Krist just bombed a home run

Dallas' offense came out flat as hell in the 4th. Screw it, put Cardinal back in.

Johnson's pitching on ESPNU. Dallas Baptist taking some good swings against him, but his fastball seems to be a legit 92 mph.

How do you not throw an offspeed pitch there

Huge DUNN!

Rios can't catch up to the fastball today.

Nice quick inning for Humber. Let's get this game tied up.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) So it seems that the only way Pierre will be removed as a starter is if KW releases him. Ozzie is incapable of benching him because it removes the fantasy of Marlins 2003. Viciedo probably gets traded this year because of the slappy nonsense. The only hope is to root for Sox wins while Pierre goes 0-5

Our hitters should get much better swings the second time against this pitcher. His motion seems to be getting our hitters off-balance.

Hawk seemed really annoyed with Pierre's pop up there.

AJP needs to call for more curveballs.

Any chance the Yankees were heavily scouting Felix Hernandez instead?

Just saw the replay of Lillibridge's catch. That's top 5 for me for the Sox in the last decade. Hell of a season for him. I liked that Ozzie stayed with Crain, as Thornton against Willingham would have been a real bad match-up. Let's go win tomorrow and enjoy Monday

Danks gives it right back. I still can't believe we are playing Dunn tonight

I can't remember the last time we had so many "pitches" to win a game. This is one of the most shocking losses we've had under the Ozzie era.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:44 AM) The same goes for you! You two probably both have stomach ulcers from all the gloom and doom you prognosticate on a daily basis. Or else you have raw genitals from all the masturbating you do when things are going poorly for us. Either way, when you or Greg are posting s*** like "oh, they are definitely going to score now. Sergio can't get anyone out," how the f*** is that refreshing to anyone other than yourselves? Personally, I don't think the bolded part is a big issue on here. That's at least talking about the game. Saying "we're never going to win again, this franchise sucks" is probably a better example. Just one pessimist's opinion.

I don't worry about the team heading into a spiral as much as I think it impacts the fan base. Let's face it, 21k at a Friday night game is PATHETIC. Our fans only show up for winners, and the more losses we have like this, the more our attendance will struggle.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:36 AM) Viciedo will be traded. That's the only logical reason he isn't up yet. There will be an epic meltdown on here if that happens. However, I disagree that it's destined to happen. Ozzie just wants Pierre in the lineup instead of him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:35 AM) This board has some of the more patient people in the world. Wish my business accepted failure like you guys do. Heads would have rolled in the real world by now. This team is a joke. A total joke. I don't get people saying the season is over. However, more than 2 months into the season, this 2011 team is still finding creative new ways to lose games. That's not a very promising theme to have. I have no doubt that the offense is improving, but they're still in a hole behind the Indians/Tigers due to their late inning struggles.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 03:32 AM) I don't see this at all. This game was over if AJ doesn't try and get cute. No one out and up 2 runs with an 0-2 count. Throw the f***ing fastball. At least come back with it on 2-2 instead of tripling them up with it for ball 3. Then the pitch selection to Matsui was curious too. Even the A's announcers were describing it as "questionable." This one is on AJ more than Serge as far as I am concerned. I've noticed AJP seems to be more stubborn than ever with regards to attacking hitters. Just like Crain vs Cabrera from last week, AJ and the pitchers need to do a better job of setting up hitters.

I'm suddenly scared we'll trade Viciedo and numerous others for Heath Bell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:28 AM) It would certainly be nice if they could respond well to it. They didn't respond well to these losses earlier this year. We won the Saturday and Sunday after the horrible Friday night loss to Tampa and the two games after the awful loss to the Dodgers.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:27 AM) Or the same ones who would have said SEE I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD COME BACK if the Sox actually did come back. Relax everyone. It hurts, yes. Santos missed his location. Second game in a row, yes. But the posts about THE BULLPEN IS IN SHAMBLES or other stuff is ridiculous. Good night. Feel better tomorrow. Wait, you don't think the bullpen is in shambles?

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 04:26 AM) Not the end of the world...but every 10 days it seems we turn two very winnable games into losses..it is getting old. I can only imagine Ozzie is going to go off the handle after this one. I think the thread should just close with the bolded part. I highly doubt anyone disagrees.

Biggest issue with our blown saves is that it seems like we've gone on to lose all but one of those games. At least we can say that when Sergio goes bad....he really goes bad.
