Red Sox 8, Mariners 4

"No runs, no hits, no errors none left."

Actually, one hit.

j d drew a 14 million per puke

2 runs in the 1st an then hope they don't score 3 BORING ball by this underachieving overpaid anemic hitting club yanks an rays will both catch em in 2 wks

Boras' boy does not want to disappoint. I wish he would do less talking in the papers and maybe do something in the field. Oh well, they have their two runs for the day.

Wow. Deja Vu. Score some runs early, do nothing else after except give up the lead to Ronny F'n Cedeno. You have got to be kidding me.

Awful Sox D in the 4th. Youk with his head up his butt on a grounder with runners on 1st & 2nd. JD Drew with a slde attempt on a ball in the outfield with the bases loaded. What's with all this sliding BS when trying to catch a fly ball?

6 all stars on this joke team ya rite maybe they can beat the A's

Here we go again!!! We score the first 2 runs early in this 3 game set, and then wait to lose WTF!

Is it time to start wondering if Jon Lester is overrated? I don't understand how he can look so unhittable some games, and then look like he's pitching batting practice others. Even from inning to inning he seems to be hit or miss (literally) 7 hits in 4 innings to this Mariners team?

And on another note - does Sean Casey ever shut up? Between his constant inane banter and losing to this lousy M's team, this has not been an enjoyable weekend.

Is it too much trouble to score a few more runs here???? Oh, and don't give the M's (or any team) extra outs. You pay every time.

Francona must be listening to the bloggers playing for one run. Oh wait these guys haven't got a clutch hit for how long. No they don't want to get rid of Kotsay for what reason. Maybe they should trade for a .153 hitter and make him the Boras's boy's hitting coach.

Wow, another pitcher with an ERA above 4 that we get nothing off of. Great job.

Watching the Red Sox for the past few days (since the blown 10-1 game) has been painful. The problem is not pitching, it's hitting. They can score a few runs early, it seems, but they are seemingly hopeless before the opposition's relief pitching - continue to give the starters for the opposition new life. These things happen over the course of a season but this may be becomming problematic. It certainly shows their glaring deficiencies at the bat. The Yankees are taking every advantage as is TB. It may be a tension filled second half and gives Theo something to work at before July 31. Go Sox.

I am watching this game in Washington. It is pathetic watching no-name Mariner players battling on every at bat. They are forcing Lester to either walk them or they are getting blooper hits. The Red Sox have absolutely no discipline at the bat. They either take called third strikes right down the middle or when they do swing the pitches are way out of the strike zone. (see Youkilis and Big Flapi in the 5th inning. Francona and Magadan have got to go!!

casey shut the f up PLEASE THIS TEAM IS A JOKE they need a bat sooooo bad now they put up nothing but zeros even at home but they still suck every penny from sox fans at the park an put this boring product on the field shame on this mgt. they are as boring an offencive team i can remember

Epstein do something. Unfortunately, if they are waiting for Ortiz to save them then they better give him something to find his youth. Admit Boras's boy is a huge mistake and move on. You did know something by not doing anything with Bay. Youk is a nice player but he is not someone to carry you.

The Mariner announcers are constantly mentioning the number of 8-10 pitch at bats the Mariner batters are getting. The Red Sox batters like Bay and Drew get 3 pitch at bats. Match up the Mariners position by position and with the exception of Ichiro the Sox are head and shoulders talent wise above the Mariners. Francoma is totally overmatched against the Mariners manager. It 's amazing to see the Mariner TV crew constantly showing the M's manager giving signs and talking to players. Francona is shown doing nothing but putting gum in his mouth and taking a sip from his water bottle.

You are all a bunch of lunatics.

Now this is more like it!!!

Boras's boy accomplished something, he hit the ball. What is his salary compared to the shortstop who nobody wanted. I guess nobody wanted Boras's boy except for Epstein.

Wow, just look at these comments from the early part of this game. You people should be ashamed. Talk about complete overreaction to every small issue. "This team is a joke" blah, blah, blah. Ok, 2nd best recorcd in baseball. Of course its not going to be easy, Yanks and Rays are too good. But please, many of you just need to calm down, go outside...spend time your families, light some bottle rockets..just don't watch every single pitch of the season. Thank god no one like any of you run this team....or any Boston team.

A few weeks ago everyone wanted the Sox to re-sign Bay, now y'all are turning on him? Seriously hard to take things seriously when the fans turn so quickly on their own team. And come next Spring, if the Sox can't get an extension worked with Bay, when he's slamming balls out of the new Yankee Stadium you'll all be fussing that the Sox didn't get him a contract. Y'all just need to chill. The time to get worked up is after the All-Star break. If the Sox come back and are still having offensive issues and the team doesn't deal for a bat, that's the time to start getting worked up.

Dan, Jake and Arizona you all sound alike, like spoiled little children with access to your parents' computer for the holiday weekend. By the way, who is Boras's boy? He has many clients on the Red Sox and since you bitch and moan about every little thing it's impossible to know exactly what you're bitchin' about. Perhaps you don't even know yourselves! First place, best record in the AL and playing over 600 ball is not good enough for you? Get a life!

What Duck said.

Commenters 1-20 need to STFU and go start watching the Yankees. I certainly hope you all don't call yourselves fans. What you are is a JOKE!
