Oh ye of little faith. It's not even the All Star game yet. They can both be beat.
Go Sox!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Jonathan blew one tonight.:confused:

Oh well, ya can't be perfect every outing. He's still awesome and I'll take him on my team (the Astros) anytime.:tu

TUES: ROCKIES 2, SOX 1

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Call the Medics! Everyone is hurt ... but still in 2nd place.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

With all the injuries they still find a way to win.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

One game out of first place!!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Let me know when it's September and we're a game out :xxx

Nice to see the yankees lose to the mariners and us beat up on the rays though :tu

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Now Varitek has a broken foot too!

Medic, medic, medic, medic -Help!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Youk injured last night. I'll be playing first tonight against the rays. Look for me standing on base with a cigar in my mouth...

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Who were those guys wearing Red Sox uniforms last night? I hardly recognised any of them. :<

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Whoever they were, they can't hit. On a positive note, Beckett had a good throwing session, Youk is still playing, and Elsbury is rejoining the club, (though not yet to play) in Toronto. Maybe they can all get healthy over the Allstar Break. Don't forget - vote for Youk!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Hello? Hello? Anybody there? Is this thing even on? Hello?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I've been busy while we moved into our new house but have been paying some attention to the boys. Injuries still are dogging this team, but at least some of the wounded are starting to come back. (even as some more go down-losing Youk really hurts)
Watched Mikey Lowell's triumphant return last night, (good for you Mikey) and now hear that Jacoby comes back tonight.
I'm still puzzled by that one...Is he a slacker? Did the club want him in Arizona? Why so long playing in Pawtucket? What do Tito and his teammates REALLY think of his VERY LONG recovery? ... I just don't know. Untill all this happened I thought he was a very talented, exciting player to watch and envisioned great things for him and the Sox. Now I question whether he will even be hear next year.
As usual - there is nothing boring about rooting for the Sox. Should be a fun series this weekend in NY. I would love to see our newly resurgent pitching shut the Evil Empire down completely for four games ... well, I can dream.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Well, no sweep in NY- just a split, but a nice couple of wins in Canada. We are still within striking distance of both the AL East and the wildcard. Hope springs eternal -so long as the pitching holds up.
Keep the faith.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Francona is making a strong case for himself as manager of the year with the way he's kept this team playing well and in contention despite the huge number of injuries to the core starting lineup.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:tpd: Now if he would only take his tiring pitchers out one batter earlier.
(see Matusaka's record as evidence)

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Or Poopiebum yesterday, who got tired before he even got one out. :r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

He said he was groggy. Sounds like bull to me. He likes to throw heat and gets shelled whenever he does that and nothing else. Idiot needs to remember that he has more than one pitch.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

So you're saying that BS stands for more than "blown save" here? :D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

It may be time to swap him and Bard. I know Papelbon would be royally pissed ... tough.
We're still only 4 1/2 games out of the wildcard ... We can't afford to carry a primadonna who has clearly lost it. Pitch a few clean eigth innings and we'll talk about getting your closer role back.
