OFF THE POLE

[njingles3]

So a comeback it must be again....

[RedSoxTarheel38]

Shit.

[Bellhorn]

Fucking cheap!

[SoxFanInTheSouth]

Hey Lester,

What do you know? The leadoff walk scored.

[opes]

You have got to be kidding me.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Good evening, Sandbox denizens.

So, this week is the second round of the playoffs in my fantasy league. Jon Lester was on the waiver wire, so I plucked him in the afterglow of last night's big comeback win and gave him a start tonight. Jon went ahead and walked the first guy he faced, and just gave up a quick RBI single to Carlos Pena. My pitching stats going in were great, and the only thing that could cost me the week (and a guaranteed cash spot) is if Lester gets pounded. As I type this, he just gave up a two-run dong to Upton. The guy I'm playing must be giggling his ass off. I feared this. At 7:04, I had my finger on the button, and I was going to deactivate Lester. My faith got the best of me, as I imagined gloating about his impending gem in the 'Box tonight. The lesson, as always: Trust your gut instinct. It's almost always correct. Two base hit. Bye-bye cash.

[Sprowl]

Well, all that wonderful I am unoriginal and unfunny. Please put me out of my misery evaporated pretty quick. Lester doesn’t seem to have any idea where his pitches are going.

[njingles3]

So it's gonna be one of those nights.

[Kitchkinet]

I ate, and I cried, and I planned his death.

So it's gonna be one of those nights.

Again.

But bad luck always seems to follow lead-off walks.

[rembrat]

We got them right were we want them.

[SoxFanInTheSouth]

Shockingly, the Yankees score in the 1st inning as well. Major momentum we have going into the final 2 weeks here.

[opes]

How come we seem to pitching to an allstar team? Its the fucking Rays.

[njingles3]

Good thing Wake saved the pen last night....

[Kitchkinet]

See how costly the leadoff walk is, Lester? Don't do that again!

[hunter05]

Jesus christ

[JohnnyTheBone]

MOTHERF*CKER!

[Sprowl]

Hey Lester,

What do you know? The leadoff walk scored.

The ear-splitting shrieks of the baby Jesus are still reverberating around Fenway.

[CoRP]

This is exactly how Alex Cora planned it.

[SoxFanInTheSouth]

I'm not watching this bullshit tonight.

[njingles3]

See how costly the leadoff walk is, Lester? Don't do that again!

This implies that he'll make it out of the 1st inning.

[JohnnyTheBone]

This is exactly how Alex Cora planned it.

I'm f*cking apoplectic.

[Kitchkinet]

I'm f*cking apoplectic.

*hands you an axe* Kiss your skull goodbye?

[hunter05]

This game reeks of suck

[JohnnyTheBone]

I'm f*cking apoplectic.

THIS IS BULLSHIT!

[Bellhorn]

I know this seems feckless after last night, but I have absolutely zero confidence that today's pop-gun lineup can come back again today.

There is no such thing as a Fake Edit, I am just an idiot who can't figure out how to put a secondary thought into my posts without this crutch: Boo!

[Foulkey Reese]

Does anybody else here find it strange that SOSH has all these server problems...but has no problem letting Yankee fans have their own game threads here?

[LESDL]

This is so maddening. ARG!

[neil]

Its ok. We're just making it a competitive game for when we score 6 in one inning.

[Bellhorn]

I'm not watching this bullshit tonight.

me either. Later, fellas.

[Sprowl]

Lester seems to be dropping down below ¾ and his pitches are sailing, not darting.

[JohnnyTheBone]

*hands you an axe* Kiss your skull goodbye?

What a disaster. Worst possible scenario. I didn't need to start him, at all. Why would I possibly ruin an entire season's worth of hard work with such a questionable pitcher? The lesson, as always: Trust your gut.

[RedSoxinATL]

we're all right.... stay off the ledge fellas!

[Kitchkinet]

K.

I really don't feel like saying the "stronger than kancer" thing after that inning.

[rembrat]

me either. Later, fellas.

You are going to miss JD Drew drop kicking Edwin Jackson's nutsack. Oh and the comeback.

[Foulkey Reese]

Magic two nights in a row?

Michael Kay having a good laugh about the Drays winning as we speak

[Uncle Mumford]

Allright, we'll find out a little more about how likely they are to come back in a minute here.

[RedSoxinATL]

Magic two nights in a row?

I'd love for someone to just kick the shit out of Michael Kay!!!

[JohnnyTheBone]

Michael Kay can flat-out suck it.

Wow, I'm salty all of a sudden.

[Kitchkinet]

So wait. Are you saying the cancer is back?

Don't read into it. It means I'm disappointed in that performance.

[Foulkey Reese]

No Ellsbury or Lowell tonight is going to hurt quite a bit

Lugo leading off is an abortion

[JohnnyTheBone]

Don't read into it. It means I'm disappointed in that performance.

His 36.00 ERA not getting it done for you?

[WhatWasElTianteSmoking?]

That's ok, we all laugh at Kaye for being a douchebag so I guess we are even with him.

[Kitchkinet]

PEDROYA!

[Sprowl]

This is gonna be another degree-of-difficulty game, with the Sox playing with Lowell, Manny and Ellsbury tied behind their back.

I do have faith in the ultimate suckitude of Tampa Bay’s pitching staff. It’s the Manatee Effect.
