Like, holy s*** Edgar, you suck.

Yuck, is anyone getting this electronic buzzing/interference sound on the radio? Its making the game even more unbearable than it would be otherwise...

Like, holy s*** Edgar, you suck.

 

Calm down man its no big deal. Do you realize that not only changing teams but leagues isnt that easy. He has to learn where to play defense for certain players and learn to gel with the players around him. He also has never played in the American League before. Terry Francona said it himself to give him a month and you'll see the real Renteria. Anything we are getting now is a plus from him.

 

The Card's had the best inside info on Edgar. If they felt his best days were behind him, why would they make him a similar offer? He'll be fine. It looks like most of the Sox offense is a little sluggish coming out of the gate.

 

Renteria is not a .330 hitter, that was a blip in the radar. But he is not a .270 hitter either. He is as advertised, a good hitter with the occasional pop, great D, and great speed. If you want a .300 average out of him, you may be waiting awhile, but he will give you consistent .290 30 doubles with slick D and 20-30 SBs, if he doestn do that I will be shocked, but as has been said, it is early. Lots of very good veterans have awful starts, it is in their blood, just look at the yankees....

[BoSox Rule]

He's overrated defensively, too. Edgar Renteria was always overrated, other than in 2003, a clear outlier in his career. He's been a below average hitter and fielder his entire career.

[yeszir]

This is one of the ugliest games I've ever listened to or recieved second hand accounts of.

[BoSox Rule]

A comeback wouldn't hurt. In fact, it would be awesome.

[BoSox Rule]

I wish they were allowed to show people run on the field.

[yeszir]

I wish they were allowed to show people run on the field.

I think they are allowed it, they just choose not to because it only encourages people. If Comedy Central can air uncut movies, NESN can show some guy running. Heck, he could even be naked.

[BoSox Rule]

I remember them saying they weren't allowed to awhile back.

[Zenny]

f*** the Orioles. I'm sick of this team. Why can't we play the Yankees more often? They SUCK!

Things I hate seeing (from the Boston.com postgame recap)

 

1:

- Brian Roberts stole second. Runner on second with none out and Melvin Mora at the plate.

- Melvin Mora struck out on a foul bunt. Runner on second with one out and Miguel Tejada due up.

- Brian Roberts stole third. Runner on third with one out and Miguel Tejada at the plate.

- Miguel Tejada grounded out short to first scoring Brian Roberts.

 

2:

- Rafael Palmeiro struck out swinging. On the play, Luis Matos stole second. Runner on second with one out and Geronimo Gil due up.

Even if the last time didnt result in a run, we're letting them go from 1st to 3rd for free! Aaaaah!
