The Yankees usually crush the Twins -
and our Sox, so far, have done nothing.

Meanwhile the Yankees are beating the Mariners 6 - 2
in the bottom of the 7th inning.

CRAP!

[Schloicka]

Wasting a lot of chances!

[BoSoxFanNY]

Wasting a lot of chances!

Yup!

[BoSoxFanNY]

You HAVE to score runs to have a chance to win the game.
DANG IT.

WHAT has happened to our bats?????

[elktonnick]

Once again Nunez doesn't make a play that he should have at second base.  When is Cora going to realize that Nunez can't play second.  He is awful.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Devers hits a solo shot in the top of the 6th inning to give the Sox a lead 1 - 0
and in the bottom of the inning Sale gives up 2 runs.
Twins 2 - Sox 1
DANG IT

[BoSoxFanNY]

Sox have left NINE men on base.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Going to the bottom of the 7th inning
Twins 2 - Sox 1

[BoSoxFanNY]

Sox tie the game in the top of the 8th inning.
Chris Sale gets a no decision.

Bring in Robbie Scott - walk, hit a batter, out
THEN, bring in Joe Kelly AND BAM.  He allows
a single, walk and triple.
Twins 6 - Sox 2.
One out.
NOW they bring in Velazquez . . .

DANG IT!  DANG IT!  DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Yankees CRUSH the Twins every time they play them
and we just can't beat this team.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Velazquez comes in and gets a double play.
OUT of inning.

WHY didn't they bring him in to start the bottom of the 8th inning???

CRAP!

[BoSoxFanNY]

AND the Sox lose 6 - 2.
Disappointed in this team.

They SHOULD be able to beat the Twins.

[SeaBeachFred]

Once again Nunez doesn't make a play that he should have at second base.  When is Cora going to realize that Nunez can't play second.  He is awful.

Cora is stupid and stubborn Elk, two tragic and weaknesses that will derail our team.  It is obvious to me that unless Nunez hits a ton he is a minus for us in the lineup and I mean he must hit over 300 and be able to hit with a little power.  I don't know why he doesn't put Holt on second and keep him there.  Cora doesn't have a clue, and as I said three weeks ago I have come to the conclusion that this guy is a managerial fraud along the lines of our last miserable skipper, and all this bullshit talk about defense, defense and defense for keeping Bradley and his 182 average in the lineup or those two stiffs catching for us should be cast into the trash bin after tonight and after what happened last Saturday night and Friday when we got six runs on mostly Mariner blunders and couldn't score another run after the third inning.  How did defense defense and defense win those games????  They didn't,  And if Bora Bora wants to stress defense he will get Nunez out of second base and put Holt out there for the duration.  How f23k4n& dumb can our manager be not to see this?

[SeaBeachFred]

Velazquez comes in and gets a double play.
OUT of inning.

WHY didn't they bring him in to start the bottom of the 8th inning???

CRAP!

Because Cora BOra Bora is a stupid ignorant bastard Bo.   And the hell with crap and dang it.........God Damn It!!!!!!!!

Robbie Effin# Scott?  Really, Cora?
