Looks like your thread got deleted. EDIT: Nevermind, it just got moved.

No offence, but it's a bit annoying everytime someone commits an act that shows disapproval of America, that every American wants to jump the gun and exile the person. Isn't that contradicting the first amendment?

Whoever said Beckett was infallible?

Two rough outings? Yeah, he blew the game at the end of the Toronto game, but through 7 he pitched like an ace, so I wouldn't exactly call the Toronto outing a rough one. Disappointing would be the more appropriate word. Tonight was his first official rough outing, and first official loss. He'll bounce back though. I'm not going to hit the panic button over one outing. Although, I will say this, the Sox need to stop leaving a boat load of men on base.

Schill is bringing back the good karma since I brought damnation to them last night.

Thats just retro stuff. I believe I saw the same thing for Boggs when I was inside that store about a couple of weeks ago.

Good quote from Theo, and I want to see Wily Mo go deep tonight.

Wakefield seeking offensive support Boston (13-7) at Cleveland (10-9), 7:05 p.m. ET By Ian Browne / MLB.com After needing every ounce of grit to pull out a victory in the opening game of this series, the Red Sox are hoping for the same end result, but perhaps less stress, when they take on the Guardians on Wednesday night at Jacobs Field. Veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who has pitched well in his last two starts only to be on the losing end, will look for a better outcome this time around. The Guardians counter with left-hander Cliff Lee. The Red Sox have bounced back to win two in a row after losing the first two games of this nine-game road trip. The bullpen continues to pay huge dividends. Jonathan Papelbon leads the Major Leagues with nine saves, and he's getting strong setup work from Keith Foulke and Mike Timlin. "It's not like we're surprising ourselves," said Foulke. "We're just finally going out there and doing what we're supposed to be doing. I think it's only going to get better, really." That's good news for the starting pitchers. "I love our bullpen," said Red Sox ace Curt Schilling. "I love the thought that we can bring a guy who's got a couple hundred saves in to shut the door in the sixth and seventh inning. We've got power arms." Pitching matchup BOS: RHP Tim Wakefield (1-3, 3.71 ERA) Wakefield is hoping Red Sox bats come alive for him after suffering consecutive tough-luck outings. In his last start, a 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay last Thursday, the knuckleballer gave up just three runs (two earned) over eight innings, allowing just four hits in the process. But for the third time this season, he left the game with his team posting fewer than two runs. Wakefield has a 1.56 ERA in his last three starts since allowing seven runs and seven hits in his first start April 4 at Texas. CLE: LHP Cliff Lee (1-1, 2.89 ERA) Lee is coming off a disappointing outing against the Royals in which he received a no-decision. Though he was able to pitch out of a couple jams in the early innings, Lee ran into trouble he couldn't get out of in the sixth, giving up three runs on three hits and losing hold of a 3-0 lead. In the end, he was touched for nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. Player to watch Mike Lowell has 10 hits in his last 25 at-bats.

Ksush, you are officially my messiah.

Agreed. I put more faith in Foulke than Timlin right now.

He had it, it just bounced off his glove. It's not like he terribly missed on the play.

I still like the shirt though haha.

I know, but Harris is there for baserunning and defense, not for offense. I agree that he should not be in the starting lineup at all, but a700 was trying to claim that Harris has no glove which is inaccurate.

Off topic, but I like your shirt. I think I remember hearing back in 2004 that Fenway Park would stop selling anti-Yankee merchandise? Is that still in play? Because I went to Fenway a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't see any of that stuff until I went about a block away from the ballpark.

Did you see his catch in center field Tonight? He robbed Boone of an extra base hit.

He won't get it back though. Not with the way Papelbon has been pitching thus far.

I maybe inaccurate with this statement, but I believe the Yankees are using Myers this year as a one out guy.

34 runs for me

I got sick of him and Bradford last year. It doesn't matter if you have two submariners if they can't pitch effectively.

Ahem, Mike Myers.

He's just enticing the Yankees to sign another Sox reject.

No, All-Star stats don't count either. It's just an exhibition game. Well no, actually IT COUNTS! For home field advantage in the World Series. Whoever came up with that idea is an idiot.

Oh jesus, another person resorting to little children jokes. I read what you typed out, but you still used the 2.16 ERA to make your point in a previous post, and I was replying to that. I think you need to start reading.

Now how am I an idiot? Other than the fact that I asked everyone if they thought Alvarez was better than Arroyo.

Come on, all is great though. Timlin with his 6th hold, and Papelbon with his league leading 9th save.
