9/3 @ Seattle - New City, New Hope?

[Taz]

Sox open a 3 match set @ Seattle.

 

Already 0-6 this road trip, will a new city (& with Ownership & GM in town) see any improvement in the fortunes of the team?

The only improvement I can see as it pertains to games in 2012 is performance improvements from the players who will be here in 2013 and beyond. Outside of that, they may be able to find a small ounce of accomplishment if they can knock 2 of the AL East contenders out of the post season.

There is only 1 AL E team I want to see knocked out & that's the Wankees... Oh, and the WS being won by whoever the NL team is. Boston is the only AL team I'll support, and if they ain't there, then I'll back whichever NL team gets there... don't want another AL team to win.

Iglesias continues to show nothing with the bat.

I would love to see all 3 AL East teams get knocked out but that's not possible. With the Yankees recent slide, I could definitely see them missing the playoffs this year. It would be good for baseball to have them sit out for once.

 

As far as the O's and Rays, if one of them misses the playoffs this year in part to the Sox beating them in the final weeks of the season, I'd be ecstatic. With the way the O's ended our season last year with that ridiculous celebration on the field, it would be a good dose of karma. On the other hand, the Rays have caused much misery to the Red Sox in the past few years. It would be nice to see the Red Sox knocking them out of the playoffs for once. Personally, I feel the central teams or the Angels would have a better shot of going deep into the postseason than either the O's or Rays would. Either of them would be the de facto bye week for the Rangers or top seeded AL team.

Ross, stop trying to throw home and let the runner move up. CHRIST!

[Thunder]

Ha, there goes the lead.

[Station 13]

OMG f***ing terrible. We have some pussy throwing arms.

[Thunder]

At least the Yanks are losing the lead in the East.

[a700hitter]

This team is just terrible. They really don't know how to play the game.

[DocHolliday]

Wow Iglesias-

 

Can't turn a fairly routine DP then makes a spectacular turn on a more difficult play.

 

It's ridiculous that we have to desperately try to find positives with this team.

[Station 13]

What a joke this team is.

[Brennan]

Do yourselves a favor and go enjoy the rest of your holiday. These clowns don't deserve fans.

[TylerD]

I know there is no way this team can make the playoffs now, but is it so much to ask that they show a little fight in them? This is just pathetic. This team can't beat anyone. And not only that we're getting blown out in most games now.

O's close to within 1 game of the division lead. http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/images/smilies/veryhappy.gif

Where are all of the people who thought Iglesias was the second coming of Christ and the cure for cancer all rolled into one?

Not right here

I still have faith that Iglesias will be productive with this team in the future. Probably the worst time you can judge players abilities and future contributions is in the last month of a season with the team out of the race.

 

To this point, there is no question that Iglesias is not a finished product. He's been able to figure out how to hit at a respectable level for stretches at all levels of his development. With his limited number of AB, there is reason to give him a chance to prove himself beyond this season - no matter what his stat line shows.

 

Still, I would not be opposed to trading him in a deal that can improve the team in the LT.

[Station 13]

Everyone but Pedey seems to have mail it in.

Are you telling me that our FO would overhype a prospect?

I don't think anyone around here mentioned that he'd change the team around. Everyone just worshiped his defense but everyone ripped on his offense.

This.

[Brennan]

I feel bad for Pedroia but it's nice to see at least see one guy working out there. Hopefully they start to surround him with some guys cut from the same cloth.

[Klare]

Deep in my heart our Red Sox forever. Them three up there... the Yanks I believe miss us (Red Sox) behind them. But however, I don't like none of them . The O's must fall the last game before the playoffs. That' ll be great!!

[NativeBostonian]

This team is just god awful. Anyone who says you can buy yourself a championship can shut up now.

The problem with Iglesias he's never been productive hitting at all , I doubt that changes in the Majors .

I disagree, you can build anything with enough money for the materials. The problem is when you waste the money on s***, build a giant expensive pile of s*** and then continue to repeat the process.
