Tuesday- 7:07 PM Beckett (14-4) vs. Romero (10-5) Wednesday- 7:07 PM Buchholz (1-3) vs. Halladay (13-5) Thursday- 7:07 PM Lester (9-7) vs. Richmond (6-6) Time for this team to get out of fucking limbo. Time for a sweep and then a home stand tear that gets us back on the map....or more mediocrity and passive aggressive comments from Francona about how the players are being a bunch of pussies.
Never in doubt for a second. I'll take this over getting 8 innings 2 runs from Beckett in a 2-1 loss.
Back in the wild card lead with the Rangers loss tonight. This game was really encouraging on two levels- once again nice to see Buchholz pitch well and the lineup finally hit well off an impact starter. Tomorrow looks good for the sweep before coming home. One thing to be happy about re: wild card chances. Texas plays about 10 more games on the road than at home for the rest of the year (too lazy too look up the exact number). Texas's plays very poorly on the road. This bodes well.
i saw that same sign when we kicked ass yesterday and the day before. why did beckett get blown up in the 1 start i went to?
i'd love for cappy to feast on this split, to bring up an old varitek argument. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=beckejo02&year=2009&t=p#catch our best pitcher this year, a top 10 AL cy getter, has these Ridiculous splits / catcher.
It's pretty stupid that he isn't. They could have swapped him and Penny since Penny would still be on regular rest due to the off day.
