Prev. Gm: |
Los Angeles Angels (65-40) @ Boston Red Sox (61-46) |
GAME NOTES: Looks like the Angels have just acquired Mark Teixeira for Casey Kotchman, and, I assume, a pitcher of some caliber. Why is this significant? The Halos just made themselves the clear-cut favorites to win their second World Series this decade. Countering the Angels tonight is Clay Buchholz, a true test for the struggling young right-hander.

Oh yeah – pitchers!
Angels: John Lackey
Red Sox: Clay Buchholz
GO SOX!
Good start, Clay – 3 outs on 7 pitches. Keep it up!
Well it didn’t take Clay long to reach the meltdown.
This isn’t Buchholz’s fault – 2 errors is a defensive meltdown. Clay’s still doing fina, although this doesn’t help his pitch count.
*doing fine. duh.
Well now you can blame that run on his pitching.
O.K. Way to back me up there, Clay, with the bases loaded walk.
Crap…I hope all of our offense wasn’t spent on last night’s loss.
Clay needs a ticket to Pawtucket and STAT. Masterson rarely if ever performed this badly.
Fuck me…I think we might have seen our new AL champs provided something terrible doesn’t happen to them.
Don’t press the panic buton yet – I fell a big inning coming on.
*feel. duh, again.
Oh, and ‘button’ has two ‘t’s. Jeez, I’m having a hard time with this typing stuff today.
For our sake I hope you’re right.
With this offense right now…chances are slim for a rally unless it’s late inning.
You better hope it stays 4-0 and not even worse.
Yikes. Lackey’s got a NO-HITTER going through 5 IP on only 54 pitches. Yes, I said NO-HITTER, and I am trying to jinx it.
Another 7 pitch inning for Clay – other than the BIG mistake to Anderson, he’s actually been doing pretty well tonight.
I really want Matt Kemp.
I really want Kason Gabbard and David Murphy.
WTF?! John Lackey, didn’t we used to own this guy?
O.K., I don’t really want Gabbard so much per se, but Murphy would sure be nice…
O.K., I don’t really want Gabbard so much per se, but Murphy would sure be nice…
why why is is that that there there twice twice ??
Hansen. Tito’s thrown in the towel.
This game…is over.
I can only hope the Yanks lose and so do the Rays.
murphy has a .313 on base percentage…I’d rather see Moss play.
Hey, you’re right, JaredK. I just checked his stats. I thought he’d been doing better than that. Oh well.
looks like we’re getting no hit folks, by John freaking Lackey of all people. New low for this season, no doubt.
Wow now the good pitching comes back with Oki. Odds of a rally are still low as hell, but maybe Oki could’ve pitched the game instead of Clay. I’d be down with that.
Oh and there’s no way were making the playoffs at this rate so might as well trade manny.
The good news is Damaso Marte just gave up a 3-run double to Abrey Huff. Go Orioles!
Rays up, O’s up.
Wanna guess which one of those two I’m happy about?
Fuck…this is an absolute embarrassment. Sometimes I think this might be karma for beating up on the Angels for so long.
any chance of a hit tonight? any? one? just one maybe?
if this is a no-hitter it would be absolutely devastating
Can someone tell me why we’re even bothering sending Paps in?
and the most pathetic thing is that Lackey hasn’t been that dominant tonight, only 2 k and a bunch of line drives falling for outs.
Papelbon hasn’t pitched in a month.
he hasn’t worked in a while because we suck
late to cluster f**k. WTF is going on? Season on the brink? Someone tell me some good news.
Wow … We are the Boston Red Sox … World Series Champs … We have possessed one of the most feared offenses in the league for years…
So I must ask … Why the fuck are we being no hit? There is no excuse for this offense … No excuse
From the looks of it the Papajima show should’ve been pitching the whole game. Instead we get a pseudo-prospect and an offense that didn’t feel like giving a shit tonight.
Pathetic.
PEDROIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
way to go jacoby!
PEDROIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh…my…God…
Thank you for Pedroia, a guy that actually thumbs his nose at enemy accomplishment.
Thank you Pedroia for saving us the humiliation
holy shit we scored
