"About friggen time. Should have done that the last time...should steal Lugo now too."Missed the chance, not with two strikes. Does Francona have his head up his butt?

If not for the double-plays, it would be 8-1 by now.

I don’t think Westbrook should still be in there though.

Westbrook has been keeping his pitches down.

9 hits, 3 runs... a losing proposition...
Red Sox have squandered too many chances so far. I'm getting more nervous...

Unless the Sox have a three run inning the Injins will come back in this game.

This is one of his MAJOR FLAWS. He will not use speed but instead rely on a model of hitting HRs which this team doesn’t do. You know the guy is throwing DPs all over the place and you leave the guy on 1st until a 2-2 count. He could have ran a double steal for crying out loud.
Francoma is a major douchebag at times.

This guy get's paid a lot of money, what happened to Terry's brain?
If Dice K comes out for the next inning it's a forgone conclusion, Francona is brain dead.

I don’t think Westbrook should still be in there though. I don't feel great about it either but Wedge is being consistent with how he got here.

Somebody wake Francona up.
To: misterrob
Westbrook is one lucky pitcher. his given up 9 dingers and still in the game. Hard hit after hard hit. The Indians are living off the DB.
To: misterrob
It’s the dreaded 5th inning for Dice-K... GET HIM OUT NOW!
