Listening on radio and I’m here to make my obligatory “I hate Will Flemming” post.

If you're going to give up an error and then have an 8-pitch at bat you might as well turn two!

Big shift to pull for Chang. He's got the whole right side available.

Strider is fucking ridiculous. What kind of head did he give to the devil to get stuff like this

They better start building up this guy's pitch count. Because there's no fucking way they're getting a run off him.

Man, Murphy's numbers are crazy. I know he was good last year, but I sort of thought the Braves actually overpaid a little bit.

But, fuck, his numbers are off the fucking charts for a catcher.

Nah…I’m getting Pedro/Clemens May 2000 vibes in this game. They’re gonna scratch a run or two off Strider and win this thing.

On the one hand, I don't have a problem with the Sox hunting fastballs early. Strider doesn't seem like a guy you want to try to take two against. On the other hand, 8 pitch innings hurt. On the third hand, I'd be peeing my pants if I stood in the box against him (or Wakefield for that matter), so what do I know.

Nice double play to end the inning. Now, what makes you think the Sox should be crushing the Braves? I'm puzzled. Or are you a Braves fan?
They stink. Overrated.

"But we have four players OPS-ing over .900 and an incredible rotation and bullpen. Ohh, we're 30 games above .500," blah blah blah. Horseshit.

Posers. Pretenders. They stink. They can take their pythag and stick it where the sun don't shine. They are horrible. Barely a wild card team.
