Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

Game tied 5-5 bottom of 8th
Morales relieves Lester
Triple
bounce out
Bard in
Line out
Intentional walk
pop out to short

Ross homers to give the Sox a 6-5 lead. So do you bring in Aceves or leave Bard in, who was throwing gas @ 95+ to close it out?

Acevas - or AvGas to his many fans is now in.

MIRACLE!!! he saved it!!!!

Of all the second quessing that Valentine has received the choice to start Aviles at short has so far been
a great one. With Elsbury down he done a great job filling in at leadoff

I'm happy to see some pushback in the usually idiotic local press about blaming Valentine for everything. The guy can't go out there and pitch. Aside from apologizing for rightfully calling out the Youkilis' of the world, I don't have a problem with how the guy is managing.

Can Boston show us all up, sweep another road series, and get above .500?

Is Beckett still an ace in anyone's mind but his own?

This afternoon could be fun. Who'd have thought it a couple weeks ago?

Looks like the effect of our collective negativity had worn off until that post.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd now.

So on that note . . . at least if they lose, they won't have made Youk exert himself more than he wanted.


edit: BAM! rbi hit for Ross. Too bad Punto is next. He sucks.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

No dice this time. Unfortunately, Punto really does suck.

Did he show some real hustle and slide into first?
Ok, I crack myself up....that assumes he put a ball in play.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

I give Cook credit for coming back out and pitching after a nasty gash on his leg. Showed more balls than the rest of those wimps. Can't believe how lazy this team is. Can anybody on the staff pick up the team with a complete game? How about 8 innings, one earned run or something like that? Unreal.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

Yesterday marked the first time both teams used position players since 1925 when Ty Cobb and George Sisler took the hill.
It was also the first time a Red Sox cleanup hitter went 0-8 at the plate. The low point for Gonzalez was getting struck out by a position player with two runners on and no one out. But it was God's Will, so that excuses it. Hopefully God becomes a Gonzalez fan again soon...

On the bright side, they did play Sweet Caroline to yet another *cough* sellout crowd.

Re: Sweet Valentine! The saga of the 2012 Boston Red Sox

My only hope for optimism is that they don't determine the playoff participants until after the last day of the season.

Priceless - The sellout "streak" is becoming a joke. I can remember when my Dad was flabbergasted that the Sox played to 90% of capacity in the late 70's. NOBODY did that back then.

The Indians are in town on Thursday night -- good seats are still available. Loge 132 Row MM $35 for 2 seats.
