Red Sox At Rockies Series, Starting September 23

[Brahmsian]

I have mostly pleasant memories of the time I spent in Colorado decades ago, so our having clinched the division title already won't be the only reason it won't matter much to me if we lose this series.

Colorado's scheduled starting pitcher is 3d year man Tyler Chatwood, who was 6-11 his rookie year
with the Angels, 12-11 since then with the Rockies. He comes into tonight with a season WHIP of
1.486 with 3.5 BB/9 innings, both of which are improvements over his career numbers.

Starting for us will be Jake Peavy, season WHIP 1.074 with only 2.3 BB/9 and an 8.7 season K/BB ratio.

Sounds like justification for a vCash bet on our side,doesn't it?

 

[Brahmsian]

OOPS!

The series doesn't start till tomorrow. Strictly my own mistake.

 

[Brahmsian]

Chatwood is making his warm-up tosses now.

StRays are leading the Sinstripes in the 4th inning of their game in the South Wronx.

 

[Brahmsian]

Better early than late if you're talking about being behind.

 

[Brahmsian]

Bullpen time, already!

Lackey is in "Lacking" mode tonight!

 

[Brahmsian]

It's not as if the Red Sox have never come from behind, so let's not give up yet, even
if the situation is unattractive at the moment.

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's at least not get shutout, Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

Now at least 3 more runs, SOON, Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

Time to let the benchies play. We don't actually need this win, so why risk an injury to a regular?

 

[Brahmsian]

Last night's loss ended our chance for 100 regular season wins, but with the division title clinched that isn't very important. Tonight Peavy against someone named Chacin. I'll look up the stats later ecause I'mnot going tohave accessto my computer for a while.

Dodgers at San Francisco on ESPN after our game. being somewhat fond of San Francisco teams I may watch that.

Sinstripes hosting the stRays will be the1st half of tonight's ESPN doubleheader, FYI.

 

[Brahmsian]

Good to see Jacoby back in the lineup!

Sinstripes trailing the stRays in the 5th inning of their game.

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

3 runs in and Chacin up to 24 pitches already.

Nice start!

 

[Brahmsian]

7-2 stRays over the Sinstripes in the 6th.

Sinstripes lose tonight, they're GONE!

GOOD RIDDANCE!

 

[Brahmsian]

Sinstripes down in order for the 2nd consecutive inning, FYI.

7-2 stRays over the Sinstripes in the 6th.

Sinstripes lose tonight, they're GONE!

GOOD RIDDANCE!

Uh... This was one of those times you should have been rooting for the Yankees.

Wouldn't it be much nicer to have Cleveland and Texas in the WC game?

Wouldn't it be much nicer to have Cleveland and Texas in the WC game?

Me root for the Yankees?

ONLY if the Red Sox need them to win to avoid elimination. That was hardly the case last night.

Who does actually play in that game is very minor to me.
