I really like our chances with MB going to the bump. We're gonna go out there and prove that we can win a series in that hole once and for all.

 

 

RIP EM!!!!!!!

Let's kick some A's-s.!

 

RIPPPPPPPPPPPPP 'EM!!!!!!!!!!

Different team/different year. As for tomorrow he will have a plate of s*** to eat.

Buehrle 2-5 w/ a 4.01 ERA vs. the Athletics over the last 3 years.

Hey pods you've been slacking. You haven't been on your 40 posts a day pace lately.

Let's get the series win. Going 5-1 on the road would be great.

THIS GUY SAYS GO SOX!

that's you...

30 games over .500 sounds very nice.

Playing the hottest team in baseball at a park we usually find ways to lose in, nobody better to throw out there then Mark(duh).

2 of 3, means the Sox would be 3-3 at that place on the year. Not bad considering the history.

 

The Sox have the perfect man going today.

 

Also, if the Sox have another long win streak, they could possibly have 60 wins at the ASG.

 

 

Let's go Mark!

I don't want to go back to 2004. I think the title of this thread is cursed itself.

Mods?

Yeah, we lost to the Cubs that day.

Come on Mark...get er done.

Every other pitcher on our staff, to start the game thread, it seems I end up sitting here saying "Just throw strikes, go after them".

 

And then there's Mark. Where I just want to sit back and watch the show.

 

God I love watching this guy pitch. Go get em Mark. I like the idea of having 2 guys going for 20 wins in August.

Man, Pods has really become a platoon player. It's like he doesn't even start 3 games in a row anymore.

He doesn't play a lot versus lefties.

 

However, I don't mind because I'd love to have him fresh and still running down the stretch.
