That must be Farrell's white flag lineup

[tdawg87]

Boston is literally giving the Angels a sympathy card tonight.

This is only former Cardinal Allen Craig's 2nd game as a Red Sox player, after being DL'd shortly after being acquired in the Lackey deal.

Guy was huge for the Cardinals in 2012-2013.

 

Interesting to see Ortiz and Napoli sit during a night game after a night game, the Cobbler tips his cap and says thank you.

 

Oh, and please continue the good work of the past 2 games, Josh Hamilton.

I didn't know the Angels were playing in Pawtucket tonight.

[Butcher'd]

Bogaerts and Betts have been pretty atrocious. Definitely some easy outs in that lineup without Ortiz and Napoli

[fan_since79]

Memo to Trout: WAKE UP!

[mtangelsfan]

guaranteed 6 runs by the sux tonight with that crappy lineup.

Both are extremely talented at the same time, so they could both have great night's as well. 

[hats4bats]

Worse line-ups have done pretty well against the Angels in the past so I see nothing to be cocky about. Have to take care of business.

[Richard]

Let's go Shoe! Keep it rolling!

[T.G.]

What no battle of the beards?  No Shoe vs Nap?

I'm pretty sure fans being cocky will have absolutely zero effect on the game tonight.

Maybe Farrell feels bad for dissing Garrett in the All-Star Game selections.

[CaliAngel]

LOL Farrell's pulling a Scioscia.

 

David Ortiz goes 4-4 with a home run, the best thing to do is get him out of the lineup.

[Angel Oracle]

Cobbler pitches today.

 

What does that mean?

 

Bad News for the Red Sox!!!!

Wow.

[hats4bats]

I'm pretty sure fans being cocky will have absolutely zero effect on the game tonight.

I agree because I never said it would have an effect on the game.

[laagamer]

Here we go.

 

It'd be awesome to be 2 games up going into Chokeland without Richards...

[Hollyw00d]

Kole baby

[Stradling]

Lets shit on this team tonight Angels

[Taylor]

Rojas just compared De la Rosa to a box of chocolates.

 

Racist.
