QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Porcello owns us this year. Turner is making us look pathetic. Detroit is not overrated. They've been winning at a .750 clip for the last 3 weeks. Think that'll last?

Boys, the Sox offense will rebound. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this week. But it will. And this team will start winning again.

this ump kind of blows

yay for youkilis

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 11:08 AM) dont care what kinda pitching you have at some point you have to SCORE RUNS!!!!!! This. Today could easily be a slug fest if the Sox offense wasn't in such a funk. Doesn't get any easier tomorrow night.

really should be able to score on Turner

weird how much damage has come with 2 outs this week

boom goes the dynamite

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) People have to stop talking like this. Seriously. Look at the payroll. Look at the players Kenny acquired over the years to win nothing, that actually did something in the first 84 games. This team is supposed to win games. The "would you have taken" scenarios are ridiculous. No, people don't. Don't pretend "this team is supposed to win games" like every loss or every slump is unacceptable, especially given the forecast of this team and this season.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) Every team has stretches like this. The better fans realize that their team doesn't suck. Take a poll: if you'd asked fans if they would take being .5 games out of 1st on July 21st would they take it?

I hate losing to the kitties as much as anyone, and losing 1st place. But I want this to be a close race and a fun one. There's no reason the Sox have to turtle after this road trip. s***, we've been getting by with a ton of inexperience in the bullpen and a couple of our "best" hitters going through prolonged slumps. I fully expect this to be a competitive 2nd half.

Youk, pretend you're still in Boston

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) What makes you think the kitties will cool off? I'm of the mindset that once they get comfortably in first place (2 or more games ahead), they'll play their best baseball. Because I don't think they are that good.

Kitties are hot and the Sox are not. Stay close over the next few weeks and they will cool off. Key is the Sox catching fire again.

3 hits of Rick Porcello You know, might be time to give some guys a day off tomorrow

I think that Thornton/Reed implosion has had a big impact

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) But we do have issues post asb. Everyone presses. That year, 05, was great after the ASB. The 4 game sweep of the Indians

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) Adam is a good offensive player but his. 203 average suggests he is not a good hitter. The 3 hole is supposed to be for your best hitter. His .147 in the last 10 days is terrific. But of course, he's hit 3 HR's and that's all that anybody gives a s*** about.

Great job fighting back, boys.

Atta boy Paulie!!

Adam Dunn. Such a fearsome #3 hitter. Nice job, big man. Way to get it started.

and no doubt Jacob Turner will have a great game tomorrow...LOL!

Ball game.

The Gordon Beckham march of futility carries on

Bad pitch to AJ by AJ - he's first ball fastball hitter, you idiot
