[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play by Nick.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa giveth and Masa taketh away.

[vegasbob]

Who knew Masa has a better arm than some L F ers ?

[iortiz]

So here we are again a year later where all the drama that gave birth to this pathetic offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Up up and away.

The entire Japanese Empire.

Sogard executes very well.

Now Duran needs to hit the ball

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For the month of May so far the Sox pitching has an ERA of 2.61.

[vegasbob]

Yes. JD does his job. A rare run for Sox. Starting to smell like a win

The Sox record in May is 7-8.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very good job by Sonny tonight.

[vegasbob]

So you're saying the Sox have won every game in May by 0.31 runs ?

[JoeBrady]

Horrible challenge.  The pitch missed by almost 3 inches, and the count was already 3-0.  It would be a bad challenge even at 3-2, but more understandable.

No, but I will if you want me to.

Yeah there’s no way Wong saw this close to the strike zone, but if so it’s seriously worrisome.

The Sox ABS challenges will improve as the weather gets warmer.

[iortiz]

We better pitch, we just reached the max run quota/game.

Schriebrr is Weisserts doppelganger including his beard and pitching motion

Yup, 3 runs seems to be the Sox offensive ceiling of late. But as the weather warms up I could see the ceiling raised to 4 runs.

We'll all get our just Weisserts by the time this season is over.

[JoeBrady]

Sloppy by KC not getting the lead runner.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox beat KC and the upcoming storm.

[vegasbob]

Nice win by Gray and Contreras.

Contributions by Masa and Gasper plus Automatic Chapman.

Good to see Slaten worked back in vs.

Weissert/Kelly

LOL. You think I'd know that

[moonslav59]

I hesitate to say maybe now is the time and place to start something, so I'll leave it unsaid.

[Old Red]

A 2 run homer, and great pitching seems to be the formula for success.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Home Run! When's the last time you can remember the Red Sox scoring on a single?

Did you know the Yankees and Red Sox have the exact same team batting average and same amount of doubles, and that New York has only more hit than Boston?

And yet the Yanks lead the league in runs scored, while the Sox are dead last... NY has scored 70 more runs than BOS...

Two facts: New York can reach the seats-- 68 HRs tops the AL -- and Boston can't -- 33 HRs bottoms the AL; and NY also leads in walks, because pitchers don't want to throw them strikes, which means there's more guys on base when a Yankee hits a pop-up to right field in the Bronx. The Red Sox, who don't know the strike zone, are second-to-last in BBs.

Breslow needs to fire all team cooks for not serving the weak Sox enough protein... and carrots!

Except that the game is in Missouri.

If a tornado were big enough it could move the stadium a few miles down the road to Kansas TBH. I believe the new stadium will be much closer to the state line as well.
