Losing 2 of 3 to Tampa was the last straw for Theo. The next couple days are going to be like that montage at the end of Goodfellas where all the dead bodies show up as Layla plays in the background. MDC is headed to Colorado, Lowell to Texas, Oki will show up hanging in a freezer.<br>

Eric Clapton never sounded so good as in that freezer truck.

RAGE

[InsideTheParker]

Here I am, rage intact, anxiety somewhat ameliorated by the departure of Del Gascan.

Show me something, guys.

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

[SemperFidelisSox]

Victor is the only one who showed up for this road trip.

[MonstahsInLeft]

So when's that Papi-Lowell DH platoon gonna start?

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Good start for Beckett.

[Andrew]

RAAAAAAAAGE

[Sprowl]

Markakis continues his Red Sox-killing ways.

[InsideTheParker]

Beckett is not damping down my rage with cookies down the middle of the plate.

Lowell's .647 OPS against lefties isn't all that much better than Ortiz's .607.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

That's what happens when you leave 2-seamers over the plate against good hitters.

mmm... cookies.

So Scutaro has a rotator cuff problem -- and Tito keeps trotting him out there every. single. day.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Probably a smart decision by Scutaro. But he always makes that play in MLB 2K10.

Beckett looks great.

[ypioca]

Yeah. This is depressing.

[Pearl Wilson]

Luke Scott kills us.

[Seels]

Anyone mind Josh Beckett taking some flying lessons this winter?

Baby steps?

[rfra0525]

BOOOOOOO

[Sprowl]

Rage. Rising.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

God damn. Beckett needs to get that fastball down in the zone. If you're going to miss, might as well be up and away, but seriously.

[fenwaypaul]

I know he's hurt, but when's the last time Scutaro went more than one step to his right to field a ground ball and threw the runner out at first?

[notfar]

Remember when we were all fantasizing about this team making a run at the postseahahahahahahhahaaaa. those were the days.

[kieckeredinthehead]

There are no finer words than "Lugo was hit in the head"

[Sparky Lyle]

Did I ever tell any of you guys how much I hate Josh Beckett?

[Andrew]

I, for one, think it's great that Mark Loretta will be playing 1B for us in the upcoming month.

I thought this said ate. It gave me pause.

[Seels]

Cool. So in other words, he's sucking quicker than he usually does.

F.O.

[rembrat]

Don't ever throw that pitch again.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

He finally paints with a low, outside corner fastball and no call. This is how it's going to be for the rest of the season.

No need to draw out the pain. If we can go down in flames against the Orioles this series I can go ahead and close the book on 2010.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Really wish Markakis wasn't locked up until 2015.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

Beltre showing bunt?!

It is raining in Vancouver.

I have a bad sunburn.

[Andrew]

Well. At least you made him throw 3 pitches.

[fenwaypaul]

So far the Sox bats are not exactly raging against the dying of the light.

Neither is Josh. It appears this board may have cornered the market for rage.

[Red Lunar Eclipse]

My Roku timed out as soon as Heidi started to interview Lugo. Sweet.

[Sprowl]

The cutter continues to be Beckett's best pitch. Now if he could just stop grooving fastballs....

Totally unrelated, but are you happy with your Roku? I'm looking at getting one.

[MonstahsInLeft]

You know I'd half convinced myself that the Yankees crappy rotation might give us a shot at catching them...but if they keep winning despite their sh-tty starters this is really gonna be academic.

[Manramsclan]

What is the rationale in running Josh out there every fifth day?

He's got to be a bit banged up, right?

If so, I would just assume shut him down. He's pitched a lot over the last few years as the Sox have had extended stays in the post season. Let Wake get some turns.

[Pearl Wilson]

Bill Hall bad ball hitter.

[Yazdog8]

Bill Hall still cares.
