[FredLynn]

Here comes the hammer

Flops lose

Again

[FredLynn]

Knew it

s*** team

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Houck deserved better tonight. 

[FredLynn]

This is a very predictable team. 

I knew the winning run was on 2B in the third inning. yesterday. And I knew they would blow this game too

[FredLynn]

Rafaela will K here

[FredLynn]

What do they say about blind squirrels?

[Oscars]

The minging bullpen ming’s yet again  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela only hits important homers. Gotta love him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What's been proven in the games I've watched is that there's too many teams and not enough quality pitching. 

Especially, when so many of the quality pitchers end up on the IL. 

This includes both starters and relievers. 

BTW, never confuse pitchers with throwers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I just wish the SOX could finish the season on the road.

Sounds like you're pissed that they won.

Like I said….this is just an awful team 

Hold your noses

the Flops will lose

Its all for the better 

Pessimism is one thing, but you have gone beyond that.  

So I can only imagine your grave disappointment when the Sox won tonight.  

I was thrilled.  I was greatly disappointed when Bernardino gave up the 3 run dinger, but not overly surprised when Kelsey gave up the tying run.  Then the Sox made a great comeback in the 9th and Martin got a nice save/win.

Martin, who actually is a pitcher, needs to stay healthy the rest of the season for the SOX to have any chance.

Because baseball is strange, Kenley gets the win.

Please FO, don't present O'Neill with a QO; he just might take it.

He’d be dumb not to take 20M.

Ugly wins still count in the win column from what I’ve heard.

Not as dumb as the FO if they offered it to him.

No such thing as ugly wins; only ugly losses.

And the SOX this season have had more than their share of ugly losses.

The pen gave up a four run lead. They do that all the time. 
I am thrilled that you are happy with the performance tonight.

I wasn’t.

The blown save sucked but Jarren Duran is absolutely awesome 

[moonslav59]

Gotta love the rebound by Houck and some other starters. We need them to be solid, going forward.

Duran is really on fire!

good to see Wong have a nice night.

good game!

Amen, brother.  I've never understood complaints about wins.  All wins are good.  The only "downer" wins are the ones when players get injured.
