[Official] Astros @ Red Sox

I just saw that they did not credit him with a hit. I don't think anyone could hit a grounder any harder. Official scorer must hate Napoli.

 

I thought St. Louis claimed this already.

 

Wow..!!! We have a baseball team

 

Honestly if you've ever spent any time in Boston you know their fans are nuts about baseball. It's no comparison to the fans in Houston. It's an entirely different level.

 

I've watched a lot of Astros baseball this season, but this game...this game was infuriating. Darin Downs, get it the **** together. Your ERA is just trash for a reliever, and your WHIP is not noteworthy either. You do not belong on this team if you are able to **** up this bad.

 

No, their fans are just nuts. Whiny, then smug nuts.

 

I think his point is that a team's manager should never say another team's fans are the best in the world regardless of its trueness. He could have simply said the Boston Red Sox have great fans.

Spoiler

 

Fans are fans. They can be great or terrible, I don't care.

But the regurgitated, polyanna, arrogant, delusions of grandeur I heard from the Boston booth last night was intolerable.

 

Exactly. Maybe they are the best

I don't need OUR manager telling me that

Even more so when the team he has managed has been historically horrible

Just shut up Bo about us fans, you are lucky you still have some of us left

 

If he thinks it's true, which I believe it probably is, and it's not undermining the team then it's just all about your fragile fandom. If he said Clayton Kershaw was the best pitcher in the game it doesn't mean he's disrespecting Dallas Keuchel. So what?

 

Ok so Bo is fine to say Red Sox fans are better than us then, not a problem

Dallas Cowboys have the best fans in the world

 

The sox have a far better manager than the stros.

 

Yea if this series was at home I'd go all weekend and sit behind our dugout and scream that all weekend

Grossman begins the game

Out on 3 pitches without a swing

 

If I had a nickel for every time Grossman struck out looking....

 

Jon "All or nothing" Singleton

1st and 3rd no outs - zero.

 

If I had a nickel for every time Dominguez hit into a double play.....
