If you want to attract people, first you gotta give us ten runs, then give them back, then fall behind, and then get on top again.

Call me "Old School" but an old fashioned lopsided win is very attractive!

The Rangers may yet have a couple - or a couple dozen - runs in them. But damn, Jon Lester just continues to be more and more in control of the game when he takes the mound.

Lester could very well be the key guy come playoff time...
Beckett
Dice-K
Lester
looks like a formidable playoff rotation.

If Lugo gets his spot back when healthy over Lowrie, Tito needs his head examined.
It's still Tuesday?
What a great play by the fan!!!

Yeah!!! No way Tek could've struck out without that play!!!!
Crisp might be the biggest disappointment ever. Hard to believe he could ever hit, but there is evidence that points in that direction.
What's the defensive plan for the 8th?
Cora SS
Youk 1B
Lowrie 3B?
Uh....never mind. Answered my own question.

They have 12 LOB tonight between them...
Well, so much for the shutout. Lester sucks.

Yes, apparently our middle relief sucks again.
I pray Timlin is planning to retire.
****ing!! Here we GO AGAIN!!!!! ****ing Timlin... his pitches looks VERY FLAT.. Take HIM out.. I saw this coming by a mile ( Bradley HR )
Oh and Thanks Timlin for racking up the runs on Lester for tonight stats.

I love the high socks that Timlin wears.
I just wish there was a better pitcher in the socks.

The scary thing is, he's as good as any guy in the pen... save Paps and Oki.

That's what I can't figure out-him, MDC, Hansen before he left-so much stuff on the ball, why do they get hit so hard?

I wasn't going to watch this game, tuned in just in time for the Boston 7th. I was thinking of watching the movie Texas Chainsaw massacre. Hope this ends better than that did.
Geez, I was screaming.. 3 more outs to go! I can't believe Texas is more lethal then NYY.

Especially with all their injuries.
I feel a little sick right now.
For the love of oscar!!! Throw a strike!
