Stinkin BoSox won't lose

[bakntime]

I know it's early and all, but it's driving me nuts the way the Sox won't lose lately. Toronto blew a 5-0 lead today to lose 6-5, capped off by a walk off homer by Nomah in the 9th. COME ON, ALREADY. When is the rest of the league going to start helping us out?

[DJeter1287]

Oh they will lose...remember the infamous BoSox saying: "Fall back, Spring Ahead."

They were winning at about a .700 clip at the end of last April and early May. After the break, they'll go .500 like always.

It's like a supercharged top fuel dragster, and then the parachutes come out. Except w/them, the race isn't over when the coasting/treading water begins.

We'll take care of them ourselves. It's more fun that way anyway.

I'm still kind of expecting the Sox to hang in there all year.
I think they're a good team, better than they were last year.

They've scored just as many runs as we have, but their staff has given up a fair shot more than ours.

I think there was another post last year that said that, word for word.

To quote my father and I know I have said this before.
"The Red Sox only win in months that are girls names; April, May and June"
It's true if you think about it July, Agust and September is when they are sliding down and if they get to October they don't last

They're getting routed right now.

Toronto 7, Boston 0, still in the top of the 3rd.

The line for John Burkett:

2.2 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

[Jersey Yankee]

When did this game begin? They must've served the breakfast special w/home fries and buttered toast if they're already in the top of the 5th!!!

11:05am

It's Patriot's Day, which (sports-wise) means running of the Boston Marathon, and the Sox start at 11:00am.

Historically, it commemorates the battle of Lexington and Concord, which also included the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

[Bozidar]

Brad,
They do the same thing every year. Patriots day, 11AM start, Boston marathon.. all in one day.

[Jersey Yankee]

Big E, Boz, thx. I was familiar w/Patriot's Day, but hadn't realized it was today, and that the marathon ran later on today.

Do they always play Patriot's Day at home, rather than on the road?

Stewart singled to deep left center, Hinske scored, Woodward to second.

Two-out single = 8-2, 1B/2B runners!!!

[Jersey Yankee]

Catalanotto grounded out to third.

Man, couldn't Cata-what'shisface score a RISP? :rolleyes:

[Bozidar]

Hinske is murdering them

Thx!!! It was a stupid question, but I had to ask. I know a few people in Boston, so it's like a holiday that only that place celebrates.

The Red Sox have played at home on Patriots Day every year since 1960 (except for off days in 1965 and `67 and the players strike in 1995).

If we run away with the AL East it's gonna be a yawner of a season. Again.

I hope that if not the Sox, then SOMEBODY will win enough games to keep it interesting.

I think that the Blue Jays are nice & hungry!!! If they can stay that way the rest of the season, I wouldn't mind seeing them on a wild tear while the June Swoon kicks in big time, as the Sux play .500 ball!!!

[Looie #19]

Yeah, the Jays look really good.

Yeah, I'm with you. So far, they looked like they've regressed. And is that bullpen smelly or what?
