OBSTRUCTION!!!

Farrell's game management is abominable.

If Breslow throws another pitch in this series Farrell should be fired on sight.

And so is Salty!

NOW can we bench him?

And so is John Farrell.

Because he's insane.

Oh now Farrell pulls Workman? God damn it all.

And Allen Craig's up. My Boone/Lobaton radar is going off.

Up there with letting Breslow go out and shit himself all over again.

So who's gonna be the new Lobaton? Probably whoever hits for Rosenthal.

3R HR by Matt Holliday in 3...2..1...

Oh god, here comes the third unraveling.

Is my presence not welcome??

Why do they keep screwing with me like this? We all know they're losing this game.

I'd still take Breslow over the garbage in the Angels 'pen

**** it, take him. He'll be the reason we lost this series barring some wizardry in these last two innings.

So... who wants Breslow?

I've lived in New England my entire life and I have gotta say I have never met any Red Sox fan (or fan of any New England sports team) who thought like this. That's always been a laid-back, west coast thing. Every time the Sawx or Patz lose my facebook feed looks like it probably would have on 9/11.

There are people on this forum that complain about all the negativity and while there is a ton of it here, this place is a Nickelodeon forum compared to some of the Boston forums I've been on.

Usually everyone's up in arms. Maybe our fingers are on different parts of the fanbase. The fans I usually associate with, ones who would normally be beside themselves after a game like last night, are a little too laissez-faire at the moment for my liking. Little too confident about beating Joe Kelly and Lance Lynn in a ballpark the Sox have never played in (I don't think we've seen this Busch Stadium yet, I could be wrong). I wonder if the 2013 team is just teflon in their eyes for the turnaround they've pulled off this year. As a card-carrying member of the Boston doom-and-gloom brigade, it disturbs me.

Here? Not many. Plenty in New England though, aka that place I lived for the past 22 years before this one.

Farrell removing Lackey was bullshit. Neither Breslow or Tazawa are good enough or experienced enough to drop into a mid-inning disaster like that, they'll get their asses shot off. Breslow did, Tazawa has several times. Lackey was at 95 pitches for ****'s sake, he was more equipped to get out of that jam than anyone except Koji, and bringing him in the 7th leaves you vulnerable in the 9th. If anyone on this staff has the stamina to throw more than his share of pitches, it's Lackey. I can't wait for 2020 when 80 pitches will be the magic number for starters and four plus innings from the bullpen will be the nightly norm.

Awful lot of Red Sox fans coming into today have that "aw, we'll get em tomorrow!" goober mentality. Sure as hope the team isn't thinking like that, or this thing isn't coming back to Fenway. I don't care who's coming up in the Cardinals rotation, every game from here on has to be played like an elimination game. I already know that I'm not looking forward to facing Wainwright in his house, after a shitty outing, with a defense that remembers how to field the ball again, so I'd rather that night not be a must-win situation.

I just want to get Crawford back to Fenway and watch him melt down playing the other team. And then for AGoon to tell reporters after the sweep that it wasn't in god's plan.

Something something Beckett fried chicken something.

Red Sox/Dodgers WS would be awesome for baseball. That's the matchup I want, as for who I want to win, that should be obvious.

I'm liking how vehemently the Angels and Dodgers despise each other. Interleague play needs more natural rivalry matchups, not less.

HEY! I AM THE TOKEN RED SOX FAN IN THIS BOARD, SIR!

Oh... um... the boss didn't talk to you? This is awkward...

*stops decorating cubicle*

I was not.

Come on now, I haven't done anything illegal. And I don't intend to, I'm a peaceful Red Sox fan, until Napoli takes one of his sky hacks and ends up popping up to the pitcher's mound.

EDIT: blame everyone on my site for going to bed when I'm a time zone behind and still have juice left

Just what we need, some Chowd playoff bandwagoner stinking up the boards.

You're angry at Detroit, not at me, I forgive you!

Pure effing putrid human filth 6, Tigers 5

Final

Hey now!

We're not human!

I'm a Red Sox fan (although I live in Rangers territory)... one of your kind infiltrated our forum, mentioned this place, figured I'd check it out.
