8/24 @ Tropical Tampa Bay

[Maxbialystock]

I've got a nickname for this game: s*** SHOW.

 

Neat because it alliterates the same way SPLENDIDSPLINTER does.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, I'm angry at E-rod. This guy's DL stints are becoming a habit. LAZ was never signed to be a starter, but with InjurE-Rod, this is what happens.

 

 

Oh, I also forgot Wright. Another DL about to happen.

[draws]

You're correct, but I've still blown a gasket watch the seemingly endless stream of singles flow off of the TB bats in the 3rd. I'll eventually get over it but will probably see a rise in my blood pressure every time I see Velasquez or Pom come to the mound going forward.

[Maxbialystock]

I think those stupid nicknames are a perfect match for the dumb uniforms.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There has to be somebody they can use at AAA over Pomeramz.

 

Henry Owens? Where's Henry?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Henry Owens? Where's Henry?

 

I just checked. Henry's in the Diamondbacks' organization.

[Station 13]

O's winning at least.

[Maxbialystock]

My goodness JBJ looked foolish on that at bat. Refused two curves up in the strike zone and swung hard at a fast ball well above it. Like rookie.

DRob gives up the 2-run bomb.

Jay Bay Jay is overmatch vs any LHP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX are never gong to reach .750 at this rate.

[Station 13]

DRob gives up the 2-run bomb.

 

He sure gives up some bombs at the wrong time.

[Maxbialystock]

Has Pom picked up a couple mph on his 4 seam fastball?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The more I see of Beeks pitching against us, the more that trade doesn't look so good. However, the SOX have been weak a lot this season against junk throwing LH's. So this isn't anything new.

[Gunrunner]

On the plus side, Spanks are losing to the Orioles 4-2, top of the 8th.

Faulty radar gun, perhaps?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good inning by POM.

[Slasher9]

I guess Velazquez won't be getting any more votes on the unsung heroes thread...

 

Hahahaha. +2 points hfx.

[Maxbialystock]

Leaving POM in has paid dividends. He's gone 3.1 and got them thru 6 at the cost of 2 runs on top of Velazquez's 8.

 

But that doesn't mean Cora isn't the dumbest, stupidest manager in Sox history. Nosiree. I'm sure DD is taking lots of notes and maybe already looking for a replacement. This was a rookie mistake, and in a pennant race in August you should not not, you cannot tolerate them. Off with his head.

[Slasher9]

The error by Pearce destroyed this game. I know it was called a hit but that was an E3

[Slasher9]

Cy Beeks

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

LAZ is now 7-2, which is a .778 winning percentage.

Cy Beeks

 

Thank goodness the SOX won't see him in the playoffs.

[Station 13]

This offense sucks ass when Betts isn't hitting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play by X-man. Nobody did that better than Nomar.

[Slasher9]

X-bo with a helluva play.

The thing that does irritate me about the Beeks deal is that the kid is in our organization and what are we doing...trying to rush him along...trying to get him to pitch to a ML sequence which he clearly was not ready for.....why....I don't know why. We have a really terrific rotation. So what the heck were we doing? Probably didn't know what we were doing.

 

Beeks goes to Tampa snd they just tell him "look forget all this stuff about pitches in a ML sequence. When you are ready for that we will tell you. Just go throw strikes and work your way into an assortment of pitches....the End" Look at the kid!!!!!

[Slasher9]

I want to see some grit these next 2 innings. Show me something boys.

What? Nicknames weren't enough for you?
