As usual red sox look as bad as 2012

[joeycaps]

Ben thinks he can shop bargain basement and have close to the success of last year. Fact is he and farrell got lucky, that bargain mentality may work once in a while but not every year. Jackie Bradley belongs in pawtuckett, Dubront has no business being a starter on any team, hes strictly bullpen material, john farrel made many bad decesions last year but got lucky, this year allowing dubront to start is a joke and blame farrell and ben, ben for thinking they didn't need starting pitching this off season. In 2012 the sox stunk because the starting pitching stunk. This year the (except lackey) starters are pitiful, the defense with some exceptions stink, the offense stinks. Farrell wont get lucky this year with all his mistakes, and Ben needs to stop bargain hunting. Edited April 25, 2014 by joeycaps

He has his really good games and really bad ones, he is not the great pitcher he thin k s he is. He thinks hes in the verlander and schuzer class which he isnt, and because he is inconsistent he is good, but far from great,

 

Lester would be a great # 3 starter, really good #2, but ive never seen him as a # 1.

 

Lackey if he was younger he would be my choice for # 1

Yes I love it when new people post chicken little threads! BEN THE BOOB!!!!

Well were in the youth movement now. Weve got to ride it out for awhile at least. Worse thing to me though is lack of a true ace right now. And if Middlebrooks doesnt contribute, theyll be chants of Drew.

 

The good thing is that we can still make some moves. We have plenty of talent and prospects to trade.

Could the thread title make any less sense? Like, mathematically?

I think it's too early to draw any conclusions. Sure they were lucky last year. You have to be lucky to go all the way.

They started off last year losing two(!) closers. Not so lucky. But then they discovered one closer--their setup guy--who turned out to be one of the best in the business. Very lucky.

 

Regardless of how they play this year, the odds are heavily against a team repeating. It doesn't happen. What does happen is another team gets anointed to play Cinderella. It isn't clear yet which team it will be. I keep thinking the Os are due to make a run.

lmao it's April, get a life.. If they are under .500 come July then I'll worry about their chances more.

I remember thinking one time in 2001 "this team, as usual, is as bad as the 2012 sox"

[jacksonianmarch]

I disagree, I think they look more like the 2037 sox

[mvp 78]

As usual Talksox look as bad as two days ago

Lulz.

 

Maybe Suns is back with another user name?

You should invest in this.

Just think of the reaction if we hadn't won a championship in 86 years. Too early to be in PANIC MODE. I usually use July 4th as the date to judge what is working and what is not. Need to relax or you won't make it to September. It is a long season and as.
