Babs 2005 game prediction thread

[I Are Baboon]

*sticky please*

Back by popular demand (or at least because we are bored), it's the season-long game prediction thread! For anyone who's new, basically this is a very casual, non-competitive game prediction thread. It will run all season. Just say what you think the score will be for each game and throw in a couple of other things you think will happen.

On with the season...

[I Are Baboon]

OPENING NIGHT

David Wells vs Randy Johnson

Yanks 9, Sox 5

Wells lasts four innings
Ortiz hits one out (well DUH)

I just don't have a really good felling about this one. The Yanks will be revved up for this after how 2004 ended.

[PissedPrincess]

Sox 6 Chokers 2

Manny goes deep.

Wells, pissed at George, pitches a 4 hit 2 run gem. He's lifted after 6, and the middle relief gives up 1.


Johnson knocked out after 4.

:smokin:

[rockin500]

consider it stuck.


Yankees 6, Sox 4. Boomer will go 5 innings, giving up 4. not a great matchup for the sox.

[Blue56]

Yankees 5
Boston 4

Wells will pitch 6 innings giving up 3 runs and striking out 4.
Ramirez will go long, Payton--> pinch hit home run.

JOhnson will last about 7 innings.

[I Are Baboon]

Yanks 9, Sox 5

Wells lasts four innings


Hmmm...9-2, Wells went 4.1 innings.

[PissedPrincess]

Babs wins as usual. :smokin:

[I Are Baboon]

4/5/05 vs NYY

Matt Clement vs Carl Pavano

11-7 Sox. Pavano lasts three innings. Manny gets HR #1.

[rockin500]

Yankees 15, Sox 14. Neither starter lasts beyond two innings.

[I Are Baboon]

:laff:

[Thedatch]

sox 2, yankees 1...good ol fashioned pitcher's dual...

ortiz cranks one

[PissedPrincess]

11-9 Red Sox.

Trot goes deep. :)

[rockin500]

game 3. mussina vs. wakefield.

Sox 8, Yankees 6. Manny hits a bomb, bellhorn strikes out 4 more times.

[I Are Baboon]

(hate to say it...)

Yanks 8, Sox 4

Wake goes 4 innings. Damon gets three hits.

[PissedPrincess]

Wake gets murdered.

13-2 Shitheads. :angry:

[Hobosox]

i say we squeak one out today, mostly because we need to.

5-4 sox, Mussina gets hit hard early, our bullpen almost blows it but outstanding defensive play (yes you heard correctly) saves it for foulke in 9th.

oh, and Ortiz goes YAHHHD, as usual

[I Are Baboon]

Bunch of damn slackers around here...

April 8 vs Toronto: Bronson Arroyo vs Some other dude

10-2 Sox

Jesus hits a dinger

[I Are Baboon]

Saturday April 9 vs Toronto:

David Wells vs Roy Halladay

Halladay owns us. 4-2 Jays.

[Blue56]

SUnday's game:

Ted Lilly---Matt CLement

I think it's time for Clement to shine and show us how good he really is. I say he goes long, (7-8 innings) allowing maybe 1 run or 2.
Boston wins 7-2

[Hobosox]

Clement wins us our first series of the year, bringing us back to .500

8-3 Sox, and of course, Papi goes deep :dancin:

[I Are Baboon]

Sunday: 6-3 Sox. Clement goes six.

[rockin500]

clement goes 4, gives up 7.

sox win 13-9

[I Are Baboon]

HOME OPENER. Getting the rings and booing Giambi will bring the only joy.

8-4 Yanks. Giambi hits a HR.

[PissedPrincess]

HOME OPENER. Getting the rings and booing Giambi will bring the only joy.

8-4 Yanks. Giambi hits a HR.

Negative bastard.

Manny finally hits a HR. Sox 8 Yanks 3.

[I Are Baboon]

Negative bastard.



Sorry. :( I'm pissed at the two losses to the Jays.

[PissedPrincess]

Sorry. :( I'm pissed at the two losses to the Jays.

I am too. The season starts today. If they lose today, venting will commence. :angry:

[I Are Baboon]

April 13 vs NYY

Curt Schilling vs Jaret Wright

Sox pound Wright and Curt pitches well. 12-3 Sox. HR#1 for Manny.

[PissedPrincess]

9-3 Sox. Ortiz with a BOMB.

[Cyberlibrarian]

Are the Yankees the only team left that doesn't understand that, if the Braves let a pitcher go, there's a reason???

Schill shuts down the Bronx Bums. Wright leaves the mound sobbing. A-hole makes another costly error.

Score 6-0 Good Guys.

[I Are Baboon]

Geez, we were all wrong yesterday.

April 14 vs NYY: Bronson Arroyo vs Randy Johnson

Sox win 6-4. 5 IP for RJ

[I Are Baboon]

Glad to see we got such large participation yesterday. Slackers.

Friday April 15 vs Tampa Bay: David Wells vs Hideo Nomo

Sox 9, D-Rays 3. Wells finally gets hit shit together and throws 7 solid innings. Ortiz hits a bizzomb.

[rockin500]

8-2 Sox. Wells throws 8 innings.

Hideo's arm falls off in the 4th, sold on Ebay.

[PissedPrincess]

Wells gets bombed. Hears his first Fenway boos.

Sox lose 11-2.

hope I'm freaking wrong.

[I Are Baboon]

Ray, Ebay does not allow the selling of body parts. Come on, man.

:D

[rockin500]

:laff: too true, babs

[I Are Baboon]

Patriot's Day! Schilling vs Bush

7-2 Sox

Manny HR

[Cyberlibrarian]

I'm going to have to avoid all media today. I won't get to watch it until tonight.

[PissedPrincess]

Sox 8 Jays 4.

Millar gets his 1st HR.

[I Are Baboon]

Manny HR

:devilsmok

[I Are Baboon]

4/19, Sox vs Jays, Arroyo vs Halladay

Sox win 5-3. Arroyo goes 7 solid innings and Damon hits HR#1.

[rockin500]

arroyo better go 7 solid innings of shutout ball. :)

sox win 6-3. timlin gives up 3 in the 9th after 7 shutout innings

[PissedPrincess]

Fat boy Wells vs. the greatest offense in history. :(

18-2 O's. :crying2:

[I Are Baboon]

Wells gets the shit kicked out him tonight.

11-6 O's.

[I Are Baboon]

4/21 vs O's.

Some dude that owns us is pitching for Baltimore.

4-2 O's.

[PissedPrincess]

4/21 vs O's.

Some dude that owns us is pitching for Baltimore.

R-Lo OWNS us. Matt Clement walks the world. 9-1 Birds. :(

[I Are Baboon]

Tampa Bay tonight. Wake vs Who the Hell Knows and It Doesn't Matter

Sox 10-3

[PissedPrincess]

Wake vs. Kid Phenom Kazmir.

Rays 5 Sox 1. :(

[I Are Baboon]

O's 6, Sox 3.

[Blue56]

umm Tonight I think Wells will have another good start, no great like his last 2, but good enough for a win.
Boston 9-4

[PissedPrincess]

No way can Wells throw 3 gems in a row. Birds OWN us at Fenway.

Birds 12 Slumping Sox 3 :wedgie:

[PissedPrincess]

Us against the dude who owns us.

6-0 Birds. :gripe:

[Blue56]

Clement has an awesome record against the birds wiht an era of 1.13 in 3+ starts.

I say Sox win 11-2
Mueller's back

[I Are Baboon]

April 29:

We lose 9-6. Wake has been too good and he is due to get pounded.

[PissedPrincess]

We have been swept in Texas 2 years running now.

13-2 Rangers. :(

[Blue56]

TExas tonight 7-5
But we'll get em the next 2 games.

[PissedPrincess]

Another day, another sure loss. :(

Texas 11 Sox 1.

[Blue56]

umm, arroyo tonight. We can hit astacio.

Sox FINALLY win tonight 9-1
Arroyo will play solid

[Thedatch]

arroyo lords over the rangers, goes 8 strong innings, no runs. sox hit some, 6-0 red sox.

[I Are Baboon]

7-4 Texas

[I Are Baboon]

BONDERMAN OWNZ

10-3 Cats. Jeremi Gonzalez gets pounded.

[I Are Baboon]

TExas tonight 7-5
But we'll get em the next 2 games.

:eek:

Blue was right with his 2nd statement.

[PissedPrincess]

Jeremy Gonzales tonight. Halama tomorrow. :laff:

Conventional wisdom says we should get killed.

I say, eff convention.

Sox 9 Cats 2. :smokin:

Ortiz with a 3 run bomb.

[I Are Baboon]

Halama. 'Nuff said.

Cats 13, Sox 7

[PissedPrincess]

Cats 12 Sox 1

[Hobosox]

Halama can't make it out of the 6th

bullpen blows another, 7-4 Cats

[I Are Baboon]

Heh heh....we were all wrong yesterday.

Wake going tonight. I have a good feeling.

Sox win 7-1. Wake goes eight innings. Manny goes deep.

[PissedPrincess]

The Cats kinda own Wake, but, what the hey......

Sox 8 Cats 3

[rockin500]

7-2 sox, renteria grounds into 3 DP's. (he's already got one)

[Blue56]

:eek:

Blue was right with his 2nd statement.
:D surprised?

[Blue56]

I say we win the next two against Detroit.

[Blue56]

Cross your fingers folks, Foulke is pitching the ninth with a 1 run lead.

[Blue56]

Boston wins 4-3, Who was the closest?

[I Are Baboon]

Can the Sox win three in a row, and can Arroyo win his fourth. 1:00 game today: Arroyo vs Johnson

I am picking with my heart...

Sox 9, Cats 4

The offense is due to break out. HR for Ortiz

[cxlx]

GREAT.............the first day I get Direct TV, its a freaking day game. Go effin figure. Sigh....:sigh: Oh wells, I can always watch the Celts game tonite. Stupid MLB schedules. :angry:

Sox 11, Cats 3
Payton goes deep.

Thats all I got. :cool:

[I Are Baboon]

I win yesterday, since me and Captain Bobber were the only two to play and I kicked his ass.

Today vs Seattle: Clement vs Moyer

Hmmm...Moyer is a good pitcher and our offense blows.

M's win 5-1.

[PissedPrincess]

Moyer is 452. Sox roll tonight. 7-2.

Multi-HR game for Ortiz.

[duckboy]

Sox will win 5-0. Right now the Mariners can't hit themselves out of a paper bag.

[PissedPrincess]

Sox will win 5-0. Right now the Mariners can't hit themselves out of a paper bag.

Dammit. When a fan of the other team predicts we'll win we're doomed.

Changing my pick. M's win 6-0. Clement walks 7.

[I Are Baboon]

Dammit. When a fan of the other team predicts we'll win we're doomed.

Changing my pick. M's win 6-0. Clement walks 7.

:laff:

I thought Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson were supposed to bash the snot out of the ball this year.

[PissedPrincess]

:laff:

I thought Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson were supposed to bash the snot out of the ball this year.

Man Beltre has fallen off the map. Now that I said that, he probably goes 4-4 with 2 HR's tonight. :(

[I Are Baboon]

Man Beltre has fallen off the map. Now that I said that, he probably goes 4-4 with 2 HR's tonight. :(

Both he and Sexson are SUCKING, although Sexson at least has a bunch of homers.

Ichiro will have fun with our pitching.

[PissedPrincess]

Oakland sucks. I mean they were shut out by Kevin Brown. KEVIN BROWN!!!

Anything shy of a sweep should be considered a major dissappointment. Sox should romp for 3 games.

[PissedPrincess]

Haren vs. Wake. Sox 9 Oak 1.

[I Are Baboon]

Oakland sucks. I mean they were shut out by Kevin Brown. KEVIN BROWN!!!

Anything shy of a sweep should be considered a major dissappointment. Sox should romp for 3 games.

I agree!!

A's win tonight 5-2.

[PissedPrincess]

I agree!!

A's win tonight 5-2.

If you are right you die.

[PissedPrincess]

Sarloo, (who?) vs. Arroyo. Granted Arroyo is better on the road, but I still see a W. Sox 8 A's 4.

Bellhorn gets his first HR.

[I Are Baboon]

Arroyo ain't losing tonight.

9-2 Sawx. HR#2 for Millar.

[PissedPrincess]

Arroyo ain't losing tonight.

9-2 Sawx. HR#2 for Millar.

:eek:

[I Are Baboon]

:eek:

:woohoo

Well most of that was correct...I just flubbed the Sox score. :)

[I Are Baboon]

1:00 game today. Clement vs Zito

Sox win 8-2. Clement goes 7 strong. Manny hits a HR.

[I Are Baboon]

Germi Gonzales goes tonight. I just don't feel a win.

7-5 M's. Sexton and Ortiz homer.

[PissedPrincess]

Yeah, the baseball god's have been smiling on us of late. A loss is overdue.

Germi gets rocked. 9-3 Seamen. :(

[Hobosox]

Gonzalez is better than we give him credit for. I say he throws 105 pitches but only goes 5 and a third innings. Bullpen makes us sweat, but we hold on. And Papi homers, cause Papi always homers, that's just what he does.

6-4 Sox

[Blue56]

Xtra's 6-5 Boston

[I Are Baboon]

Princess was closest last night.

Sox will win tonight, and they'll go 3-3 on this road trip.

Tonight: A good outing for Wade Miller. 8-4 Sox.

[Hobosox]

Sox currently playing .500 quality ball and Oakland is looking to end the majors longest current losing streak at 8 games. Much as I hate to say it, the Elephants take this one, 7-3.

[PissedPrincess]

Oakland just got destroyed by the Yanks. They will in turn, destroy us.

13-2 A's. :Pissed:

[I Are Baboon]

The A's can't hit their way out of a paper bag right now. Neither can we, but unlike the A's, the Sox manage to hit a homer once in a while.

4-2 Sox.

[PissedPrincess]

Sox at Jays

The Fatman vs. Bush.

14-1 Jays.

[I Are Baboon]

9-5 Jays. Wells surprises everyone and goes five innings.

Bellhorn strikes out four times. Edgar Rentanerror leaves six on base and hits into two DP's.

[PissedPrincess]

Edgar Rentanerror


:laff:

So Wells gives up 9 runs in 5 innings?

[I Are Baboon]

I think Wells gives up 6 or 7, then the 'pen gives up a few more.

I'm glad the Sox are back on the east coast. I can finally watch a game with my new pup tonight. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/mtbbaboon/IMG_2146.jpg

[PissedPrincess]

I simply must learn how to use my digital camera. :(

Oz watches all the games with me. Ortiz is his favorite player. He looks up and howls when Ortiz comes up to bat.

:smokin:

[I Are Baboon]

I'll let you know who Jewell's favorite player is. :)

Speaking of dogs and Sox, Kellye (aka Yankee 21) is making me a Red Sox coat for Jewell (greyhounds have thin fur and new a coat in cold weather). I will certainly post pics when I get the coat. :)

[PissedPrincess]

A coat? How cool. She makes great stuff. She made Oz a Pats scarf. :thumbsup: I need to get her to make him a Sox bandana.

[PissedPrincess]

Ted Lily vs. Bronson. Bronson loses 2-1. :(

[I Are Baboon]

7-3 Jays. Just because we suck ass.

[Royce]

I'm starting to think that the Jays are actually a good team...and not just off to a good start...

[I Are Baboon]

No way the Sox win two straight against the O's.

O's win tonight 8-5. Wake goes a mere four innings.

[rockin500]

well, wake has given up 3 homers tonight including back to back shots to tejada and sosa.

[I Are Baboon]

FAT BOY is going tonight. Any chance he'll use some of that magical donut power to pitch a decent game? All signs point to NO. I still predict a Sox victory.

9-7 Sox. HR for Trot. John Halama gets the win in relief.

[PissedPrincess]

9-7 Sox. HR for Trot. John Halama gets the win in relief.

Close. :smokin:

Tonight, Arroyo vs. Colon.

We own their fat boy, and Bronson re-did the braids. 6-1 Sox.

[rockin500]

Cubs 8, Sox 6. arroyo goes 4 innings, gives up 6.

[Thedatch]

Sox 4, Cubs 2. Arroyo goes 7 innings, 2 runs, 5 hits. Maddux goes 5, gives up 4. foulke gets the save, papi does yahd

[rowdyBostonfan]

Sox 9 Cubs 6

Foulk almost blows it...again

[I Are Baboon]

I think Fat Boy Wells will pitch well tonight against a PUTRID Reds team. The Reds are something like 6-30 on the road. The Sox can beat those teams, it's teams that are actually GOOD that we can't beat.

12-2 Sox. The offensive surge continues against a weak pitching staff. Another HR for Manny.

[PissedPrincess]

:sigh: Actually, look up our record. We are something like 13-8 vs. good teams. It is the rookie pitchers and bad teams that kill us. 2-6 vs. Jays. 2-4 last 6 vs, Tampa, etc..

We traditionally play good teams well, and lay down against scrubs.

We've never seen this pitcher tonight. Willy Mo is gonna go Vaughn Mo on Wells. 10-3 Reds. :(

[Blue56]

I think Boston will win tonight. Wells has been playing good.
9-3 Sox
Ramirez goes long

[PissedPrincess]

Sox/Injuns

Arroyo vs. ?

I gotta bad feeling. We are due for a beatdown. 11-2 Tribe. :Pissed: Bronson gets knocked out after 3.

[rowdyBostonfan]

Millwood

[PissedPrincess]

Wake vs. some rookie.

:laff:

Texas 18 Sox 1.

[I Are Baboon]

9-3 Rangers. We suck and that will ultimately be our downfall tonight.

[PissedPrincess]

Wake vs. some rookie.

:laff:

Texas 18 Sox 1.

Man, I love being wrong.

Tonight, Chan HO vs. Clement.

Eff if I know. :notme:

[Blue56]

Tomorrow:

W.Miller vs B.Chen

Boston 7-4

[Plastic Bat]

7/10/05

Wakefield vs. Lopez

5-4 Sox win

[Plastic Bat]

Well, that didn't turn out as planned. Sox lose 4-1. Solo by Nixon gave us the one run.

[Blue56]

Ortiz stole a base :eek:

[Plastic Bat]

Holy Shit, I know I saw that it was crazy! LOL!

[PissedPrincess]

7/22

Wake vs. Sox.

The Chisox OWN Wake. OWN. He has like a 900 ERA against them.

(slight exagerration:D)

Palehose 16 Rougehose 2 :(

[I Are Baboon]

No way the Sox with two straight from a division leader on the road. NO EFFING WAY.

OtherSox 9, OurSox 4.

[PissedPrincess]

08/09/05

Clement vs. Rangers

Clement has been God Awful since the AS Break. I mean, AWFUL. We are going to need to score a ton of runs to win this baby.

[I Are Baboon]

I think Clement will get all the support he needs tonight. 10-6 Sox.

[PissedPrincess]

I think Clement will get all the support he needs tonight. 10-6 Sox.

I think you are on crack. But I hope you are correct. :)

[Thedatch]

Clement pitches a no-hitter...mark my words :D

[I Are Baboon]

I think you are on crack. But I hope you are correct. :)

I'm not the one on crack....

Clement pitches a no-hitter...mark my words :D

[Thedatch]

Meth is the new trend guys! :PPsmilie:

[PissedPrincess]

I'm not the one on crack....

Agreed. Wtf is Datch smokin?

[Thedatch]

Meth is the new trend guys! :PPsmilie:

:D

[I Are Baboon]

I think Datch ate some spiked cheese.

[Thedatch]

I think Datch ate some spiked cheese.

:eviltongu

you'll see! my meth enduced haze tells the truth...and it told me Clement was gonna pitch a no-hitter.

[PissedPrincess]

Datch, there is ZERO possibility that Clement throws a nono. There is ZERO possibility he gives up less than 5 runs.

[Thedatch]

Datch, there is ZERO possibility that Clement throws a nono. There is ZERO possibility he gives up less than 5 runs.

is that so? well we'll just see about that. He is definately giving up less than 5 runs today, if the no-hitter falls through. :D

I have faith in Clement :thumbsup:

[PissedPrincess]

Sox at Cats. Rookie going. I fully expect him to be great for 5 innings. Then the pen will come in and get destroyed. 8-2 Cats.

[Plastic Bat]

I say 5-4. Paplebon is a great pitcher, he'll go 6 1/3. Ben will give up three and we'll pick up the win.

[PissedPrincess]

Well let's see now. Clement with his 8.00 ERA since June vs. Lackey. Look for another football score.

14-4 Angels.

[Plastic Bat]

It'll be closer 11 - 8 Halo's

[rowdyBostonfan]

it will be a tie tonight

[Plastic Bat]

You can't tie in baseball....

[PissedPrincess]

You can't tie in baseball....

Yes, you can.

[Plastic Bat]

How?

[Plastic Bat]

It will go into extra innings...

[PissedPrincess]

It will go into extra innings...

:sigh: The Yankees had a tie last yaer. If a game is tied after an official 5 innings, then rained out, the game is an official tie.

[rowdyBostonfan]

some people don't get jokes

the sox didn't play therefore no one won hence a tie
