August 26th vs Seattle

[schillingouttheks]

Game. Set. Match. Series loss. Still 5.5 games back.

 

DFA Terry Francona. I wish that was possible

[example1]

Pack your bags Timlin. Its time for a DFA

 

Can they also DFA Francona, Kaplar and Hinske?

[a700hitter]

Terry will send him back out there tomorrow, because he's a freakin jerk.

[schillingouttheks]

Trade Francona for Grady Little!!!!!

 

I'm not kidding.

[CrespoBlows]

He's just not THAT good man. He's just not.

[jsinger121]

Honestly its come to the point where I am hoping Timlin blows out his arm on the mound.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

No seriously...has the FO even been in CONTACT with Sweet Lou?

[mtbykr]

The DL.

 

I don't think anyone could hit Putz tonight.

 

 

We shouldn't of needed to hit him

[MC Hammer]

Why Tito has never ending faith in Cora and Timlin I'll never know.

Yeah, I'm capable of looking at stats. This guy isn't a top notch closer, I don't give a f*** what his numbers say. I live in the Pac Northwest, I watch the M's a lot. He's not Rivera and he's not K-Rod.

 

Thanks for that neat link though.

[mosox]

This one has to be on Francona. Are there any Tito apologists willing to explain this one?

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I can't believe I skipped the UFC to watch these bums tonight. I feel like my emotions get put through a UFC fight night in and night out with these class B douchebags.

[jsinger121]

well at least the patriots won 41-0 tonight

Since you seem aware of the minor league happenings...

 

where is Edgar Martinez? Why is he still in the minors when the major league 'talent' is obviously so suspect?

[a700hitter]

No seriously...has the FO even been in CONTACT with Sweet Lou?

He doesn't fit the mold that JH is looking for. He likes these media friendly/professional types like Tito and Theo. Duke got fired because he had the reputation of being a prick with the press. A fiery type like Sweet Lou would never get the approval of a sissy like JH.

If he wasn't a top-notch closer, the stats would prove it otherwise.

 

I know you saw a guy who threw 98 mph, with an outstanding changeup. This guy is a shut down closer.

[schillingouttheks]

If it weren't for the Patriots, I'd go crazy.

[MC Hammer]

I think this was actually one of those games where you say "Even if the Pats won by 40 today it wouldn't make me feel any better"

He threw 98 during the 5 saves that he blew too. He's a good closer, I don't doubt it. But with guys like Lopez swinging at pitches by his head he's going to get more saves.

I still feel ok because this red sox team is not a playoff team and them winning 2 of 3 in anaheim gave fans false hope.

I want to be optomistic, i really do---but this is getting just stupid. Our starting pitching has been doing great lately (ever since shill in the yanks series) and our offense and bullpen have crapped the bed. This game is squarely on Timlins head (and tito's for sending him out there--and then not having anyone ready when he expectedly crapped the bed) However we have scored 3 runs in 2 games against the M's---come on guys:rolleyes:

[MC Hammer]

Are Tek and Wake ever coming back?

[jsinger121]

If this team is done then both can take the rest of the year off. See them in 2007.

We have had scored 3 runs in 2 games against the M's, come on guys.

 

f***ing idiot. Are you capable of putting together anything that resembles a coherent sentence?

This team is like my kitchen currently: there are plenty of different ingredients, but none of them make anything useful.

 

flour? check

 

sugar? check

 

Chocolate chips? nope

 

Cereal? check

 

Milk? nope

 

Frozen juice? yup

 

Adequate container to make it in? nope

 

pancake mix? yup

 

eggs? nope

 

Syrup? nope

 

They are a hodgepodge team that WOULD have been adequate to (perhaps) make the playoffs if Trot, Wake, Gonzo, Tek and CLement had been healthy this whole time. Without them they are chocolate chip pancakes without eggs, syrup or a pan to cook them in. (sorry for the poor analogy, its late).

Is "f***ing idiot" a sentence?

[a700hitter]

Boomer hadn't thrown 100 pitchers. He was dealing beautifully. He should have come out for the 8th with Papelbon backing him up. Going to Timlin was just so ridiculous. He stayed with him after the HR-- that was bad enough, but then he stayed with him after the next guy got on. It was time to get him before he could throw away the game.

The best part is that the ingredients we're missing change every night. Sometimes we're unhittable but we can't score a run, then the next night we can't get an out but we score 10 runs. Is there anything more frustrating?

[CrespoBlows]

No.

[example1]

No.

 

Isn't a subject missing as well?
