08/05 Royals (Montgomery) @ Red Sox (Porcello)

[TylerD]

Another game....

 

We might win. I dunno.

[Slasher9]

magic 8ball says "most likely".

(first answer was "concentrate and try again")

[TylerD]

I hope you’re right 8 ball.

JD scratched for a sore back. Standard fair unless under championship conditions upon which meds for pain and inflammation and treatments applied trying to free up the player's back enough so he can play.

Well if we don't, there's always tomorrow.. and the next day.. and so on and so forth.

Yippy

[notin]

Let’s go there and either beat this team or enhance that draft position!!!

[notin]

Ever seen a game with such a potent pair of fifth spot hitters? Sam Travis vs Cheslor Cuthbert?

[jung]

NESN pre-game was its usual nonsensical self.

 

Talking about the crap teams we have on our schedule coming up including the Royals. Well has anybody checked out the Rays remaining schedule. They are not exactly facing any serious metal either.

 

Furthermore, when you are trying to make up ground you want games against the teams you are trying to catch. Well.....maybe not in our case because they tend to kick our asses this year. But we have I think 4 more with the Rays and 3 with the Guardians and thats it! We have 4 left with NY but we are not chasing them any longer.

At least Rick will give us an honest effort and gut out a start even without that rising FB that took him to his Cy.

 

Sale and Price don't gut out anything lately. Sale is just awful and turning into a punk while doing it. Price is awful and is already a punk. No metamorphosis necessary.

X ran through the 3rd base coach stop sign.

Oh really? I woudn't be so sure pal. Since watching Price pitch truly is a Kafkaesque experience.

[TylerD]

Porcello is going 9 tonight!

Bogie doesn't brake for small animals.

Its true that I had to pinch myself a few times during Price's last start trying to see if I was awake or asleep. Having convinced myself it was real I was forced to a feverish run to the liquor cabinet screaming the entire way..

I'm contemplating if I should watch Fever Pitch instead of this game.

[YastrzemskI]

Sorry NESN. I can't really get excited about a preseason football game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fever Pitch was just another example of how unfunny Jimmy Fallon actually is.

[TylerD]

Porcello looking decent. Offense isn’t helping.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yosemite Sam may not be a glove man, but he can certainly handle a couple of six-shooters.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Moe Lester doesn't make that play.

[TylerD]

Looks like a nice night there.

[TylerD]

There we go!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder how rare it is for a team to have the best defense in the league and at the same time be 33 games under .500?

[TylerD]

Sam Travis! 3-0!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yosemite Sam! Still an improvement over Moreland.
