Game time: 7:05 pm
Scheduled starters: Joe Saunders (13-5, 3.10) v. Josh Beckett (9-7) 3.83
The game will be on NESN
Boston weather: 4 pm observation at KBOS: Wind out of the southeast at 14 mph, visibility 10 miles, scattered clouds at 6,000 feet and 14,000 feet, temperature 79F, DP 61F
Forecast: Summer night! The wind is blowing in from right now, but should come around from the south after sunset. The dew point is likely to rise during the night because there's a lot of moist air ahead of a cold front moving in from the Great Lakes area. So it might be a bit muggy, but there won't be any rain.

Where are the bats?
Edit: The WIDE zone doesn't help.

Maybe if Manny is traded Beckett will be less distracted by the shenanigans and will pitch better!
Apparently there is life on the Sox after all! But what are the odds of Coco hitting a HR and driving in Tek?

My feet are getting cold I'm starting to see frost on the lawn...
...and Beckett giveth away.
****ing Angels!!! WE have only won ONCE against them that was way back in April.. ever since Mike Sciosca bitched about us beating them, we have lost all games ever since..
Beckett totally sucking tonight.
Remember when Beckett was a reliable acewho could stop a losing streak?

That was kinda like watching batting practice...
I don't think this team is even trying anymore. Screw this, I'm playing Xbox.
Josh will be lights out next season...he's our #3 this year (Josh doesn't pitch well in even numbered years).
This is like watching an over-matched LL team fold under pressure. I think it's safe to say all of this Manny stuff is causing problems...
well maybe a nice sweep and a trade of manny is what they need to get their heads out of their asses
or maybe this will be like 2006 where they just blow
or maybe this will be like 2006 where they just blow
You have to wonder if they can deal Manny and have 2004 all over again, or is this another WS hangover like 2005?
This team is one dead ass.
Hopefully, this will eliminate the "they can't win the world series without Manny" talk. As of now, this isn't even a playoff team. The black cloud needs to be moved, I would much rather watch someone who is content with their muti-million dollar contract play in left. I have to believe his teammates feel the same way.

Actually, we're a game ahead of the Yankees and Twins for the Wild Card. So as of now, this is in fact a playoff team.
