DAD & Bill-806 OK with lineup as presented !!! YANK$ ahead 7-4 going into 7th......Severino gone after working hard and throwing many pitches !! iono iono iono
Well that 1st inning sucked. 2 on, no outs and didn't score.
Another wasted chance in the 3rd inning.
Price once again looks like crap.

B I N G O !!! 30MIL$, in the old days they called that a "BRINKS ROBBERY" !!!! Good NIGHT !! thumb_d iono iono rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl
This is more like it. Finally some offense.
Price isn't through screwing up this game yet.
3 HBPs in one inning. Pathetic. No control. And gave away a run. How much are they paying this bum?
This is why you don't want Price in a big game or facing the Yankees. He is a wuss and a "poser"
Nice work, Hembree. Shame he wasn't in a batter earlier.
Price finally can rightly point out that he set a pitching record that Eckersley never did. Price is the first Red Sox pitcher to hit 3 batters in a single inning. Way to go you PUTZE
Daffy Raffy blows a chance to end the inning with yet another throwing error. What's the count now, 315 or so?
Out of it. Raffy's off the hook.
Moreland with a sac fly to put the Sox up by 1.
Vaz with a 2-RBI single. Sox back in control. 7-4
Beni with a solo shot. 8-4
Barnes did well. Got 4 outs in the 7th.
This Fox crew is awful.

Yes they are. But the ESPN crew is still the worst.
More 2-out fun. Sox are running away with this one.
Neighbors have been blowing fireworks non-stop for about an hour now. That has to be pricey.
Got our freebie run back. No wonder KC has such a horrible record this year.
And another walked in run. Holy cow. It's a wonder they can get anyone to come to these games.
Time for the mercy rule. 15-4 Sox.
Well, it's not a save situation. LOL
And Price doesn't get the win.
Sox have outscored the Royals 25-9 in 2 games. Yikes.
Hembree with the win. The pen gave up only a walk. The offense finally came alive after wasting chances early. On to Sunday.
Well we matched the Yankee win with one of our own----and that's the way it has to be done. Real weird to be 32 games over 500 and just two games ahead in the standings but that the way it is and we can only keep plugging away and keep the line moving in our direction. Surprised and pleased that after squandering numerous chances in the early going we finally erupted in the fifth frame and then went on to route the Royals. The travails of baseball is evident with KC. Just three years ago they won the World Series and now they are scuffling, and we see how teams are on top one year and within two or three they are fighting for their lives. I don't want to see that with our team. The Red Sox must compete for a title every year PERIOD. That does not mean we get to the Fall Classic every year but I do mean we challenge to get there and make it into the Playoffs.....deep into them.
Look at my sig, Fred. We've been worst to first and back to worst again. I agree, there's no way the Red Sox should have to suffer that fate. We should be first-in-class every year.
Thankfully this was KC. And our bats came around finally (although I felt bad for the Royals at the end). But Price is a mess.
Health ISSUES starting to pop up...…. VAZ, out with a broken finger..... KELLY felt dizzy ?? OH well, looks like SWIHART will get a good look now ?? iono iono

I figured you were totally behind me on my missive but how can anyone argue against that? We have the money, we have strong fan support and makes the team lots and lots of more money and we do seem to be able to sign quality prospects if we can say with the exception of good young pitchers. BTW, heard our No. 1 Draft Choice Nick Casis is injured and out for the rest of the season. Hell of a way to start your career and it has to be one of ours. Remember Jason Groome from two years ago??? He is still on the shelf. We better hire some extra doctors and trainers to see that the guys we sign stay healthy and stay off the drugs.

Very TRUE FRED...… You would think that the first season in the program is all about CULTURE, CONDITIONING & FUNDERMENTALS !!! It's about protecting the INVESTMENT as it transitions to MANHOOD !!! thumb_u iono iono rofl rofl
