[craigk217]

Yeah. Hopefully Abreu comes through with a big hit.

Or da MelkMan!

 

[craigk217]

lol ... holy sheeet. BoSox pitcher keeps aiming at The Bull.

Keep plunkin 'em & puttin them on.

 

[craigk217]

Wow ... RV puts Duke on the mound to close this one.

 

[richig07]

Oh, Shut up Hanley.

 

[richig07]

Wow ... RV puts Duke on the mound to close this one.

Keeping him there to face Hanley (who hammers lefties) makes no sense, and could have been deadly. I get doing it for the left handed lead off man.

 

[richig07]

Or da MelkMan!

Man, the timely hitting and come from behind win. Is this April? lol

 

[craigk217]

AND THIS BALL GAME IS OVAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Sweeeeeep of the mighty Red Sawx!

This was quite unexpected and hopefully the kick in the ass this team needs to get back in gear.

Four game set. We play them tomorrow, and James "Bombs Away!" Shields is on the mound. So... yeah... just saying. lol

Oh duhhhhh .... I thought this was a three gamer. Derrrrrrr

Edit: And with Shields getting trotted out there .... fuggitboutit. No sweep.

 

[richig07]

Oh duhhhhh .... I thought this was a three gamer. Derrrrrrr

Lol. Don't worry. I had to double check to make sure I was right before I responded. I guess, it can't get any worse for Shields. Just looking for a silver lining here.

This give ya any idea how bad the umps have been on OUR pitchers today? This batter in bottom of 9th after Big Papi led off with a ground rule double.

Look at pitches 1 & 3. Dumbass ump called them 'balls' which led to Robertson 'walking' the guy.

 

[craigk217]

Bases loaded top of 10th ... 0 outs .... ZERO RUNS! My gawd.

 

[craigk217]

lol ... then follow their side of the 10th up with a LEADOFF WALK ... grounder that shoulda been a DP ... then another fng WALK to a .231 utility guy .... then a walk-off single for the loss.

Had this game in hand, choked at the end, and shoulda won.

1 for 14 with RISP... Jeez... It seems like every year this is such a gigantic issue.

Somehow, in a position to win. Come on Dave.

 

[richig07]

Dave

 

[richig07]

And yes... I'm glad I couldn't watch yesterday's game. I think I would have broke something.

Really killed the momentum, and a four game sweep would have been a great way to come home feeling rejuvenated.

But... They got the W tonight against a good pitcher, and Rodon had a nice outing. The next two pitching match ups are winnable for us. Our hitting with RISP needs to be better though, golly... Need Abreu back in there.

 

[craigk217]

Dave

Big Drama Dave, even. Phewwwwwww.

Mang, what a strange game with some of the weird plays and calls by the umps ... especially the balk on Rodon. The Jays pitcher, Storen's, balk was legit.

 

[craigk217]

Welp ...

And I picked the Sox & Gonzalez to have a good day.

 

[craigk217]

BACK2BACK2BACK JACKS BY THE GOOD GUISE!!! Lawrie ... Navarro ... & Shuck! (Lawrie's was an off top of wall, inside parker).

Can't even remember ever seeing that before from the Sox.

Right back in this game, now, after serving up 5 runs to the Jays.

 

[craigk217]

Tie team record for hitting 7 dingers in one game and still lose, since Gonzo decided to serve up batting practice to the Jays.

Sure woulda been nice if more than one of those dingers weren't just solo jacks.

Gotta say, I haven't seen Gonzalez pitch horrible like this, before today. Ughhhhhh.
