3 pitches...2 outs. Way to work it guys.

[Jack Sox]

This really sucks. Clay deserved better than this shit.

[DavidWellsAteNelson]

I remember why I hate Coco.

But I only hate him when he plays.

[normstalls]

another quality at bat by coco. niiiiiiiice

this team blows right now

[OCD SS]

Take some fucking pitches!

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

they should pinch hit Cash for Varitek

[SoxScout]

Youk: "fucking unbelievable"

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

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

It just seems to me that he always plays relatively deep.

[Obscure Name]

I could sure go for some Kevin Cash right now.

[normstalls]

at least papelbon is rested

[DavidWellsAteNelson]

at least Buchholz is still really, really good.

[Diamond Don Aase]

at least papelbon is rested

If only the Red Sox had faced some high-leverage innings during the past few days...

[Fratboy]

That was close I thought.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Varitek needs to send that umpire a Christmas card

[amarshal2]

I don't give a shit how this game ends. It's 1 of 162. Buchholz was fucking brilliant and the offense sucking isn't going to ruin it for me.

[Mystic Merlin]

Sigh, I liked it when the Sox had won five in a row.

Oh well, get back on the horse tomorrow...

[Fratboy]

Another fucking 1-run loss.

[SoxScout]

Not even a wimper.

At least Papi's problem is only luck, not his knee...

[Obscure Name]

AND THE Rays WIN THE WORLD SERIES.

[normstalls]

predictable

[Pearl Wilson]

I'm pretty fucking annoyed by this.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

If only the Red Sox had faced some high-leverage innings during the past few days...

Papelbon will pitch in garbage time tomorrow

[MidnightC]

Frustrating, Don? That doesn't begin to describe it.

[fletcherpost]

Tough loss.

Poor Clay.

[jtn46]

Nice job offense.

[OCD SS]

And the regression towards our pythagorean record continues...

[Fratboy]

April 26th and the FUCKING ORIOLES ARE IN FIRST PLACE.

Is this the latest a 100-loss team has ever had a lead?

[flymrfreakjar]

I believe the word is shitshow.

[Clemente38]

Nice job Clay, great pitching. If the kid gives us close to this in his outings, we'll be fine - once the offense returns.

I hate losing streaks.

[Nuf Ced]

Ah fuck it.

[jtn46]

So yeah, we just lost a series to the Rays.

[OilCanShotTupac]

That is a bitter, bitter loss.

It must be Bitter Loss Week.

Fuck.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

I don't really understand how the Sox can play consecutive 1 run games with a rested Paps in the bullpen and not use him in either.

Tito's in as much of a slump as the offense.

[InsideTheParker]

Did anybody watch the Yankees game this afternoon?
Ian Kennedy was so lost I felt sorry for him!

And the Sox have Buchholz.
Whoopee!

Good night, everybody!

[Buck Showalter]

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.

Agreed.

[templeUsox]

Is Beckett going to feel like pitching tomorrow? I know him and Matsuzaka play that kind of thing by ear nowadays.

I eagerly look forward to facing Scott Kazmir with a sweep on the line.

[Diamond Don Aase]

Papelbon will pitch in garbage time tomorrow

As long as garbage time comes in the ninth. The closer has to pitch the ninth. Papelbon is the closer. Papelbon has to pitch the ninth.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

It's moronic reasoning like this that's led to Paps not being used in this series so far.

Kazmir's not pitching tomorrow. It's Shields.

Could be worse though, at least Buchholz looked like an ace tonight.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Sigh, I liked it when the Sox had won five in a row.

You didn't like the 6th?

[amarshal2]

You people are upset? Really? Clay pitched better than I've ever seen him pitch in his life...and you guys are upset cause they lost 1 game? The step forward he seems to be taking is 10 x's as important as this one game.

Meanwhile the Yankees rotation is in shambles. Things are going to go our way.

Edited by amarshal2, 26 April 2008 - 09:04 PM.

[templeUsox]

It doesn't really matter anymore, since Edwin Jackson and Matt Garza can apparently put the clamps on our offense.

[Norm Siebern]

Fuck you you fucking twat Rays fans. Take your fucking cowbell and shove them up your shitter.

And someonme polease tell me what the fuck was wrong with the curveball striker three on Navarro that the umpire fucktwat called a fucking ball? Fucking Navarro was halfway out of the batter's box he thought it was strike three called.

next pitch he lines a fucking single. Iwamurra never should have fucking batted that fucking inning.

[rembrat]

On the bright side Buchholz was quite economical as the game went on which he has not been in prior starts.

But I’m still peeved that Buchholz threw unnecessary pitches (115 PC) in the bottom of the 8th with a well rested and probably at this point bored to death Papelbon in the bullpen.

Stop being rational! It has no place in a game thread!

I'm just mad because this is a game they should've won. I hate "wasting" great outings from any starter, and this one was spoiled by one bad pitch (with an assist by Dan Iassogna). It sucks.

But no, it's not the end of the world, and it doesn't detract from Buchholz. It just sucks.

Thank you. Buchholz was indeed tremendous tonight. His curve was sharp and he located his fastball really well. Most of the mistakes he made were with his change which was a fairly inconsistent (I believe that was a change Iwamura hit, not a curve as Remy called it). So there is indeed room for him to improve. No problem with him pitching the eighth (he absolutely blew Crawford away for the final out after giving up the HR). Nothing really wrong with the offense tonight either. Jackson was very sharp except for the control issues and I thought the Sox put up some good ABs against him - particularly the lefties. He was death to righties tonight.

Tough loss, but as you say, lots of silver lining in there.

Nah, his change was actually fantastic tonight.
