Make 'em eat s*** on ESPN!

Yeah- when was the last time the Sox ate anything but a loss on ESPN?

Seriously. When was the last time they won an ESPN game?

I had no idea that we're going to be on ESPN. 

 

Hopefully the pitching and especially the offense is there tonight. 

 

 

That works for me. It beats the hell out of MLBTV.

Get your sorry butt to Chicago and ATTEND a game..

I was at the near-no-no by Washburn where Frank hit a game winner. THat was summer 03. Not sure about how many since but that's the furthest back it could go

Get your sorry butt to Chicago and ATTEND a game..   

 

 

I plan on it.

 

I'll be around for the series between us and the Angels and against Cleveland coming up here around the 1st of June. I plan on making it to at least 5 of those 6 games before I disappear into the desert again.

The Lineups are in. Dye and Iguchi both have the day off.

My problem is with Cotts being brought in after he had a train wreck of an outing when Politte hasn't pitched in forever.  If Politte was hurt then I could see but why is he not getting some work if he's healthy?

 

Is Politte hurt?

 

There's really no reason that Cotts is the first one to get the call in a two run game, regardless of him being a lefty...

Politte is fine. He just hasn't pitched in 4 games, nothing to freak out about. he pitched a scorless inning on the 11th and he pitched 1.1 innings on the 9th. He hadent pitched since the 4th before he pitched on the 9th so this is nothing new. Politte goes entire series without pitching.

Chat???

since when is ESPN blacked out...?

were we bumped from ESPN?

its on CSN... apparently...

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRE the sox going to win today???

 

That eyepatch rocks hawk!!!!

Its gotta be a local thing. Here in Arizona the Sox are on ESPN.

Get out your silverware Texas........its time to EAT s***!!!!!!!

They're blacked out in Chicago and Texas in order to increase ratings for the local stations in said cities.

Had him 0-2 then walks him...

1-0 on a mench home run.

And Delucci gets the gun trying to steal 2nd base. 1 down, Mench up to bat.

 

...

 

Ugh, meatball given up to Mench. 1-0 Texas.

This is how the bottom of the first SHOULD GO:

 

Pods singles. Steals 2nd. Willie sacrifices him to 3rd. ARow brings Pods in on a ground rule double. Kong smacks a 2 run HR. Everett and Pierz single, runners at the corners. Aaaaand Crede GIDPs, Pierz out at second End of 1, 3-1 Sox.

At least Duque learns from his mistakes. He started keeping the off speed stuff down after the dinger and he struk out 2 batters.

 

Now if we can get him to stop going 0-2 then walking the batter.

he will need to quickly learn how to not throw alot of pitches, at this pace, he will be out by the 5th

Sacks packed with Sox. Pierz up, 2 outs.

 

C'mon AJ!!! We're all behind you!
