Ladies and Gentlemen, you're 2nd ranked MLB bullpen! 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In Lugo's last 5 starts he's pitched 24 innings and given up 23 earned runs.

[NHNative]

Looking for good game tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's a big question which team's gonna win tonight, but there's no question on who's the best everyday player in this game. And no, he doesn't play for the Sox.

Aren't we all.

Let's see if the Sox lineup can respond and overcome KCs early run

Odds are not but stuff can happen

Leadoff hit by RA, followed by next to nothing. Abreu gets a hit but a soft single.

The inability to hit needs to be exorcised

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At the TDL the Yankems traded for Luis Garcia and the Sox traded for Rutschman. That's all you really need to know.

[Bagwell Anderson]

Duran is a liability. No matter how you look at it 

[vegasbob]

Duran throws the unproductive K into the middle of the inning

And RA takes strike 3, which has been well discussed on various forums

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Roman wants to be Ted Williams, except Ted had a better eye.

[jad]

Doesn't Roman get paid to swing the bat?

 

[vegasbob]

Gray getting ripped tonight. 

Fred cannot be far away. 

This may be Rutschman or whoever is calling pitches 

[Bagwell Anderson]

Gasper had stopped swinging on his instinct.  He’s over processing and he’s not good enough to do that.  Making Lugo look like Gibson

[iortiz]

And all of the sudden we’re ending the season the way we started. We can’t even win against bad teams. Hopefully we don’t choke like in 2011.

Williams never had a 200 hit season because he refused to swing at pitches outside the strike zone. So Ted would have a season of 180 hits and 130 walks.

He without a doubt was the greatest batter of all time.  Not hitter.  He knew the value of an at bat like no other player ever

Don’t get me wrong dude could hit but that wasn’t his approach. His approach was to get on base 

[JimEd]

looks like they're mailing it in. what happened to the never-give-up fight they had 6 weeks ago?

Ted finished his career with 2600 hits and 2000 walks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lately we've been reminded what April and May looked like.

And 521 bombs

[Bagwell Anderson]

Not sure how Chad Tracy will manage through real adversity.  It was easy when he came in and they were the worst team in baseball but what’s he going to do with a team in contention that wants to make a trip to the playoffs as difficult as possible.  I guess we will see

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least Mickey knows what to do against a bad pitcher.

[FredLynn]

3-1

Losing again-to a truly terrible team. The FLOPS just waited a little longer this year to CHOKE

[FredLynn]

Story up

Next inning please

Could you please change the last name on your moniker to Krueger. You're embarrassing Fred Lynn.
