Weiland - RHP (0-0, 0.00)

Notes:

• Weiland making his major league debut.
  
• I happened to start the last game thread where we won so call me supersitious for trying today, but I am desperate for anything to work...
  
• So far in July we are hitting .121 with runners in scoring position.
  
• At 14-29 we have the 2nd worst road record in MLB.
  
• We are 5-22 in the last 27 games at Fenway.

Weiland Major League debut huh?

Well then I say Sox 14, O's 2 hit shutout.

I see we're off to a good start.

I'm so #$%&ing tired of watching this POS team. I just can't help myself.

[nate22]

We could have been out of this inning without giving up a run. Same old story.

[allquixotic]

Well, at least the first inning blunders were erased by DLee's power ball. Hitting it over the green monster takes extra special strength.

And a ground rule double for Reynolds -- very nice.

Same old story with our pitching, but maybe we can shake up the rookie making his debut today. I'm sure he's shaking in his boots after giving up a 2R HR and a ground rule double with only 1 out.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO - FFENSE !!!

[nate22]

What's funny is that the only reason the Sox even have a out this inning is because Vlad can't run.

[allquixotic]

Nice slide, Reynolds! Way to hustle!

And I'm completely pickled that Robert "GIDP" Andino got a base hit in a clutch situation. WOW. This will be the Orioles' game until they pull their rookie starter. Hopefully they'll give him 5 - 6 innings (bleeding runs all the way) so he doesn't feel terrible about his first start.

Bunt, Hardy.

Bunt, Hardy.

He sort of did.

[barellano]

Typical. I've never seen a team so bad a scoring runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

[OFFNY]

He sort of did.

Yes. If he had actually bunted though, he probably would have pushed it further, enough for the runner to score from third.

[mrbig1]

Come on Nick baby.

[nevadaO]

Nice hustle Nick, but Andino better watch himself over there...
