Would be nice to get a win today. It's always a stinger when you drop a win to the division leader. Just knowing we could have been that much closer with a win yesterday and today. Not to mention we will need the confidence going into The Philly series.

 

Anyways back to my lunch. That would be pizza today :)

Oh please Great Charlie Sheen forgive BPEF and MannyHOF for dissing you yesterday. Please deliver us a win we should have had yesterday.

 

One very inconvenient truth some of my colleagues here refuse to admit or acknowledge is that until the Red Sox can learn to come from behind to win games their status is going to stay in the outhouse. Sure the starting pitching must gather momentum and start doing its job, but good teams can rally from deficits when the occasion demands. The Red Sox cannot because they haven't done this all season and during their collapse last September it was a similar story. Needless to say, too, that Adrian Gonzales needs to start contributing to the offense--which he hasn't.

 

A win tonight makes last night's loss look like a hiccup to otherwise a team's May comeback. Another loss could very well mean t he team is ready to go back in the tank, a place is has become very familiar with since last fall. It must not happen.

Nice trade Ben

 

In this case it is not so much that Reddick is killing it for Oakland. It is more that he is a major league caliber player and trading him when they did is so Red Sox. Here lets take this kid all the way up to the point where he is just about to produce and then........... trade him. Yes of course we trade him. The only difference is that sometimes we do it just before they have ever put on an MLB uniform. Sometimes we do it just after they have tried one on for the first time.

 

We are probably being harsh here though because we did need somebody right. It is a shame that our somebody turned out to be Mr injury prone himself Bailey. I am not sure I would argue that Reddick for an established closer was a bad deal. I do wish we would find a way to hang on to more guys that are just at the point of producing as ML ballplayers. Heck the risk is basically out of the equation at that point. The Sox have put in the time. It would be nice to get some of the benefit.

I would disagree just a little bit. Ten HRs at this point in the season is "killing it" in my book. Another minor point of disagreement: we didn't get an established closer. He had one year without missing major time. We got an injury risk who was capable of being a good closer, but I wouldn't call him an "established closer".

Gonzo goes yard twice tonight. You heard it here first.

 

Apparently, he went deep 7 times during BP today. Not saying that means anything, but at least it shows he still knows how to put backspin on a ball and drive it over the wall. We'll see how well it translates.

NESN is so terrible lately. They just cut the pregame show with Don when he was maybe halfway through for commercials. Then they come back to commercials 2-3 pitches into an inning after an at bat has already ended.

 

Just pure greed, trying to squeeze more commercials in. Unbelievable.

It's about tiome that hje puts some distance between himself and the great power hitting tandem of Nava and Sweeney.
