Tracy is a fckg idiot

Twin’s have been a PITA against the Sox this year.

So who would you have used?  Seriously, who?

And “anyone else” is not an answer.

[vegasbob]

Why do they play poorly at Fenway

[vegasbob]

Sox blow a 4 run and a 3 run lead in a winnable game. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To go to Fenway and sit in a wall seat for one game is about the same price I pay for a whole season of Sox games with the MLB package.

He should have removed Slaten after the first HR. He didn’t have it tonight. You could see it from miles. He’s a fckg idiot.

What? No multiple choice?

[illinoisredsox]

First runs Slaten’s allowed all year.

If you had T-Mobile like me, you would have MLB.com for free

[vegasbob]

Duran should be embarrassed to stand on first with that K

It doesn’t matter. Tracy should have removed him after the first HR. 

[iortiz]

Also, Slaten has pitched very few innings this year.

Do you get the NHL package free also?

[FredLynn]

Glad I didn’t waste my time watching these loserbums. Another loss….YAWWWWWN!

[FredLynn]

It’s best if they lose every remaining game. I’ll be cheering them on to do the right thing.

And btw, FIRE BRESLOW!

I’ll disagree after the first homer.  He had allowed the lead off single on 4 pitches and then struck out the next batter on 3 pitches.  The 10 pitch AB that ended with the Buxton homer took a ton out of him.  Still, if Contreras doesn’t let it clank off his glove, I think Mayer makes the catch and the game may have been different.

I will say that Slaten should have been lifted after the 4 pitch walk to Bell which followed the Buxton homer.

Well, Chad, unlike some other disappointments, hasn't been offered a long term contract yet.

It happens to every pitcher.  Twins are the same team that put up 11 runs in 2 innings on Crochet earlier this year.

For whatever reason, the Twins have pounded Sox pitching this year.

It isn't fair. It's 2 cities against 1.

He's only managing till the end of the season or sooner.

Oh look. Fred showed up.  What a surprise.

Either way he should have been removed. Tracy should be aware that this team doesn’t hit very often so he should have protected the win at all costs. He’s an idiot.

Got it. I’m slow but I’m not quick.

I'm surprised it was so late.
