Youkilis gave us Lillibridge

I think that was Jonathan Swift.

[bosockboy]

With the state of our starting pitching, the most important person in our organization is Barnes. Gotta hit on him.

[pokey_reese]

Tazawa and Lester should probably swap places.

[E5 Yaz]

I hope Lester is taking notes

1. Throw with my right arm
2. Enter game with reduced expectations


Meanwhile,

#Rangers say Roy Oswalt has been scratched for Monday's start due to lower back tightness. Scott Feldman will start tomorrow vs. Boston.

Yeah one thing is for sure don't want to trade him. We need all the young effective arms we can get.

[LesterFan]

He couldn't possibly be any worse if he did throw with his right arm

[LynnRice75]

Grr. That bases loaded squander earlier in the game really hurts now.

[pokey_reese]

I think that was Jonathan Swift.

I've got a Modest Proposal for you: Feed Lester to the homeless in Boston as a PR move.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nava, you're not a switch hitter.

They are gonna lose this game by one run, right?

If they trade any high-ceiling prospects in the next 10 days, it'll be a p.r. move and Home Depot will run out of pitchforks and torches.

[bosockboy]

If this turns us into sellers it is probably a blessing in disguise.

I doubt it. Outside of us and the diehards, no one seems to care enough to riot anymore.

I'd riot if they traded any of their top 5 prospects...but I'd riot even harder if they did nothing. This series has been pathetic, no reason you don't sweep a team like Toronto...NONE.

[shawnrbu]

Tremendous camerawork from the RF bleachers.

Our GM is Ben cherington, we'll probably ship Lester off for some mediocre prospects.

Hey Mark, this isn't the best way to say "hey, I'm reliable now, I promise!"

[Tyrone Biggums]

I'll say this too...for all of the shit Crawford gets on this board...at least hes playing like he gives a shit, same thing with Gonzalez. Beckett and Lester are throwing batting practice 2 out of every 5 starts and thats the issue. You can have the best offense in the world but if you're always behind 5-7 runs you won't win many games.

[aksoxfan]

To think that a couple of days ago I figured we had passed Toronto for good and were going to pick off TB and Baltimore on our way to securing a WC spot. What a dope I am.

[Tyrone Biggums]

Our GM is Ben cherington, we'll probably ship Lester off for some mediocre relievers.

Fixed that for you

Mediocre middle relief prospects.

You got that word down, try some others.

[Madmartigan]

Well this is mostly bad luck for Melancon, not a lot of hard hit balls here. Also it looked like Lawrie was out at home and the ump just blew the call.

[bloodysox]

How many Boston massacres are there going to be this year?

[Darnell's Son]

Ugh, now we're down a touchdown again.

[Rudy Pemberton]

Melancon is BACK!

[Beomoose]

MAN does our pitching suck.

[patinorange]

Well this is mostly bad luck for Melancon, not a lot of hard hit balls here. Also it looked like Lawrie was out at home and the ump just blew the call.

Yup, bad luck is his problem.

[mauidano]

Why not? Just beat us down.

[LeoCarrillo]

Holy shit. We're going back in the AL East cellar. Forget trading for anyone.

[bloodysox]

Ugh, now we're down a touchdown again.

call Tom Brady

[fenwaypaul]

Still a one-possession game.

[mauidano]

You know D-Mac was DFA today by the MFY. He can pitch!

[LynnRice75]

How many Boston massacres are there going to be this year?

How many games left?

[bosockboy]

That deadline deal for Victor also was a killer.....if you keep Masterson maybe you don't sign Lackey or at a bare minimum, Jenks. Seems like things have gone downhill since then.

[SemperFidelisSox]

[AimingForYoko]

I don't care if Jed's leg has been amputated, I'd still like him back.

[Cellar-Door]

I doubt it. Outside of us and the diehards, no one seems to care enough to riot anymore.

Peoplei general never cared about trading prospects, they saw it as something for nothing.

[LynnRice75]

And the Jays just scored the 4 runs we needed to score to tie the game at 11....

[ifmanis5]

Oh yeah, that Texas trip is looking great right now.

[etakbear]

I think I blame John Farrell. He knows too much about the Red Sox.

[AimingForYoko]

I wouldn't complain about the Masterson deal if they hadn't let Victor go afterwards. no I don't care if he's hurt right now

[InsideTheParker]

I just looked at the game log on TSN. It would appear that removing Tazawa from the game was an error. Is he on a pitch count?

[patinorange]

Hear that thumping at Fenway? That's Bautista banging his head against the wall of the dugout for missing this series. He would have had 6 homers and 20 Rbi's against this staff.

[E5 Yaz]

Rangers-Yankees-Tigers .... hmmm

[Sprowl]

So this game kinda sux, huh? I'm glad I missed Lester's masterful interpretation of Starter Implosion.

[ShaneTrot]

I am actually hoping that they get nuked this week. It would force them to be sellers. I certainly don't want any of the top 10 prospects traded and still not make the playoffs.
