Sinstripes At Red Sox Series, Starting September 13, 2013

[Brahmsian]

We're going to need Salty and our other regulars rested and our benchies sharp for the upcoming playoffs.

So what say we rub New York's nose in it by letting our benchies get most of the ABs in this set?

The idea does have some appeal, doesn't it?

GO RED SOX!

I know it is next to impossible for us to lose the east, but shouldn't we wait until we actually clinch it before we give a playoff contender a chance to make them? Maybe I'm simply a worrier but the Yanks still scare me.

Think of it this way: Beating the Sinstripes with most of our regulars sitting will be sweeter than beating them other ways.

Worrying too much about final standings is counter-productive. Working to maximize readiness is much preferable.

 

[Brahmsian]

Almost game time.

Corrode Kuroda, Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

Tour the bases,Red Sox!

Let's make Sinstripe fans use the "weeping" smiley!

 

[Brahmsian]

A 4 run 1st inning!

More of those, please, Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

At his present pace it would take Kuroda 263 pitches to go 9 innings.

Someone care to approximate the odds against him having that much stamina?

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's score some more runs, Red Sox!

I want to BURY the Sinstripes!

 

[Brahmsian]

Bullpen time!

Lackey has pitched decently but he's tiring.

GET THE WIN IN THE BOOKS, RED SOX!

 

[navamind]

more stupidity from Farrell.

more stupidity from Farrell.

I think you're a bit too harsh there.

Breslow didn't get the job done but Not-My-Valentine would have left Lackey in there for
possibly another full inning. He was that bad at recognizing pitcher fatigue!

 

[Brahmsian]

I'm a lot more comfortable with Workman than I am with Breslow.

Not sure I actually should be, but I am.

GO BoSOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

That makes 2 Red Sox grand slams I've missed in a week because I was on another website.

 

[Brahmsian]

It may not be a save situation, but I don't want Uehara getting even a little rusty this close to the post-season.

Go with him, Farrell!

 

[Brahmsian]

One step closer to the bugler playing "Taps" over the Yankees!

Good night!

 

[Brahmsian]

Lester against Sabathia less than an hour from now.

GO RED SOX!

 

[Brahmsian]

I lost track of time getting involved in some non-sporting stuff on-line or I would have posted the above earlier.

I've got some vCash on Lester today and a smaller amount on the "under"
since this looks like a pitching duel to me. Who's with me on either?

 

[Brahmsian]

We're going to have to listen to the Fox broadcaster's pro-New York bias and endure endless shots of the Sinstripe dugout on today's broadcast. NERTZ to pretending I like that!

On the other hand I won't have to listen to my friend's complaint's about Eckersley as an announcer.

I don't think Eck's a great announcer, but my friend wants him fired,YESTERDAY.

Such is life.

 

[Brahmsian]

A 7 pitch inning for Sabathia?

Let's not have any more of that,Red Sox!

 

[Brahmsian]

An 18 pitch 2nd inning for Sabathia is more like it!

It's still a bit short of what we know is possible with this team,
but definitely better than the 1st inning was.

KICK NEW YORK BUTT, RED SOX!
