Dempster Against Mariners, Here, Aug 1, 013

[Brahmsian]

Went to bed in the 14th inning last night. Glad to see we won, but hope tonight's game
won't be another marathon.

Dempster vs Hernandez is not a favorable match-up for us, but neither was last night's.

GO RED SOX!

I don't want to be the only one posting in this thread, so even if you disagree with me, SPEAK UP!

I noticed that the year number didn't come out right only after it was too late to correct the error.

My bad.

damn bunt running scoring!

Could be some struggling bats tonight with King Felix on the hill. Must make him pay when they have their chances.

That's why my vCash bet tonight was the "Under" rather than the Red Sox.

Being down early against Hernandez is not good, but not the end of the world.

4 walks already for Dempster?

 

[Brahmsian]

Holt should be fined for not letting Lavarnway catch that pop-up!

I am really confused on Dempster to be honest, is it the whole "coming over from the NL and find out life is harder in the AL" thing...I really thought he would be a better pitcher...I think Garza would have been the one to get from the Cubs from what I see here

 

[Brahmsian]

Anyone else for shipping Dempster to Pawtucket?

It's possible. I'd have to do some web-surfing to refresh my memory before saying any more than that.

well I just think IMO anyway, that as much as I have enjoyed seeing Lackey do pretty well (2 years ago I would have dumped him in the harbor with no regret) I think seeing Dempster doing poorly is just as much of a surprise...esp in this game

 

[Brahmsian]

Another "Dumpster" outing for Dempster.

Thank goodness we've got Lester going tomorrow.

 

[Brahmsian]

We WON this game?!?!!

If I were superstitious that would be enough to convince me that tuning in is bad luck for my team.

I was doing something else online during the 9th inning. Which might be just as well since I tend to make too much noise for my co-tenants when the Sox have a rally going.

 

[redseat]

What a game! I thought for sure when Dempster gave up that Grand Slam the Sox would lose. HOWEVER this is the difference between this years and last years team. Last years team would have totally given up and said ok we lost... Next..

I am with Brahmsian, was putting the kids to bed and flipped the channel and bam, comeback...nice to see though and nice to see the fight back in this team

 

[Brahmsian]

Can there be any doubt now that the best move of the off-season was firing Not-My-Valentine?
Or that the worst move of the previous off-season was hiring that nitwit?

NO WAY do we get that kind of rally under Farrell's immediate predecessor!
