Dammit Joe, I just got Castigliowned, again. He's been the radio announcer for like two decades of my life, and I still routinely get tricked.

Ruh roh...Daisuke doesn't look very good out there while their 2-3 pitcher is making our offense look foolish.

Wow Dice-K has been pretty bad today, not terrible but certainly nothing noteworthy. I can only hope Dustin "Fuck Yeah" Pedroia can help carry the offense again.

I guess the Red Sox have no intention of winning this game, Oh well

Posted by Evan Brunell, September 3, 2008 2:56 PM

It'd be nice to win this game...

Ok I think a precedent has to be established for Red Sox games and especially stressing a series matchup. The blowout should be on the last game of the series or no blowout at all. It seems like every single time we destroy an opponent, the next game is like watching 6-year-old Little League.

The fact that they haven't scored a run against two less than mediocre relievers is pathetic, especially after that bitch slapping they handed out last night

Posted by Colin, September 3, 2008 3:04 PM

But that is exactly my point. Every time we wail on someone, a game like this happens right after or the second game after. Anyone seeing a pattern?

At least Ellsbury is trying

What the shit!! Dennis Sarfate has a 5 era 5!!! why can't you hit him??

At least Dustin tried too...this is starting to get sad, but maybe Tito picked up on my theory behind sleepy Sox bats and can now lecture the players on "too much offense for one game."

Yeah this doesn't look good for the rest of the game...

Hopefully Texas can brighten our spirits again.

Oh my sweet Jesus...this is embarrassing. Well I hope this serves as a lesson to the Sox as what not to do and what to do.

C'mon Jacoby...called out on strikes again?

At least Ellsbury was trying to work the count and be patient, I can accept that. I just wish Coco had something resembling an approach when he goes to the plate.

Kay, bottom 7 now. Time to plate some runs.

The only bright side to this game is that at least Dice-K went seven to save the bullpen and (hopefully) work out some of the kinks from the earlier innings. 4 runs is never insurmountable against this atrocious O's staff, but we need to get going this inning guys!

Oh...snap...

Cora is smart

Wait, there is a game going on?!??

#26

Posted by Evan Brunell, September 3, 2008 3:48 PM

I have no faith in Coco.

#27

Posted by Ryne, September 3, 2008 3:50 PM

3-1 pitch ... be smart ...

Posted by Evan Brunell, September 3, 2008 3:50 PM

Thank you for not swinging the bat.

Suicide squeeze? It could work.

Posted by Ryne, September 3, 2008 3:51 PM

Cherry has been wild (2 walks, HBP) so of course Jake starts off 0-2

#31

Posted by Evan Brunell, September 3, 2008 3:52 PM

*sigh*

Damn it all...

HEADS UP PLAY BY CORA

#34

Posted by Bay's Dad, September 3, 2008 4:02 PM

Yup, great play by Cora. Great bunt, great throw to third.

Haha I just read Dave Trembley's lips... he was screaming something about "I never..." then said "YOU'RE A GOOD UMPIRE!" and stormed off... reminds me of the Lou Pinella commercial.

In the BOS/CHW game the other day when Octavio Dotel got in trouble but wiggled out of it, they showed Ozzie yelling at Dotel while Dotel was yelling at himself and hammering himself in the chest and Ozzie said "YOU WERE JUST LUCKY! YOU PITCHED LIKE HORSESH-T!"

Please Pedroia...

#37

Posted by Colin, September 3, 2008 4:13 PM

How does he keep on doing it?!? How?

Did a benevolent baseball god possess Dustin or something?

Does the guy every disappoint? It hasn't seemed like it lately!
