Boston Red Sox

captainwisejam

I know I'm crashing the Red sox thread but it's because the Indians thread is lame.
I went to the Browns game yesterday with my buddy(who is a major sox fan). We had both stayed up to watch the game saturday night.
me-happy
him-not happy
Got to the muni lot to tailgate at 7:00am. Every 15 minutes he started getting pissed about Gagne. He kept saying he was going to go down to the hotel the sox were staying at on sunday evening and wait for Gagne and punch him in the face.

Sorry nothingman44, it was just drunken innocent babble, mission not accomplished.

anyways good luck in the series, hope it goes Indians way though. Might not matter, Colorado is FUCKING HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

this ump's strike zone is ALL over the place ... it's a crap shoot on what a pitch will be called.

I've always liked tim wakefield, but they really need to put becket in tomorrow.

The Indians are tough but Wake is a vet.....a tough vet and I have more confidence in him than Dice K. The Sox are in good finger nails with Wakefield.

it was like halfway through the game he just said "fuck it" and called anything a ball sometimes and strike the other times.

westbrook pitched a hell of a game and the sox did not take advantage of the bases loaded no outs gift they had in the 2nd.

seriously, the series is indians 2, red sox 1. the way fox was commentating the game, you would think that going up 2-1 in a best of 7 was the death blow or something.

hopefully the sox bats wake the hell up tomorrow against byrd...although wakes it a complete toss up - either total domination wakes, or wakes who gives it up early and often.

Francona knows his team and knows what he's doing and Wakefield will get the job done. Come back here tomorrow and quote me and Beckett's fastball will look so much more impressive when he pitches especially after the Indians try to hold steady and hit that knuckler.

i totally agree except i put no weight in the fastball pitcher after a knuckleballer thing, esp with a day off in between. beckett will be impressive in game 5 because he is impressive.

i was surprised with the game plan tonight to have daisuke be really fastball heavy when "the book" on the indians is that they're not the best on offspeed stuff. he looked sharp until the (missed location) fastball to lofton and then per usual as of the past couple months, 95+ pitches, 4 2/3rds - 5innings and he's out.

.

for anyone reading this after the fact, I actually posted this after what I thought was a strike three pitch Dustin Pedroia took, and it was a ball ... I wasn't bitching for the sox, it was an overall comment for both teams.

You HAVE to go with Wakes tomorrow ... you can't get Beckett all warmed up and risk the posibility the game gets called due to rain, then you're really screwed.

WAKES ... find that '03 ALCS magic ...
