July 1st @ Where Home Runs Go to Die

[FredLynn]

This team lacks the killer instincts.

 

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

 

We do not have the talent to be in that situation.

[Station 13]

What the hell Doubront.

[FredLynn]

More sloppy baseball, this time by Doubront not watching the baserunner. Every single game...sloppy sloppy sloppy

[redsoxbeatz]

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

Crawford & Gonzo = busts (currently)

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

Yanks spend double Red Sox.

 

WS is expensive when you buy it.

[mvp 78]

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

 

Should have been on the opening day roster. Aviles would've filled in for some of the void in OF.

[Cocos Disciples]

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.

 

Greinke is a 1 and Hamels is a 2? How do you figure? Hamels has been way better the last 3 years. Even if you include Greinke's amazing 2009 (coupled with Hamels' meh 2009), the numbers are very close.

[FredLynn]

Get this bum off the mound.

This is pretty dumb

[DocHolliday]

This team has simply been unable to sustain any sort of long term winning streak. I thought they were onto something when they won 6 out of 9 at home. Then they come out west and it's back to their recent history of west coast swings.

 

At some point, this team has to be able to win the majority of these types of games and get closer to their expected win/loss record.

The Sox spend money. They just spend it foolishly.

[jacksonianmarch]

They had an article in one of the newspapers postulating a deal for King Felix. Would you deal Ellsbury and Lester for Felix?

[Station 13]

Get him out *******.

[FredLynn]

They had an article in one of the newspapers postulating a deal for King Felix. Would you deal Ellsbury and Lester for Felix?

 

In a heartbeat.

[FredLynn]

Great. Albers coming in to put the finishing touches on another loss.

[DocHolliday]

Doubront showing the growing pains of a rookie starter again. His innings limit this season is going to quickly become a non issue if he continues having ineffective outings like this.

[Station 13]

They had an article in one of the newspapers postulating a deal for King Felix. Would you deal Ellsbury and Lester for Felix?

 

Hell yeah. Lester is underachieving in Boston. He would roll in that ballpark.

[NativeBostonian]

They had an article in one of the newspapers postulating a deal for King Felix. Would you deal Ellsbury and Lester for Felix?

 

I would do that trade. Ellsbury is a nice player, but he is turning out to be injury prone and Lester isn't what he once was.

[FredLynn]

Doubront needs to be removed from the rotation. He simply isn't getting the job done.

[mvp 78]

Hell yes.

[mvp 78]

Even if Ells was healthy, I wouldn't think twice.

[Cocos Disciples]

Thanks Albers. Score some damn runs.

[mvp 78]

Great. Albers coming in to put the finishing touches on another loss.

 

If the loss is 1-0.

[Reck]

We do not have the talent to be in that situation.

 

Winning this series alone would have put us there.

 

Rays is losing games left and right and the Orioles are not doing much better.

 

Guess asking for a sweep of the Mariners is too much of a task for the Sox.

[NC Sox Fan]

One pitch and we're out of the inning, that was pretty sweet

[FredLynn]

Winning this series alone would have put us there.

We are not winning this series.

[DocHolliday]

Score some runs already! This is getting to be beyond ridiculous.

[NC Sox Fan]

Rally comin on, I can feel it

[FredLynn]

Rally comin on' date=' I can feel it [/quote']

 

Ross singled

That is our rally.

[Reck]

We are not winning this series.

 

Hence: would have put us..

Yeah, I agree. I think that you have to think about what those two positions would mean to this team right now. I good outfielders is good, and will help a little bit. But, the sox have a lot of outfielders who can play that position. They don’t have very many starting pitchers at the moment that is the caliber of King Felix (if any). So, Felix would be more valuable.
