Sic 'em champ!

I'm going to miss the first few innings, let's hope they beat on the Grinch! Damn, amazing how many a-holes are on the Sox, led by Beckett.. headhunting punk.

I've got phaith in Phil.

Go Phil!

Nice, scrabby AB so far.

Line drive single. YES.

bad bunt. Tried for a hit. But still, let him steal first, DJ.

THROW THE FUCKING BALL YOU SHITKICKING MORON

Man, it'd be great if a batter just let the bat go flying out at Beckett's knees.

After Curtis whiffed, Tex has a full count...

Fuck. Got him swinging. And Beckett flicks his glove at what exactly? Fuckface.

[7] Gardner's safe 99 times out of 100, conservatively, against Varitek. Should have waited for the steal.

I know this isn't news. But I have no phaith.

In the name of Jesus, my god Curt Schilling is a pompous gasbag.

Not sure I can go the full 9 on the four-letter network.

[12] Steal, then bunt.

Any idea why Beckett seemed pissed at Garnder as he left the mound? I mean, besides the fact that Beckett's an ass.

You better pace yourself there, Alex!

Good velocity from Hughes so far.

Phil with a little gasoline. 95 mph heater right passed Ellsbury.

16) No idea but I caught that too. He's a shithead.

17) No, kidding. LOL.

Oh my, Schilling AND Nomar in the fucking booth???

ESPN isn't even fucking pretending to be neutral anymore ...

14) Holy cow, that's unbearable. You have my sympathies.

Nice to see that! Don't see too many swing strikes from Phil these days. Even in the 3 GS game, when he had 7 Ks, most were caught looking.

It's cute how they let Pedrioa use a grown-up bat.

The only thing I can think of about Gardner was maybe Beckett felt he was relaying signs to the hitter.

[21] Ah, it's okay ... I've switched back over to mlb.tv.

I was just checking out the 4-letter feed for a change of pace.

[24] Then perhaps he should've stared him down for five minutes in between each pitch. Oh, wait. That's exactly what he did. This game should be over by midnight or so.

[24] That's what the ESPN crew was saying. Not saying GGBG was doing the relaying, just that Beckett seemed to be upset because he thought GGBG was doing it ...

Glad I've got the YES feed, even with Kay.

C'mon Phil, don't lose him.

Oh take a seat Ortiz! Pouting ain't going to change anything!

So I guess I'm not the only one that thought Beckett was pitching slow as hell

Hey, a non-strikeout.

Phuck yeah!

Way to go, kid!

Let's go Cervelli.

Nice. Now get him in.

what the heck is Frankie doing?

Same result as a bunt.

Brains. You got lucky. Wtf with the first 2 pitches!

Cervelli was overmatched. Surprised he put it in play.

The rare 3-4-3 out.

Shit, he's cooked now.

Geez, do you have to insert a quarter to get Beckett to pitch?

Ugh.

Hall of Fame RBI. LOL

FINALLY a break against these chumps!

If the most amazing cf in the game couldn't catch that, no one could. Ha!

Derek comes through.

[43] I wouldn't waste a slug on that jerk.

Wow, that was ugly.

Welp, that could have been worse.

1947? Hmmm. Guy won his second triple crown, served during the war and still didn't get the MVP?

[52] Teddy Ballgame? Why exactly was he so hated in Boston at the time?

How is Philthy looking?

Good, taste of your own medicine. Fuck you, bitch.

52) Didn't win a WS, but more importantly, hated the press. They busted his chops, he took it personally and then was like Fuck You to them for the rest of his career.

Shite. I hate Beckett more than Curt Schilling and that's saying something.

[54] Daaaaam, AB got it going on tonight!

Sox plus Beckett brings out the insufferable douche bag in me.

Hey, FISK! Cool.

[56] Wow! Not sure there's any ball player I hate more than Curt Schilling..

Nice comeback inning.

[59] I feel like, eventually, I will hate Pedrioa more than Schilling. But that day has not yet come.

1. How well do you think Hughes has to pitch to stay in the rotation over heavy favorite Burnett?

2. Is he doing it?

(56) (59) AJ

59) Just between the lines. At least Schilling was a Hall of Famer--and if he's not, he's damn close--so his greatness shut me up, never mind his personality and politics. Beckett could have been great but isn't, though he's excellent. But fuck him sideways through the nose.

[55] Yeah, the press can be just as petty and spiteful as the rest of us.

He wasn't the reason Boston didn't win for 86 years. I can hate someone personally but if they've got the chops, recognize it. Manny was a great hitter. A jerk though.

61) Actually don't hate Dusty even though he's easy to hate. I guess he's just become too good for me to really hate. I'm just impressed.

65) Absolutely, I don't think it was fair to blame Williams for not winning the WS.

Beckett's pitching pace is stifling. The Yankees should call time out just before they think he will begin his wind-up just to piss him off.

I don't remember it being as exaggerated as this. Beckett is very unpleasant.

Phil looks ok, the Sox line-up is scary.

Alex! I hope your wife is not reading your comments...

Nasty stuff to Gardner.

[56] VARITEK

Whoever is currently on the screen wearing the sox uni I hate the most. The funny thing is I was listening to the radio late last night and the host mentioned how Ugly was in AAA for a few games. "Holy shit" I thought. " I just spent 4+ hours watching the game and that Shrek mf'er never even crossed my mind." Eat shit, Beckett! Asshole.

69) What I'm saying is much worse. I clean it up for the blog! She's used to it.

Pasta diving Lowrie!

C'mon Grandy.

[66] I don't actually hate Dusty either, just the incessant media hyp about him. Beckett is a total punk that needs a slap.

[71] And Riverdance. Endless douchery in Boston..

[73] You mean, instead of writing that you want to pull out Beckett's eyeball and skull fuck him, you just want him fucked up the nose sideways?

Baseball Reference has Cap Anson at over 3400 hits. That's a pretty huge disparity

Grandy just missed that.

[77] Nothing,*nothing* will be worse than starting a fist fight in armor. He should have been laughed out of the league for that. He was lauded.

Missed it.

How can you not hate dustbinmylittlepony? I am in agony that there is not more hatred for him round these parts. b double o. ; )

78) I say many politically incorrect things that I'd be ashamed to commit to print. LOL. The best thing is that although my wife is polite and cute, she also works in an emergency room, so she's tough and when she's unhinged she curses worse than a sailor. She's more upset by the loudness of my voice than the words that come out of it. LOL

83) I hear you. Can't call it. Think for me it's just easier to loathe pitchers than position players.

[83] It's really the media shit with him though, remember Bobby V and Orel practically blowing him on ESPN last month? I saw a short interview with Dusty on J tv here, he seemed funny and chilled out.
[81] Varitek needs someone to stuff that "C" up his ass.

That 2-1 curve JUUUUUST missed.

Dag, got away with one there.

fuck it, challenge him with the gas.

AJ Burnett is staying in the rotation

But not. Right. THere.

[84] So she understands the words cominouttayourmouth?

Why hate the Pony when you have Cano? That's like hating an ice cream cone when you have a hot fudge sundae with sprinkles, whipped cream and a cherry on top...

OMG Ortiz CLAPPED when he crossed the plate! Drill him!

[86] Hey, have a care. Varitek needs to know what position he plays.

最悪！何それ、ばかやろう！Why do they fucking pitch to Ortiz anymore??!

Hughes looked okay tonight but you know what? 4 runs in 5 innings is not going to get it done.

[81] Good point. His recent ineptitude has dulled the hatred, I guess.

[86] That ESPN coverage was truly biased for Boston during the last Yanks/Sox game. I guess Bobby V will always hate the Yankees, therefore his Boston bias.

And how could Hughes lay that cookie on Ortiz. The expected result. Need runs now, or this game will have the scripted outcome.

[96] And I'm telling you, he needed to do even better than good to keep his job. Cashman is doing the Snoopy Dance right now

[92] Because he's short, he's mouthy, and he kills the Yankees. Plus, I live in the Boston area, so I have to hear about him all the time.
