QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 04:03 AM) you should tour the country inspiring school children. You're like Up With People. I'd like to inspire, but I just don't feel the mojo with our offense. It's another night where Minnie Minoso would have as good a chance of getting a hit as our starters.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 04:02 AM) My madness stopped after the 2005 season. I used to get so pissed about the Sox and losses. They would literally wreck me inside. But after 2005, I felt so relieved. I would get frustrated with the Sox, but not crazy angry like before. The 2005 season was a metaphorical deuce. I got really mad in April/May when we were dropping games night after night. I finally got used to it and figure, 'wake me when we get five over .500' Gotta love those who support the team financially with season ticket sales, etc. It's a tough team to support cause it's so dull offensively.

No way AJ could have gotten him at second. No way.

Uh oh. Nice bunt. We is in deep doo doo.

I can't believe how I don't get mad this year. Now frustrated, yes, but like somebody said I continue to expect us to lose each and every night.

Is a bunt coming? Or a stolen base?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 03:56 AM) Dunn has no prayer against Lindstrom. He'll be batting 2nd next inning if we hold Rockies scoreless. We are living on borrowed time. No O means no glOry.

Folks, we're not gonna win this game. I mean in what scenario could we win? The offense looks as bad as it has looked all season, especially in extra innings tonight. It is horrifically bad and that ain't no hyperbole baby. My eyes are telling me that I'm a moron for watching this horror show (on offense).

Are we even in this game? I don't get the feeling we are even competing (cept for the pitchers).

Lift and pull and pop it up. Me thinks Colorado about to put us out of our Tuesday nite misery.

Anybody finally getting frustrated? I am. Usually hits me at some point in most every game. As most of our games are close. This is maddening.

Sox need to do what the Nats did and score some runs in the visitor's half of the inning in a tie game. Is Sox offense slowly creeping to one of the worst in the AL? Does it rank near the bottom of all teams in runs scored?

Good fastball K by Matt. That was the pitch we weren't getting from him when Matt stunk in April. Our relievers have to K people once in a while. Like Sergio

Nice play on the slow roller by Lexi. One out.

I hope he makes the Rocks earn it and doesn't walk/hit anybody.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) Thornton will get the loss tonight. That, my friend, is an astute prediction. Our offense really doesn't look like it has another run in it tonight.

Puke. Righty hitter with a tap to the mound versus a lefty. Inning ova. This is not one of the Sox's finer outings of a so far sub .500 season.

Juan with a base hit. Cmon. We need a big hit. I see CQ hit into a key double play tonight with the bags loaded. When we gonna get a key hit??

Omar blown away. Two out.

Ugg, Beckham with horrible little pop to short. One out. Failed at bat vs. a lefty.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) Very nice effort by Beckham, but I question the first pitch fastball to the lefty. I wasn't trying to bag on Beckham. I meant a close play like that (and it was close) could kill us ultimately.

Uh oh, man on base one out. Plays like that often haunt our team which plays SO many close games.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2011 -> 03:01 AM) I have an urge to link to the hyperbole thread again here Face it when a team is this bad offensively you are gonna have hyperbolic type statements. You'll have to ban the entire board almost.

Sox offense is very offensive. So sad to waste the starting pitching we've had this season.

Please educate me ... a.) Will Blago be able to appeal? If not, why not? He won the first trial and govtment got another trial. b.) Do you feel Blago is a big-time crook or was his crime small in nature? c.) Will he go to a real prison? d.) Is the mop haired Blago a likeable guy to you all or a douche? My take is he's guilty and kind of dumb. I don't really see his appeal to voters. Is it the hair? I would think he would have the right to appeal though.
