Matt Garza Won’t Count the Sox Out. Why Should I?

by Red on August 26, 2010

The crowds come out in Tampa for the late summer playoff push!

“I know what they’re coming with,” Garza said, “and they’re coming with a lot to prove; everybody saying they’re out of it, they’re too far back. It’s the Red Sox. You can’t ever count them out. There’s guys putting up career years like (3B Adrian) Beltre and Big Papi (David Ortiz) is having a resurrection. So they’re still dangerous. You can’t count those guys out until that 162nd game, or when it says you’ve clinched and you’ve got that x or y by your name that you relax. But right now, no shot.”

Sure, it’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to say. The Red Sox are tough and they can’t be counted out and yadda yadda yadda. But I don’t want that, I want bulletin board material. I want 31 flavors of carnage and a dinner theater re-enactment of 300 with the Sox as the Spartans and the Rays as the Persians. We could leave that godforsaken place just two and a half games behind in the wild card race if we take ‘em all. And two and a half sounds a lot better than eight and a half.

Sox, if you’ve still got any fight in you, tomorrow night would be an excellent time to start letting it out. Like, industrial size portions.

I want October, baseball, goddamit. Stop f#$kin’ with my autumn plans!

The Red Sox don't look like a powerhouse obviously, but if Beckett gets on track(and we've seen what he does when healthy and focused), and Lester, Buchholz and overpaid Lackey keeps pitching somewhat productively... they're dangerous.

The Yankees have tons of questions, as well.  Look at how Burnett got shelled again, and how a guy who pitched like an ace last season, and others, has been demoted to the bullpen.  Phil Hughes' ERA is almost 4 now, and besides Sabathia and Pettite who's hurt... who's gonna nail down close games from here on out.  Look for both the White Sox and Red Sox to make a run...  when Edwin Jackson is pitching like Tom Seaver, something's up. 

Every announcer is a homer unless his name is Rob Dibble, but he's just batsh1t insane.

It's one thing to be a gomer, but when you make no comments about the umps until the middle of the game and only for the other team, you suck. Then a few comments on how Price got a few, then saying the ump is an embarrassment, totally disparaging to Paps. 

Yes, No shit in spades. 

Hell, they rank up there near the top with Seattle and Texas announcers. 

any but yes. my daughter calls them whiners ;)

That's the way we like it.  Hope 7 run lead is enough.

I like wins... but I guess the talk picks up when I leave....

And the MFY's are losing badly too....

This is a good day. 

even funnier how pbon never looked at ayebar walking to 3rd >:o

thatll do nice Crabby. 

Do-It-All  VMart!

Jon got a couple of calls that time.  He's just gotta keep grindin.

I do not like this version of Lester...too scary. Gonna start rocking in my seat soon

Damn, Jon is bouncing a lot of pitches.... What is going on with him? 

FUCK YEAH! 

Better than the spider(s) who "welcome" you every morning with a back full of bites.  Then again, I HOPE it's spiders!

No real chance to get Upton. Hell, the throw was good but his jump and speed was it.....

Get the batter. 

Glad to finally be home so I can watch the game. I did not like the giant spider that was in front of my door to welcome me home.

Alas he is dead and now for the Rays

It is actually better to listen to MFY announcers than anyone outside of NESN. And that is a sad statement. 

One reason why I can't get into watching the Twins.  Fox Sports is the broadcasting company, and they're no better up here.

Screw these damn FSN announcers. Bad calls for Lester but Price is getting good ones? They suck. Just suck. 

MFY's down 4-1 top of 2. 

fucking horse shit. Lester better shave that pubic hair off longorias chin with a fastball. 

Is there something wrong with saying something nasty? Just curious. 

V-MART....

Nice..... Base hit. 

OK, lets take advantage of this boys. 

That's what I saw. He had to lean and only tagged his hip, missed his arm. 

No one likes me..... I'm getting the silent treatment. 

WTF kids? 

Jon, not good.... Another WP? Feck

Wow, who swallowed Joba and gave him a hispanic look? Oh, it's Aybar. 

K

Good one Jon......

Rays announcer: "It's not like Lester has been perfect with his control"

Yeah, if he was getting the calls Price was he would be doing a lot better. 

Its Price's father doing the umpiring. Little League rules are in effect tonight. 

And a DP here would be good..... Eva? 

HS:  You were saying defense? 

YES.... BASE HIT JED....

PAPI SCORES...

2-0

Price is getting a lot of borderline calls.......Who is the ump? Joe West? 

DP kids....

Jon is rolling. 

Man, Price gets that call and Jon doesn't? Fuck this ump. 

Another K.......

Alright Jon. 

Am I alone here? I should stop posting. 

Arrg....

V-MART, no first pitch shit..... Come on now. 

And heads up play by McDonald to get back. 

calls...calls. 

OK, if the ass-hat ump is going to give the cals to Price, then he needs to give them to Jon as well. 

Go JD

Too bad we couldn't get a break on that pop up by Jed. 

More pitches guys, more pitches......

Damn Scenic, 2 pitches? 

OK JD, make him work and get something going. 

It did. The pitch was way inside and hit his back leg and caromed away. 

Not good right now. Need the DP here. 

Look at all the empty seats. That is embarrassing. 

What would you like filtered? 

Hey kids, 

V-MART.... WOO HOO

And I have the Rays feed (boo), but I have the game (woo hoo)

"Alice Sweet ought to be worried about where the fuck her next lay is coming from"

That is classic stuff. Whoever did this should get an award... An yes, I could see Teets giving this interview but with a calm demeanor sipping Bigelow tea. 

Ok, my weekend just started out on a great note.  Won a $25 gift card on Facebook.  Now the Sox need to win these games.  I will be watching and most likely rocking back and forth ala Tito all weekend.

I hope Garza dehydrates himself by fucking spitting so much and it screws with his delivery.  I hope a ball gets hit into the rigging and knocks Longoria on his ass, and I hope Crawford trips while trying to steal a base and embarasses himself so thoroughly that he never tries again.

And Fuck the Mother Fucking Yankees too!

Fuck the Yankees
Fuck Garza
and his beard
Fuck the Rays
Fuck Losing
and Fuck Sean

Ill be heading to Houston and then to Orange. Having to make pitstop with my neck.
Physical therapy is helping when I follow instructions
which is not easy for me to do
