They keep talking about how "sharp" Gavin was. That's scary. Because the zone is HUGE tonight and the Astros aren't a good offense.

 

If 6 IP and 4 ER vs. a team like Houston on a night where the zone is huge is the best we can hope for...that's not gonna cut it.

True Dat.

Get us started here Jordan.

Game of the mentally weak, Gavin and Alexei making two critical errors (one physical, one mental) to give the Astros a gift run.

 

Lots of hits tonight, but haven't come through in critical situations with runners in scoring position when we've had a chance to tie or take the lead.

 

11 hits to 5 for the Stros.

 

Just one of those games that go against you when you're suddenly struggling as a team. Thankfully, we escaped with the win last night or it would feel a lot worse, plus Sale's going tmrw.

Floyd's curveball was pretty awesome tonight. The rest, not so much.

Definitely. They added Prince, and a lot of people assumed they were a lock to win 100, but Martinez was huge last year, and a lot of things went right for them. It reminds me of the 1984 Sox, because the Sox rolled over everyone in 83 and added Tom Seaver the next season.

Very true and we know how 84 was for Sox.

D2!

That was a great AB for Danks. His numbers against LHP were really impressive in AAA

Nice job Jordan, very professional at bat. Will get to keep bat and ball.

Danks with a hit congrats.

Figured they'd leave Wright in, turn O-Dawg around and face DeAza.

I was at the game Saturday right behind the Seattle dugout when Prior came in and struck someone out. The catcher threw the ball to the guy next to me. It turned out it was Prior's first career K, so they needed the ball back. They gave him a ball and a bat.

Don't be such a quitter.

 

This loss would be very ugly, yes, but f*** it, we're comin' back and winning.

Nice to see danks get that first hit off a lefty

Anyone else think Fukedome has played his last game with the Sox?

JorDanks 2 AB 0 K - sample size?

Woops...forgot about Alexei.

Anyone else think Fukedome has played his last game with the Sox?

Because of a broken bat single?

Damn, thought Danks was faster than that. Alexei with another weak grounder though

Surprised Danks didn't beat that.

 

Lexi needs a whoopin' behind the barn.

Getting the groundball are these Astro hurlers

Strike one to Hudson was bogus there.

Because of a broken bat single?

No because he has not really helped the club at all.

Ho hum, another 0-4 for the 0-Dog. Please Kenny, save us from this pathetic 8-9 combo

I assumed that was sarcasm by soxfest. If not, wow.

Because of a broken bat single?

 

Not to mention a productive groundout to the right side advancing a runner from 2nd to 3rd...and Fuku's .170ish average.
