How is this game on Thornton? Yeah, he gave up a bomb, but after the 2 errors had sabotaged the game.

Not even pissed. It's kind of funny.

 

It's weird, but I feel good about the Sox coming back in this.

 

I don't. This ship has sailed.

Teahen delivered the 2 run hit that should have made it an automatic win.

Can't blame Matt because of the bad D, but ...

You need to start insulting me or something!!!!

 

Seriously. BigHurt, insult this man!

All but one of the runs is earned, as Fuld was given a single.

Yea, we gave them 5 outs.

Hawk the motherf***ing apologist.

 

Hey Hawk, errors happen. Pitch over them. Oh wait, you can't when you only throw a f***ing fastball.

That was a bomb.

Oh well. We blew this one (unless somehow we win).

Five unearned runs?

 

Two are earned.

Can't close with only 1 pitch. I know this game should have been over but he cant pitch over mistakes.

I'd rather kick a puppy in the face.

 

I echo the sentiments about Thornton not being suitable for a closer. I got a lot of s*** last year for saying I think Santos would be more suitable, yet I think soon we are gonna have to try going that route.

I was sitting behind Paulie playing first at the AS game when McCann hit that ball off Thornton, and had a feeling at that very moment it was going to effect him

They'll change the call on Fuld. They have to.

Two are earned.

Seriously. BigHurt, insult this man!

Gerry and Steve can agree on this!

94 mph straight fastballs from Thornton isn't going to cut it.

 

The Thorton to closer move had disaster written all over it and may go down as one of the worst personnel decisions this organization has made. You saw this in Baltimore and Minnesota last year and it is holding true through six games this year. He is Latroy Hawkins.

At least we have Humber going tomorrow.

I really think Santos or Sale needs to be the closer.

 

Probably Santos, since Sale eventually will go to the rotation.

 

They've already blown two games now in the first week when it took 86 to do that in 2005.

 

The worst thing is breathing life into TB in a four game series when Humber's going tmrw...and there's no way I am paying John Danks $16-17 million a year.

fathom's boy comming in to pitch.

any runs that happen after the would-be third out are unearned.

We've scored way too many runs to be 4-3.

Man let it go, he's been awful in the role so far.. Sale should have been the closer, there was no reason to mess with a good thing..

What about Farnsy?

Can't close with only 1 pitch. I know this game should have been over but he cant pitch over mistakes.

The Rays announcer called Thorton a one trick pony.

I'd actually like to see Santos close. I think he has the sack for it.

 

Not fully blaming Thornton, but I just don't think closing is his thing.

Hawk the motherf***ing apologist.

Hawk is a homer, but his take is the correct one here. Cmon.

whats the deal with Thornton??? someone needs to tell him a closer needs to use more than just his fastball....
