9/12 SOX @ Toronto

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

J. Chacin 3-10 5.60ERA vs C. Buchholz 1-4 5.31ERA

 

Can Clay embarrass the SOX also? Don't see why not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The good news is there's only 16 games left.

The bad news is there's still 16 games left.

I'm trying to be a loyal fan and watch but damn this is getting hard..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We don't have a Chacin in hell of winning this game.

You came for the drama of a PO race; you stayed for the comedy.

"He took 100 lbs of Clay and he said what's missing?"

[jung]

Heck we stayed for the pathos.

[Station 13]

ouch, this team has not score in nearly 2 days.

s***, I haven't scored for a hell of a lot longer than that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This may turn into a throwing duel.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ hasn't quit. He's just an awful batter.

[Station 13]

Benny is a disapointment.

[TylerD]

We lead. Cool

[Slasher9]

I was at clays no-no at Fenway so will always be a fan of his....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-man is the only untainted SS to ever have 30 HR's and 50 doubles in a season.

[TylerD]

We have 3 runs. Neat

The SLUG(ger) A-rod also did it.

[Slasher9]

A rod and jeter would inject each other with steroids

No player in SOX history had his last name misspelled more than Clay.

[TylerD]

Better game than the last two.

[moonslav59]

Still glad we let Buch walk.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the Toronto feed and was informed that the Jays will be seriously looking for a good defensive CF for next season. Interesting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still glad we let Buch walk.

 

 

He does hold the distinction of being the last drafted good starter to emerge out of the SOX farm system. How sad is that?

No scheduled game tomorrow night for the SOX. Two game series at Philly starting Saturday.

At the rate MLB is going there will be a last good starter one of these days and sooner than it should be. We will be left with:

- Openers

- Featured pitchers

- What next...Un-featured pitchers

- Set up men

- Closers

 

Then there be the 1A bunch.....the ever present everyday players that always wanted to throw SOMEDAY. Someday brought on by there being nobody left to throw out of the aforementioned "A" group....or maybe somebody that is still remotely a pitcher should be referred to as the "B" group since there will be no A grade MLB pitchers left.

 

I guess that makes the everyday players that throw the 1B group. We will soon only have hope to ever see an actual pitcher of MLB quality again. As soon as the current crop led by Verlander retires, its DONE.....finished. Maybe the DeGrom generation hangs on for awhile after the Verlander group retires. That will finally be the end. The actual starter will be extinct.

 

What a cluster!

[TylerD]

I’m not sure I can spell Xander’s last name so I never put it on here.

[jung]

Uh oh jays coming back lol

 

No Problem. Work must be if anything well rested at this point. Then again, there may be no need of him by the time we actually get to the 9th inning.
