In case you were unaware, Lester and Francona are conspiring to throw Game 3. http://forum.sbrforum.com/baseball-...ne-worst-loses-team-history-monday-night.html
We're underway. If Lester continues to pitch the way he has, the Red Sox are in very good shape for this game. Bottom of the 1st, 0-0.
A nice 5 pitch first inning for Lester. TBS cut out the booing of the Devil Rays during the pregame intros, not sure why.
one of the announcers started his home run call on Pedroia's ball off the wall. :rofl: A John Sterling moment. He said Crawford "will wave..."
Tough strikeout by Varitek there. Varitek just sucks, though. I'm surprised Kotsay made it to second. When the ball was hit, I thought Bay would make it to third but that Kotsay would have to stick at first. Instead, he was in standing up.
2nd and 3rd with 1 out and they can't get a run home. 1-0 Rays in the 3rd now. Lester walked a man to lead off the 2nd and now allows a single to Bartlett to lead off the 3rd.
Interesting stat from John Miller The Rays have not lost a game all season when leading by more than 4 runs and Red Sox did not win a game when trailing by 5 or more runs. Jinx......
Wasn't that guy like 0 for 6 on his last predictions? I guess if you make a ton of crazy and wild predictions you're bound to get a few right here and there
It is beneath me to make serious baseball comments in a thread with a fictitious team name. I do like that the Devil Rays are beating the Pink Socks, though. That is good.
Like I've been saying...All this talk, all year, from Red Sox fans who have no idea how solid of a ball team we have has made this season that much more exciting for thousands of Rays fans... It's beyond me how these fans have over looked a Rays team who was sweeping great teams all year long...It;s beyond me how I get called out from that Red Sox fan after one Red Sox win...The same Red Sox fan that refuses to respect the Rays and call them by their name? lol, that really means much :beer: All this talk from Boson fans, like..."The Rays lack the postseason experience to win under pressure". or what about... "Rays fans know nothing about Baseball because "this Devil Rays Team" Has never won anything before....Remember the 04 Red Sox? Funny how the broke the curse...Funny how Boston fans forget so fast about those losing seasons... Like I've been saying...Garza is lights out, just check the score...5-0, the Rays players flat out, str8 up...Dominated this young kid... 7th inning. B.J Upton proves once again....In the postseason, that he's another premire center fielder for this exciting Rays team....Longoria proves why he's one of the best rookies drafted in some time...Aki Iwimura proves that the Rays now have a superstar from Japan as our leadoff hitting, 2nd basemen. How about Crawford, Navarro and Bartlett? Wow...What an overall team we have. Garza has bee lights out... Sonnantine against Wakefield tomorrow? I'm loving it. 3-1 can be here before you know it...Call me a cocky Rays fan..I learn from the "BEst of em" That Red Sox nation just knows soooo much more about baseball than other teams...Such as the Rays. This dude really wants to call the Rays..."Devil Rays"? Does he not know we have new players, a new manager, a new front office....A new owner who knows about winning baseball has has shown in less than 3 years, that he's committed to winning baseball...Does he now know that this is not the "Devil Rays" Of Jose Canseco, Fred McGriff...Wade Boggs...Does he not understand that things change in baseball? Has he 4got the losing seasons of the Red Sux...Yup thats right...New nick name for those Boston Red Sux...Win a WS about an average of every other 30 years... Rays-2 Red Sux-1 "Devil Rays"-5 (Garza) Red Sux- 0 (Good oll Jonny boy) Mind if I make the World Series thread? "Tampa Bay Rays VS NLCS Champions"
Hats off to Garza, he pitched like a warrior on the mound this afternoon. Runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs...Our bullpen is lights out...Hold em to only one here in the 7th and the game is pretty much over
Lester didn't have his good stuff tonight at all. I wonder if he's hitting the wall after all those innings this year.
