Game Thread - 08/05 - Sox (Perez) at Rays (Yarbrough)

[TylerD]

Another game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Surprised to discover that MLB is presenting the SOX/Tampa game today. They had originally programmed Mets/Nats, but changed it because the Mets have their own station in my area.

 

So Tyler won't be alone this evening.

I've posted this before, but I believe for game threads that posts are more interesting when the SOX are either very good or very bad. Playing .500 baseball is boring.

On the positive side so far this season, no one has posted that the SOX should re-hire Bobby Valentine.

Agreed. Sox just haven’t been that exciting to watch this year. Not only are we losing game, we are getting blown out. Hard to get excited when we lose in the first two innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To make this pitching match-up much more fair, Yarbrough should pitch right-handed.

So far, this has been worse than 12, 14 or 15.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Arauz.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX pitching is very unique. EO, our best starter, would normally be a #3 or #4. The rest are #5's or worse. Of course, not having the fragile Eduardo doesn't help.

Yes it certainly has!!

[mvp 78]

Should have been a k, then a bb. Good to get out of because that inning looked to get out of control.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If this seasoned is cancelled, will all these posts be cancelled. I soitenly hope so.

Hell no! These are memorable.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX offense makes Charlie Chaplin movies seem loud.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hell no! These are memorable.

 

 

Then, hopefully, only mine will be erased.

[mvp 78]

Ellis Burks rules.

 

Nice to see Chavis get on again.

[mvp 78]

Verdugo!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Verdu GO-GO!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you, Charlie Chaplin.

[TylerD]

Then, hopefully, only mine will be erased.

 

On that note, Verdugo!!!!!!! 2-0

[TylerD]

By the way. Your guys Bruins are 0-2. Not pretty. Looking like they will get the penguins.

[mvp 78]

Verdugo is fun to watch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Verdugo is fun to watch.

 

Hope so, because the guy he was traded for was also fun to watch.

The 'Perfection Line' has been perfectly awful so far.

On the positive side, the Pens are a team the BRUINS have had great success against.

Highwire act

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is the most noise I've ever heard at Tropicana Mausoleum. I'm getting the Tampa feed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD still addicted to that low outside pitch. He needs to join a support group.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Perez got the lead-off guy out. We may be in trouble.

Agreed, I think bruins will take care of them!!

 

That is unless God Price takes care of the penguins.....
