Would this be the equivelant of us starting Cotts?

Pods K looking in 3...2...1

 

only difference is that boston would pound the s*** outta us. while we're gonna make tavarez look like a hall of famer

Francona is nuts for not playing Crisp against us. Unless he is hurt.

c'mon JD lets sweep these guys right out of contention!

"Pods Your So f***ing Hot, Score a Home Run" - 16 yr girl behind me at the Sox D-Rays game, when Delmon made his debut.

Ozzie probably had her make the lineups that night.

How are we swinging right through 88 mph high sinkers?

Nice swing Jermaine...

 

Meatball down the cock, missed.

JD really in a funk. hopefully he comes out of it soon

You swing for the fence you miss a lot.

Thome misses a cookie.

low and away, book it.

Post all your wacky thoughts and first guesses here.

 

Tigers beat Seattle 6-2.

 

Twins beat Tampa 2-1.

I have one whacky thought -- f***ING WIN.

 

We're often concerned about this team failing to play to the competition, or not showing urgency until they're behind several runs late. Well, all they have to do is look at the scoreboard and realize today is a must-win. Not that it decides the season either way, but any loss which pushes ourselves out of the wild-card lead and further from the division can't be looked upon as favorable.

 

Considering Boston's battered lineup and pitching, there should be no excuse for a letdown with Garland on the mound.

So pretty much everyone for Boston is back with the exception of Ortiz, who will be back tomorrow. We're gonna get killed.

this may be the first time I ever mute Hawk and DJ. If they give Tavarez any credit for pitching a good game tonight it's off. He is bad. His ERA is 4.90, and that's with all relief appearances except one.

 

I love how RH's hit about 70 points better off of Tavarez than LH, yet there's Pods!!!

ZOMG FLY BAT!

Nice. Tavarez K's the side.

We look awesome so far.

We look awesome so far.

 

Indeed.

Thome misses a cookie.

 

What's new?

Nice approach guys. A piece of s*** pitcher K'd 3 guys.

 

Nice f***ing offense we have here now. Swing as hard as you can. I cannot wait till the day when they finally fire Walker, and hopefully this time we can actually go outside of this organization and get someone who can teach a line drive swing. Not the lift and pull crap we have seen here since 2000.

Nice swing Jermaine...

 

Meatball down the cock, missed.

 

So our strategy is to take first pitch fastball down the plate. Great approach, especially since Tavarez is the type of guy who gets more creative if he's up in the count.

Generous call on 1-1 pitch to Youkilis. Thank you.

seriously, does anyone think Thome is healthy yet? Hasn't looked good since that hammy injury. And yesterdays homerun wasn't that impressive.

It's Hawk's birthday, causing D.J. to sing.

 

Now they show Hawk's son in the booth. Is it me, or does he look like D.J.?

Jon staying low and a way... hmmm
