For the Tito defenders - how do you feel now?

Honestly - NO fucking excuse for bringing him out again. In fact, no excuse for not giving him the hook in the first after the first two runs.

[CR67dream]

This is an inexcusable mound of steamy horseshit.

Bats, you better fucking be up to this task. DO NOT ROLL OVER.

End it here, Hershi.

[scotian1]

The comeback that will take place today will go down as one of the greatest in Sox history!

[shaft]

I think I'm gonna hurl.

[cutman1000]

Might as well save the bullpen and let Clement pitch this whole game. I don't care how many pitches it takes, Clement should be forced to pitch 9 innings. What a bitch.

[joyofsox]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

pull him after 3 batters and 12 pitches?

that's a bit soon for me.

[Diamond Don Aase]

You're an idiot.

9/3 - 8 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 2 ER, 4 K
9/8 - 7.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER

Yeah, he hasn't shown up.

Clement since June:

1.44 WHIP
6.78 RA
1.29 HR/9

Yeah, but a quality start against the dead birds makes it all worth it.

[Worst Trade Evah]

Can't really blame Tito if Clement decides to take the day off. This is on Clement. I don't even blame Tito for leaving Clement into see if he can get Chavez -- it's been a huge stretch of games, and it'd be nice if Clement could eat a few innings.

[Ebbets2Fenway]

Clement + Red Jerseys = BAD OUTING.
(Patriots not exactly covering themselves with glory down in Ca'lina either)

[joyofsox]

the party starts now.

we win 12-8.

[SoxinSeattle]

I completely understand being upset with Tito's late hook but do not let that cloud the fact that this is Clement's fuck up. I don't know what is wrong with him but it is his responsibility to fix it. Damn it I am pissed. The Pats score isn't helping my Sunday any either.

[CaptainLaddie]

He had ONE bad start in June which screwed up his ERA - June 7th. The rest, he let up ER of 3, 3, 0, 1. He had a bad July, no doubt about it, but his August ERA was just fine, and until his last start in this month.

He had a bad start. Whatever.

[reggiecleveland]

God damn why can't Trot care enough about his team to go back on the juice like Giambi

[Shea Hillenbagwell]

I think calling this a bad start is somewhat of an understatement.

[CR67dream]

When's the last time we've seen this team put up double digit runs? Yeah, it's been too long.

WHY NOT TODAY????

Pound the ball.

[SoxinSeattle]

5-2 Jays.

[Pandemonium67]

At least he shat the bed early enough to give the Sox time to catch up. It won't be easy, but it's far from impossible.

[TeddyLepcio]

Roid Boy out of MF game with back spasms

[Marbleheader]

Let's go Lilly CLAP--CLAP--CLAP-CLAP-CLAP

[boxos]

if the A's were playing the Pats, they would be tied.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Clement has allowed an average of almost seven runs per nine innings since June. He has either been consistently bad (which I do not think that he has been) or all-too-frequently terrible (which I do think that he has been). Neither is a ringing endorsement.

[reggiecleveland]

He had a bad start.  Whatever.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No he didn't just have a bad start. He came out in pennant race and singlehandedly lost a game. It's not like he came out and gave up 4 runs in 4 innings, that's a bad start. This was a fucking choke job of the highest magnitude.

[Worst Trade Evah]

Follow Hershi up the highway to the peak!

[Marbleheader]

Can we just pitch Wake every other day?

[SoxinSeattle]

Attaway Gonzo. Let the come back begin.

[CR67dream]

I say this with nothing but the desire to be as unbiased as I possibly can: the Red Sox are in big, big trouble.

[Southpaw67]

Crap, I step outside to help the spouse with some heavy lifting and I come back inside to this? You have to be F'ing kidding me...was Clement throwing slow-pitch underhand?

[smastroyin]

Thank God, and I mean Thank God we have Jason Varitek to make Matt Clement a better pitcher.

Seriously, he's probably my very least favorite of the current 25. Since bitching like a pussy about not making the all star game, he has been the complete fucking suck.

[15'sCementShoes]

The SOSH Rage level right now is peaking. I have the collective targets ranked in this order.

Clement, Tito, Renteria, Nixon, KFK, Tek, Pro.

[Pearl Wilson]

I've just chopped 2 onions with a vengence. Seems to be helping. I think I'll go chop some carrots now.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just to be clear, I'm not mad at Tek, I'm more mad at all the people drinking the Tek Kool-Aid earlier in the year thinking that his tutelage was going to make Clement an ace. Which is really petty and bitter but that's about how I feel at the moment.

[Southpaw67]

What's the concensus on Clement? Did he look hurt? Mechanics? Or just plain suckitude?

Pearl onions?

I am disappointed with Tek's recent performance, but I am not angry with him. He did not run himself into the ground.

[CR67dream]

I hope Hershi goes six scoreless so DD has to give it up twice.

[OneRedSock]

Now would be a GREAT time for a GIDP in Toronto.

[TeddyLepcio]

MF's 5-3 now men on first and second one out

[joyofsox]

trivia -- who is only red sox mvp to hit under .300?

I'm hoping we hear that his dog died or something. That would be reasonable, and I might then learn to trust him again.

[CR67dream]

Mercy, this is not good.

[Southpaw67]

Manny gets it started! Trot follows through!

PS - I like the new camera stuff they've got going on, angle from the third base side.

[CR67dream]

Please, Tek, we need you.

[15'sCementShoes]

Cheer up. Delhomme just threw a screen pass to Vrabel for an easy six.

[Old Fart Tree]

bah, never mind.

Varitek making much better contact.

[CR67dream]

Man, this is getting downright scary.

[joyofsox]

clemens hit under .300 in 1986 -- could that be the answer?

oops - Q said "hitter"

it's jackie jensen in 1958

[Southpaw67]

There's a pissed-off fan who's GF is trying to cheer him up. But he looks pretty grumpy, and I don't blame him.

[SoxScout]

WTF

[Southpaw67]

Jesus.
What more can you say.

[jtn46]

This game is a nightmare. One of these teams wants to go to the playoffs, the other doesn't. Can you pick? (This is a gamethread emotional reaction post, not what I actually believe...)
