9/20 @ Baltimore

[Maxbialystock]

I just want a nice solid day for Sale. Guy needs some serious mojo going on before he enters the playoffs. He has been inconsistent at best since the All Star break. Hopefully a solid game from him will be just what he needs entering the playoffs. His strikeouts are still among the best in the MLB but he is giving up too many runs. Win, dance, repeat boys! And hopefully a Yankees loss will complete the night.

 

That's the real point about tonight. Yes,we definitely want/need the win, but more than that we need Sale to be Sale again.

Bogaerts SS,

Pedroia 2B,

Benintendi LF,

Betts RF,

Ramirez DH,

Travis 1B,

Marrero 3B,

Leon C,

Bradley CF.

 

and Sale LHP

 

Moreland out for Travis with a lefty starter, but of course he can get back in if a righty shows up. HanRam at DH, probably right.

 

And no Devers--Marrero instead. Hmmm.

 

Pedey back at 2b and no Holt.

Not surprised; Farrell has said he thinks a lot of the errors are due to Devers being tired. With the off day tomorrow, he should get 2 days off, which might just be enough to recharge for the final 10 games.

 

For those wondering how a 20 year old could be tired, he's played in 134 games over 3 leagues this year. It's the most he's ever played in in a season (128 least year) and he's played most of his major league games in the stress of a pennant race; there's been no easing into things.

It'll be spring training time before we get a reliable internet or TV here inFt. Myers. I would not hold any Xfbiity stock if you gave it to me. Cpmcast MAY recover, but it may take forever. I see a an AT&T type breakup as a possibility.

[bosoxmal]

Meanwhile, it just occurred to me that the average age of the new Sox Six Man Xadre is 241/2. Devers, the four "B Boys" and Vazquez will be here long after I'm gone! Who will be plaing 1B, 2B and the DH is the real mystery!

New material ffrom sunny Ft Myers:

 

I Could Not Believe My Ears

 

 

My radio cackled,

Battery half dead,

The volume so low

I could barely hear

What the guy said.

 

But he was excited

So I made my ear a cup

And bent close to hear:

That my TV company

Had gone b(t)elly-up!

Might as well get this post of the way early...

 

Miley sucks! We should be lighting this bum up!

Is this a case of reverse lock?

Sort of, yes.

CY Miley

 

Amazing how much this team is sucking.

This team? They scored 10 runs the day before yesterday, and the pitching gave up 0 runs in 11 innings yesterday. It's also only the second inning. Maybe we should give this game a little more time.

DP stands for Dustin pedroia or Double Play?

This team can't spell earned run. Hanley's take of a fastball middle middle was hard to watch.

I just wish they where able to score some runs early.

f*** yo rocket man

I thought his first pitch, outside and waist high - was the pitch he usually serves to right field.

[mvp 78]

No Moreland--Travis instead. Hmmm.

 

No Young, Travis instead

[Station 13]

Well that was very frustrating. Miley was on the ropes with wildness that inning.

[mvp 78]

Mookie Butts

[Station 13]

Didn't let Miley off the hook this time.

[mvp 78]

Marrero charged offense

[Bellhorn04]

lol

[d-money]

Now sale has to do his job and give us 7 at least.

[S5Dewey]

I'd rather see the Sox put up a couple of more in the 5th and let Sale get some rest.

[S5Dewey]

So Sale got hit "in the right upper somewhere". LOL

[S5Dewey]

Who is that guy, and how did he get Hanley's uniform??

[Station 13]

I'm giving up the idea Bogaerts will hit for power. He can't even lift the ball to the warning tracks.

True. We really need him in the playoffs.

[Thunder]

Wow, just got back from a career fair... You mean we might actually win one in 9?
