Cy Young implications in today's game?

More like 'sigh' implications.

I thought this stuff rolled off you like water off a duck. I guess you lied.

Not at all!

That stuff doesn’t bother me a bit. I can joust with anyone.

Now shall we return to the game or continue calling each other names?

Your choice….

I'll get back to you after I've thought about it.

Name calling IS more interesting than this game, which is boring as hell 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I notice the Marlins are going underwater; the state will be next.

Still not as boring as soccer.

On that we agree. Watching the paint dry is much more entertaining than soccer

[FredLynn]

Story is coming back in several weeks. Monesterio is better. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cease is obviously a good pitcher. More than a few on this forum didn't want Breslow to go after him during the off season.

Mono gets the teams first hit in the 6th but Wong massively fails by not advancing him. The simplest job for a pro .

Seigler then Ks to cap off a 0 inning

Bench Wong!

Pretty dumb move by Contreras trying to steal down five runs 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trying to steal 2nd down by 5 doesn't make much sense, IMHO.

Damn, I'm replicating a post by Fred. Where's the oven? Nevermind, it's electric.

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

They're gonna need to also take their pants off for this game.

Trying to copy perfection?

This ga.e shows what happens to Sox lineup vs a real good pitcher , like the ones you meet in the playoffs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dylan enacted a Cease and Desist order on the Sox bats today.

[vegasbob]

Pitchers trying to field are humorous

Great pitching beats all teams. You know that.

[FredLynn]

Ok

This game was over before it got started. 
Well get ‘em tomorrow 

Outta here 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess it's against the rules to have a rocking chair on the mound.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It could be worse. The Jays could start Cease again tomorrow.

[vegasbob]

So the headline will be : Sox lose 2/3rds of recent games.

They did look helpless vs Cease today

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

0.88 ERA in his last 5 starts at Fenway, so this wasn't a fluke.

Meh.  This was the best World Cup I can remember and the play was mostly brilliant.  The offsides rule is what keeps the scores so low because it heavily favors the defense.   Given that, the players are amazing, especially the passing.   To come from behind (0-1 with less than 15 min to go) Argentina's Messi had to make two terrific passes leading to two goals.  But nothing worked against Spain's excellent defense.  

Funny thing, but I also didn't hate today's game because I thought Cease was throwing great stuff.  Meanwhile the Sox defense was terrific.  I mention that because I've yet to read anyone else on Talksox agree that the defense has made a real difference this season.
