If Dice-K doesn't get some run support tonight I'm gonna start to believe they are doing it to him on purpose!

I was thinking the same thing last night.

...and if Dice-K completely shits the bed and gives up a bunch of runs in one inning to a shitty team, I'm gonna start believing he's dong it to us on purpose.

I really want a blowout.
I just had many beers at a barbecue, and now I want to settle in for a laugher, since I won't be awake much longer.
/Going for the 7th inning, may it be 29-3 by then.
How does Tina Cervasio get the day off in the middle of Baltimore?
She wanted to go visit the row houses, thats it.

I'd be very happy if Tina took EVERY DAY off.
And replace her with more Kathryn Tappen, good call
I love Tina Cervasio.

Then you need to get out more.Edit: Papi!!!2-0
Ortiz vs. RHP, before the HR: .334/.442/.666
Woo Papi is my hero
Imagine what Ortiz's stats would look like if he was playing the entire season like last month?
The answer, 2006

Dice doesn't look too good again. It's gonna be an interesting one.
Way to go John Dorian Drew!
J.D. Drew - Lowndes County High School
Every single hitter has crushed the ball against this kid.
Except for Varitek, of course.

Forget I said anything.

Lugo got a hit, is he preparing for the postseason?
This BAL announcing team is pretty damn good. Palmer provides some good insights, and I noticed last night they aren't strike zone hypocrites.

Yeah, I have them as well, and I'm fine with them.
Jacoby Ellsbury kinda looks like Carlos Beltran, right down to his swing and shin guard. Anyone ever notice that?
If he turns out like him, wow.

Yeah I agree they are good, but remeber when they said that Schilling's bloody sox was a hoax?
Why does Dice K just explode some innings?
Well, this is the Dice-K inning. Bases loaded, no one out, let's see how many he gives up here.
I vote for 3.

Jesus what is wrong with him, this is just bad

I vote he doesn't make it past this inning. WTF is wrong with this kid?
I understand fatigue and all, but why can't he just miss a start instead of making such a joke out of himself?
Matsukaka sucks. He needs a break.
Meatballzaka is done... 
If Dice-K looks this bad now, what will he look like in the playoffs against better teams?
Well, it's only the third, but Tito has got to be ready with a quick hook.
Seriously...isn't it time for Dice to prove that he is as advertised? His melon just seems to leave the park a couple innings every start.
Is anyone up in the pen?????!!!!!!!!
Hook, please.
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
What the hell is Tito doing???
Pull him, Tito.
We have a nice lead in the standings, but we cannot give games away.
Dice-K is beyond done.

For the love of GOD, is someone up in the pen??!!
This is bad.
What the f*ck is Francona doing?
Now that scared me!
Francona needs to be burned as a witch!
Whose idea was it to glue Ttio's ass to the bench? Get the kid out of there. This just isn't a professional performance.

He's thinking Dice will get out of it and then shut them down for the next 4 like always.
ok time for him to go
Not sure who scares me more in game 2 of a PS series right now, DiceK or Schilling.

He walked in 2 runs, it's a bit late to "get out of it"
Man, good thing I was right in questioning all those constant 110+ pitch outings early in the season...
Damn.
Damn.
That was Moore's first hit of the season.
