Good luck Red Sux fans. Buccholz will abolutely get LIT UP like a Christmas tree tonight. I'll be able to see the light all the way from my home in the Bronx. The light will be blinding. Buccholz has done NOTHING since his fluke no-hitter. Maybe he'll pitch better if you give him some laptops! Go Yanks!

that is *so sad.* When are the Rangers, Marlins, and other fans of irrelevant third place teams showing up too?

Checked the score yet bill, or are you so full of shit it's reached up into your eyeballs and blinded you?
Oh and how are those Yanks doing eh retard? Last time I checked...a whopping 6GB the Red Sox and 11GB the Rays of all teams. Honestly dickbag let's not call the kettle black.

I'm sorry 6.5 games behind the Red Sox...so that just makes you .5 more pathetic.
#6
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 7:47 PM
Its okay guys. Your little stretch of dominance doesnt put the Red Sox any closer to what the Yankees are - THE BEST FRANCHISE IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS. 26 World Championships. What do you guys have 6? That's pathetic. Only 20 more to go! And now Beckett is injured - I love it. And you guys finished third behind the Blue Jays two years ago, so one bad year from the Yankees doesnt make you better.
#7
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 7:53 PM
Actually we have 7 so that'd make it 19 left. Good math and research skills. The Bronx must be educating you guidos something fierce. 26 rings? Big deal. Honestly that's the lamest rally cry I've heard from NY. Oh and it wasn't one bad season...it's been two so far. I seem to recall you guys once being 14.5 GB in 2007 and I kept hearing how NY would eviscerate the Indians. In your face huh?
Now I understand you might be on the rag and that's fine. I mean I'd be pissy if I had a fat, blabbermouth GM who promised glory this year only to get reality shoved right into his face and double chin. Face it. Your time is over. I think Tampa Bay made that pretty clear too wouldn't you think?
#8
Posted by Sean O, August 20, 2008 7:54 PM
Well, we're off to a good start, but of course the Rays are winning again.
#11
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 8:03 PM
Wow one more. Only 19 to go. Until a few years ago, your rallying cry was "Wait till next year." Now that you experience some sucess the Red Sox are the shit? Fuck that. The Yankees are the best franchise in the history of sports, and even the most hardcore Red Sux fans cant deny that. Kiss the rings bitch!
#12
Posted by Sean O, August 20, 2008 8:03 PM
Couldn't any other human being be pitching for this team right now?
#13
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:06 PM
The offense better score upwards of 10 runs tonight because we're not winning otherwise.
#14
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:07 PM
Still strutting the past eh bill? Honestly you're starting to bore us. Go back into the New Yorkerverse and think that the Knicks still have a chance or that the Yankees are bigger in Chicago than the Cubs/White Sox like so many of you arrogant punks think.
26 rings = broken record
Wouldn't kiss those rings...probably infected with something since I read that one in four NYers has some form of STD including herpes. I prefer staying in Boston where it's clean.
#16
Posted by Sean O, August 20, 2008 8:13 PM
Don't feed the troll anymore kids, I shouldn't have said anything at first. Just remember how bad it felt when the Red Sox couldn't ever win and always just missed the playoffs, or were quickly dispatched thereafter. Have pity for the New Yorkers and their terrible, overpriced ballclub.
#17
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:15 PM
Point well taken. Even if we do lose this game we're still a good lead over others in the WC race and AL East. Hell I wouldn't mind the Rays staying on top, as blasphemous as it sounds, just so certain teams would be denied what they think is their God-given right to have.
#18
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:19 PM
send buchholz to AAA and call up Bowden at least he knows what a strike is
#19
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 8:19 PM
I hate the Knicks. Speaking of New York, who won the Super Bowl last year? Thats right, The New York Giants. You can kiss that ring as well, and my ass while your at it. 18-1 bitches. Hey homos, the Orioles are coming back. I told you Clay would get bombed.
#21
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:20 PM
But yeah Sean and Bob...I can't give Buchholz any more slack. I mean he's about as pathetic as Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy right about now.
#22
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:20 PM
Oh and the failure to score this inning guarantees that the Os will take the lead. Buchholz with a one run lead is like plaing russian roulette with only one chamber empty
#23
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:27 PM
I am so sick of Suckholz's bullshit. I feel like hopping on a plane to Baltimore and punching him in the face.
#24
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:28 PM
Me too...me too...
Well I think that he's been given his final chances. Tito pulling him so quickly is already evidence of that.
#25
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 8:29 PM
Face it - Buccholz sucks. Just cuz he pitched a no-hitter doesnt make him good. Shit, Andy Hawkins pitched a no-hitter. Buccholz is nowhere near Joba.
And just like I said, Buccholz got bombed. Maybe he can write about it using one of those stolen laptops. thats one thing hes good at.
#26
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:30 PM
And the lead is gone. Thanks for making 4 runs hold up Clay. Also, someone please explain to me why replaced the guy who can't throw strikes with... the guy who can't throw strikes????
#27
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:30 PM
Well I think it's safe to say that Clay will not be pitching any time soon. Sure it was Aardsma that gave up that HR but who left those runners on there?
Honestly I don't mind losing right now since we can take a punch.
Alas it's only the 3rd inning and we're down by two. Good things can happen.
#28
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:31 PM
Guys...do you keep hearing that? It's like a mosquito droning near your ear.
#29
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:33 PM
I vote for sending Suckholz to AAA or the pen and bringing up Bowden until Wakefield is healthy.
#30
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:36 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a new curse:
The Curse of Clay Buchholz.
#31
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:38 PM
Buch and Aardsma doing their best impersonations of Ian Kennedy and Kei Igawa.
#32
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:41 PM
Once again though...five innings left, still time for some offensive redemption. It just all has to click. Here's hoping Clay's fail virus hasn't completely infected the Sox.
#33
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:43 PM
no chance, the lead is gone, hard to try as an offense when your starter can't even go 3
#34
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 8:44 PM
besides with how god awful the bullpen is this lead will be 7 before you know it
#36
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 8:54 PM
Well can't win 'em all I guess. Luckily Baltimore is just as harsh on NY as they are us from time to time. I'm not too worried, but disappointed in Clay and the 'pen once more.
At least my NL favorite Cubs are already in the lead.
#37
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 8:59 PM
Hah. I told you Buccholz would get lit up. I'm blinded by the light ... I cant see the keyboard. 10-4 Orioles you homos! Are you Massachusetts faggots all married to each other?
#39
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:11 PM
It sounds like the faint echo of...5.5GB...5.5GB...
5.5 GBBBBBBBBBBB.........
#40
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 9:12 PM
Yes, thats right The Curse of Clay Buccholz. I like it. Good ring to it.
#41
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:13 PM
And now I pick up the image of a fat guido...wearing blue and white, with a massive gut and a gelmet with the aura of worthlessness...
Man, but I keep hearing, "Yankees 5.5 GBBBBB...5.5 GB!"
#42
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 9:21 PM
Nick Markakis is possibly my favorite non- Red Sox player, he just does everything well.
#43
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:24 PM
He'll probably be just as torrid against the Yanks come the next series.
No worries mates...such setbacks happen.
#44
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 9:25 PM
Colin, I hate the Yankees too, but do you have keep calling all their fans guidos? I wouldn't like it if someone called all Red Sox fans fat Mick alcoholics.
#45
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 9:26 PM
I'm probably in better shape than you Collin. But that was a nice description of your mom. Anyway, I hope the Yankees face Fuccholz when you guys come tyo the Big Ballpark in the Bronx. 11-5 Orioles.
#47
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:36 PM
I think NY, I think Italian. That and they come here and gelmet everything up with wifebeaters and chains. I'll take my drunken mick over the fat guido any day.
And bill...keep trying pal. You don't run the Boston Marathon as a fat slob but it's good to see you resort to the classic "your mom." Once again, NY is the pinnacle of sophistication.
#48
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:38 PM
Oh how cute...you won a game. Keep on touting that pseudo-arrogance of a crumbling franchise. Try catching up to the Rays if you want a real challenge there Yanks.
#49
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 9:46 PM
From my past experience the guys in Boston with the blowouts were local products North End or Providence. Still generalizations are bad. Lots of people in New York, most of them not Italian
#50
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 9:49 PM
The real sad thing is any other pitcher and a 4 run lead after 2 innings would have held up
#51
Posted by Colin, August 20, 2008 9:51 PM
I know...I just get real pissy with NY. I think the Masshole is more tolerable than the NYer. I guess being from CT you see the worst of both worlds.
#52
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 9:59 PM
I've seen both sides too, but I slightly prefer the Masshole, if only because they're more fun to drink with/ can drink more.
#53
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 10:00 PM
That should have read I've seen the best of both sides too
#54
Posted by Bob, August 20, 2008 10:03 PM
Shit the Angels better pull through, I don't want to concede more ground to the Rays.
In any case, my dog is passed out and I'm doing the same. Guess you can't win em all
#55
Posted by Sean O, August 20, 2008 10:21 PM
"I’m probably in better shape than you Collin."
The single most pathetic thing I've ever read in my life.
#56
Posted by gerry, August 20, 2008 10:37 PM
We got 6 runs, maybe more in the 9th. Good hitting, great D, unpredictable Pen and Clay should have gone to AAA weeks ago. I don't know how a 23 year old having a terrible time, and with messed up mechanics, is going to regain skills and confidence getting rocked in the majors. This will be known as one of the more stupid things the Sox have done this year.
#57
Posted by gerry, August 20, 2008 10:51 PM
Rays, Junkees, Twins and White Sox all won, so we lose big.
After sending Clay to Pawtucket (PLEASE Magadan, stop torturing the kid, let him recover like Hughes & Kennedy), who takes his place? It is time for Wake, Byrd, Colon's to go once more into the breach . . . 3 old lions leaving everything on the mound.
And WHEN will the Bullpen issue be resolved? It is getting embarrassing. Colon to the Pen? Zinc, Pauley, Jones, Bowden to the Pen? It's housecleaning time, or surrender the season. Don't wait till its over.
#58
Posted by bill, August 20, 2008 11:16 PM
You Sux fans are so funny thinking all New Yawkers are Italian. Im Irish like you guys. Anyways, you guys lost, the Twins are .5 games back, and although we're 5.5 games back like you homos keep saying, we got 6 games left with you faggots. Oh, and by the way, why did they allow gay marriage in Massachusetts anyway? It must be fun for you buttfucking faggots huh?

bill-
Thank you for bringing Gay, Italian and Irish jokes to light on a sports page. All of these things have lain dormant for too long. I mean, there's the fighting Irish, but I've never seen a team like "Queer for Beer" or, to tap another demographic that you somehow ignored "Dego and Prego." If only Obama would look to pregnant Italian women.
You have opened my eyes to the fact there are Gay people, Italian people and Irish people in the world. I'm perfectly happy that all of these types exist, the same way I'm comfortable knowing there are Red (this one's for you babe) Sux, Yankee, Rays, and all the rest of MLB teams fans out there. Celebrate diversity you trolling little man. Raise your arms in pride, not gay pride mind you because I know you hate that, and bask in your team's glory.
