West Palm through Vero isn't too bad. The rest of the East Coast can suck it. St Augustine is supposed to be very nice, but you probably can smell Jacksonville from there.Originally Posted by a700hitter

Mookie hitting 3rd . Pedey leading off ? The new look line up for tonight.
I'm pretty sure I was one of the people who thought and said bosoxmal was nuts. But I have to admit that the lineup that worked so well April-July (well, late July if not all of it) hasn't worked so well in August. More to the point, we lost a bunch of 1 and 2 run games when a change might have helped. We still don't know the new one--Pedroia, Bogaerts, and Betts--will work, but no harm in trying at this juncture.
Good call by bosoxmal.
@sean_mcadam SOX v NYY: Pedroia 2B; Bogaerts SS; Betts RF; Ortiz DH; Ramirez 1B; Bradley CF; Shaw 3B; Leon C; Benintendi LF; Pomeranz P.
Steven Wright not pitching on Thursday. He got injured pinch running. The injury happened diving back into second base on Sunday night. No DL yet.
Are you kidding? I thought that his awkward dive back in an semi face plant could have caused an injury. What did he injure -- shoulder, hand? Farrell should be run out of town. Friggin idiot. Does Wright even look fast ? No, he looks slow, and I don't like our few good starting pitchers running the bases.

Another nail in Farrell's coffin.
Jesus Christ. Why didn't he let Buchholz pinch run instead of Wright? Farrell definitely has a streak of buffoonery.
Interesting information.
How about practicing what you preach?
Everyone on talksox deserves respect.
At least that is how we used to roll.
And really, you have misinterpreted MVP's words which were clearly more of an indictment of Farrell as a manager than of your friend.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
But still. much of Florida is a shit hole.

Farrells's coffin should be sealed.
STEVEN WRIGHT TO MISS START AFTER BASERUNNING INJURY 08.10.16 at 5:09 pm ET
By DJ Bean
Steven Wright will miss his next start due to inflammation in his shoulder, John Farrell said prior to Wednesday’s game. Wright suffered the injury diving into a base while serving as a pinch-runner Saturday against the Dodgers.Steven Wright
With Wright missing his start, Boston’s rotation the next three days will be Eduardo Rodriguez Thursday, David Price Friday and Clay Buchholz Saturday. Buchholz will make his first start in over a month, as he last served as a starter on July 2, allowing six runs (three earned) over 4 1/3 innings in a 21-2 loss to the Angels.
Though the injury will not land Wright on the disabled list for now, it does disrupt what’s been a very strong season for the knuckle-baller. Wright is 13-5 on the season with a 3.01 earned run average over 146 2/3 innings pitched. In his last start, Wright allowed three hits in pitching a complete-game shutout against the Dodgers.
Farrell also said that Blake Swihart will undergo his scheduled ankle surgery Monday in North Carolina. The surgery, which will be performed by Dr. Robert B. Anderson, will end Swihart’s season.

Farrell has that sort of Born Loser thing going on. Any time he does something that might be questionable, he gets burned.
Except in 2013

Re: the "racist" David Ortiz bobblehead. Here is a suggestion for team President Sam Weenie Kennedy. Paint the lips on the bobblehead purple and give them out tomorrow night as ARod bobble heads.

JF has been reading my posts since April. Wonder why it took so long!
