5/21 vs The Lone Rangers

[Thunder]

Now that just won't do. Not hitting with RISP is strictly prohibited. It shouldn't happen. It shouldn't be the one thing holding this team down, with the firepower that is present in the lineup. A wake up call is needed. LA is coming. We know that they will take advantage of a team that cannot get hits when they need to the most. Joe Kelly was pretty good last night. Clay Buchholz will be even better tonight. Remember that game a few years ago when the Sox scored 10 in the first? Yeah, that was against the Rangers. Let's do it again, shall we, gents (and VA and Kimmi)?

This will be the start of a win streak that should bring some GT maker, in person mojo by time Sunday comes around. I have home plate seats btw. I'll post some pictures. #ThreeMoreDays

LHP Wandy "I peaked years ago" Rodriguez (1-2, 3.86) vs Clay "I know I am capable of greatness, even though many TalkSox users have given up on me" Buchholz (2-4, 4.93).

I have two little words:

Just WIN!

Can you let someone else start the GT's Thunder? Goddamn.

What? Three hours is sufficient enough, and there's been plenty of people that have done them more often than me. I'm going for the double mojo deal.

[User Name?]

Other people here work, and can't get on the computer to start the GT whenever they want.

[Thunder]

I'm aware of that.

[Spudboy]

In any case,

GO SOX!!!1!!!1!

[VA Sox Fan]

[Jasonbay44]

Lets shit on their chests!

[Kimmi]

I want to see our line up bat around and score 6 runs in one inning. When was the last time we've seen a rally like that?

I also want to see our team win more than 1 or 2 games in a row. We've only done that once this season, and that was back on April 9-11.

Enough messing around. Time for the Sox to get hot.

Go Sox!!!

[NativeBostonian]

And here we go again. Fucking space cadet.

[Thunder]

Not a good sign right out of the gate...

[NativeBostonian]

The most frustrating part about Buchholz is you know he can be a really good pitcher. But, he's always in his head.

[Thunder]

I'm getting tired of this.

[NativeBostonian]

I really want that Napoli bobble head. If anyone gets one, I'll buy it from you.

[Thunder]

At least we haven't left anyone on base yet.

[NativeBostonian]

At least we haven't left anyone on base yet.
It's early.

[Thunder]

Was that a lead off base hit? Am I seeing things?

[jad]

Ouch. Is that Cy Young on the mound?

[Thunder]

This team has to get their act together fast.

[d-money]

Utter shit fest thus far! This team is unwatchable

[Thunder]

Looks like the Sox bats got stuck in traffic on the Mass Pike and missed the first 3 innings.

[NativeBostonian]

Wow, they scored.

[Jasonbay44]

Hey a run!

[NativeBostonian]

Yes, I hate the stupid shift.

[Spudboy]

Men on second and third with no outs and Betts comes in.

That's it though!

Unbelievable.

This smells so much like last year.

[d-money]

This team stinks!!! They cant do nothing right

[Station 13]

This team reaches lower and lower each time.

[Jasonbay44]

Such awful luck

[NativeBostonian]

Fuck our luck.

[Thunder]

Once in a lifetime kind of bad luck right there.

[Station 13]

LOL that's all I got.

[Thunder]

Papi seems to be hitting into the shift all the time now. Why can't he go the other way like in year's past?

[wyo-sox]

OK, I just got home from work... looks like I've missed more of the same.

[SoxHop]

Looking real good.

Flirting with losing a series we should have taken easily.

[wyo-sox]

I wonder how nervous our hitting coach is these days?

[wyo-sox]

Wow, easy there Xander.

[NativeBostonian]

I wonder how nervous our hitting coach is these days?

He's got to be considered firing our pitching coach worked wonders.

[wyo-sox]

I often doubt how much value a hitting coach really adds at this level... but he is collecting a paycheck and the team sure ain't hitting.

[wyo-sox]

Napoli being Napoli...

[Thunder]

After this game, I need to rethink life.

[wyo-sox]

I'm still pretty confident the team works out of this slump... but wow this is tough to keep watching every night.

[a700hitter]

This is so frustrating. Wandy is a half full hefty garbage bag and he is schooling us like the no-name last night schooled us.

[Thunder]

It's a weird system. Paxton for Seattle shut us down on Sunday as well, but we beat King Felix, Sonny Gray and Dickey on the last road trip. We have Garrett Richards tomorrow, so we should win, using this logic.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice game for Xander

[wyo-sox]

This is so frustrating. Wandy is a half full hefty garbage bag and he is schooling us like the no-name last night schooled us.

Yep, I just keep thinking, "They just can't be this bad can they?"

[mvp 78]

Nava you suck
Clap clap clapclapclap

[Jasonbay44]

Nava fucking sucks

[Thunder]

I'm starting to think that we're a much better team on the road.

[SoxHop]

I'm becoming comfortably numb.

[NativeBostonian]

Why is Nava still on this team?

[mvp 78]

Die Nava Die!

[NativeBostonian]

I'm sorry. But, you've got to be all kinds of retard to not realize you need to call up Rusney Castillo.

[wyo-sox]

Outfield could save at least a run a game if it's JBJ, Castillo, and Betts. Teams not hitting anyway. Put Han Ram on first. Goodbye Nap. Goodbye Nava. I know there's a few reasons this couldn't happen... but something needs to change.

Has Hanley ever played first?

[Thunder]

This team is making the 2014 version of JBJ look like the Sliver Slugger award winner.

[a700hitter]

I'm sorry. But, you've got to be all kinds of retard to not realize you need to call up Rusney Castillo.
There are $72 million reasons to bring him up.

[a700hitter]

Panda has made better contact with his knee than with his bat this week.

[SoxHop]

The closer by committee, aka our bullpen sucks, is doing pretty good against Boston cream puff bats.

That's an insult to cream puffs.

[iortiz]

wow!... officially this team can't hit.

[a700hitter]

I don't put much stock in the positive effect of pitching or hitting coaches on individual performances, but goodness, with this many guys stinking up the place, I think the team batting average would go up 20 points if the owners retrieved Ted Williams' head.

[wyo-sox]

Has Hanley ever played first?

He would not do any more damage on defense than he is in the outfield. I'm sure most MLB ss's can play first base.

Ouch!!

You are giving me nightmares...... Hanley at first..... Yikes!

[NativeBostonian]

It's officially more fun to me to pick the peeling skin off myself than watch this game.

[wyo-sox]

You are giving me nightmares...... Hanley at first..... Yikes!

Yes, because converting a catcher that can't hit to be our first baseman and converting a SS that can hit to be our left fielder, but can't play outfield well.. is much different and not helping us win at all ????? That's an actual nightmare we are seeing right now. Having a better hitting first bman and better defensive left fielder can't be that crazy.

[wyo-sox]

Nap should hit a homer now and prove me wrong...

Possible. But I think it would be a disaster.

You actual have to have your head in the game to be a first baseman. And Napoli is a good first baseman. He just can't hit right now.

Personally, I think Hanley would be a colossal mess up at first, and he would be involved in many more plays.

[a700hitter]

Nap should hit a homer now and prove me wrong...Those adjustments he made after talking to Pedey have worked wonders for Naps.:rolleyes:

[wyo-sox]

gross

[SoxHop]

Those adjustments he made after talking to Pedey have worked wonders for Naps.:rolleyes:

Yea, fixed it for exactly one game.....

[wyo-sox]

You are probably correct. I'm posting more out of frustration than logic.

[Station 13]

Fuck off Napoli, Holt, Nava

[wyo-sox]

I think I'll watch the Cubs Padres game, I have several of my fantasy players in that game, it'll be more fun to watch.

[SoxHop]

You are probably correct. I'm posting more out of frustration than logic.

Who knows....... anyone thinking about getting Napoli out this line up is sane..... he is sucking bad........ and I think this maybe his worst slump he has ever had or has had for years.......

[wyo-sox]

And it's not just not getting hits.. it's awful looking swings and at bats. Maybe all the extra sleep he is getting is not good for him, lol.

Done in by a super model girlfriend. Kryptonite.

She is probably stealing his precious bodily fluids........ he should deny her his life essence.

[SoxHop]

The Red Sox blow....... I hope the Angels take it easy on us..

[d-money]

So the sox have scored 2 or fewer runs in 13 of the 19 games in may. They are 3-10 in those games . Downright pathetic!!

[User Name?]

This teaam is making me rage so fucking hard right now. Wandy Rodriguez......are you assholes serious with this bullshit? This is a team made to mash lefties at Fenway, so why won't you mash lefties at Fenway for fuck's sake?

[Spudboy]

Has Hanley ever played first?

I don't know but I have a feeling he would be a nightmare trying to pick throws out of the dirt and keeping wild throws in front of him.

Plus he looks like a lazy fuck. I think the results would make the left field assignment look brilliant.

[Spudboy]

She is probably stealing his precious bodily fluids........ he should deny her his life essence.

Did you ever see Dr. Strangelove??????????

Yea..... I was stealing from that movie........

I still think Jack D Ripper talking to Mandrake about the commie plot maybe the funniest scene I've ever seen in a movie........

Offense is down in baseball. Maybe they should start juicing the baseball.

[User Name?]

Offense is fine. The Red Sox are just sucking.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hit by batted ball? Really? What's next? Throwing a no-hitter and losing 2-0 on five consecutive catcher's interference calls? What the fuck.

Yeah, what an awesome movie. One of the best ever made.

A true classic. The subject matter was very serious and scary yet the movie was extremely funny.
