his overall numbers haven't been all that great' date=' i think the front office will do the smart thing[/quote']

 

Probably. But I think he'll be back up by June.

[Yaz Sideburn]

Where did you hear that?

Exactly. He looks promising, but he isnt ready for full time in the bigs in 2011. Start him in AAA and see where he goes

[VA Sox Fan]

Come on Oki!

[mvp 78]

Let him kill it down in AAA for a full year or until he can get a fulltime job when injuries pile up again.

[Yaz Sideburn]

Where did you hear that?

 

the seattle radio guys just said that they believe he has announced to the team that he's going to leave for japan and end his career there

i agree, he probably will continue to kill down in aaa. but i wouldn't want to put the pressure on him of being the regular left fielder and i wouldn't want to stunt his growth by making him the backup

 

hopefully we can sign mcdonald to fill that role

I can see that happening. Another thing to consider is that his wife put her broadcasting career on hold to come here. I think.

didn't know that latter bit of information. i like okajima, he did some great things for us but i think it's time for him to go back to japan

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Have you noticed who is on the mound?

 

What are the chances the Mariners score 5 runs?

[Spudboy]

Remote, now.

 

My point was more that the game was still in doubt.

[Spudboy]

Sox won, 5-1

 

Very good pitching tonight.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Told you. Sox win! Now those pinstripes need to go down..

[Yaz Sideburn]

win!

 

one way or another, we'll be within 6 games of the wild card tonight

[yeszir]

I'm on a roll

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yes you are. Keep it going for the rest of the season.

[mvp 78]

Think the Sox will pick up Atchison's option?

[Yaz Sideburn]

I'm on a roll

 

i smell a rockies-like finish to the season!

This is what I'm hoping for

[a700hitter]

Told you. Sox win! Now those pinstripes need to go down..

Fingers crossed.

[VA Sox Fan]

Nice WIN!!

[Station 13]

Think the Sox will pick up Atchison's option?

 

He's under control, of course they will for league minimum.

[a700hitter]

This is what I'm hoping for

Since you lived in Paris for a while, I would have thought you were on a baguette.

[Yaz Sideburn]

the yankees lost. with 6 games left against the yankees, who we are 6 games in back of in the standings we officially control our own destiny again

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It's funny how everyones faith in the Sox is back up again.

[a700hitter]

It's funny how everyones faith in the Sox is back up again.

Not really. It's just funny watching the Yankee fans squirm.

[Yaz Sideburn]

It's funny how everyones faith in the Sox is back up again.

 

i still don't think they're going to make the playoffs but at least it's fun to be a red sox fan right now

[Youk Of The Nation]
