August 25th vs Seattle

[Cocos Disciples]

Right now you cannot compare Damon and Crisp. Hopefully soon, as they both age (Damon into over the hill and Crisp into prime), we can say we made a good choice.

 

Pedroia bobbles it, but luckily Bloomquist doesn't go, 2 out.

[CrespoBlows]

Theo is paid to make the moves he does, and he's paid to do his homework. If you paid 700 the same, then he would owe you a response, but he's just a fan who's entitled to his opinion. It's clear that Theo didn't do all he could to make this team better. We don't have to give examples of what we would do if we disapprove of a move that was made.

 

That's a dodge.

 

If you constantly rip someone, for decisions they make, then you better have some sort of idea on what you would do to make it better. If you can't give one example of what you would do, then why would you critize the guy? It's obvious that you don't have a better decision.

 

700hitter, did the opposite though. I asked him, and he responded. If I asked you to tell me what moves you'd make, would you really say, I don't know?

[MANNYHOF24]

Attrocious decision by Crisp. I'd say trade him this offseason, but he keeps lowering his stock. Ellsbury probably needs one more year, so they might as well give Coco a chance to look good again next year.

 

Andrew Jones or Torri Hunter are both going to be on the market next off season.

Give Coco next year, if he sucks, trade him, if he's good, call up Ellsbury to play center and either trade Crisp when he has more value or start him in a corner spot, if Pena or Manny cannot start.

Hunter has no juice left in the bat.

Is A. Jones a FA? I thought he was a FA after '07...

[MANNYHOF24]

15 Jacks including a 3 run homer tonight, he has spent a considerable amount of time on the DL as well, which have hurt his power numbers. It would be 1-0 still if Coco didnt suck.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

well yes 07 but its been rumored that Atlanta will try to move him. Maybe Coco and Hansen and Edgar Martinez for Jones?

[Cocos Disciples]

I thought Mateo was the setup man?

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

well yes 07 but its been rumored that Atlanta will try to move him. Maybe Coco and Hansen and Edgar Martinez for Jones?

Pay most of Coco's contract and throw Ellsbury in there and they might do it.

[MANNYHOF24]

wow, I never thought id say this but is there any update on Nixon's comeback?

[a700hitter]

Youk has a stomach bug.

I remember Yaz playing against the Yanks with diarrhea. After the opposition made the third out in each inning, he came running off the field like a mad man to get to the bathroom. I don't remember the exact game, but my recollection is that he made some key offensive contributions. No pun intended. Most of today's players (Schilling excluded) are a bunch of Mary's.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

The two moves I wanted the Red Sox to make: Sign Carlos Beltran and Orlando Cabrera. Yes, that would be expensive but deffinitly worth it. Imagine having those two guys batting in front of Ortiz and Manny.

[MANNYHOF24]

this lineup is not even worth staying up for.

[a700hitter]

This is infuriating to watch. The Royals have a better lineup without Sweeney.

Could just imagine a big brown spot in his ass and a streak down his leg...

[ORS]

This isn't fun. They are getting 3-hit by guys that they'll probably end up picking up off waivers next year when someone in the rotation goes down.

[riverside sluggers]

wow, I never thought id say this but is there any update on Nixon's comeback?

 

Yes because Nixon was much more of an offensive force this season than Wily Mo has been for us

 

How about his "monstrous" July before he got hurt again?

[a700hitter]

Theo and his sharp eye for talent may be working a waiver deal for these guys as we speak.

[RoyNHSox]

well yes 07 but its been rumored that Atlanta will try to move him. Maybe Coco and Hansen and Edgar Martinez for Jones?

 

Jones’ 10-5 rights kicked in earlier this month so it might be more difficult for the Braves to move him.

[MANNYHOF24]

Its too bad Because Schill is pitching well, the Yanks are losing the White Sox lost, we really should think about rallying and winning this game tonight.

[Cocos Disciples]

Sigh...

[MANNYHOF24]

did you see that catch Coco didnt make?

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Coco Crisp sucks again......what a shock

[schillingouttheks]

Yes because Nixon was much more of an offensive force this season than Wily Mo has been for us

 

How about his "monstrous" July before he got hurt again?

No, it's more like Nixon was much more of an offensive force than Kapler.

[RoyNHSox]

Coco is having an off night, no make that an off year.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

No, it's more like Nixon was much more of an offensive force than Kapler.

 

and Coco Crisp....I'd rather have Nixon or Pena start in CF

[a700hitter]

Jones’ 10-5 rights kicked in earlier this month so it might be more difficult for the Braves to move him.

What is Ichiro's contract status? He would look mighty good patrolling CF in Fenway. Plus, think of the international interest generated in Japan with the two biggest japanese stars in MLB going at each other 19 times a year in sports most intense rivalry.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

f*** that I'm going to bed.....f*** you Red Sox....AGAIN
