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.

I’m pissed.

Crap

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

Only 6 HRs for Upton?

I could be dead wrong about this

But I’d say that about in 50% of Masterson starts, he gives up a homer in the first inning.

he is also comeback player of the year ( if anyone can be ROY & comeback player of the year- it’s Joba)

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!

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."

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!

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.
