Are the Giants asking to lose? XB is probably playing an extra game now.

True...

As the president of his fan club, I suggest that Friday's GT be titled: 8/23 @ the Los Angeles Puigs, Saturday's be titled 8/24 @ Vin Scully's mansion and Sunday's be titled 8/25 @ the 42-8 club.

Really? Judging by your username and avatar, I thought your favorite player was Andrew Bailey.

Man, Vogelsong's ERA is really high. Let's go to town tonight, offense!

How old is that chap anyway?

Don't forget an indoor jacuzzi!

I heard they were asking for 35.

I want to see them shot by firing squad in downtown Manhattan.

I like Workman. He has talent, but it is still very raw. Going up against the Dodgers lineup will be tough.

Salty just can't throw out base stealers. Ross is a bit better, and a much better defensive catcher all around. He reminds me a lot of Tek.

It's there now. Not sure how long it's been up for.

All I can say is that this game is just what the doctor ordered. The Sox got it done in every aspect of the game.

He had struggled recently until last night, so I don't know. One good start is hard to tell. Keep in mind that this team is in last.

2 GIDP's... Wonder if Bogaerts can play 2B... Kidding obviously

Come on Jonny!

His delivery has taken velocity off his fastball.

He's really had only one bad and strange inning.

Shocking, depressing, etc. http://www.operationsports.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fespn.go.com%2Fcollege-sports%2Fstory%2F_%2Fid%2F9583091%2Fbaseball-player-killed-kids-were-bored Who would do something like this?

Buster Posey looks like he's my age.

This umpire has been bad, but for both teams.

Rays beat the O's. A Sox win is essential.

Vintage Lester right here.

I want to see these Sox pitchers swing away during this trip.
