Man walking in Boston asking directions: "How do I get to Fenway?"

Man being asked: "Practice."

Man asking for directions: "Are you shiteing me? Have you seen this team?"

You hate to think 1-0 is too late already, but given the season the possibility is there., now 2-0, oops

[alsoason]

where did they come up with this stiff?

[alsoason]

MAYER AB the way of he season

[vegasbob]

Sox hitters have not been able to hit a FB all year, incuding Contreras.

Schlittler is really good but our guys are not

[alsoason]

they so suck

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Alright, break it up. Nothing to see here.

Which one?

Watching Early in the 5th now, yo just can't tell me that he comes to mound in the 1st, prepared to throw vs MLB hitters, not at all unlike Bello.

Overall he is a soft toss breaking ball guy who you can expect to give up an HR or two.

Probably over just because of who’s pitching for the Evil Empire tonight.

This is his 4th career game against the Sox.  Through 4 innings tonight, he has a career ERA of 0.71 against Boston.  He’s starting to remind me of Gaylord Perry when he was with Cleveland in the early 70s.  Sox could not touch him at all.

Well, if the Sox end up with a plus run differential, most of us will have to apologize to Breslow.

For the load of stool he put on the field? Someone once said “you are what your record says you are”. 

[a700hitter]

This is a pathetic middle of the order.

You’re really going to bash the the guy who actually hit the ball that inning (and got a double, lucky as it was).

Since when is 95 mph “soft tossing”?

You can just see these guys tense up with RISP.

[a700hitter]

Abreu has been a big disappointment.  This was a year that I expected him to take a big step forward.  The offense can’t revolve around him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Are you Schlitting me?

Nowadays, it almost is, but I agree with you.

Since 100 became the new standard.

What pitch flew into the Monster seats ?

He’s a nice 5-6 hitter.  He’s not a guy who should be in the 3 hole.

[a700hitter]

Sorry, but I am not buying that 95 mph is soft tossing.

[illinoisredsox]

Anyone else notice Durbin coaching home there, telling Rafaela which side to slide on?

He’s a guy of limited ability who knows how to play the game.

Then check his pitch mix next time they show it

And Masa shouldn't be leadoff, but these are the cards Chad's been dealt.

[a700hitter]

They are getting plenty of chances.  They need to capitalize!

 

and Durbin does!
