Avenge my previous failure, oh Red Sox.

[Frank, Fenway]

When this team is flat they just flat out fucking suck. I fucking hate watching this team when they are this flat.

[SoxLegacy]

They were flat...hopefully no more of this:

[dbn]

Don't worry, we have the "back" of the rotation starting today. They'll be fine.

[NoMaRRaMoN]

Time for the opposite of flat...

It's the gamethread that made the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

[Clemente38]

It's a SoSH Bash game, something always happens - inside the park home runs, walk outs in the 8th and walk offs in the ninth, squashing the wave, SoSHers escorted to the closest exit. The challenge is to pay attention to the game with all the distractions in the stand.

If you haven't attended, try it, as it is a unique experience.

Look forward to seeing all at the pre-game Bash and here's hoping Cook doesn't turn into a pumpkin tonight or it could get ugly.

And of course, thanks BSL for setting this up for all of us.

[mauidano]

Ground balls tonight. Feel great about the right side of the infield tonight. WMB & Avilles, pay attention, they're coming your way too. FFS, let's score some runs early and win!

Ellsbury has what is being termed. "planned day off" today.

[mikeot]

Abraham also reports Aviles out with turf toe, situation day-to-day.

BobbyV noted Beckett warms up earlier than any SP. Relate to 1st inning probs? Not sure but 'can't teach that dog new tricks' #redsox

[soxhop411]

is today the day, they announce what role tek has with the sox?

[SemperFidelisSox]

You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach a stubborn asshole how to warm up differently. That's why you have pitching coaches, Bobby.

Rob Bradford ‏@bradfo
McClure said plans on talking to Beckett about him typically warming up earlier than other pitcher just to cover all angles re 1st inn woes

Isn't the title of the gamethread a star wars reference? If we lose it's not my fault.

Blue Jays manager and former Sox pitching coach John Farrell: "It was an honor to be in the same uniform as Jason Varitek.”

You guys do remember where the image of our holy BABIP God is from, right?




It goes with Luke and company like oil and water.

Might cook be our newest knuckleballer?

RT @TBritton_Projo Cook said he's been fooling around with a knuckleball, too. Might we see it tonight? "Maybe," he said with a smirk.

He better fucking not.

Right up there with Padilla and his epheus pitch.

Don't mess with his Dad

[bloodysox]

Varitek has a great taste in women. His wife is pretty close to Heidi's level.

NOMAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"And now, the guy who washed Tek's jock straps for 15 years"

[InsideTheParker]

It occurred to me this afternoon that out of the last 18, the Sox have had one good inning. Hoping for a lot more tonight.
Geaux, Sox!

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Anyone else secretly hoping that at the end of this ceremony they're going to announce Bobby was fired an hour ago and Tek is the new manager?

[TheYellowDart5]

Is there any way they can digitally edit Lugo out of any and all 2007 World Series footage? I know he was good in that series and all, but still.

[Rasputin]

A Star Wars reference. Great. We're doomed.

Not until the prequels.

[mikeford]

Not until the prequels.

The what now?

[SemperFidelisSox]

I thought Beckett, Lester and Clay were going to present him with a bronzed bucket of Popeye's.

[AimingForYoko]

Not until the prequels.

What prequels? Lucas retired in '97.

[TheYellowDart5]

"But wait, there's more!" And then golf clubs. Is this a ceremony or an old episode of The Price Is Right?

And a big ole truck. Perfect.

[AimingForYoko]

Did Wake get a truck?

[Kilgore A. Trout]

Looks like they took Lester's truck away from him and gave it to Varitek. That'll show him for sucking.

Doom references. We're double dare doomed.

This is awkward.

"We miss old mommy...".

And we miss Heidi.

[mikeford]

We appreciate you. (even though we basically forced you into retirement)

[mikeford]

Okay this is way too much.
