Throw strikes, Lester
I DARE YOU.

Oh boy

The second one should have been a strike 'em out-throw 'em out DP
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.

The ump had a tight strike zone all night long
Pettitte also got screwed.

i had this thought a couple hours ago….and so far it is applying…if lester throws strikes we will win this game.
Agreed
He has some great stuff, he just needs to use it.

Sit down, Thong Boy
Lester is a great pitcher when not walking dudes.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
That's called picking up Lugo
after he made a dumb decision to run to second instead of throwing to Pedroia.
4 pitch walk to Tek
I don’t know about that, but I’ll take it.

Pettitte sucks when he’s not on ‘roids.

Pettitte doesn’t $uck…or he didn’t in the past substances or not…just being fair
Go Sox!!
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

I know
He’s a great pitcher, but I just don’t like him.

Lester
If he doesn’t go at least 7, we will need at least a 9 run lead to win this game…that’s how little faith I have in getting through the 6th and 7th innings with our current crop of relievers.
Lugo is not as bad as we think he is
His giving us what Jeter is giving to the Yanks, while being somewhat cheaper.

Lester has been dominant
Aside from the shaky first.
Sad to see Andy go
We’ll take your 6 runs and 9 hits any time!
Lester had a 4-pitch 3rd inning
Just pointing it out.
I think he will
Great, great start from Lester even if you count that somewhat lousy 1st inning.

I'm all up for Tek to not swing at all
I mean, even if he K’s at 3 pitches he might end up seeing more pitches than if he swings at anything.

Hey traiter damon
glad you’re not blocking the path of our 24 year old, $400K a year superstar in the making centrefielder. Oh BTW, we won the title again last year you sh*t.
Sorry, but I hate Damon, and there’s my rant for the day.
this start has really restored my faith in lester. Even more so than the no-hitter in a way, because this is against a really patient powerful offense.
Agreed
He’s been our best starter for a good part of the season.

his numbers have been good enough, but id say in the majority of his starts its been frustrating to watch him trying to hit the strike zone.
I do not agree
His walks are way down from last year. I’ve said it before: I’ve enjoyed watching him most out of all our starters.
Yep
Last season: 63 IP, 31 BB
This season: 108 IP, 39 BB
His K’s are also down, but that’s a big difference in walks.

A-rod
You know I don’t really like this bloke, but geez when you peruse his stats, they are just ridiculous. BTW, are NY every going to realise he’s the better fielding SS?
But its silly really
Anyone who knows even just a shread about baseball knows A-rod would still be the better SS. Its amazing no-one in their FO, just said “look this is dumb, we’ve got the best player on the planet playing the wrong spot, lets fix that”
Complete game anyone?
Les is at 75 pitches through 7. Would be good to give the pen a night to rejuvenate.
Oh. Maybe Yahoo hadn't updated.
You might be right.
Funnily enough
It doesn’t quite resonate when you’re getting spanked 6-0 on a 2 hitter but our #3 pitcher.
Not # 3 anymore

And yet another run, 7-0, thank you very much…

short story
grew up in LA, both grandfather and father Sox fans, couldn’t follow anything else. Been in Oz for 26 years.
I don't know why, but this is the comment of the game for sure.
Bottom 9th B:1 S:0 O:0 With Bill Mueller batting, Dave Roberts steals (1) 2nd base.
That was a long time for Lester to wait
But a DP ends my fear of any trouble brewing.
hello everybody

Game! Lester has truly truly truly come into his own.
yeah it gave the pen a rest

My only concern about Lester
Is that we’re overworking him. Dude’s pitching a huge amount of inning. We should give him a break in the second half, maybe let Colon or something like that start for him a day or two.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
I agree, but let Bowden spell him not Colon

clutch start
Great job by Lester. Only 105 pitches, so we shouldn’t worry too much about it being a CG.
By way of comparison, Dice-K needed 101 pitches to get through 5 innings last night. Dice-K is a good starter, but he really needs to work on keeping his pitch count down.
