I swear to christ, we need a new catcher. This Varitek, let's throw fastballs so you feel comfortable, shit needs to fucking end...

[dowling25]

i don't think we need a new catcher maybe just a reliever who doesn't such when we need them to pitch.

or francona needs to leave delcarmen in to do the 8th for a while or bring in papelbon instead of gagne when he realized o shit he just walked the bases loaded with two outs. and then once he walked the guy in. maybe bring papelbon in or someone new cause it was clear gagne couldn't

Our pitchers fall behind and he calls fastball, without fail. It's predictable and flawed...

[Rockhound18]

Is it down to 2.5? Not that you all have anything to worry about. AL East pretty much has wildcard sewn up after tonight.

[dowling25]

ok i have to disagree with that. varitek is a great catcher. look at last year for instance. when he got hurt, the red sox just fell apart. i think we need him. sure he isn't a great batter, but i think he has played gold glove catching. and usually he calls a great game. buchholz for instance, and beckett having a tremendous year. without varitek the sox would probably be a lot worse then what they are.

what we need is gagne not being such a fuckin gas can.

what we need is gagne not being such a fuckin gas can. Gagne is a pitcher looking for confidence, of course he's going to throw what Tek tells him to throw, Buccholz and Beckett are VERY confident in their stuff and aren't afraid to shake him off. Look at Buccholz's no-no, he shook Tek off almost every pitch in the 8th and 9th, and Beckett shakes him off 4-5 times PER INNING. He's about as overrated as overrated can be...

[thehoss]

hey guys. seriously, at this point, who wins the division has no pull. its who plays who. we play cleveland well. you play anaheim well. fuck, lets pull together, hope for that outcome either way, and have a brawl in the alcs.

well i would say he can't find his confidence. i think he has blown at least 3 games that i can remember. he has been pitching better then was tonight too and then for some reason lost everything.

i say you have to go with delcarmen or okajima in the 8th and hopefully they have it.

his arm still isn't right. gabbard is going to end up being texas' number 1 starter next year, and gagne will be out of baseball.

DUDE YOU OUR SUCH A BAD FAN YOU FUCKING SUCK SUCK SUCK Says the guy who 5 days ago said they were going to lose out? Dude, look on any die hard Sox message board and everyone is calling for his head. Shit, head over to ufck where the Sox discussion rivals that of the Yankees discussion here. It's the same thing. Open your eyes, there's a difference between being a fan and a blind follower.

And learn how to fucking spell...

[ProudestAnt]

Just some quotes from knowledgable fans (aka NOT groton) about Varitek's playcalling:

"varitek is literally the worst game caller in baseball. he just fucked over gagne royally because of his stupidity."
"But eei says he's so good."
"matt stairs, who has been a journeyman his entire life because he can only hit a fastball, just saw 5 straight."

"it is remarkable to me how dumb this team is, be it varitek, gagne or farrell. gagne comes back from his injury, mixes up his pitches well and looks great. goes out there tonight in his first big situation and abandons all that to fall back in the EXACT same trap that got him into trouble when he first arrived in boston.
the day varitek leaves the red sox i am getting front row seats to kick his ass out the door."

"as soon as he gets behind / in trouble all varitek calls is fastball. w.t.f. it's completely obvious and completely retarded."
"the worst part is, his logic seems to be "throw a fastball to get ahead", which i hate, but fine. however, then if a guy misses with the initial fastball he keeps calling it over and over again."

"this has little to do with manny, it has to do with the core of the team and it's two biggest flaws:

1. francona (although i have no problem with what he did tonight, minus slow on the warm up when gagne struggled)
2. varitek's hitting and pitch calling.

unless problems 1 and 2 get fixed, all other problems don't really matter because they'll be out of the playoffs before you realize the games have started."

"It's just amazing how Francona's moves (and non-moves) and Varitek's pitch calling fly in the face of all logic."

But I see you're point, if people start making you look like a fucking moron, put them on ignore, makes sense. Of course, then you can't defend yourself when we continue to make you look like a fool over and over again as you try and expell your lack of wisdom on the conversation.

How about this, you limit your posts in this thread to:

Was out at Chili's tonight with my dad for dinner, of course at the bar watching the Yanks. Dude comes in, sits down. A little while later, the tv that had the YES Network on it just switches to the ESPN game, Cubs/Reds. So I called over our bartender lady friend and asked to change it. She did, and the NESN thing popped up there too. So this dude asks her to switch another tv to NESN. She tried, but for whatever reason, the satellite didn't pick it up. Dude got pissed, threw a tantrum, and left the bar without paying for his beers :lol

This is a disgrace.

no shit manny picks a great time of year to do this....i know he didn't choose to be hurt or whatever is wrong..but wtf, it sucks losing games by 1 and 2 runs when one of your best bats isn't in thew lineup...


last i knew he would be back Wednesday....that obviously didn't happen :mad

[dowling25]

well i went out last night. so i didn't really care. now that i wake up i see they lost and fuckin only scored 1 run. i am going to start crying now. they are still ok. yanks need to lose tonight though. and the sox have to pull their head out against the devil rays.

Yanks idle tonight, as they await Toronto, obviously playing great baseball. The Yanks are gonna have to be playing some great baseball vs. Toronto....

EDIT: The Yanks swept a mediocre Baltimore team, while Toronto swept a playoff-bound Red Sox team. Toronto is to be reckoned with

All you have to do is HUSTLE, and we get at least a run out of it.

[SoRight24]

Big win tonight.

Beckett was solid as usual.

Papi came through again. :thumbsup

[junior94]

Good lord, I just went and checked the box score. Six different players struck out at least twice (three of them with 3K's), and yet they won the game by a margin of 8-1. That can't of happened too many times in history :ugh

Also strange to see Beckett compiled a pitch count as high as 113 even though he went merely 6 innings and giving up 4 hits, striking out 8 of his own and walking only 2. That sounds like one strange damn game.
Talk about not getting too many "productive outs" from the Sox, but evidently they didn't much need them for this one.

[groton]

Sox Won Yanks Lost we needed a day like this I can Breath again

[DavefaninNZ]

Sox Won Yanks Lost we needed a day like this I can Breath again

Its nice to see the Blue Jays beat the Yanks. I was losing my mind when the yanks scored 4 times in the 9th. They're nearly unstoppable right now, and that has me really worried.

dude
where i work and Live is like almost Dead center fifty fifty sox to Yankee Fan Ratio
the shop was You could hear a pin drop Silent when the yanks were losing then they score two runs and some noise started then the other two and the place just went crazy you had the sox fans just shaking are heads and the yankee fans screaming

[dowling25]

^ thats hilarious. what happened after the yanks lost!

i love being in those situations too. i had this conversation last night with a yankees fan. it was great!

either way it was great to see the red sox actually score more then 2 runs this game. and beckett who had his pitch count at 92 through like 3 innings get the next three in so few. he is definitely the front runner for cy young winner this year imo.

[groton]

I was already home from work Ryan when the yank's lost

but yeah It does feel alot better us scoring runs and how does Josh not get Cy Young Twenty win's a Decent amount of QS's and a low ERA

[dowling25]

^ o that makes sense.

yeah i thought josh should get it after he beat wang against the yanks. sabathia is a close second i think but beckett is just been great this entire year.

[rickyh24]

game time

[SoRight24]

Dice-K taking the mound tonight.

The Yanks are in extras right now with Toronto.

But regardless of what they do, we need to WIN!

[rickyh24]

yeah we definitely need to win. they just showed the wild card standings that is kinda soothing too...but we need this division.

[DavefaninNZ]

If the yanks lose this game, then sox clinch a playoff spot right? I believe their magic number for a playoff spot was at 3 before last night. And the magic number is down to seven for the AL east, no?

[dowling25]

yeah so the yanks just won with cabrera hitting a single. the blue jays really threw that game away.

and hinske grounding into a double play now. he always struggles it seems with guys on base.

[rickyh24]

hinske pretty much struggles all the time.

[rickyh24]

ellsbury is the man..

[rickyh24]

Varitek is also the man



and yes we have clinched a spot since detriot lost tonight

I think its great that he's having such a great year. He could barely get a job last year, now he's hit 40+ homers this year. Just wish he'd hit less of them against the sox in crucial games.

I haven't seen him yet, but my friend in the building was at our building gym and saw him there.
My buddy works nights, so he was at the gym in the middle of the day. I was at work.

The leasing office lady said 7 Sox players live in the building, but she couldn't tell me which ones.
So far we've figured out it's Gagne, Timlin, and Predroia. Not sure of the others.
I'm a 5-min walk to Fenway Park, so it makes sense that some players would live here.

Anyway, congrats on the division. 3 back with 5 to play is no go, so I'll call it. Hopefully we'll see you guys in the LCS, and thus the shitshow that will go on around here.

One more thing. Where's Ryan at? I think it's OK for you to come out now. Your team is safe for now, you didn't blow the whole lead. You can come talk to us....

9-5 over Oakland in the 7th!

Yanks are losing early to the D-Rays.

[tankdan]

Hey, everyone, just a fun story:

I didn't realize that today's game was at 5pm until shortly after I finished work at 4pm. Normally, I try to avoid the T during Red Sox rush hour (I take the Green Line (B)), so I walked from Copley to Kenmore intending to get on the T there and avoid the crowds of people on the T.

Anyway, as I was walking, I thought it might be fun to try to get a ticket to the game. Lo and behold, as I was approaching "Game On" I found a woman trying to unload a ticket and she gave me face value ($27) for it.

Thank you, mystery woman, for allowing me to complete my impromptu visit to Fenway!

Dan

Hey, everyone, just a fun story:

I didn't realize that today's game was at 5pm until shortly after I finished work at 4pm. Normally, I try to avoid the T during Red Sox rush hour (I take the Green Line (B)), so I walked from Copley to Kenmore intending to get on the T there and avoid the crowds of people on the T.

Anyway, as I was walking, I thought it might be fun to try to get a ticket to the game. Lo and behold, as I was approaching "Game On" I found a woman trying to unload a ticket and she gave me face value ($27) for it.

Thank you, mystery woman, for allowing me to complete my impromptu visit to Fenway!

Dan



that kicks ass! you saw a great game too!

[dowling25]

sick game.

[groton]

Yes Now we win and Yanks lose tomorow and I get 110 Bucks on Friday :)

[tankdan]

Thanks, Ricky!

Now... if only I could figure out how in the world to get a ticket to a playoff game without paying $100... Hmmm...

Anyone here know how the playoff ticket system works?

Oh, yeh, and I saw that the Sox and the Angels are TIED for the best record in the AL. Let's bring it home, guys.

Dan

[rickyh24]

how does the magic number thing work? ours is 2 right now....does that mean if we win tonight and the yanks lose we get the division? or do we need two yankee losses and two wins?

id say 100 isnt bad but during the playoffs it will be 100 for a 20 dollar seat...i would check with the box office since you live in that area.

Magic number is 2. So if the Sox win and Yanks lose tonight, you win the division. If the Yanks win and Sox win, magic number is 1. If Yanks win and Sox lose, magic number is still 2. It's a combination of Red Sox wins and Yankee losses that amount to 2.

So hypothetically, let's just say the Yankees win out. All you have to do is win 2 games, and you win the division....

Fantastic article in SI this week about Paps and closing. Also, he's on the cover. Badass picture too...

jeeze sox. varitek never comes through it seems like of late. i know he hit a home run this game. but good lord. 1 out make some contact a fly ball i don't care. and youk comes in and sees three pitches.

i am a little upset about this game. but not as much as i thought i would be.

[ProudestAnt]

Varitek needs to go after this season. I don't care where, somewhere other than Boston...

i know you don't like varitek much but i think he needs to be on the team. unless they can get a catcher that can hit for some better average or something.

[ProudestAnt]

A catcher that can hit better than .256? Wooo, that'll be tough to find...

[Lcsulla]

I don't think Varitek is all that great but I am sure you all care so much about my opinion. :)

Anyhow, my question:

Are you playing for the division or do you line your rotation of for the playoffs and rest some regulars since there are only three combinations which would allow the Yanks to win the division:

Boston goes 1-2 over the last 3 games and the yanks win out 3-0 (Div tie goes to Yanks)
Boston goes 0-3 and the Yanks go 2-1 (div tie goes to Yanks)
Boston goes 0-3 and Yanks go 3-0 (Yanks win div by 1)

[rickyh24]

when they were interviewing players in the locker room after they clinched the playoff berth they were all saying they wanted the division bad. i think they will try their best to get it.

yep now if Terry does not try to put yuke into the game when it still hurts when he swings the bat (dude should really take the target off his back)

Yes Jamie, I check daily, nay, hourly to see if you've posted in here just so I can find out what you're thinking about the Sox. :rolleyes

[dowling25]

another sick game. i was glad to see the bottom line say the red sox won. that was cool. and then i drank another beer

[rickyh24]

home field throughout! that is huge....hopefully we can make quick work of the angels again

[ProudestAnt]

[SoRight24]

Trent motherfucking Edwards!!:thumbsup

I was so damn pissed earlier.

But now I've resigned myself to the fact that we just suck.

At least I have the Sox! :thumbsup

[dowling25]

i like how they had lester pitch a little today, and the same for most of their pitchers. i am nervous for the play offs to start, but i think they are playing well and hopefully they can take care of business.

[junior94]

Congrats Red Sox fans :thumbsup

As a fan of both them and the Phillies (though obviously the overall allegiance lies with them :p ) it's so cool and poetic that we both finally got the division title after so many years, like I'm sure it means a lot to you to've gotten into the playoffs not just by the wild card this team, but to have the classification of that crown.

Now, especially given one of my very best friends is a Boston native, this'll get very interesting if we actually both wind up in the world series together :D Though aside just going from pure heart and guts, I'm honestly really not sure we'd be able to beat any of the AL teams in the playoffs. :shrug

[SoRight24]

Here's how the pitching matchups are going to look:

Lackey - Beckett Game 1

Escobar - Dice-K Game 2

Weaver - Schilling Game 3

And then the rest will play themselves out.

[ProudestAnt]

Here's how the pitching matchups are going to look:

Lackey - Beckett Game 1

Escobar - Dice-K Game 2

Weaver - Schilling Game 3

And then the rest will play themselves out. Just take games 1 and 2 and replace them for games 4 and 5. With the exception of probably Schilling going game 5 if neccessary...

[dowling25]

i am so excited to see what the red sox can do in the playoffs. although i am a little nervous. hopefully are pitchers continue to do what they have done the entire year. and the bats hit a little better.

[dowling25]

i am pretty sure that don orsillo is broadcasting the rockies padres game

does anyone else notice that or agree with me?

or why is he doing that game?

[dowling25]

that is to bad for wakefield to not be able to play in the alds. however i don't really like the move to bring up cash instead of someone else...

Well this hasn't been his strongest year, so I'm not too overly concerned about him not starting. Isn't he available from the bullpen though?

[smeritt]

No he's not on the ALDS roster

[thebestauntie]

Well, like I said he hasn't been throwing well anyways, so I'm not upset. We've got strong starting pitching.

No he's not on the ALDS roster Because we only need 4 starters and Lester is the token lefty. We could use the extra bat and Wake will be back for the ALCS...
