Sox win.  Twins lose.

 

This is a great night. :headbang

 

This may be a very early question but does anybody know the tentative pitching rotation for our games against the Twins for June 30-July 2? I might be going to one of those games with my dad.

Wow. Well...

 

30th should be Wright

1st should be Garland

2nd should be Buehrle

 

This, of course, is assuming they don't skip people due to off-days and also assumes there will be no rain-outs.

He will get there, 17 RBIs > 13 GIDP.

I am afraid that you may be right. 13 GIDP's and an average of under .200. This has got to be one of the biggest meltdowns a Sox hitter has ever had. But, it's been happening since July of last year and just keeps getting worse.

to whom it may concern,

 

if his partisans didn''t so zealously and blindly defend him so unobjectively he wouldn't be sooooooo fun to rip --

 

See that right there is EXACTY the kind of smarmy, biased, not to mention funny-ironic tripe that I've been forced to shoot down since the season began:

 

1. You do not mention bad defese by Olivo and Jimenez in the second inning that gave Boston 4 outs and put a RISP. (And in a rare event that you do dedicate more than a couple of words to mention non-E6 gaffes, mockery is nowhere near to be found even though I am sure those players have their share of "zealots". More bias in other words.)

 

2. 1 out....A low line-drive over 3Bman's head that the runneer at 1st had to respect since if it's caught in the air, he gets doubled up at 1st.....it does go over the defender's head and is hit so hard that it takes almost no time for it to reach the 335--feet spot where it bounces right to Ramirez who throws a laser strike (same with which he gunned down Lee) to 'parra who then relays a perfecttly located dart to a catcher sitting right next to the plate.....And Valentin is still SAFE as replay (and announcers for both teams) would clearly show, certainly not the first or last time an important close call goes against the Sox since the Attack.... And YET you have the cojones and presence of mind to use that play as your basis for mockery and arrrogant Itoldyouso posturing? Pathetic.

 

3. But wait, transparent bias doesn't stop there- with gaame still tied, Val keeps the single from going through, (which would effectively put the runners 1st and 3rd, 1 out) and despite the grass being wet, he still fakes the throw to 1st (which means had Damon, a very smart runner, been trying to bluff, he would have been out by half a line)......But wait, if one were to listen to Mr. Objectivity (roman or cwsox, take your pick), it turns out Valentin "fell" and Garciappara reached base, with Sox being luckly that Damon took mercy on Jose's terrible error and decided not to advance to 3rd....When confronted with this egregious lapse in judgement, what does our resident truth-teller do? That's right--he defers to the Rooney/Farmer....LMAO.

 

It's only one game, mind you- this stuff has been taking place all season long, whitewashing and ignoring mistakes of non-Val players juxtaposed with incessant stretching & panting to "prove" how much Val sucks....all the while pretty much overlooking the many good plays of his like scoring from 3rd on infield pops, take extra bases, scoring, DP-ing, etc.... But then again when someone says that Clayton had "outhit" Manos in 2002, how much stock can you put in that person's baseball IQ/honesty?

 

 

I've said this before and I'll say this again: when people stop taking cheap shots at players, I will stop tying to "equalize". Fair is fair.
