5 September starts

 

2-2

 

5.19 ERA

1.46 WHIP

.240 BAA

 

This one's no where near over fellas.

we only need 1 of 2 on the road to start this. We had a 10x better chance in game 2 then game 1 going in. this changes nothing

We need 6 or 7 good innings out of Mark tomorrow. I think if we score 6+ runs, we'll win the game.

 

Do it, guys!

Exactly. We kept it close despite Javy going out and doing what he does (6 earned)... thankfully Clayton ate up the rest of the innings.

I was encouraged to see that, unlike the in the NL, the team winning the first game of the ALDS is only 12-14 in the series.

far from over. A win tomorrow and momentum shifts to us going home for some blackout action.

never expected a win today, need mark to come up huge again tomorrow.

I'm not especially worried. This was easily the least favorable pitching matchup for us, and if we win tomorrow, we'll be in great shape heading home with the series tied.

Really? where did you see that?

 

Tomorrow is the game...and who would you rather have? It's ON now....Tampa Bay now gets to face some competent big league pitching after todays BP session.

It was shown on Red Sox/Angels last night, but I couldn't believe it.

Teams that go up 1-0 in the ALDS are 12-14; road teams that win Game 1 are 6-7 and home teams that win Game 1 are 6-7. By contrast, teams that go up 1-0 in the NLDS are 23-3.

This thing is no where from over, but today was a major disappointment.

wow. So this games really didn't mean much of anything. Series starts tomorrow when the real pitchers show up.

Ditto. This is why I'm not all that upset.

 

If we lose tomorrow, it will be tough for me to take.

Sox now have to win 3 of 4 from the cocksucking rays.

 

do it.

heard somewhere on teh radio that kazmir hasn't been able to locate his slider at all lately and because of it he has basically ditched it and is a fastball change up guy....hopefully he doesn't find it tomorrow

We need 1 win in Tampa and to hold home court.

 

We have 2 more shots at the win in Tampa, and Mark will be on the mound for both of them. Tampa has had a weakness against lefties this season (sounds familiar), let's exploit it.

if he does, Mark will need to pitch a shutout. When on, Kazmir is nasty.

I'M WITH YOU ON THIS!

but the Sox kill lefties!

I recognize the meaning behind this thread. But has Kazmir faced an offense as one dimensional as ours of late and gotten lit up? I doubt it. Our offense is the perfect medicine for a struggling pitcher.

sounds like Aybar was talking s*** to AJ -- missed that on the tv coverage. has there ever been a brawl in the playoffs?

When was this?

im down with everyone saying game 2 is a more winnable game for us.

 

One of these first 2 we have to win tho IMO. If we lose tomorrow, I do not think we have a chance. So to me - tomorrow is a HUGE game.

When was this?

read it in the suntimes and the trib mentions it - i don't know what inning, lame TBS didn't show it.
