Season game thread

[JCizzle]

Verlander was just silly good. Throwing 100 with 122 pitches thrown, very impressive.

I was really amazed. If I were the Tigers, I'd never let him go that deep though - can't be good for him long term.

[Celtics_Champs]

Yeah, not Adrian, even better. Alex!!

it's close.

It's a done deal. Sox get Gonzo and 1.1 mil, Reds get shortstop Kristopher Negron.

Negron was in single A, guess he can play all over the place and has a good glove and speed. He however can't hit.

[Celtics_Champs]

This is the first full pre game show I've watched in awhile...

Is this for real? They just had a bad comedian come on and do a BAD skit about texas. Do they always do this?

Actually, I'm really starting to dislike NESN. They do cover the games very well, both sox and bruins. But Sportsdesk is like ESPN JR.

I don't know about you guys, but when I was young, and it was just bob rodgers and jayme parker in 15 minute segments, and it was fine with me. This try to be hip crap is getting annoying.

Cole Wright is the antichrist.

[Celtics_Champs]

Yeah he is.

JCizzle or SSK, either of you interested in joining the pats fantasy league? We could use a couple guys. I decided to check here before going to the celtics board.

[Dirty Water]

Is it me, or are we grounding into an obnoxious amount of double plays lately?

[Celtics_Champs]

That's the ortiz we all know and love.

[greenbeans]

That atbat by Victor was great. Reminded me of a couple years ago, when we had hitters who saw more than 2 pitches an ab.

[JCizzle]

Yeah he is.

Appreciate the invite, but I'll pass. I'm notorious for playing the first week of fantasy then never doing it again for the rest of the season.

[JCizzle]

Lester was dealing again. He struck out nearly 2/3 of the batters he faced during the game - ridiculous.

[greenbeans]

I was pleased to see the about-to-be-dfa'd Woodward only get one out. I was positive that was gonna turn into a double play at the time. And he had to know he was one foot out the door with the arrival of Gonzo. Thanks Woody.

[greenbeans]

Yeah he is.

I love that, because people like you make mefeel like I'm not as terrible as I really am.

[Dirty Water]

yeah at least he honest, have to respect that. i hate when people join leagues then just go MIA the whole season

[Celtics_Champs]

Yeah, I hate that too. Especially football, it's only once or so a week you have to check.

But I'll tell ya what I do love, Frank Viola calling a game. Sitting there with his opened shirt, bling with his number on it, hidden in his chest hair.

I miss Remy.

Or eck, heck I've gotten used to him.

As for the actual game, victor is on a tear. Let's see if they can come back.

[Dirty Water]

swing the friggin bat. god i can't stand this team sometimes. tying run on 2nd 1 out in the 8th and we just sit there at the plate 2 straight strike outs caught looking

[greenbeans]

That was a solid win. Roy must have been sick or something though.

[JCizzle]

Yeah it was, we were finally able to beat an ace.

[JCizzle]

Another good win last night for the sweep.

Even with all the momentum from Toronto, one can't help but to be wary of this weekend - Penny, Tazawa, Beckett - doesn't inspire much confidence outside of Beckett.

[wigglestrue]

Time to DFA Penny.
