8/30 vs Rays

[d-money]

This team sucks. If they lose tomorrow then farrell should be fired right on the spot. Too inconsistent. A sucky rays team still gives this team issues.

I don't know what pitch leon was looking for.

 

He did just sit there like a statue didn't he...... and he is the guy you want up there right now..... that sucked.....

[bosoxmal]

I guess I'll switch to Geico. Whoops, I don't drive anymore!

[d-money]

Can't hold on to leads. They have blown so many games because of this s***** pen and because of a s***** manager.

Two oustide pitches, he's looking for something iin on the hands. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

[d-money]

f***ing frustrating watching this team lose to s***** teams.

At least when we play the Yankees, it brings back fun old memories. When we play the Rays, things just get ugly. That was a brutal slurve by their closer.

[SoxHop]

Who else would you put in the game in the 8th inning of a tied game? Ziegler can't pitch every day. Abad? Ross? Barnes? Tazawa? they all suck, which is why my dildo plan needs to happen.

 

This bullpen blows.... there's nothing he can do with this pen....... no one is safe to put out there............

 

so many dildos would be used if your plan was enacted... too many......... which is why your plan is ridiculous.....

[Station 13]

that bottom part of the order has sucked for 2 months with no end in sight.

That final at bat with Ramirez on 2B with the tying run and two men out was laden with symbolism. Leon is OK as a catcher, but now starts 3/4 games (or more) because of his bat and was pinch-hitting for Holaday because of the fact that he is better batting from the left side against a righty. Leon looked at three straight strikes without even starting a swing. Three excellent strikes, I might add, all on the outside corner. Earlier in the 9th the Rays reliever was having success with breaking balls down, but couldn't quite control them. so now he was throwing heat but not upper 90's heat. What he did have, however, was exquisite control, something none of our pitchers have although sometimes Price comes close. Contrast this at bat with the earlier one in the 8th, Buchholz against Longoria, who only pole-axed one pitch out of the park for a game-winner.

 

Did someone quote Whitey Herzog as saying that the difference between a good manager and a bad one is a great bullpen?

[a700hitter]

Buchholz needs a brain transplant. How did he let Longo hurt him with 2 strikes? Come on, that is just really bad pitching. He is the one guy in their lineup who can wreck us. And we just keep giving him the opportunity.

Yep.

[Spudboy]

Yep.

 

Longo is a Sox killer.

 

What I was pissed about is the "miata" home run. I took a piss and came back into the living room to see him at bat. .230 ish average, 2 ks in the game and one measly home run. Yup, he will go yard.

 

Then boom! I hate it when I'm right sometimes.
