    I’m hating these first pitch swings. Patience. At least make Shield work a bit. Please?

    Yeah, I don’t get the lack of patience. Work the count, dammit!

  4. 2008 April 27 at 3:18 pm

    I said, “Don’t strike out!” right before he swung. Ugh.

    The dead, lifeless bats are painful. WAKE IT UP, GUYS.

    ecl1958 permalink

    I think our guys are just so damn tired right now that they’re having trouble being anything other than dead and lifeless.

    And unfortunately, NYY are up 1-0 in the 8th.

    The good news is that Posada apparently has a muscle tear in his shoulder (per WRKO) and it “may be serious.”

  33. 2008 April 27 at 3:41 pm

    LOST:

    The Red Sox offense. If found, please send it to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL IMMEDIATELY

    Career-high 12 K’s – last time he did that was back in ‘02, I think.

    BecKKKKKKKKKKKKet!

    It would be a shame to lose this game after his outstanding pitching.

    It would be an even bigger shame to lose to TB. again.

    Erin permalink

    Can someone please slap some sense into the Sox offense and tell them to do something?

  43. 2008 April 27 at 3:44 pm
    kristina permalink

    ok it would really suck to have two great pitching performances without a win

  44. 2008 April 27 at 3:44 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Maybe the 13 will prove to be a lucky number?

  45. 2008 April 27 at 3:46 pm

    Coco, Tek, and Lowrie up now. Then Lugo and the top of the order.
