    How did Drew's ABs look?

    Better to have love and lost-- that malarkey? I love them too... so back off. I loved them for decades before you. I gave them the best years of my life.

    It hurts less if you have no expectations. I was trying to spare you the pain you were putting yourself through. You are very ungrateful.

    They took forever, but tonight they finally showed some resiliency. They gutted this out and fought for it. They wanted it. I haven't seen this in a long long while.

    In the year the Giants beat the Pats in the Super Bowl, before the NFC game against the Packers, I asked this same friend how he felt about the game. He said that only one thing worried him-- that the game would come down to a late field goal attempt or an OT attempt, because he had no confidence in the kicker. He missed one in regulation and one in OT is my recollection. My friend looked at me each time and said "what did I tell you?" Today, we did not talk baseball, because I didn't want to. The funny thing is that the only Yankee he mentioned all day was Proctor. He brought him up out of the blue and was laughing about him and how bad he sucks. When I saw him coming in, I knew good things would happen. My phone will ring at 9 am sharp and he will say: "What did I tell you?" I swear that sometimes he gives me the creeps.

    Yes!!!! The white flag!!! Proctor does suck!! My friend is never wrong about this stuff.
  7. a700hitter
    Take the white flag.

    I thought Salty might have gotten that one.
  9. a700hitter
    Is Scott Proctor coming in? I heard from my friends today that he has been awful.
  10. a700hitter
    I wish he could take some ABs for us tonight.

    If JD wins the game for the Sox tonight, we have to track down Dipre and temporarily lift his ban so he can tell us why we are such ungrateful fans.

    Football Sunday. Out with friends. Trying not to witness this.

    No, I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe in odds, and they are heavily stacked against us in this extra inning game in Yankee Stadium. Keep stressing if you must.
  14. a700hitter
    I bring the grim reality.
  15. a700hitter
    Stop stressing. This is inevitable. It doesn't matter what Tito does at this point.

    This is what a team choke looks like. They are very rare, but i watched the Mets do it in 2007 and 2008. This is what it looks like. Lots of s***** players are on the field who are completely futile, the reliable stars try doing do much to get the team to win and before you know it, they can't do anything right. Then the manager tries hunches that don't work and the whole thing snowballs. When a team starts spiraling like this, they need a top stud that can hurl a complete game shutout (like a Sandy Koufax), but they don't make those guys anymore. I went out and watched football all day... no baseball. I knew this was going to happen. I could see this unfolding 3 weeks ago and everyone said I was nuts. As recent as yesterday my son disagreed with me. I would not be surprised if we don't win another game this season if we lose tonight. Oh, well anything can happen I guess. Nah not really, not when you are forced to wheel out Wakefield in a must win game. This is the best game the Sox have played in 2 weeks and it will probably be a devastating loss. Sad. Very sad.

    I am glad we got AGon, but he needs to shut up right now and get some big hits.
  18. a700hitter
    If I wasn't so upset, this would have had me chuckling. http://lansdowneandthestreets.bandcamp.com/

    I felt certain when he stayed away from the first inning woes that he would be money today, and then he got that look and the wheels came off. If we can't take a Lester start to the bank, we're cooked. He's gone down 3 times in a row. Very distressing.

    The Angels just won and picked up a game. If we drop the double dip tomorrow and both Tampa and the Angels win, we will go into the last series in a tie with Tampa and the Angels 1 game behind. The Yanks will dump the 3 games to Tampa, so the Sox will have to sweep the O's to force a 1 game playoff. The Sox are more hapless right now than any team that I have ever watched. We are depending on Wakefield and Lackey tomorrow. Wow!!! Who is pitching game 1?
  21. a700hitter
    Who the heck knows. I'd hope that it is fatigue, but he is a big young guy and he's not even going to crack 200 innings this season. It doesn't seem like he should be worn out. I might be projecting, but he had the look of a choker on the mound today. He looked tentative. He lost his release point and command very badly. Who knows.
  22. a700hitter
    He was here the other day when we were getting bitch slapped by the Orioles I think. I could be wrong about it being the Orioles, because several teams have bitch-slapped the sox recently.

    That's right. We should be targeting Tampa's GM not their idiot, dementia medicine spokesperson, Drew Carey look-a-like manager. Their GM apparently knows a lot about pitching, because they have much more of it than we do-- and it's cheap too.

    Opinion is pretty overwhelming on this issue. He's toast. He's been toast for at least 2 seasons. It's obvious to everyone except his mother.
