My first game thread. We'll see how it goes.

 

Got a real chance to pull away from the Twinkies over the next 4 games, with the Royals series coming up after this, while Minny take on Detroit which should be a good series in it's own right. The Indians are coming too though, but let's just keep doing what we've been doing. Let's hope JC's outing goes better than his last one too, hopefully with AJ catching tonight.

Not to mention, f*** JEFF WEAVER!

Royals have been GREAT under Buddy Bell, with the exception of 2 great games pitched by the Astros, lets not overlook anyone and make sure we get at least 2 of 3 in every series!!!

Not to mention, f*** JEFF WEAVER!

I'm remembering that Weaver was the guy who started the beanball battle between the Sox and the Tigers in 2000. He hit Carlos Lee, IIRC, and was in the middle of the battle royale that followed Parque's retaliation. So, for old time's sake, how can I put this?? Oh yeah, f*** JEFF WEAVER!

But Robert Fick is our best friend this weekend as he carves up Twinkie pitching at the Hump Dome!!!

Let get the sweep!

 

 

Sweeps Away!!!

SWEEP b****ES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be in attendence with a broom onhand.

Big bounce back game for Jose tonight, he should be much better considering he got that first start out of the way after pitching in Colorado. GO SOX!!!!!1

lets go jose 7 innings 2 hits 2 bb's 6 k's and a sweep im gonna be there with my broom also!!

ESPN Insider has an interesting feature where it rates and tells all of the pitches every MLB pitcher throws.

 

When I have time, I'll be posting these for the opposing teams so Sox fans can get a good grasp on what the opposing pitcher will be featuring.

 

Tonight, Jeff Weaver...

Cubs lose!!!!! and the Twins are on their way to losing..!!!!! but the indians won again... geez

And the Twinkies did officially lose. Cleveland is hot now, but this streak of theirs will be broken soon. All streaks always are.

Jose...work fast and throw Strikes. That's all you need to focus on. Your best games this year have been when you worked fast and threw strikes. People might score a run or two off you, but if you're not giving up the walks, people will not beat you.

 

Just trust A.J. and throw the ball to his glove.

The Twins lost. Now its time to gain more ground. We need a big game out of Jose tonite- He is due! Hopefully A.J. will catch Jose tonite and Widger catches El-duque tommorow nite. Lets sweep 'em, but most importantly lets win 4 in a row! I'm going to the game tonite- but i'm not going to bring my broom. Everytime I have done that over the years- we ended up losing.

Twinkies have an off-day tomorrow as well, so if we win 2 straight games, we'll be up a good 8 games on those boys.

I am going to enjoy watching the game since it is on National TV

 

Sweep them b****es....dodgers suck

 

EAT s*** BASTAGES

My first game thread.  We'll see how it goes.

 

 

Congratulations YASNY! I knew you were destined for great things.

Will Ozzie go with a real lineup tonight since it's on national TV or will he send our scrubs our there?

Let's hope we can get that lead to 7.5 games... we are going to need it.
