I'd recommend the Pirates. They've been rebuilding for 18 years so they should be off the charts amazing next year.

Maybe, although Baltimore with Buck will be a contender. They're overdue.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Are you drinking again?

I'm not the one already bitching about next year.

[AimingForYoko]

Maybe you should pick another team to root for.

I sometimes wish it really were that easy for me to do so. Or at the very least not care so much. It's brutal.

Beckett and Lackey back to back. Oh yes, I can't wait for 2011.

I prefer to look at it as Lester and Buchholz back-to-back and Pedroia and Youkilis back-to-back.

Aren't you like 20 years old?

yes. why?

It's true. You can't really choose to be an obsessive fan. Primordial loyalties aren't that easily discarded or transferred.

20 years old is so far back in my rear mirror, I can't tell you, but I also feel some trepidation about Beckett/Lackey '11. Go ahead, shoot me.

[SMU_Sox]

Re: the Beckett Lackey worrying. Yes, with Beckett and Lackey there is some risk that this is the beginning of a decline. Some of you figure the risk is pretty significant. I'm not overly worried but you can't completely dismiss that possibility. In the beginning of the season even with Lackey's rocky start I didn't think he'd end the season with an ERA around 4.5 (I figured it would be below 4.25 at least). I'm not even sure who I am more worried about for next year: Lackey or Beckett (probably Lackey).

[Sprowl]

Lowrie to Scutaro to Martinez isn't a bad infield.

[Pearl Wilson]

If we lose this game, I'm blaming the fact that Beckett's necklace is all screwed up with the neck of his shirt.

At least Beckett was hurt this year. Lackey's unexplained-suck is worrisome.

[judyb]

They probably should have tried the Lowrie SS/Scutaro 2B thing a lot sooner than when they finally did it.

[SoxFanSince57]

Beckett is going to allow 2 runs over 7 innings tonight. It is written.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

yes. why?

No, I'm not picking on you, I'm actually genuinely interested in that comment you made.

If you're 20, you got a WS championship at 14 and then another at 17. Seems like it's been a pretty nice ride, as opposed to years of angst.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I'm not sure it would have been done at all if not for Scutaro's arm dangling by a tendon.

Oh

It was just a general statement.

I don't think I could've made it through the earlier Sox years. I mean, the Bruins are bad enough. At least the Sox never made me cry pathetically. Just punch things.

Funny thing is that if we had scored 5 runs already we would all be happy with Beckett tonight

[Sprowl]

Beckett is getting hit on everything but the changeup: fastball, sinker, cutter and curve have all been hammered.

Admit it...you cried pathetically in 2003. I know I did.

[CJM]

Maybe you should pick another team to root for.

I decided a couple of days ago to just switch over to the Royals. I figure, hey, early-30's, settling into a career, moved in with the lady, in pretty good shape, I need a little more angst back in my life.

Plus, no one ever got Ted Williams on tape talking about diarrhea filling his shoes.

[BucketOBalls]

I think most sox fans did. I wondered if the Pats had sucked all the karma out of the city.

[genivive]

Looks like Josh's velocity is dropping

Time to get out the ol' eraser.

[Sprowl]

Beckett doesn't cover home plate, deserves what he gets.

[shawnrbu]

This team has such poor fundamentals.

[metaprosthesis]

These developments are undesirable.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

Heads up baseball. Just not by the Sox.

Took two batters to prove me a false prophet tonight. Mojo ain't working.

[patinorange]

His ERA is dropping like a rock.

And the bunt scores from second.

That SB crushed me so bad I haven't watched much football since. I still can't believe it. edit: woops - we're talking about different events. I saw 'pats' after reading about disappointments - jumped to the wrong conclusion .

This game is rather disheartening. Where is Beckett's head? I am not enjoying myself. Grrrrr.

[topps148]

Somewhere, Foulkey is crying.

You're a Raiders fan?

Where was Jerrod's head? Leaves a welcome mat out at home plate.

[SMU_Sox]

You're a Raiders fan?

No, just a moron and I'm not sure that's mutually exclusive, or not, with being a Raider's fan. Read too quickly.

[AimingForYoko]

Nothing was ever as bad as the series last year w/ the B's. It almost broke me I was so upset. Which is probably why this year's disaster really didn't register.

[genivive]

They just aren't very good are they?

Jesus Victor jog to first why don't you.

Oh there's been worse 1967 1986 and on and on

[patinorange]

Odds on Beltre getting through the season without an injury?

Old Molina is also taking a good beating .

[CJM]

Mr. Brett discusses his colon.

Just in case anyone needs a little humor at the moment.

Jesus this night went from bitching about Lackey and Beckett to reminiscing about painful Sox, Bruin's and Pat's losses.

Is it too early to add 2009-2010 Celtics?

No. I haven't been able to watch an NBA game since.

To be honest, I really wasn't expecting much from them. Or last year either. They suprised the hell outta me but I wasn't completely destroyed.


Still though. Fuck the Lakers.

Have you seen anything about this game worth discussing?

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

I think that's where the Beckett bitching originated

[SoxFanSince57]

Scoring runs the cheap way. I'll take it.
