It's always amusing to see how long I can go listening to the ESPN booth before I have to mute the sound ... 1 minute, 15 seconds, tonight!
2 outs after 3 pitches, way to go guys.
5 pitch first inning. Ha.
Wow. Awful quiet in here.
I'm really not that interested in this game - It's just been no fun supporting the Sox this year - why should I come in here and ruin everyones night with my crap?
I'm probably gonna watch a few innings here and there. This team has killed the joy that was once in my heart.
I will be your optimism, people. I can carry the whole damned site. The Red Sox are closer than the Mets, after all, and I still think we can make the playoffs.
Blargh. Bad pitch, good hitting.
"I say it here, it comes out there."
The monster that ate Andruw Jones seemed to think he was the actual Andruw Jones as he tried to play that in the gap.
Actually, Hersch, Francona, and, er, this guy I can never remember the name of are the best team ESPN has had in ages.
Somebody's got to be the tallest midget ... er, little person!
Nice play from that kid.
Nothing better than grounding into double plays on 3-1 counts.
Martin won't be the batter here, right?
1 pitch to a blown save. Efficient.
Well, bloody ####### mother ####### hell.
Why the #### were they using that useless camera angle?
So was the HBP on purpose?
Hey, Cap'n. Working the count is one of those signs of a good team, right?
Gonzalez didn't take long to go back to not hitting.
You know, I knew Reddick was having a good year, but I didn't check his stats until this weekend and, man... Ugh.
Well everyone kept saying it was annoying when I was posting updates, so I stopped.
FWIW, Dan, I never complained. Even judged on a 1-year basis that trade is a disaster.
The real problem for the Red Sox is that basically there's not a whole hell of a lot to be done here, aside from hope Beckett/Lester get their heads out of the fried chicken bucket. Personally I'd trade Beckett because I'm tired of the schtick. But then they'd just be tempted to dive into the FA pool and the last time they did they got back the albatross that is Lackey.
I mean, sure, I'd rather have our problems than, say, Philadelphia's, but still... There isn't an obvious pathway back to 95-97 wins (at least to me there isn't).
Ciriaco gets a Jeter-type hit to give the Red Sox the lead!
Who gets to blow this save situation?
Those fans should have interfered with Sweeney - what a lousy excuse for Yankee fans.
