My first gamethread of the year. We need some BearSox mojo. Lets start an 8 game winning streak here!

 

Bring us home a W.

please...

win.

I am going to summon the spirt of Keyshawn Johnson here...

 

HIT THE DAMNED BALL!

Has anyone else realized Santana is like night day road to home. Hes like a 21-6 lifetime pitcher at home and 7-19 on the road. Thats pretty ridiculous.

Santana at home is a bad senario. I hope the real offense doesn't stand up, or it'll be another 3-2 loss.

Sox get a runner in scoring position. little steps.

 

Angels - 5

Sox - 0

Good news is if the Anaheim series is as ugly as we're all expecting, Bonser/Ortiz/Silva await us in Minnesota. Not automatic wins by any means, but still much more appealing without Santana mixed in.

Can we score 5 please?

Don't they have Escobar-Lackey and Colon going, missing Santana.

 

I also believe that somehow Johan Santana will pitch next week, Gardenhire always lines it up this way.

 

Scores for the next 3 days;

 

Angels 6 Sox 2 ----Escobar 7 scoreless

Angels 5 Sox 1 -----Lackey 8 innings 1 run

Angels 3 Sox 0 ----Colon 7 shutout innings ---Back end of Angels bullpen gets some work for first time in series and retires all six batters they face, 5 by strike-out.

 

I also think if Santana doesn't pitch, the Sox sweep the Twins in the dome next week.

 

FWIW

I also believe that somehow Johan Santana will pitch next week, Gardenhire always lines it up this way.

If the Twins are playing a division rival, Santana ALWAYS pitches against them.

Wake up wake up, Whoa Whoa...

Is this an obscure reference to Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony or have you been a little drinky?

For the entire series? Possibly.

Actually it's a goldfinger song I was quoting, but anywho, since I'm not exactly a hippity hoppity type guy, it could well work for some other band. And for crying out loud, it's 9:15 a.m. out here.

I know that goldfinger song. "Open you eyes" right. Anyway, lets get a win for heaven's sake!

Let's break this skid of terrible hitting and come out with a 10 to nothing win, no home runs. I know it won't happen, but it never hurts to wish for things. In reality, I see a 4 to 1 win for the Angels. That one being a home run by Dye. But prove me wrong Sox!

They're allowed to hit homeruns, hell I welcome homeruns just for once get a few guys on base then hit it out. That's all I ask.

but it never hopes to wish for things.

What does that mean?

Wake up wake up, Whoa Whoa...

 

Very nice use of Goldfinger.

Can someone just tell me the last time we had back to back hits (or walks). No seriously can someone really tell me I cant remember.

Probably the inning vs the Angels on Saturday night where we ended up getting the bases loaded and still didn't score.

The Sox haven't strung together more than three consecutive hits in an inning this season, and they haven't batted around once.

Sox will lose by a combined 16-2 this series. We'll get two off Lackey.

 

Goldfinger is one of my favs.
