10/12 ALCS game 1 vs the Detroit kitty-cats

[BornToRun]

We won a world series with Lowell and Beckett though. Who cares.

My thoughts exactly. I don't care if those 2 become HOFers, 2007 was worth it.

[BornToRun]

True that ... just saying. I never liked the deal because Beckett and Lowell were both coming off terrible years and Lowell was a pure salary dump who worked out for us. Look it up. Theo was not with the Sox at the time of the trade. Theo loved Hanley and you can see why.

 

I don't think you're going to find a Red Sox fan who isn't okay with losing those two in exchange for the 2007 WS.

[Brennan]

Well they can't really just wait for Detroit to try to beat themselves, better to put a bunch of runs up as earl

[The Celtbot]

Utah beat #5 Stanford, lol.

Even I'm okay with it. That's saying something.

This is the difference between the mind of a Yankees fan and Sox fan. I am the later but with these two players who knows how many more rings the Sox could have had. Just check out Hanley's rookie mvp season.

That just opened the door for the Duck Dynasty.

Beckett had a 3.38 ERA that year.

Dear Rayovac,

 

I hope the people in charge of packaging and shipping your worthless products are skinned alive with piano wire before thrown into a brazen bull and cooked alive.

[BornToRun]

Victorino is incredibly pissed and has a right to be.

Stop. Stop now.

[Thunder]

Never heard Shane with the f bomb... Until now.

[mvp 78]

Take a pitch Pedey, jeez...

[marklmw]

Sanchez has some sick stuff tonight.

[BornToRun]

Come on Dustin, can't go down on 1 pitch like that.

[redsoxrules]

Yes, we know sanchez struck out 17 vs the Braves in April. You've only said it 15 times tonight allready.

[NativeBostonian]

That was a bad half inning.

[Thunder]

At least Sanchez's PC is at 61.

[jung]

Shane just got caught looking outside is all. It happens.

[Palodios]

Not initially, no. The reason the Sox were eventually willing to part with Hanley was his character, which clearly was (and is) lacking. Also, no Beckett and Lowell, no 2007 WS. It's that simple.

 

Funny that they traded Hanley for Beckett because of character issues.HAAAA

[BornToRun]

Really bad at bats for Pedey and Shane. We need to make him work more than that.

[Thunder]

Take a pitch Pedey, jeez...

 

I'm hoping that was sarcasm.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Dear Rayovac,

 

I hope somebody pumps your entire s***** HQ with poison gas and then blows it to smithereens with everyone inside.

[RedSoxNC84]

51 pitches in the first 2.. 10 pitches in the 3rd.....

McCarver's wearing a scarf because he's wearing the same shirt as Buck.

Probably none, given the fact that Sanchez was pedestrian (and missed nearly a full season with elbow injuries) considering he pitched in the NL East and was outperformed by Beckett in most of the years he was under Marlins control anyways. Hanley ended up imploding in Miami. What makes you think he could've handled the Boston spotlight?

 

This is all hindsight anyways.

McCarver's wearing a scarf because he's a befuddled old loon who thinks he's ice skating right now.

Hate to say it, but I think I'm right.

Mike Lowell deserves some credit too. His 2007 was pretty friggin amazing if I remember correctly.

[Thunder]

Miggy looks like Papi running to first.
