And, even if we ultimately aren't in the running this year... so what? Is the world ending in December? We have a good team. I'll gladly go into next season with this team, providing we sign Bay. We might also have a breakout-ready Buchholz to put in the rotation.

At least the got something back. Hopefully Penny gets his s*** together, and the offense keeps it up.

Yes.

 

The top of the rotation is excellent. Beckett and Lester is an awesome 1-2 punch.

 

Winning 2 out of every 5 games is not a recipe for success.

 

As much as I would love Halladay, he isn't a guy we need to get if we're to have any chance to win anything. Depth is where we could use improvement, and since I still really doubt that Ricciardi will actually trade us Halladay for anything less than an obscene package, we should be focusing more on those guys (Doug Davis, Jarrod Washburn).

 

The improvement needs to come from somewhere. Halladay makes this team incredible on the front end, gives them a huge competitive advantage in the playoffs (should they get there) and will help save the bullpen, something Penny and Smoltz can't seem to do.

 

Since the Seattle series, this team has been wallowing in its own filth.

 

Jarrod Washburn would be a terrible signing for this team. Extreme FB pitcher without the best OF defense in the league in the AL East? Davis, NL junkballer coming to the AL East? Terrible idea.

 

The lineup is slumping horribly, but when these guys are performing up to par (individually), its a good lineup. Is Jason Bay going to keep on declining and end up with .400 OPS for the month of September? I don't think so. And if our big bats do suck for the rest of the year, we're not winning anything anyway, no matter what we do on the trade front

 

It's a good thing I haven't held my breath for Jason Bay to make any adjustments seeing as its been close to two full months of suckage from him.

 

I disagree on your second point. A run saved is worth just as much as a run earned, getting Halladay would cover up A LOT of warts of this offense.

 

I hate to give up Buchholz, I really do, but the time is right to make the trade.

 

One player doesn't solve everything. If we trade a boatload of prospects for Gonzalez, and the offense continues to struggle, how would you feel then? Again, there's nothing wrong with some bolstering here and there.

 

I want Halladay.

 

The bullpen is what it is right now. Its talented, but nothing's guaranteed as last night showed.

 

I actually think the bullpen is the strength of this team. SP is slightly above average and the offense is the same.

 

Papelbon needs to get his s*** straightened out, though.

 

Yes, we're a contender. We're 1.5 ahead of the Rangers in the wild card, and that's a team I think is destined to fold down the stretch. They haven't been here before, their pitching is still rather limited (albeit a lot better than recent years).

 

While I don't disagree, their offense covers a lot of their warts. They've won the last two against the ALC leading Tigers pretty easily.

 

Hunter, Feldman, and Millwood are all having great years. If Feliz comes up, they're that much better.

 

Our only real challengers for the WS are the Yankees and Tigers (we dominate the Angels in the playoffs all the time, we're probably in their heads at this point, so I'm not worried about a playoff meeting).

 

The Yankees are a much better team than we are right now. I buy the Rangers more than the Tigers.

 

Writing the Angels off is incredibly foolish.

The worst of both worlds. Wathing the Sox suck while at work!

 

 

On the other hand, you are being paid!

That was a much better effort on Penny's part. He's going to need a couple of those to get deep though.

Kilo I see you s***ing on Bay, have you joined my side of things yet?;)

 

If TB doesn't pick up Crawford's option, I tell Bay to go pound sand and Sign Crawford:D
