vs. RED SOX 8/16

[Jonesy10]

Embarrassing effort after that last half inning after giving up 3 in the top half. At least ****ing try guys. Swing the ****ing bat like you actually wanna get a hit, like the 1st inning. C'mon guys you're better than that.

I will say that Tillman needs to watch Bucholz here. 8 pitches thus far, all strikes, 2 outs.

9 pitches, 3 outs.

And he actually threw fastballs on two strike counts. Tillman was allergic to that tonight.

Didn't we hammer Buchholz earlier in the year? Why does Boston's mental midget get to have a bounce back year but none of our cavalry can?

Huh? The guy had a pretty bad injury that derailed him for over a year and now he's healthy again.

It is much easier to blame Buck for that. Since, like, we have no idea who called it.

Either way it was stupid. Bunt with one of your hottest hitters up with a pitcher on the ropes and Hardy on deck. One of the dumbest decisions I have seen all year. Moronic. I can't fathom what they were thinking.

44th time in history according to wiki

Question for the next three innings.. Is it time to drill somebody? Who do we go at?

[Mondo Trasho]

I don't expect them to win every game. But I just can't bear to watch losing to the Red Sox even once.

[PolishFalcon22]

I was wondering the same thing. It was Pedroia, but still.

He barely got it to the cut-off man.

9 outs to get 4 runs.

Need 3 quick outs Lindstrom.

[FlipCup]

Look at the bright side, coming into this series we all we have been very happy with 2 of 3.

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

9 outs to get 4 runs.

Need 3 quick outs Lindstrom.

And some base runners after that..

Game is still close. I wouldn't put anybody on with 3 innings left. Maybe in the 9th depending on the score, but not now.

Amen. And giving them games is even worse.

I'm not disputing it was a dumb move, I am saying its stupid to make proclamations about who to blame at this point. Nobody knows. We aren't going to win every game, we're even going to have a losing streak or three before the season is over. I know expectations are never to lose again, but they are unrealistic.

I'll be really aggravated, even after wining the first two, if we let them get out of Baltimore with a win. Valentine is so smug. The look if indignation and righteousness on his face after having Bucholtz bean Adam Jones makes me angry.

I can't wait to see him get canned. There is something right in the world, when Buck showalter, a man not afraid of a challenge in baltimore, gets the better of Valentine, a man who thought he was too good to come here, and now continues t show how overrated he is as a major league coach.

If his coaching ability matched his ego, he'd be great.
