How do the Sox fans feel now, knowing that all the DB "trolls" were right?

It's not that we didn't know his problems or suggested you were necessarily wrong, we were just kinda hoping he'd buck up. But I guess he's doing a good job of showing why all of LA basically hates him.

The best part is he has the audacity to make it look like he wants to play hurt. When everyone and their mother knows otherwise.

It's getting very hard to root for him. Last night he was the player on the Red Sox that had the best success against Javier Vazquez (maybe not the best, but he's very successful against him). And what did he do? He sat like a bitch.

Word.

 

Baseball is an athletic competition, not freaking Dungeons & Dragons. Thank you fantasy baseball for making "fans" even more stat-obsessed.

 

By the way, I hear Nancy Drew's vaginal strain is acting up again. Condolences. Doesn't he know that faking an injury after crappy production is Jim Edmonds' thing?

 

Further down the tangent - did anyone else notice that the highlights in Edmonds' hair disappeared when J.D. went to the Dodgers? I think J.D. was Jimmy's hairdresser. Do the math, it checks out...

Okay I will type differently

 

MJ is that you?

 

If it is, you know me from the "other site"

still off.

still off.

 

Well I am not mr crunchy and I am not trying ti imitate him.

It easier for me to type small case, due to physical limitations. But I will type this way even tho it will take a bit longer as not to offend anyone.

[Metropolitan Cowboy]

You guys know why he has been benched?

[schillingouttheks]

You guys know why he has been benched?

 

He's probably on his period. No idea. He pinch ran for Hinske though and scored a run...impressive eh?

[Rdsxmbnt]

hes been in the hospital with his son who had surgery, not sure why he didnt start today though

Oh. My bad. I retract that statement.

 

Yeah, not sure why he didn't start today though.

[chacha]

his son is sick and has been for awhile

 

ya think we should of looked another outfielder?

 

fkn theo

[Mr Crunchy]

no

im not chacha

shes a good friend of mine though

chacha just got out of surgery herself and is supposed to be cutting my wife and sons hair at 10am

hi g,hope all went well

shes over here because its a sox forum and she knows the game a bit

she didnt consult with me when she joined or what she posts

shes a good lady and a great boston sports fan and ive known her longer than most of you people have been alive

 

i feel comfortable in my own skin and the last time i changed my name was when the sox lost game 3 against the whitesox in 05...

 

not that i need to give you guys an explanation but just the same

i dont want carmen miranda to be thought of as my avatar

fair enuff folks??

 

drews 17mo old son has been sick

i dont know the degree of illness nor the length of time the baby has been down

if the kids been sick all year its a valid excuse for his pathetic efforts this year but it dont explain his frequent time off over his career.

 

we can only wish the baby and family God speed and jd drew to get a streak of meaness across his ass for the strectch run.

doesnt that metro guy look like ray patriaca jr or hawk lanzetta??

Son's crisis put a scare into Drew

By Daniel Malloy, Globe Correspondent | August 3, 2007

 

The hamstring problems, subpar batting average, and any other woes from J.D. Drew's season became trivial in an instant last week. Drew's 17-month-old son, Jack, needed surgery.

 

Drew and his wife, Sheigh, had noticed Jack walking strangely, but when he fell and broke his collarbone last week, a trip to the orthopedist revealed that Jack had developmental displacement of the hips and would require surgery.

 

It was a shock, but the timing was fortunate. Catching it before 18 months is critical, and the Red Sox were about to play three games in Boston, home to some of the finest medical care in the country.

 

"It all kind of fell into our lap and we really needed to get something done, and this was the only time we were going to be home over the next couple of weeks, so it worked out that way," Drew said yesterday, his first day back with the team after Jack's surgery Tuesday.

 

"I know God has a hand in everything, and it was just one of those situations where we're [in Boston] for a reason, and I think that may be one of them. I think we got some great medical attention and some great doctors in this area, so it all worked out well."

 

The surgery lasted six hours, with another 45 minutes to put on a cast that extends from Jack's chest to his ankles. J.D. had planned to play Wednesday night against the Orioles but didn't get enough rest.

 

"We didn't see him open his eyes until about 1:30 [a.m.], so we just didn't get much sleep," Drew said. "My wife slept for about 15 minutes, and I actually went home, and he had a bunch of spasms throughout the night, just trying to fight off the anesthesia and the cast that he has."

 

Jack was released from the hospital Wednesday night. Sheigh, who is expecting the couple's second child in November, and her mother took care of Jack yesterday when J.D. decided to return to the team.

 

"It was hard walking out that door this afternoon," Drew said. "You hate to leave a little guy like that crying for his dad when you're walking out."

 

After staying later than he thought to help Sheigh prepare for his nine-game road trip, Drew didn't arrive at Fenway until less than an hour before game time, and was scratched from the starting lineup. But he returned to a receptive and sympathetic group.

 

"Tito [manager Terry Francona] is incredible and very understanding, and all the medical staff was helpful in terms of telling me what doctor to go to and things like that," Drew said.

 

"I talked to [owner John W.] Henry in the dugout right before the game started; we were talking in the tunnel. And that's great when you got people dedicated to family. That's important to us."

 

Drew took some swings in the batting cage, then ran for Eric Hinske in the seventh inning and took over in left field. He flied out to left in the eighth.

 

"He hadn't even probably picked up a bat in three days, and I'm sure he felt like he was in the middle of quicksand," Francona said. "But he got an at-bat and he got in the outfield almost like taking batting practice, trying to get back into the rhythm a little bit. I'm sure this six-hour flight will be good for him."

 

The at-bat was helpful in returning to the game, but meaningless for Drew when compared to Jack lying in a cast back at home. He will be in the cast for 6-8 weeks, and though the long-term outlook is good, there is no way to know for sure.

 

"We just kind of play it by ear," Drew said. "Hopefully, everything forms as it should and there isn't any recurrence of surgeries or anything like that. But there's always a possibility that they have to go in and restructure some stuff the older he gets."

 

After he finished speaking with the media, Drew headed for the bus to the airport, where a plane to Seattle awaited. He said he would use the trip to catch up on sleep on the way to the West Coast, where his mind, no doubt, will frequently wander home.

 

"It will be tough to be away," he said. "But I think my wife and her mom will be able to handle it for a while."

[lasordas speed dial]

Im sure this is the reason he is playing like he always does. Sucky and half-ass. It's a shame to think that ball-players are people too. At least he has a hot wife.

[Mr Crunchy]

his wifes name is sheigh

has anyone seen shea hillebrant and sheigh drew in the same room??

 

is that liz taylor on your arm tommy??

i watched barry zito and his 85mph fast ball stick it up the dodgers ass last evening

nice effort

 

shouldnt you be worrying about colorado or sandiego or arizona or some other AAAA club rather than being this obsessed with the best team in baseball??

 

so drew left los angeles

it seems to bother you people in an unhealthy manner.

it happens to the best of teams,players leave for more money or better oppurtunity and their fans get upset but generally get over it by the time the allstar game is rolling around.

if you want to be upset then you have a good reason to be based on the pitchers i saw last night....

if you looked up ""suck"" in the dictionary you would brett ho ho tomko leading the list

Brett Tomko (L 2-9) 5.0 5 3 3 3 1 0 102-63 5.56

Scott Proctor 1.1 1 1 1 2 1 0 27-14 5.40

Joe Beimel 0.2 0 0 0 0 0 0 3-3 4.05

Rudy Seanez 1.0 1 0 0 0 1 0 12-7 4.11

Roberto Hernandez 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9-4 3.52

 

its difficult for me to reason with some of the people in here about the lack of nl west talent but these names alone make a solid case for ned colletti and any loyal dodger fan to kill himself

 

roberto hernandez brett tomko and rudy seanez

IN THE SAME GAME ON THE SAME TEAM??

 

jesus christ

why would you worry about jd drew with these f***ing wankers on your staff??

[Metropolitan Cowboy]

Hmm, Derek Fisher stepped it up when his daughter was sick. Drew is just a POS out to get paid.

comparing 2 NBA playoff games to 2 baseball games in a 162 schedule? youre a f***ing moron

[chacha]

"geri

honest to God sph

I really thought it was hawk!

 

HI YAZMAN!

 

i dont mean any disrespect to JD and his family , I wish them all the best.

All I am saying is that if the FO knew about the situation, we could have picked up a steady outfielder, that we wouldnt have to give up the farm for.

Ty wiggington comes to mind. Not a bad player, but not a superstar either. A good fill in. Plays several positions too.

[TedWilliams101]

Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. JD must have some REALLY weak genes. His son is becoming just as fragile as him.

 

On a more serious note, that is scary what happened to his son, I hope all goes well.
