July 1st @ Where Home Runs Go to Die

[Brennan]

"Face the facts' date='" the team is only a few games behind in the WC.[/quote']

 

 

 

"Face the facts," the team can't get their s*** together, they have NO chance. They can't win a few games in a row without their weaknesses being exposed. You can dream all you want but there are more than a few teams standing in the way of this clusterf*** going all the way this year. Not gonna happen.

[FredLynn]

Already behind-again.

We cannot afford to lose this game.

[a700hitter]

Doubs is struggling through this s*** lineup.

[FredLynn]

They also could not afford to lose last night's game BTW.

[a700hitter]

Fact: team is above .500

And our pitching is still at the bottom of the pile. CC and Ellsbury don't pitch.

[FredLynn]

Doubs is struggling through this s*** lineup.

 

Doubs is a mediocre SP at best. He has proven nothing. Good chance he will fall by the wayside soon.

[Station 13]

I think I rather watch Matt Barnes paints wall than this game right now.

[mvp 78]

Doubs is a mediocre SP at best. He has proven nothing. Good chance he will fall by the wayside soon.

 

He's a 5th starter. Fine if that's what you need. Sox need him to be a 3-4.

[FredLynn]

And our pitching is still at the bottom of the pile. CC and Ellsbury don't pitch.

 

Its hard to comprehend why people don't see this 700. We are getting no significant pitching help back from the DL. If our pitching doesn't improve we have no chance.

[FredLynn]

He's a 5th starter. Fine if that's what you need. Sox need him to be a 3-4.

 

Right now he's not good enough. And worse, we have no real ace. That is the real problem.

[FredLynn]

Yankees win again. We lose this game and its 8 behind in the lost column...again. The season will once again be on the precipice.

[redsoxbeatz]

Jeter has 5 World Championships.

 

Well, yea the Yankees buy championships. Like buying gold for online games.

 

Harder to buy Superbowls with that Salary cap going nowhere.

[mvp 78]

Right now he's not good enough. And worse' date=' we have no real ace. That is the real problem.[/quote']

 

I agree about the lack of an ace.

[Brennan]

We lose today and what are we? 8 games back?

 

This series exemplifies the attitude of this team for the past few years, travel to the west coast, sleepwalk through the games and collect ginormous paychecks. Not a single f*** given by any of them.

[NativeBostonian]

Yankees win again. We lose this game and its 8 behind in the lost column...again. The season will once again be on the precipice.

 

I don’t know why you are getting your hopes up on catching the Yankees. That’s not going to happen. We should be just trying to get the wild card spot.

[mvp 78]

Well' date=' yea the Yankees buy championships. Like buying gold for online games.[/quote']

 

Those big contracts didn't help the Sox at all... Nope.

[FredLynn]

I agree about the lack of an ace.

 

That is the essence of our pitching problems. And I don't see a realistic solution until the offseason.

[Brennan]

Well' date=' yea the Yankees buy championships. Like buying gold for online games.[/quote']

 

 

And we have been second in line with money doled out for years now and are looking at three years running with no playoffs.

[FredLynn]

WTF is this lineup?

Punto and Lillibridge in the same lineup with Shoppach? This is the most pathetic lineup we can produce without more trades.

[NC Sox Fan]

I'm really surprised Lillibridge had an ineffective at bat

[Station 13]

Platoons ******** usually don't work here with hitters who has .150 BA.

[mvp 78]

That is the essence of our pitching problems. And I don't see a realistic solution until the offseason.

 

They might end up with a better #1, but they aren't getting a Felix Hernandez type pitcher.

[mvp 78]

Aviles is out sick. Kalish hasn't really been mashing. Who else would be in for you?

[Reck]

This team lacks the killer instincts.

 

Should easily be in second place with about 2-3 games ahead of third place.

[FredLynn]

They might end up with a better #1' date=' but they aren't getting a Felix Hernandez type pitcher.[/quote']

 

They could if they are willing to surrender the players to get that kind of pitcher. Lets face it: the way it is right now, this team is going nowhere. We NEED an ace. Someone who can match up against the best pitchers in the league. We get into a one game playoff and we are at a real disadvantage.

[redsoxbeatz]

I wonder if Cherry is going to get us an ace ?

 

If so, it's just Greinke & Hernandez.

 

Not so sure Hamels & Garza are above #2.

[FredLynn]

Aviles is out sick. Kalish hasn't really been mashing. Who else would be in for you?

 

Did not know that Aviles is sick. And Kalish is better than Lillibridge.

[SemperFi Sox]

shocker....no runs. Glad I've had s*** to do.

[Station 13]

If you want an ace, get Hamels this offseason and give him Crafraud like monies. Or developed one your own. Most teams do not trade young aces.

[redsoxbeatz]

Aviles is out sick. Kalish hasn't really been mashing. Who else would be in for you?

 

Iggy should be called up. Defensive porn is better than Punto.
