Enough of this nonsense.

A.J. Burnett has had a good year and the win over the MFYs the last time out was appreciated. But at 15-2 with a 2.77 ERA, Matsuzaka has been better, even though the way he has gotten there hasn't always been easy on the eyes.

Either way, DMat will lead the Sox to victory on Sunday afternoon, the Sox will get a much needed day of rest on Monday and the beginning of the end of the Last Season of the Toilet will commence on Tuesday.

Oh, and the Twinkies just lost to the LAA, 7-5.

This is the first time I've been nervous all season long.

The injuries during the stretch run are piling on. Drew, Lowell, Beckett, and Wakefield ...

And the disappointing years are, as well. Varitek, Lugo, Buchholz, Ellisbury ...

Add the Manny SAGA to the mix, and it just doesn't seem to be our year.

Prove me wrong, Dice.






Edit: Image Added

Burnett struck out 13 Yankees the other day, I would not be shocked to see him match or exceed that today.

Boston:

Ellsbury-RF
Pedroia-2B
Ortiz-DH
Youkilis-1B
Bay-LF
Lowrie-3B
Varitek-C
Cora-SS
Crisp-CF
Matsuzaka-SP

Toronto:

Inglett-2B
Scutaro-3B
Rios-RF
Wells-CF
Lind-LF
Overbay-1B
Stairs-DH
Barajas-C
McDonald-SS
Burnett-SP

Casey better have a SEVERE case of whiplash to NOT be in the lineup today. What the fuck? He is 13-23 off this guy!


That being said..the next big game A.J. Burnett wins will be the first.

Perhaps an attic shall I seek...

I am guessing 6 k's from Bay, Tek and Crisp today.

I sure hope Dice K has his good stuff and would love to somehow see him go 7.

There's a reason why the Red Sox have a 7-game lead over the Blue Jays. It would be nice if we saw evidence of that this afternoon.

Somebody's gotta get those pictures away from Cora. This is ridiculous.

Yes yes, let's go with the exact same lineup that lost 11-0.

"David Aardsma (groin strain) and Julio Lugo (quadriceps strain) are on their way back to Boston right now and will have MRIs tomorrow to determine the severity of their injuries. Mike Lowell (right oblique strain) will be in touch with Dr. Tom Gill tomorrow to determine if he has clearance to join the team in New York to resume workouts.
First baseman Sean Casey, meanwhile, has been unavailable all season [sic -- series?] due to a stiff neck that developed three days ago after evidently sleeping wrong. The Sox seriously need to get in touch with the posturepedic people to find some new beds on the road."

I seem to recall him playing at some point.

What kind of sleep are the Sox doing that keeps injuring them?

Wow! Look at Heidi.

Screen shot?

Sorry, I don't have a way of doing that. She looks good today, though.

TC: The Blue Jays have been hitting .347 in the last 6 games, unfortunately 3 of those have been against the Red Sox.
Rice: See Lester that's a ball down in the zone you hit it high up in the air because when you're a lefty the last thing you want to see when you're struggling is a lefty because the only guy that could get me out was Vida Blue and I was 23 when I first saw Vida Blue and he had good stuff.
TC: Uh.. so Wells is leading the way for the Blue Jays offense..

That Boston team just isn't very good. 3 good hitters one average hitter and 4 corpses.

I think Pedroia, Ortiz, Youkilis, and Bay are all good hitters. Lowrie isn't bad.

Just to be really trite, because what else is there at this point: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Series win, guys - just kick ass and get it done. No excuses.

GO SOX - WIN TODAY!

Tom Caron: If Beckett goes down, though, you're talking about losing the ace of your staff. All bets are off and I'm not sure how they could do it.
Jim Rice: Well you gotta get a base hit or a little ground ball to advance the runner because I'm in a 3-1 count and I'm a home run hitter and I might try to hit a home run.

Okay, why does Jim Rice still have this job? Has he ever made sense?

Uh... are they herding sheep on the field at Rogers Centre?

I think there is beter than 50-50 chance the sox get shut out today and a decent chance 10% they get no-hit

45% chance Burnett ties the 20 strikeout in one game record.

Sorry, it's immature, but I kind of want to see some Blue Jays dusted today. They've been way too fucking comfortable.

0-2 here comes the full count

He tried to get to 3-2

Can anyone explain to me whether it's by design, or by his physical nature that Daisuke always starts off around 90-91 on his fastball, and by the 3rd or the 4th he's up to 93-94?

Why aren't we throwing at Vernon Wells yet??

Nice pitch DiceK.

TV OFF

Have a great day everyone

Jesus I get the CBC broadcast with Jim "Mr. Hocket" Huson doing the play by play.

And fucking Vernon "I can't hit any other team " Wells goes deep

Here comes third place.

Fuck this team. They suck.

Another first inning 2 run HR. How many fucking times is this going to happen?

It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon, a great day to relax and read a book. I just wanted to pop in and say...

FUCK YOU VERNON WELLS.

It's clear the Toronto announcers don't read SoSH. They've got some very strange notions about which Sox are outstanding defenders...

Vernon Wells is killing us on low fastballs, high breaking pitches, and everything else. Why the hell does he get in a groove only against us?

Just looked it up. 4 of Wells' 13 HR's this season have come against the Red Sox. A mere 30%.

Red Sox killer.

I just woke up and saw it was 2-0. I immediately assumed Wells had hit a HR. Seriously, I hate that fucker so much.

lol, nice job, Remy.

Nice job on that promo, Jerry!

Yay a hit!

30% of his homers have come in 11% of his games. Fuck that guy.

Lowrie has to hit at least a double for the Sox to score this inning

And that ends the offensive portion of our program

Hahahaha...

WEll, the word "double" was involved.

And the next chance for a besrunner will be with one out in the 4th.

Enjoy the game everybody! I'll be back for the 8th inning rally that falls short, and the 1-2-3 9th.

Lugo-esque

Seriously, this team knows EVERY FUCKING PITCH THAT'S COMING! Make some goddamn adjustments!

Another meatball from DiceK.

Hey, there's that double!
