They are actually starting to play like a team.
Well we'll have our chances. I think we'll fare much better the second time around.

Now please go ahead and introduce yourself to Taylor. We're going to get married, have 10 kids, and teach them how to dream.
No he doesn't.
Gonzales has a .685 OPS with no men on base, but OPS's of .954 and 1.359 with runners on and RISP respectively. He's also OPS'in 1.357 in 2 out, RISP situations.
We miss you Mike.
I hope you are right my friend.......I am reserving judgement. I would like to see the pitching get a lot better.

Perfect team win. Offense does its job, Doubront was impressive, and 3 scoreless from the pen.

So, this brings us to 8-10 right?
"It happens to everybody, man. He's had 60 at-bats. A couple of years ago, I had 60 at-bats, and I was hitting .170, and everyone was ready to kill me, too. And what happened? Laser show. So, relax."
Tazawa is a sight for sore eyes.
Just because they didn't beat them earlier doesn't mean they won't beat them later.
It's amazing how much better a team plays when it's winning games and gaining confidence.
Oh, and when they have 3 of their studs (Ells, Craw, Bailey), who should all be back in the middle of the year.
This team just needs to keep pace for the first half, stay within striking distance, and then when the reinforcements come back, they can make some headway pretty quickly.
AGons has always been first pitch happy....at least as long as I have seen him in Boston. I think that is in part why he disappears in high intensity situations when the pitcher is really amped up. He is 0-1 in the hole all the time, never even evens the count and ends up swinging at a pitchers pitch to make out.He's hitting .300, but I haven't seen him hit too many balls that hard. He's swinging at a lot of first pitches and hitting a lot of soft ground balls right at middle infielders.. I don't know, something just seems off about him this year
Good game. Good win.
Plus, you never know what's going to be floating around at the deadline.

Good win tonight. Doubront and Tazawa both proved quite a bit. Tazawa definitely deserves his spot in the 'pen. His stuff is just nasty.
And the Lord said, "Go Sox"
People tell me that I'm patronizing.
(That's when you talk down to people)
I would vote for that. Buchholtz and Lester have to do better, and our bullpen obviously has to pitch better. If those things happen we can play with anyone.

Good game. Good win. Good night.
Whoever is starting these threads sure has the touch.

I think that we haven't seen his ceiling in Boston uniform (Probably first half last year). I think he can (and will) give a lot more IMO.
