Theres the strike you were looking for

wow that hurt....he crushed it !

Cano is on fire. Wait, this entire lineup is on fire.

What's the record for 12-plus runs?

**** YOU VAN BUREN!!! **** THIS PITCHING STAFF!! WHAT A ****ing DISGRACE TO THE RED SOX!!!

I turned off the Sox on my big tv, i had them on the little one until that HR....now...I am gonna be honest, I turned on Gone with the Wind and turned off the small tv

....and more balls!! hahaha

he we go with the Boston masacre crap...and yes the yankees look to shatter that run scoring mark by tomorrow but it is really scary how bad our pitching staff is

You my friend Mr Francona are a joke

Hey...maybe we can get the leadoff man on next inning and bunt him over.

And what does that exactly mean? Some guys become good later. Or do they have to be good at the same time? Papelbon is 26, but last year (at 25) he wasn't nearly as good as those you mentioned, or as he is now.

And anyway, if you think that Hansen is as good as K-Rod, you're in for a HUGE disappointment. Hansen might be good, really good, but K-Rod is a superstar closer... big time difference.

I don't see your point anyway. Do you mean that if our prospects aren't as good as those you mentioned, then they suck? You know you mentioned great players, not just "prospects", right?

terry looks like he is a sneeze away from just snapping, I would be too

thank God we designated Seanez???
what did he do that these guys haven't

Snyder? Isnt he starting on Tuesday???

When do you think the crowd turns on the sox?

This one did about 12 hours ago!!

Let's clone Paps five time and Schilling five times and just ROTATE them.

Is Sal Fasano from the 1982 team with that Mustache?

i miss his fu manchu

Terry seems very cool-headed but they aren't just losing, they are getting embarrassed out there. Throw some chairs after the game, don't think it will translate onto the field but it will FEEL GOOD.

You know, now im hoping we lose by ALOT so the front office is left with no choice but to do something, anything to improve. But based on histroy the FO and Theo act like they dont give a sh*t

That is the - get this - 13th walk given by sox pitching today. Nice pairing with the 13 hits given up by sox pitching today.

what is there to do? They did nothing at the break and only garbage will be available over the waiver wire. Well, aside from Lieber.

I suspect that the Kenmore Square scalpers are going to be eating a lot of tickets tomorrow and Monday...

Snyder PLEASE hit Damon!!!

what will that do aside from show how utterly incompetent the FO is, then they get mad and throw at the guy who accepted more money. Damn, what an ass.

Well there's that, and It would just make me feel good

I think this is the wrong game thread in which to get all logical.

18 is the MLB record...

Bowden will be up by 2009 to bring us to the promised land. We're not ****** forever.

Beckett-Bowden-Buchholz-Babelbon-Bester. That could be the new killer B's rotation by 2009, if Papelbon and Lester change their names.

WTF is Tim talking about...SHUT THE **** UP!! He's just going on and on and on...do FOX executives not realize this guy is an idiot?

Another thing the sox completely BLEW today was the fact that they didnt become patient enough to get into the yankee pen. If they lose today, then they lose. But Villone, Proctor, Myers, Rivera will all be ready for tomorrow. If Farnsworth feels good, then he will be ready too. The entire yankee pen will be on hand tomorrow while the sox will be down again. If Schilling gets in trouble again, then the yanks will score double digits once again.

I couldn't have said it more eloquently!!

Can I tryout for the team after the game

Wily Mo Pena with a ****ing terrific swing...

You could have just stopped with the first line....Another thing, the sox completely BLEW today

are you guys being serious or kidding. Sounds like the Theo's swill is being dispensed throughout the nation. Chant it with me now.

The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
It has nothing to do with the management. This team has a great farm system. Sox will be great in 08.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The FO didnt detonate the first WS winner in BOS since 1918, they made the team better in the long run!!!
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.
The sox suck because they are in transition.

Um, we're already losing by a LOT. And I don't think we should root for the FO to completely spaz like the fans, because it'll only lead to them doing something awe-inspiringly stupid. Or more stupid than what they've already done, depending on your POV.

I was kidding. Aside from Papelbon. He has Cy Young material all the way. And Beckett and Lester have talent. Maybe (MAYBE) one day they'll play to their potential, but they're works in progress now and nothing else.
Bowden and Buchholz... I've never even seen them, so I have no clue. They might be anywhere from Cy Young to Jason Johnson as far as I know...

What a waste of the best 1 - 2 punch in baseball. What a freaking waste....

Well, we may just go down in history as the worst supporters ever. Sorry to disappoint you all, but I believe this team in overall is better than the Yankees and any other. Bad days will always exist, I just keep my faith they'll do it like they did in 04.

If the FO is not completely and totally ashamed by the events of the past two days, then I'd like to personally kick them out the door. Three games in A ROW allowing 12+ runs...unacceptable.

Got any more of whatever you ate/smoked/snorted/inhaled/injected before you wrote that?

What are you smoking? Because I need a toke...

Edit: Bergs beat me to it

rosey glasses. rosey glasses.

Well you just may be dilusional. It's ok though, because acceptance isn't far behind.

Ding ding ding. Another winnah!!!

The sox have a right now ball club with the most prolific 2 man combo since Gehrig and Ruth and the FO is letting that slip away by surrounding them with bargain basement signings and undervalued pitching. We have found out why the bargains were kept in the basement and why the players were undervalued. BECAUSE THEY SUCKED. A right now club is watching the right now go down the tubes.

Only thing that could salvage this day would be if Peter Gammons wrote an article about the state of the Sox...well if Gammo wrote anything today would make me feel better

I feel bad for Ramirez/Ortiz/Papelbon/and Schilling for having to play with these scrubs everyday.

This team is pathetic. Nice move bringing up Van Burne Theo you blockhead. What was wrong with Breslow? Do you like not having one lefty to face Giambi/Abreu/Melky/Damon?? Thank you Mr. Epstein fo leaving all the fans...and players out to dry by putting together one of the worst bullpens and staffs we have had in quite some time.... I really am congratulating Theo...you gotta try pretty damn hard to have a Pen where every pitcher absolutely sucks...except for Paps...Bravo Theo..Bravo.. Theo needs to make things right for next year..He has had $130 mill to spend and he has produced jack squat.. I don't give him any credit for fielding a sacrificial lamb for the White Sox last year...and even less for the joke he has assembled this year. I just cannot believe the HUGE holes we had...and that he did NOTHING to fix any of them. All to keep Hansen/Delcarmen/and Lester... Honestly, they all suck.... Phillip Hughes is a REAL pitching prospect. Hopefully Bard/Bowden/and Buckholtz all turn out to be..
