7/11 @ Toronto

[WhiskeyBreath]

Absolutely disgusting. Leave a pitch up like that to a struggling Hill. Well, it's not like anyone didn't see this coming.

[msubulldogs21]

I would definitely use Casey Kelly as a trading chip to get Roy Oswalt who is on the block.

 

I would definitely... not.

[WhiskeyBreath]

I would definitely... not.

 

Agreed.

[JimEdHOF2009]

Like I said...Dice-K will give it back..he is f***ing terrible! I HATE Dice-K.. Lackey and Dice-K two of the most overpaid stiffs in the game.

\

Theo should be on the phone with Houston telling them we will pay half of Dice-K's remaining deal and send them Casey Kelly for Oswalt.. Dice and Lackey cannot be tursted with ANY lead..they are both worthless.

[msubulldogs21]

If you knew we could get 6 IP 2 ER from Dice today, who wouldn't take that?

[JimEdHOF2009]

I would definitely... not.

I expect Dice-K and Lackey to be able to protect 3 run leads. So he had a quality start...for what he is being paid he should be throwing a QS nearly every time he toes the rubber... Ditto for Lackey..

 

Casey Kelly should not be untouchable.. I will however restate the trade I proposed.. We shouldn't eat much if any of Dice-K's contract... I don't even think it would take Kelley.. Kalish and Dice-K might work.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Only 8 pitches for Bard that inning. Getting 2 innings from Bard would be huge.

No way. Oswalt has one more year left on his deal. I don't think he wants any part of the American League anyway.

You have to get 2 innings from Bard..not IF...you simply HAVE to... He will have 4 .5 days of rest....same with Paps.

 

CASH got a HIT~!

You really would want to throw away a potentially excellent future in Casey Kelley for Roy Oswalt? A guy who is a soon to be 33 year old career NL pitcher? I have a feeling you would regret that trade. Oswalt posted a 4.12 ERA with 138 K's last season... pitching in the NL Central. Something tells me that wouldn't be a smooth transition to the AL East.

Then use Dice-K as trade bait to the Phillies for Werth.. He would fit in nicely in left... When Jacoby comes back Cameron becomes the 4th outfielder and that works nicely for his abdominal situation.... We also get the jump on resigning Werth to a long-term deal to be our Leftfielder for thew next 5 years. Dice-K would slide into the #3 starter role for the Phillies.. Makes too much sense NOT to be considered.

Dice K isn't going anywhere.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Patterson draws the walk. Hit a lefty for once Drew. Please

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice AB for Patterson.

[JimEdHOF2009]

Please don't make it 3 TERRIBLE blown saves on the year Paps.. we need this one.

[soxfan74]

Well it's time for Paps. Lets get Nasty Jonathan.

[JimEdHOF2009]

Top 6th: Boston

- M. Scutaro homered to left, K. Cash scored

- D. McDonald homered to left

- D. Ortiz homered to deep right

 

I think the guy doing Yahoo's Gameday is tipping back a few.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Game Ovah!

[JimEdHOF2009]

THANK GOD! Big win.

[VA Sox Fan]

Good pitching today. GREAT win!!

[msubulldogs21]

Big W to go into the all star break on a good note. Good job by Dice today.

 

Time to get healthy.

[soxfan74]

Got it done. Good job Paps . Big win going into the break!

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice mojo today WB! Congrats on your 1st in game thread!!

[WhiskeyBreath]

I really didn't think Dice was going to get the W today even though he's had some pretty good success in Toronto.

Dice K is like a box of chocolates......

[italstallianion]

I think we should promote some useless players to the Sox and sacrifice them so that no more of our good players get injured.

How about we just kill the trainer and get a new one?

[SoxSport]

Just when you're ready to write off Dice-K, he gives you reason not to write him off--until the next start.

[SoxSport]

Maybe it had something to do with their pre-season conditioning--or lack of it. Who was the bench coach they lost who was in charge of that?

[msubulldogs21]

If you're referring to the previous bench coach that was Brad Mills. Currently it's Demarlo Hale.
