Yeah Tito's new found love of bunting is certainly a disturbing development. I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the playoffs.

Scoscia has him hypnotized

[Reggie's Racquet]

Time for the bullpen

[Rudy's Curve]

Nothing wrong with the bunt; but there was with the suck that followed.

Usually having Gonzalez bunt is a good idea, but you don't do it when both starters suck.

[RIrooter09]

No there was definitely something wrong with the bunt.

Well if Byrd coughs up a few runs here at least we'll be able to use MDC in a Low Lev. situation. This is a classic white flag game anyway. We got a W last night without Youk and V-Mart. We won't keep getting away with that.

[Ananti]

Next innings they will demonstrate how to squander a leader off triple.

But the big whopper with be the fifth when they squander a lead off homerun.

No such thing as a white flag...never give in.
You Play To Win The Game!

[Rudy's Curve]

Are you fucking kidding me Byrd?

[TFisNEXT]

Byrd gets out of it again.

[mauidano]

Angel squander=beautiful thing.

[bware]

McDonald's makes some terrible commercials

[Buzzkill Pauley]

Let the squander begin -- Ted, you're on notice this inning!

But the great thing about "Anticipating" a loss is that you're really pleasantly surprised if they win. You don't have to have as much of an emotional investment in the game! Try it sometime. It cuts down on the screaming at the TV. Works for me.

[Max Power]

I hate Mike Scoscia's "bewildered rage" face.

[Trlicek's Whip]

Scioscia just nags the umps to death with everything. That wasn't obstruction, you ass.

[RIrooter09]

WTF was he arguing about? Napoli was releasing the ball as Lowell fell in front of him.

[bostonbruen]

Looked like the Angels had a lit legit argument. Does it matter that Lowell's interference was unintentional?

[TFisNEXT]

Well that was shitty luck there.

[SemperFidelisSox]

LOL

[jtn46]

Damn. Well hit DP.

[RIrooter09]

Well that sucked.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

BaBIP giveth, and BaBIP taketh away.

Perhaps we should try not getting the lead off man on next inning and see how that works for us.

[Reggie's Racquet]

Jesus I miss VMart and Youks

[strek1]

It does matter. Needs to be intentional.


Edit....... I don't see this particular lineup doing much tonight.

[Kilgore A. Trout]

That DP made me sad.

[strek1]

Starting the 3rd time through the order for Byrd this Inning. "Danger Will Robinson, Danger!"

It's called "Expecting the Worst and Hoping for the Best". Does wonders for your blood pressure.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I believe Scocia had an argument. Not for catcher's interference, but for returning the runner to second base.

"If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire’s judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing before the catcher has securely held the ball, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, however, and no runner shall advance on the play."

WTF is this from Byrd all of the sudden?

But did he hit Napoli or did he just get in his way

[Trlicek's Whip]

That's a crappy throw by Baldelli.

[Brianish]

Oh fuck you Rocco

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

What on earth was Rico doing there?

[mBiferi]

WTF BALDELLI

[Reggie's Racquet]

Great job Rocco

[bware]

not even close

[SoxFan234]

Rocco fucking us in more than 1 way tonight.

[Jnai]

Listening to Steve Phillips identify pitches is like watching a blind guy paint.

And, man, did Abreu just kill that ball.

[TFisNEXT]

Well at least the throw by Rocco didn't matter. Abreu crushed that.

[mauidano]

How you feeling now Rocco?

[strek1]

Spoke too soon.

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Well, the good news is that Rico probably didn't cost us a run there. It likely would have scored anyway.

[RIrooter09]

Well at least the run would have scored anyway.

[GreenMountain]

Meh. Would have scored from first on that anyway.

[bware]

Byrd is already back in "throwing BP to Little Leaguers" mode

[Brianish]

Well, some comfort anyway; Aybar probably would've scored on that anyway.

[Rudy's Curve]

This is to be expected from Byrd. However, even minus V-Mart and Youks, they should be smacking this puss-throwing shitbag around.

[RIrooter09]

This is actually better than I expected from Byrd up to this point.

[TFisNEXT]

Well I don't give a shit...2 runs in 5 innings from Byrd is very nice.

Offense=suck tonight though. Hopefully they start getting to Saunders. Apparently leadoff baserunners arent good.

[Reverend]

Not to nitpick but...



...Phillips might be worse.
