Less than encouraging start for our de facto ace. We should, however, be able to get to Mr. Litsch.
I realize the Sox aren't down by 11 YET... but is anyone up in the pen??
Can someone please tell Tito it's about the win, not about how many innings or pitches Lester gets in!!!!!! They don't get rings for innings pitched!!!!
This game could still be won, but not after the pitch count looks right and the score is 11-0
It was 4-0 when I posted this... 5 runs to go

At least they have lost quick so I can leave for the day. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........
WOW!! Tito with the quick hook... 
This was going to be the first game I've seen live in about three weeks. I may have to join my wife in watching a Desperate Housewives video instead. Thanks a lot, boys!
Well, I do have a few things to rinse out.
enjoy!
enjoy!
little league world series here i come....
An Ukranine lady won the Gold in Kayaking. How's desperate Housewifes going.
I put 100% of the blame for this game on Fox and their stupid ass blackout restrictions.
None of this crap would have happened if we were simply allowed to exercise our right as fans to support our team.
F**k you, Fox. I hope everyone who works at your network gets bird flu.
And dies.

Ms. SATW is still putting the kids to bed, so I'm still watching. If it keeps going like this, I may put the video in myself... Or watch Ukrainian women in boats.

I thought there were only 2 acceptable ways for a member of this site to request death on someone.
A) Die in a fire.
B) Fall into a bucket of AIDS.
Shouldn't there be some kind of vote if we are going to add bird flu to the list?
I wish BigSlick would die in a fire.

Given that this is now the third Sox starter not to get through 3 in a week, I'm sure Tito wanted to keep him in as long as possible. Nothing like destroying an already suspect bullpen in late August!
Four innings to get 12 runs. It can happen...

death is merciful...here is what a survivor from FOX might look like (hidden to protect the children):

QUOTE(BigSlick @ Aug 23 2008, 12:36 PM)
And I hope you fall into a bucket of AIDS.
The thing with the bucket of AIDS is, it's really only effective if:
a) It's a really deep bucket, and the person doesn't know how to swim. In which case, "drown in a bucket of AIDS" would be more accurate.
b) It's a hard metal bucket, and the person hits their head and suffers a fatal head injury. In which case "fall onto a bucket of AIDS" might be more accurate.
c) The person is covered in open sores. That may be the case sometimes, but it might be best to make this a multiple step process to ensure that there will be open sores. Like, "Get molested by a leper with herpes, then run through a rose bush, trip, and fall into a bucket of AIDS."
Otherwise, falling into a bucket of AIDS is gross. But dying in a fire is probably way more fatal.
Wait... You mean the Sox players are allowed to run the bases, too? Huh.
Edit: No, they are not. Stand on first, maybe. Not run. And Coco looks at strike three. Wonderful.
