This would be the greatest comeback in Sox history tonight.  They don't have a lick of momentum in this game, and you can tell the Astros sense this game is locked up already.

 

Probably because it is.

 

They are FLAT tonight.

ph for jon

show that again FOX, that didn't look like a homerun

I'm not one of the Friends of Judy posters, but I've long thought that main thing that keeps Garland from being a top-notch MLB pitcher is his lack of consistent toughness.  I know he's a laid-back guy, but sometimes when the game gets intense, you need to match that intensity.  Not to get annoying, but we're not facing Vlad and company anymore.  These guys have taken great swings throughout this series, and in a way, we're lucky we're up 2-0 coming into today.

 

I don't care what he is, but saying a pitcher in teh world series with 18 wins doesn't have toughness is just stupid to me. He's been awesome all year. He's had one bad game. s*** happens.

 

It has nothing to do with Jon's toughness.

We need to keep it at 4-0.

A blowout is not what you want down 2 games to none.

If the Stros are gonna catch us, we need them to sweat it out.

Plenty of pitchers succeed without showing an ounce of toughness. Let's find other things wrong with Jon like his control or consistency before attacking his character.

Like I said earlier, he's throwing mostly straight meatballs.

Would it be better if I said intensity instead of toughness? I meant it more in regards to physical attribute rather than emotional/mental attributre.

Maybe two long layoffs in a row is showing up in his command. Maybe, this woul dhave happened no matter what. Even when starters start every 5th day, sometimes they gt knocked around for no apparent reason. This game feels out of reach even tough its not. Bad feeling to have huh?

Why?  That ball was absolutely smoked.  I happen to enjoy this field, as it brings another dimension to games.

 

 

that ball has nothing to do with how crappy this park is

 

look at the dimensions, it's a joke park.

This stadium is such a piece of crap

 

 

plus the background is white... hard to tell where the ball hits????

I agree it has nothing to do with his toughness.

People say such stupid things.

If he doesn't have good stuff, he doesn't have it.

That was a double

So much more baseball to be played. We've done everything this post season except a comeback from 5 or 6 runs down. Won't that be sooooo cool?!

 

No worries y'all.

Now he gets 3 quick outs. Is Jon simply rusty and now he's gonna excel the rest of the way?

That was a double

Buck said it may have been left of the yellow homerun line. Let's see if they actually replay it like they did with all of the Sox calls.

I agree with whoever said something about getting Duque, Marte, and Hermanson some work tonight.

We've come back from 4-0 against a pitcher that seemed to be in control in the postseason. I know it's a much different pitcher on the mound but I find it hard to believe that anyone would give up on this team after what they've done all season and all postseason. Whatever though, to each his own, turn off the tv if you guys think the game is over.

that was not a homerun. Finally the astros are catching some breaks. And to be honest i dont care in a game like this where it doesnt look like the sox are going to score at all. We can now stop hearing about how the sox are only winning because of all the breaks they are getting.

how bout it.

 

how cheap is it to have some ugly wall with a jagged yellow line painted on it to tell what is and what isn't a homerun. so lame.

 

and that stupid hill in center field, wtf?

In this park it is a home run.

 

Rally cruddy makes it 4-1.

YESSS, LETS GET THIS GOING.

Rally Crede gets us started in the 5th!!

Rally Crede wants to get it started.

Crede is really showing up in the postseason.

nice, 4-1

 

JOE!
