another gagfest. sweet

[InsideTheParker]

Dammit. I was just saying to the spouse I would have taken the kid out as soon as anyone reached and let Papelbon get the other outs.
I'm sure many other armchair managers were saying the same.

[hawaiirsn]

Now that missed strike three pisses me off even more.

I just nearly picked up my computer and threw it out into my yard

[Jack Sox]

You need to be good to pimp home runs.

[ScotianSox]

Why didn't Tito go to Lopez? damn...

[OCD SS]

God that fucking sucks. Should've been out of the inning and now we're going to rely on an offense that has been shitting itself for awhile now.

[NomarRS05]

thats why we needed to score more than one fucking run though. We can still get this however.

[WayneHousieHOF]

Toughest loss of the season. ouch.

[Mystic Merlin]

I hope Iwamura gets a fastball in the face for that fucking pose.

You're Akinori fucking Iwamura.

[MidnightC]

PAIN

We will

[mabrowndog]

Remy wondering if anyone will second-guess leaving him in, though he saw no reason to pull him.

And I agree completely. He was cruising.

At least he made Crawford look stoooooooooopid. I think he was pissed.

[normstalls]

Hey, guess what? We deserve it for this pitiful display of offense. Can we blame this game on the flu too?

no question about it.
the offense is playing like complete crap. rays pitching is shutting them down. pathetic

[hawaiirsn]

If Lugo gets up in the 9th, with runners on, I call for the Cash PH

Yeah, but he pitched great even in that 8th, one bad call and one bad curve that Iwamura was clearly sitting on and he's losing. 8 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs, 9 k's is a tremendous outing. Offense hasn't helped him at all.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Why do we have Papelbon on this team?

[One Red Seat]

Tough way to lose a game. Blowouts are easier to deal with. games like this stick with you

[Diamond Don Aase]

Who is this guy in the Dunkin' Donuts commercial? Does he really pitch for the Red Sox?

[mabrowndog]

Toughest loss of the season. ouch.

Ye of little faith and early conclusions.

They play 9 innings, pal.

[Ananti]

There was no need to push the kid over 100 pitches, he's already given more than the team can ask for. Stupid stupid stupid.

[templeUsox]

Reminds of that early 2004 game with Schilling vs. the Blue Jays.

Whatever, we totally deserved this shit. The offense has completely mailed it in tonight.

[Clemente38]

Time for some folks to step up. Buchholz deserves better.

[Fratboy]

No call for that fucking bat flip. Aki deserves one between the eyes tomorrow.

[Nuf Ced]

Over? Did you say over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[normstalls]

I hope Iwamura gets a fastball in the face for that fucking pose.

You're Akinori fucking Iwamura.

he killed that ball. he has ever right to do that...

edit - not to mention it was rather clutch.

I had absolutely no problem leaving Clay in there, FWIW. He was dominant today. I doubt being "tired" had anything to do with one bad curve.

[mabrowndog]

Why do we have Papelbon on this team?

Oh, please. Are you leading the legion of second-guessers now?

Buchholz's command had only gotten stronger as the game went on. Paps (and Okajima) are just as likely to leave a mistake pitch up in the zone as Clay is.

[ragnarok725]

We are fans of the team Manny Ramirez plays for...

[Robinson Checo]

Percy will be the Sox bitch.

[One Red Seat]

I don't think you really can question leaving him in. He was still dealing. If Lopez comes in and gives up the hit, we are probably all over Tito for that move

[SpinnersRock]

1. That was indeed strike 3
2. Jacoby plays too deep
3. Tito
4. We will win

nuff said!

[templeUsox]

And btw, Buck had Navarro struck out in that inning.

[Diamond Don Aase]

Reminds of that early 2004 game with Schilling vs. the Blue Jays.

Whatever, we totally deserved this shit. The offense has completely mailed it in tonight.

No, Schilling completely lost it at the end of the game. Buchholz had not completely lost it, he just was no longer the best choice to get the last four or five outs of a one-run game.

[Mystic Merlin]

We are fans of the team Manny Ramirez plays for...

Exactly - it's a double standard, that's the way it is.

Besides...Manny Ramirez....Akinori Iwamura...Yeaaaaah.

[mabrowndog]

There was no need to push the kid over 100 pitches, he's already given more than the team can ask for. Stupid stupid stupid.

What, you too? Do you actually watch these games? Leaving him in too long had NOTHING to do with that HR. Nothing whatsoever.

[InsideTheParker]

Yeah, but he pitched great even in that 8th, one bad call and one bad curve that Iwamura was clearly sitting on and he's losing. 8 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs, 9 k's is a tremendous outing. Offense hasn't helped him at all.

Agreed. I was just thinking of the exhaustion factor, exacerbated by the bad call.

[templeUsox]

Ellsbury was playing that deep because he was told to. They are in a no doubles defense.

[Mystic Merlin]

You guys do realize that it was just a bad pitch? Right?

[Fratboy]

We are fans of the team Manny Ramirez plays for...

I can live with Papi, A-Rod, Hafner, and Ramirez do that. I'll even give you The Prince and Ryan Howard.

But AKINORI IWAMURA? Not pussy slap hitters like that. I liked him until tonight.

[rembrat]

Some folks were calling for Papelbon as soon as that single fell in RF. He hasn't pitched since Tues. Perfect time to get some work (5 outs) in and get a much needed win.

[Obscure Name]

Just get to Lugo...

[Frisbetarian]

Automate the fucking strike zone now.

That fucking cunt Iassogna missing the curve for strike three to Navarro cost us the lead.

Chinga tu madre you incompetent fuck.

[genoasalami]

At game. 111 pitches you would think a rested oki or paps would make sense. Cowbells up my ass

[Pearl Wilson]

We're not gonna win that way guys.

[Mystic Merlin]

Here comes a bunt attempt.

EDIT - Or he could do that.

[templeUsox]

Ohhhhh, so this is what happens when you leave 14 men on base.

[PedroSpecialK]

No call for that fucking bat flip. Aki deserves one between the eyes tomorrow.

That's really reserved for people who have more than 8 major league homers. What a prick.

[One Red Seat]

You guys do realize that it was just a bad pitch? Right?

Exactly...Oki, Lopez or paps could have come in and made 1 bad pitch too. It happens. It doesn't mean the kid was gassed or should have pulled. He was still strong

[Obscure Name]

Way to make him work, Coco.
