How is this game not on ESPN?

The reigning champs and the upstart Rays, battling for first and just weeks after their bench clearer. And ESPN has the Mets-Cards even though it’s on locally in NYC.

Crap

Upton takes Masterson’s first pitch out of the yard. Masterson has given up a lot of HR in his June starts.

Nice Mikey

Does that put him over .300?

Wow

Maddon is matching up against Moss. I’m OK with that because Shields is out of the game.

The MFY are losing, 2-1

I’m following the play-by-play and saw the strangest thing. It said: “Giambi tripled to center.” Talk about things you don’t see (or read) every day.

Shit

Tek needs a break, and we need a young catcher to replace him in the future. It should be easier.

If you look at the momentum, or lack thereof recently,

well it speaks for itself. I think there is a good chance the Sox will be in Third place come next Sunday unless there is a radical change such as an early return for Ortiz!

by NG on Jun 30, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

You thrive on negativity

You only post when the Sox lose (or are losing). Go back and re-read the crap you wrote last year about the "inevitable Sox collapse."

by Drugs Delaney on Jun 30, 2008 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

When they win, I feel content.

It is when they lose that I get frustrated and want to do somethng about it. I feel better stating what I see going wrong. Maybe this year will be like last year, but more likely from what I have seen recently, it will be like the year before last when the Sox just collapsed from mid July on!

Hey Chris Smith

4-pitch walks to Carl Crawford aren’t a good idea.

Carl Crawford is the next in line to start sucking

Right behind Robinson Cano.

Cano

seems too flip; nonchalant – makes the Jete look bad with his throws & seems to swing at anything & everything

It's Fine

We’ll hit back to back to back to back homers to take the lead, then Varitek and Lugo will get out, then we’ll hit 7 more homers until Varitek gets out again.
