Thunder

This team is so damn good.

Let Salty rest! Keep it up Lavarnway!

I know that. McCarver came out and dissed him.

Hey there JBJ!

Yes. At CF.

Shut the f*** up McCarver. Farrell is boosting the team's morale when saying the Shane is the best defensive RF he's seen. Don't say how much better Evans was.

Drew could have made that play.

Huff needs a Nap.

Wow, good play Ichiro. I must say.

McCarver said 16.

But is was by my man Gomes.

This is why your my favorite Gomes!

Overbay has always killed the Sox, dating back to his days with Toronto.

How great would a sweep be?

I just think he's too valuable.

See how well Lackey responds to run support?

JBJ too aggressive there.

Suck it Girardi

Napoli is hot!!!

Papi just missed one there.

Good inning Lack! Lets get him some runs now.

We can start better against this bum...

Will do.

At this point, I would only give Clay 2 starts and then rest him for the playoffs, assuming he does well.
