I just want to say this with all the negative feelings towards this team floating around.

 

Abe Alvarez is a big part of the future of this franchise. Let's not get on him and say he sucks and he's a piece of s***, because he just isn't. This was his first big league appearance; it came on short notice and he probably didn't sleep. The normal command and poise weren't there today, but even a Navy SEAL would've been bricking his pants with that kind of pressure to get the opportunity to acheive the goal you've been dreaming of your entire life.

 

This kid reminds me so much of Tom Glavine that it's frightening. He's going to be a fantastic pitcher when he comes into his own and to get on him now after his first big-league appearance would be stupid. After some starts for Pawtucket this season and some experience, knowledge and development come, he should be in the rotation at some point in 2005, depending upon the free-agent situation. Any time you can find a left-handed #2 starter for cheap from within your system, you've got to be happy. So let's buck up and think of how much fun 2005 could potentially be.

I'm the source of the negative feelings, so I'll respond.

 

I already said it's not Abe's fault. The whole team sucks.

The Sox returned Alvarez to Portland. I don't like the move, he should've been sent to Pawtucket; he's done all he can in Portland.

i was at the game yesterday, and i think abe pitched fairly decent for the level that he is at. if he wants succeed, hes gotta get his velocity up, he was only throwing in the upper 80s. he also needs another pitch. he basically threw his fastball all day, with a big looping curve here and a change there.

 

ortiz is that fastest man on the planet!!! haha
