In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

[Frank, Fenway]

Ah, now eventually you do plan to have wins on your, on your baseball tour, right? Hello?

[soxhop411]

Sox will score 5+ runs and win...

(it worked last time)

[Frank, Fenway]

I'm pretty sure Jon Lester will pitch 8 innings and not suck.

[Laser Show]

To steal a word from Frank Fenway, if you don't like winning you're a Puntoist.

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nick Punto had 596 Twitter followers while with the Twins. 596 people signed up to read 140 characters of wisdom from Nick Punto.

edit: typo, he actually had 596, not 569. 569 will either be his OPS+ this season or the number of holes in SJH's wall by July.

It's Trot Nixon, Jason Varitek, and Bret Saberhagen's birthday. WIN FOR THE OLD RETIRED BALLPLAYERS!

[Darnell's Son]

Thanks E5. I'm so sick of the Red Sox losing. Lets take this game, and then sweep the stoopid Rays!

[Sampo Gida]

Current Blue Jays have a collective 191 BA and 578 OPS against Lester.

Current Red Sox have a collective 308 BA and 923 OPS against Romero.

Not sure why they even bother playing. It's a W, book it.

Taking this series would look good on an early season resume`. Umm, ummm, um. How 'bout a fresca?

[LeoCarrillo]

Is it possible to be a stopper for a 1-game losing streak? Cuz it sure feels like we need one. Be the guy, Jonny.

[mr_smith02]

Serenity now Jon Lester...Serenity now!

[Red PR]

Already chatter w talking heads , team pitching in disarray, trust issues between players, yada yada yada (although source is pretty good)

Lets win this one.

[Carl Everetts Therapist]

This team needs to get back to the friendly confines of Fenway soooooo bad. Although the Boston mediots will be there so there's that drawback.

[rembrat]

Uneasy feeling we see Nicky Punto lead-off today..

If anyone buys that clubhouse turmoil that the CHB's and Schilling's of the world are spilling then I'd like to sell you some nice real estate on the water in the everglades... Schilling has backed way off his comments by the way and it appears as if he has delusions about how many friends he has on the team...

[MakMan44]

Last night hurt in so many ways. I laughed, I cried, I sang, I killed Nick Punto.....

Oh wait, that last one only happened in my dream after the game.

Whatever, win one and come home boys, Fenway misses yah.

Good lineup and pitcher for a getaway game, and the real bullpen should be ready and rested.

Thomas and Bowden unavailable! Yay!!!

[unclebobo]

[Average Reds]

I have confidence that they will take the series with a win today.

One series at a time....

[Back Bay]

Win it for Justin Thomas final day as a major leaguer.

[Rasputin]

Win it for Justin Thomas final day as a major leaguer.

Yeah, this.

[Fragile Freddie]

I understand the Punto hate, but if Youk does anything other than GIDP and covers 3rd base instead of watching the play like the rest of us, last night's game could have turned out totally differently.

Even with our best hitter out of the lineup... Lester is ready.

[Laser Show]

I had a dream last night that Nick Punto was following me. I don't know if I should be embarassed, disturbed, or terrified of this.

There is catharsis in blaming Punto. It feels too damn good. How can we not blame this guy?

Last night AimingForYoko dropped this in the gamethread:

We're picking on Punto because fuck Nick Punto.

That is beautiful.

Buster Olney, too. Although he also said two years ago, when Papi was atrocious in April 2010, that sources inside the Red Sox organization were confirming there's no way he's on the team after the All-Star break. I've always gotten the sense Olney's best source at Fenway was a batboy's second-cousin's social-studies teacher's husband's old roommate at Northeastern.

Anybody have a free high quality stream of this bad boy of a game? I'm stuck at work and would love to watch between patients...

Thanks in advance

[NoMaRRaMoN]

For good luck, I'll be watching with my dog Lester - seen here at a Nat's game:

[robssecondjob]

Careful. The BABIP gods last night were looking for animal sacrifices.
