The Buch starts here.



See what I did there?

I will be taking my Grandson to his first Red Sox game

[phragle]

Buch is really good pitcher. The sample size gets bigger tomorrow.

What's important is it put today's thread back on top.

I am surprised today isn't an afternoon game.

Yeah...it's horseshit, actually. I saw this game on the schedule and wondered why the Sox were playing a night game before going halfway across the country for what might have been their biggest road series of the season.

Whatever, pound this spot starter (like they did two years ago when he was with the Braves, according to mlb.com), and get the road record back to .500.

Pipe down, son. Be thankful you are still in a position to regularly bang college chicks.

A win today would be nice since that and online campus porn is all I have going for me right now.

In all fairness, if he is posting on a red sox discussion board, he is probably not banging any college chicks.

Wow, the most damaging AB was in the first inning, when LUGO homered off this guy. Shame.

Not a blog. Good effort though.

That's not even the most shocking event from that game: Dice K went 8 innings.

Because they certainly can't hit it or pitch it.

I remember that game well. It was exciting thinking that we might see that kind of performance out of Dice more than once every 3 years or so.

Interestingly, Lerew's outing was better than his successors, giving up 3 ER over 2 innings, whereas Mark Redman and Paranto each gave up 4 ER over 1.1 innings when they were brought in after Lerew.

[bosockboy]

Jesus Pedroia was hitting 9th then. He hadn't broke through yet. Also we lost the nightcap 14-0 later that day.

Jailed fan gets conjugal visit with Red Sox in Kansas City

[budcrew08]

I will be taking my Grandson to his first Red Sox game

That's awesome. Hope he enjoys it.

[jimc]

From Boston.com:

Clay Buchholz said he will make his start as scheduled tonight despite fighting what he called a “head cold.’’ Buchholz came down with the illness Tuesday, when he felt as if his head “exploded.’’ Feeling miserable yesterday, Buchholz worried about how the cold would affect him tonight. “I’ll pitch,’’ Buchholz said. “It’s how I pitch is the question.’’ Buchholz is in the midst of the best stretch of his young career. The Red Sox have won his last seven starts, and he is 5-2 with a 2.64 ERA over his past nine.

Ruh roh.

[Al Zarilla]

Lerew, different spelling, but brought back memories of the guy below. Let's give him whiplash from all the line drives zinging past his head.

Another brilliant game thread title that kicks the Karma gods in the nuts! At least we stopped the Magic Number game thread titles. Now you just know this guy is going to pitch lights out...

[Lose Remerswaal]

As long as you're wearing your lucky underwear, RR, we'll be fine.

[joe dokes]

When I saw "Lerew," I thought of this guy:


and then this:


and finally this:

[InsideTheParker]

Hmm. I thought pitching Wake and Byrd was supposed to push everyone back a day at least. If so, then couldn't Lester pitch instead of a sickly Buchholz? Or is the opposing pitcher still so bad that who pitches for the RS doesn't matter? One can only hope so.

Why no Youk?

[TheYellowDart5]

Why no Youk?

Why bother? Give everyone as much rest as possible from here on out.

Besides, Boston shouldn't need Youkilis tonight. It's not like they're going up against Greinke again.

I agree. Next up for a rest should be Pedroia and Ellsbury.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Drew and Youkilis are getting the night off. No injuries.

[Rooster Crows]

Kick ass, Buch - a series loss to KC at this point in the season is embarassing. Keep the hits coming early and often guys.

Sorry. I guess a poor choice of words can make some people upset. Sox fans are a superstitous bunch. Surely you know this. Why wake the dead? Let the baseball Gods sleep. Deeply. Right along side of the Bambino.

Wait, you weren't being serious? I only read the first sentence of your post and then I ran around the house, unable to contain my excitement. Are you saying it was irrational exuberance? Damn.

Agreed. Maybe in my next life, I'll be able to rest before the last out of the world series is made in the Sox' favor, or we get a walkoff to win it all, but not in this one.

[strek1]

I think Tito should get a night off too. Stay at the Hotel and sack out (Or whatever) and Let Mills run the team. That way Tito can be rested "mentally" when the playoffs roll around...

Rest is for pussies!

[paulftodd]

Drew and Youkilis are getting the night off. No injuries.

Drew is no surprise, he gets rested all season. Youk you have to wonder about injury though, he has not looked right since coming back after missing 3 due to his back. That said, Youk has missed a ton of games this year for him. No problem resting guys against teams like the KCR, especially if they are banged up like Youk probably is. The red Sox never divulge injuries if they think it gives them an advantage.

The Red Sox only have 3 players on pace to start 150 games. Bay, Pedroia and Ellsbury. Pedroia has already missed more games than all of last year. Tito rests guys during the season so they will be ready for September/October.

Anyways, may Clay continue his dominance against bad teams. KCR has not done much damage with the bats except for the MDC/Bard gift and the lucky Byrd 1st, and only scored 2 runs in the last 16 innings. This should keep the Red Sox in position to get within 2 games in the all important loss column with a sweep in the toilet.

The division may be low probability thanks to losing the 1st game of this series and the MFY beating the Angels 2 of 3, but winners never quit until eliminated, and having the MFY clinch the division in the toilet with the Red Sox in town should not be acceptable to any Red Sox fan, even for those who do not care about the division. Baseball is not football, most other athletes laugh when you talk about resting baseball players, they sweat more in practice.
