasher9]

dang. at least the org was smart enough to postpone instead of simply handing them out.

[moonslav59]

Not that there is anything wrong with it, but he does seem soooo gay.

[Station 13]

Mookie leading off. Pedroia not hitting clean up. Xander day off again.

Betts, Pedroia, Ortiz, HanRam, JBJ, Shaw, Holt (SS), Leon, Benintendi. Including Leon, that's 6 lefty bats against a righty starter.

 

Hard for me to root against the Yankees and ARod both because I think ARod helped bring the Yankees down. The first contract, finishing off the $250M for 10 years that started in TX, wasn't all that bad, but did mean moving him to 3B to keep Jeter at SS. But the second contract for another 10 years at $27.5M/year was insane. Then the whole business of the PED's. Then letting Cano go to Seattle followed by another insane contract with Ellsbury. The Sox had the curse of the Bambino, but maybe the Yankees have the curse of the Roderigo, who didn't do much for Seattle or Texas either. A very talented baseball player who succumbed to temptation and his own selfish nature. Clemens went the same way, but after he left Boston.

 

If money corrupts, lots and lots of money corrupts absolutely--especially athletes. At the other extreme was the great Dodger righfielder Carl Furillo, who worked in the offseason and after retirement installed elevators in the World Trade Center among other jobs.

Xander looked terrible that last game in LA. Like he didn;t want to be there. Maybe the announcers will have more news, and I hope it's simply a "planned day off."

[d-money]

They better not screw this up. They need a good homestand.

[Maxbialystock]

Slow start, but good top of the first for Porcello.

[d-money]

Hope porcello can settle down and get into a groove. This offense has to hit severino.

[d-money]

Porcello not getting any sink. Come on

[Station 13]

Jackie defense this year took a dive.

[Maxbialystock]

Great hustle by JBJ. He got all the way to first on that double. Clown. And what was he doing standing right next to the CF wall if he had no play? He looks like a rookie out there.

[Jasonbay44]

Just stare at pitches right down the middle Holt, no worries.

[Maxbialystock]

Holt loves good pitching. He can stand and watch it for hours. Three straight strikes in basically the same spot, and the bat stays right on that shoulder.

[Station 13]

Xander needed an extra day to clear his head?

 

Fire Farrell

[bosoxmal]

What in the world is Brock Holt thinking about? His next TV commercial? Swing, young man, swing! Maybe you'll get some base hits that way.

[d-money]

It will be Luis "cy" severino after tonight.

[Jasonbay44]

Porcello is giving up a lot of hard hit balls

[bowman]

Whats up with guys watching the third strike.. Son swing the bat....

[d-money]

A double parade by the stankees.

[Station 13]

It sucks over half of our hitters look worn out. Xander in particular needs a kick in the ass to get going again.

[d-money]

Farrell needs to be fired. No energy whatsoever

[Maxbialystock]

This is getting to be routine. Sox stink at the plate, regardless of how good or bad the opposing pitcher is. Other teams manages a run here and a run there against any Sox pitcher. Sox are mastering the art of losing--simply, regularly, carelessly (defense stinks too).

[Station 13]

Too many hanging pitches from Porcello.

[Jasonbay44]

Who the hell is in the booth right now?

[Wade Boggs]

Could Pedey get the big hit.
