We were 9-10 prior to those 11 games. We already stunk' date=' now we're just pathetic.[/quote']

 

So we as sox fans will cheer them when they win,but degrade the whole team for a few player mistakes?

 

How about those loyal fans of teams who never had success ,and a winning season for that matter.:dunno:

 

Nothing more we can do is watch,and stick with them.Hoping the players themselves do something,if the FO cannot

Absolutely! When we were 10-10, everyone was happy and we were gunning for 1st place, anxiously awaiting the return of our Greek God of Walks, Sugartits Crawford, and Pretty Boy Ellsbury. Now we lost a few games and it's time for a firesale.

Looks like Nava has had a great couple of weeks in Pawtucket and has really lifted his BA so this is a good opportunity for the Sox to give this a shot. They surely need some help in the OF. The more the kids come up the more at least the Sox are fun to watch and the are not hurting this team.

Daniel Nava? The season is over for us. This guy has a great story and one unbelievable memory for the rest of his life, but he is not a major league ballplayer. At the end of 2010, I posted here that he would never wear a Red Sox uniform again except maybe for a September cup of coffee and that if we saw him in a role other than that, it would be because we were in deep do-do. Well, we are certainly in deep do-do. This is the proof. Hopefully, he is hot and he gets a few hits. He is a train wreck in the OF so he will fit right in.

The kids are my euphemism for the guys that have never really made it up here and have either been minor league players forever or are minor leaguers as a part of their development. His age is right there on the stat sheet so it is not hard to see.

 

They clearly need some help in the outfield. They have to "try" something. I would rather they try this a different way but I think what we have been suggesting here is just to radical for the Sox to try. The point is I don't think Nava will hurt the way Byrd and d-mac have been playing. Unfortunately I guess the way the Sox are doing this there is not a way to keep Ross, Byrd and d-mac sitting at the same time with a RH pitcher on the mound so I guess Byrd plays. He probably is the best of a bad bunch of options at this point. Ross is really struggling against RH pitchers and has maybe been marginally worse than Byrd in the field. d-mac has been better in the field but can't hit anything thrown by anybody at the plate. Byrd has been less LH/RH pitcher dependent than Ross. I guess Ross' outfield difficulties seem more across the board whereas Byrd does not seem to be seeing the ball at all well. I don't know which one is scarier.

They needed a left handed hitting OFer, so they opted for Nava instead of Bobby Abreu. Both would cost the league minimum. Mind boggling. Simply mind boggling.

Abreu is doing pretty damn good hitting in the middle of the lineup for the first place Dodger's, but let's go with Nava. This guy Cherrington is a real dimwit. He doesn't think ahead a single bit. He's clueless.
