Yeah, was definitely a great game, though I would obviously have preferred a different result. Watched the first few innings, then went off to see a movie with my fiance. Got back and hopped online to check the score, only to see they are still scoreless in the twelfth. Watched the rest of the game.

**** A-Rod last night... we need Pedro Martinez back, so he can throw a fastball at his head. The curse is reversed!!!

Captain Crunch · 08-09-2009, 08:16 AM

As predicted... they threw at A-Rod last night. Come on Red Sox... lets get some runs for the pitching staff...

Bruins Fan · 08-09-2009, 08:55 AM

I think father time has caught up with the Sox,and management has done nothing to bolster the offense.
Not getting Teshera was a big blow.
Watching Tek, Lowell, and Ortiz is pathetic, Drew is a bust and Bay has done nothing after May.
they need to find someone off the waver wire and screw hurting feelings, if your not doing the job you can't complain.

Captain Crunch · 08-09-2009, 09:01 AM

I also think the Steroid accusations has really hurt the clubhouse...Bruins Fan, I agree age has def caught up with the Red Sox... the only good playes they have are Pedoria,Yukulis, & Ellsbury. Everyone else is a disgrace.

Bruins Fan · 08-09-2009, 09:17 AM

On top of that the injury's have taken there toll, a rejected Yankee farm hand playing ss, any warm body from AA ball in the outfield. and the shuttle form Pawtucket with pitchers that have never pitched in the majors thrown in key big game situations. Not good, not good at all.

Bruins Fan · 08-10-2009, 03:07 AM

Hats off to the Yanks for opening a can of woop a$$ on the home team.
Three very good pitching performances wasted.

Lets see if home cooking will get them back on the beam?

Appreciate that, John, and three of those four games were dang good on both sides. Your Sox seem to be in trouble, and from what I've seen you can't blame the starting pitchers for it. Half of your line-up appear to be DHs,1Bs, or beat-up catchers past their prime, and most of the rest are kids. You need some good veteran outfielders.

What ever happened to guys like Damon and Manny? Oh yeah - you chased them outta town.

hotreds · 08-10-2009, 01:45 PM

A little help is needed!

Bruins Fan · 08-10-2009, 03:43 PM

:What ever happened to guys like Damon and Manny? Oh yeah - you chased them outta town.:

Damon wanted to be a Yankee, he did not want to resign with the Sox.
Manny shot his way out of town beating on a 65 year old secretary, claming he was hurt but did not remember which knee was hurt?
He was refusing to get on a flight to Seattle, but did at the threat of suspension.
At a team meeting 24 out of 25 players voted to get rid of him the only vote to keep him was his own.

PeteSB75 · 08-12-2009, 06:50 AM

Hell of a game last night. Can't say I blame Youk for charging the mound, especially after getting hit for the second night in a row. Porcello raising his arms like, what'd I do? as it was happening... Good win too.

Bruins Fan · 08-12-2009, 07:10 AM

Nice tackle by Youk. Coach Belichick could use him as a linebacker

Youk must get hit more then any player in the AL?
Watch what kind of suspension , that a$$hat Bob Watson comes up with.

gettysburgfreak · 08-12-2009, 10:10 AM

hopefully youk getting nice on the Tigers last night will light a fire under the ass of the Sox. God knows they need it

Captain Crunch · 08-12-2009, 08:00 PM

Finally the Sox are starting to play better!

Bruins Fan · 08-17-2009, 02:54 PM

Time for Theo to go.
The man has spent 100 million on Cash for Clunkers.
Clement
Lugo
Renteria
Shilling last season
Varitek
J D Drew always hurt, highest paid Red Sox.
Baldelli
Penny
Wily Mo
Colon
Gagne
Mirabelli
Smoltz
Not very good with free agents.
I am sure there are more that can be added to the list?

The Poet · 08-17-2009, 03:03 PM

Well, we Yankees coulda warned you about a few of those - but you would not have listened to us.

Sad to say, I agree with you on most all of these. Theo looks to be trying to acquire talent on the cheap and it just ain't workin'

VTDragon · 08-21-2009, 09:42 AM

the good news: Swept the Blue Jays, 1st in the wild card race, Bucholtz and Lester looked great, Big Papi, Drew and Bay are hitting, everyone seems to be getting healthier, Jerry Remy is baktonight and we now have a professional shortstop.

the bad news: Beckett imploded, 7 games behind the Evil Empire, Sox are actually thinking of bringing Dice-K back this year and Texas thinks they are the 2008 Rays.

news news: Big series with the Yankees coming up. Let's hope we're still talking about taking the AL East when it's over and are not just thinking about beating Texas.

gettysburgfreak · 08-21-2009, 10:45 AM

not to mention the pitching match up favors the yankees again this series. I think the reason Beckett did poorly his last start was V Teck did not catch him, who pretty much always catches for Beckett, and John Farrell was not available that game to go over the hitters, he was back home dealing with some family issues. As a former college pitcher I know how nice it is to have the same routine before each start and Beckett didnt have that.

Bruins Fan · 08-21-2009, 11:38 AM

The bad is we have Bad Penny and a rookie pitching this series.
I don't see Penny getting to many more starts if he don't produce tonight?

The good is the Sox have a new lineup in place, and have solidified the defense.
