The Sox without Manny or Ortiz.....It's like a AAA team out there.

 

[Triumph]

The Sox without Manny or Ortiz.....It's like a AAA team out there.

Whatever, The GREEK GOD OF WALKS is playing out there!

...aside from that, though, it is like a AAA team.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

GO PAWSOX!



Gabbard is fitting right in with the rest of the pitching staff! What a trainwreck this season has turned into. I can only hope that people get fired/traded because of this.

 

[Eminem]

Whew, Swisher just missed that.


I really dunno where the Red Sox offense is gonna come from tonight. I mean it is Loaiza, but he's been pitching well lately, and that Sox line-up...yikes

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Loaiza complete game shutout CONFIRMED.

 

[Eminem]

Loaiza complete game shutout CONFIRMED.

The fact that he had a year not long ago where he finished with an ERA around 2, 21 wins, and 2nd in Cy Young voting blows my mind.

But hey, thanks for Contreras, New York.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

A base hit for the ghost of Javy Lopez!!

TWO OUT RALLY TIME

Haha, the A's tried to turn a double play when they only needed one out.

 

[Eminem]

:lol :lol :lol unnecessary double play

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

We're so bad that we ground into double plays even when it isn't possible. It's like a whole team of Slappys.

Am I the only one who really has no idea when a pitcher commits a balk? I just can't ever spot it.

 

[Eminem]

Am I the only one who really has no idea when a pitcher commits a balk? I just can't ever spot it.

I can only tell in extreme cases. Most of the time I'm just like "uhhhhh, ok"


Boston bullpen in the 4th inning, always a good sign.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Alright! Bryan Corey time!

YOU'RE ****ED NOW A'S!

Look at Pena go!! WHAT A DIRT DOG! Let's sign him for 3 years at 150k per. Think of the value!

 

[Eminem]

Man if only the Twins could go into a funk like this

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Man if only the Twins could go into a funk like this

This isn't a funk. This team is just that bad. They have a horrible pen, and they've been ravaged by injuries at the worst possible time. Oh, and the manager is a goddamn idiot.

 

[Link]

Pena is no Lowell.

 

[R_GILL]

This isn't a funk. This team is just that bad. They have a horrible pen, and they've been ravaged by injuries at the worst possible time. Oh, and the manager is a goddamn idiot.

Welcome to my world, atleast your manager hasn't tried to get into fights with some of your players.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I wish Francona would get into a fight with Wily Mo so he would get killed.

Oh God. Jeter MVP talk. **** THIS.

 

[Eminem]

I wish Francona would get into a fight with Wily Mo so he would get killed.

Oh God. Jeter MVP talk. **** THIS.

According to Buck, "Jeter picked up the slack when they lost sheffield and "guerrero" and was helped by guys like Bubba Crosby"


Not sure where to begin with that

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Goddamn Buck is a moron. Abreu or Corey Lidle were not going to change the fact that our bullpen is garbage.

 

[Y2Kev]

OMG the red Sox stink more than my dry bag after four days on the river...

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

JEEZ, nothing goes right for this team.

Francona doesn't even care enough to argue the call anymore.

 

[Fifty]

Always nice to see Keith Foulke helping out

 

[Meier]

Repko + Ethier + Kemp = outfield of the future!

 

[NomarTyme]

Dodgers only up by one now ! ****

 

[Eminem]

Blowout games like this have made me become addicted to MTV's NeXt. what is wrong with me

 

[Meier]

Dodgers only up by one now ! ****

****in' washed up starters.. seriously, they're pathetic.

 

[NomarTyme]

****in' washed up starters.. seriously, they're pathetic.

QFT, I thought Tomko will at least be a adequate reliever.


Edit: Broxton just saved Dodgers ass so far.

 

[rc213]

Why does Little continue to insist on getting 2 innings out of the arms we have in the bullpen? How often has it backfired on him and yet he continues to throw guys out there night after night. :sigh

 

[NomarTyme]

**** YEAH, WOOT go Broxton!!!!!:lol

 

[rc213]

Damn you Broxton for nearly giving me a heart attack but Thank you for shutting the Reds down.

[Meier]

:lol Big save for the big fella.

 

[Lathentar]

Imagine if Florida wins the Wild Card.... :lol :lol :lol

 

[captmcblack]

If Florida wins the WC, it's a Yankee victory by proxy since Joltin' Joe Girardi is the manager <3

Also, Carl Pavano is the worst signing since Beltre. :-(

 

[siamesedreamer]

LOL Red Sux.....

 

[Eminem]

Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was scheduled to leave the team Tuesday and return to Boston to be examined again for an irregular heartbeat.

Big Papi was a late scratch for Boston's game Monday night at Oakland for what was first thought to be the flu. Ortiz, who on Sunday hit his major league-leading 47th home run at Seattle, already spent time in a Boston hospital earlier this month for the condition.

He said he thought it was caused by fatigue.

"He will get a clean bill of health before he plays again," manager Terry Francona said. "The games are important, but we have a responsibility to do what's right."

Said Sox reliever Mike Timlin: "It's not good. This game is nothing compared to someone's health or family. We don't play games with people's lives. I don't know any of the details. All I can do is pray for him."

Well that doesn't sound good =/

 

[vatstep]

If the A's don't sweep the Sox.. then there's something seriously wrong with the A's.

 

[Kuroyume]

At this point I don't think Papelbon will ever be in the position to get my points in the salary league ever again.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well that doesn't sound good =/

Poor Papi.

What an awful year.

 

[captmcblack]

BIG PAPI CAUGHT AIDS FROM GLAVINE :O

 

[Miguel]

David Bagwell. Soon he'll have a bum shoulder.

 

[Eminem]

How long until ESPN's BottomLine reads: "PAPI DEATHWATCH 2006, IS IT PART OF THE CURSE? "

The Boston Red Sox are actively shopping veteran pitcher David Wells to determine what they could get if they decide to trade the lefty in the next 48 hours.

I'll give you a bag of donuts

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I'll give you a bag of donuts

No deal. Wells would eat the donuts before he ever caught a flight out of Boston.

 

[Zep]

Shit...we could use Wells big ass. How would he do against NL hitting? I'd say decent!

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Wells has pitched quite well since he returned from the DL. I think he could really help some teams down the stretch.

 

[NomarTyme]

Among the contending teams that make sense as possible suitors for Wells would include the Mets, Twins, Diamondbacks, Padres, Dodgers, Phillies, Cardinals, A's and the Reds.

Yes, please!

 

[Zep]

I knew we would be in the running! Come on David, new ballpark, best young power hitter, best 2nd baseman in the NL...what else do you need!? Oh! Charlie Manuel, a coach who....is worse than Larry Bowa, cant beat that!
