It's fucking gorgeous outside. What a day for a hundred year celebration of the Cathedral.

Fuck new soul-less stadiums. Fuck em to hell.

Is absolutely correct. I miss My Yankee Stadium so much. I hate that fuckiing monument to excess baseball disney world they built across the street. It may have smelled like armpits and piss, there may have been sewer backwash coming out of the faucets and fountains, yeah you might have to share a toilet with a rat the size of a small dog, but that was home man. Home in all it's rank and obnoxious glory.

BTW, you guys suck.

Gah. Given the pomp and circumstance beforehand I had this down as a win. Seems as if the Sox weren't as inspired as everyone else. They should have asked Pedro to pitch.

Right now this looks likes a poor team. As for the Tito chants, did that remind anyone else here of anything?

Why is Boston called "Bean Town"?

It's because of Boston baked beans I believe. Not to be confused with Birmingham, where they eat bostin' baked beans.

Today's game starts very shortly. It's scheduled to be live on ESPN America, but with Giants v Mets game tied in the bottom of the ninth, it may be a little while before coverage starts.

It's also on Fox today, which means Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Grim.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #251 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:53:48 PM »

Well this is great fun!

Freddy Garcia chased from the game in the second inning, Sox 5-0 up already.

scoobs · « **Reply #252 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:55:26 PM »

Garcia gone already. 5 run lead. Great start.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #253 on:** April 21, 2012, 10:51:42 PM »

According to ESPN, the Sox have acquired Marlon Byrd from the Cubs. Michael Bowden, who was recently designated for assignment, is thought to be heading the other way.

Colour me underwhelmed.

Felix Doubront.

Oh, there's Cody Ross going yard. 9-0!

MBL? · « **Reply #256 on:** April 21, 2012, 11:03:40 PM »

I caught a glimpse of a Liverpool shirt in the crowd. Possibly an El Camp sighting?

MBL? · « **Reply #257 on:** April 21, 2012, 11:32:57 PM »

Holy shit 9-5

JohnHenrysIceCreamCone · « **Reply #258 on:** April 21, 2012, 11:35:27 PM »

Too bad there is not another perfect game being pitched so we do not have to watch this crap. Unbelievable. 9-8

Ray K · « **Reply #259 on:** April 21, 2012, 11:38:48 PM »

Is the Red Sox bullpen actually made up of random punters pulled from the stands this season?

I'm thinking of tweeting Linda to see if I can get a game. Couldn't be much worse than some of these jokers.

I'm sure if you pitch it as some sort of reality TV program for NESN they'd be all for it.

Red Sox pitching is a joke.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #263 on:** April 21, 2012, 11:47:20 PM »

Aceves is already warming up, by the way. I would not be surprised to see him for more than an inning.

Mind you it's no surprise, but to let a 9-0 lead go is pretty bloody shocking.

The curse of the shite pitchers?

I am astonished, how in the fuck do you blow a 9-0 lead?

Scribble8 · « **Reply #272 on:** April 22, 2012, 12:14:22 AM »

Hahahahahaahah. That's what you call choking.

Can somebody explain why Doubront couldn't play the whole game?

He'd thrown 99 pitches through six innings. I don't think it was a terrible call taking him out, particularly with an eight run lead to play with.

You still betting mate, I remember you had a thread for american sports?

Bases loaded with no outs and Teixeira at bat now...

Fanxxxxtastic · « **Reply #276 on:** April 22, 2012, 12:19:21 AM »

Bloody hell. 12-9.

scoobs · « **Reply #277 on:** April 22, 2012, 12:20:04 AM »

Yeah nothing wrong with the decision to bring him off. The bullpen shouldn't be blowing 9 run leads. Not looking good here with bases loaded and no outs.

Fanxxxxtastic · « **Reply #278 on:** April 22, 2012, 12:21:26 AM »

Why did they let that last guy walk on purpose?

Is it because he's a good hitter?
