I shudder to think about our AAA pitcher going tomorrow with this offense

[Nomars Last Twitch]

Runner thrown out at 2nd.

[JohntheBaptist]

This game has been surreal. We're almost literally playing a AAA team, and we're doing absolutely nothing. Time after time. Just hard to keep your hands from being fists and your fists from pounding things.

[sonsoftrotnixon]

Remember when you could sit and watch the Sox and somehow know if they were down by three runs, given an inning or two they'd (for the most part) find a way to come back.

Those were nice times.

This is not your 2003, 04 or even 2005 offense. 2001 Maybe.

[Nuf Ced]

The Red Sox come back in the ninth. Get 4 runs. Paps nails it down for the win.

No problem, right?

[Nomars Last Twitch]

Was that the Beckett/Jeter commercial for Xbox? I just walked back into the room and caught the tail end.

Hey, at least we are still in 1st, even through this bad streak.

Show me which sox team came back from being down by 3 runs more then 50% of the time.

[The Napkin]

yes

7 times lead off man on
8 walks
2 HBP
a "lost ball" triple

and we have 2 runs.

[pvg44]

Manny doesn't see too many good pitches these days.

[HighHeat]

I bet they score 2 runs here.

[sonsoftrotnixon]

Mike Lowell, up to you .. .don't fuck it up.

[Oecow]

Come on underacheiving bottom of the order....

[templeUsox]

[The Napkin]

it's gonna be bases loaded, 2 outs, and Cora up

[Nomars Last Twitch]

Yanks still down 6-2 (edit: thanks!) in the 9th.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd for Toronto, only one out, WOTS pitching for MFY.

Yanks still down 5-2 in the 9th.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Make that 6-2

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I know they didn't, but it seemed as though the lineups were constructed better that would allow them to. . this one is in a coma currently.

[sonsoftrotnixon]

Make that 6-2

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

7-2

[NYCSox]

Fuck you Lowell.

[jtn46]

This team is fucking ridiculous.

[Clemente38]

I say Wily Mo takes this guy deep, but now who cares with that DP.

Sad. Time to regroup and kick some shit in the clubhouse.

Edited by Clemente38, 28 April 2006 - 09:13 PM.

[HighHeat]

DP. A shocking turn of events.

[Nuf Ced]

Anyone got a handfull of oxycontin I can wash down with this vodka?

[Nomars Last Twitch]

Trot up

And Trot down K'ing. Ugh.

Game over.

Edited by Nomars Last Twitch, 28 April 2006 - 09:12 PM.

[The Napkin]

or not

[Alacoldart]

A 15.19 ERA and you hit into a DP after chasing an awful pitch? Wow. Not many people can make 2-5 look really bad, but you've found a way Mike. Fuck you.

[templeUsox]

Un fucking believeable

[The Napkin]

Manny shoulda let it hit him to save the DP

[Southpaw67]

Sayonara, over and out

[Alacoldart]

Manny shoulda let it hit him to save the DP

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's just Manny being Manny.

Edit: And Trot being Trot. Thanks for not even trying guys. We really appreciate these three-game losing streaks like you don't believe. A nice subtle reminder of the good old days.

Edited by Alacoldart, 28 April 2006 - 09:14 PM.

[WayneHousieHOF]

With Kazmir Sunday, we'll be lucky to win 1 of 3 here.

[templeUsox]

fuck them

[JohntheBaptist]

Great AB, PTB.

Awesome, awesome game.

[15'sCementShoes]

If this isn't rock bottom, then ????

[sonsoftrotnixon]

G'night everyone. Last one out turn out the lights.

[JohntheBaptist]

Mets win, Pedro 5-0, tied with Maddux for league lead in wins.

[OilCanShotTupac]

I can't wait to see what Lowell's negative score is going to be in that Win Probability Added thing that Bosox Bob is doing on the main board. Three times he shit the bed with RISP. Fucking brutal.

I have been a Lowell defender, but he and Loretta both lost me tonight.

[Bucknahs Bum Ankle]

Well what could you expect really? You just knew it was over when Tyler Walker came in to shut it down.

[Alacoldart]

Skanks down by 5. At least their problems scoring runs continues too. Those pundits that picked the Blue Jays are looking like geniuses very early on.

There's a whole lot of baseball left to play...but after these last few games, I'm not as excited about the brand this team is playing. Coco Crisp is not going to make that much of a difference. This team is playing like it just doesn't give a shit right now.

[JohntheBaptist]

Yea, OCST, I can't even watch Loretta ABs. Or Gonzalez ABs. Or Varitek ABs.

Around the 5th it felt like someone was playing a joke on me. 7 BBs off CASEY FOSSUM and fucking nothing to show for it? I don't even have words. Fucking heartburn now, too.

[Pandemonium67]

Those last four pitches were classic. A crushing DP on a weak, awkward hack and a 3-pitch K when only one pitch was in the strike zone.

[Sportsbstn]

With Kazmir Sunday, we'll be lucky to win 1 of 3 here.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The Sox will not win tomorrow. Dinardo will not last 3 innings. Hopefully Schilling throws a shutout, otherwise Sunday could be very scary too.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

An absolute microcosm of our offense in the last ~10 games- nice start with some patience, a couple walks, runners on, and then the bottom of our lineup and... feces all over the place.
