Francona has a QUICK HOOK doesn't he?
Not enough that he blew game 2 by keeping Becket in there; tonight we're forced to endure the Wakefield home run derby.
Let's add Tino to the RETARDED club. Why bother rooting for these mother****ers when they can't get out of their own way. |

Considering that he's 0-2, giving up 11 runs on 17 hits in three previous outings this season against the Rays, Francona is probably counting his blessings that he got almost 3 innings out of him.

3-1 down is manageable
5-1 down is probably out of reach too bad we couldn't have tried to get 5 innings out of him, he deserves it, doesn't he Terry? not like there's an urgency for a win on the part of the Red Sox P.S. if this was supposed to be the Sox 'throw away' game, then maybe the IDIOT manager shouldn't have blown game 2 from a good chance to be up 2 games to 0 to a good chance of being down 3 games to 1 NICE |

Byrds the worst. Wakefield and Byrd are one in the same except Wakefield throws the knucker 65. Byrd throws his fastball 65

The thinking was that at this point in his career it made more sense to start Wakefield as his history has always shown that he has been successful against this club, with the exception of the two starts this year. Obviously given tonights early innings it is easy to hate on Tito given the early 5-0 deficit. The truth is the guy has rarely gotten the credit he deserved from the 2 WS he won, never complains and has shown often the ability to handle difficult personalities in ways nothing short of miraculous. The injuries and the Manny BS this year has proven too much for anyone to handle. They were good this year but not great by any means but T Fran is not where the blame should be left. Papi's injury, Beckett's injury (numbness in his hand), Rameriez refusing to play for 20 million, Schilling's arm injury, all have added up to more than Bay, Kotsay and Masterson could overcome as plusses. Give the Rays the credit they deserve they have come of age....... |

did you guys notice last night that the Rays first three hitters all were first ball swinging? All outs mind you (a three pitch inning for Lester).
Do you think that was gameplanned? Do you think it helped in any way? |

I just thought it was odd. I have watched baseball for a long time, and i have never seen an opening side in a playoff game first ball, fast ball swing 1-2-3 into outs. |

Now if they will just apply themselves 11 runs in one inning is not going to be that big of a deal.
