Based on the numbering system 1-5 in ranking a starting rotation. Right now, imo, the SOX don't have a #1 or a #2. They have 3 #3's and 2 #5's.

 

DD is thrilled! He will tell us tomorrow that he is holding a full house, 5's and 3's.

Where in the wide wide world of sports are you hearing that? Go to the Countdown to the Playoffs thread, and on the next to the last page you will read a statement from moonslav59, our eternal optimist, that all he sees is darkness.

 

I will grant you that in the OP I was sort of up beat, but why the hell not? Yes, the Sox are playing crappy right now and the pitching stinks. But there are still 54 games left and the Sox are only 3.5 and 4 games out of the 2d wild card.

 

Ok you managed to contradict yourself via one post. It doesn’t matter though.. you know why? Because none of our starters are getting the job done. They fail the eye test, stat test.. and whatever other kinda test you wanna use as a measuring stick. Plenty of Facebook group fans are still optimistic. They still call anyone who dares to criticize the team as a fake fan or a troll. It’s ridiculous. I’ll never understand a fan who refuses to see what is right in front of them.

There will be a lot of offseason questions with this team after the season is over for sure.

 

Porchoker 20m & Morland+Pearce+Nunez+Thornbuggy 20M freed up $40M this off season alone.

Angry Lou went off on the whole "at Fenway" fanbase today. It was pretty funny I must admit.

Actually, I may have been too kind in those rankings.

 

Maybe four 4's with a 5 for a kicker? DD is STILL THRILLED. "What a hand"

Not with this starting pitching. The pitching coach should be fired right now.

 

Figured E Rod was getting it together. Granted he’s looking better as the game goes.

A bit surprised at that from Paxton although at some point pitchers had to figure out that Travis was hanging out over the plate and taking pitches outside to RF.

This team has given up...no life at all. Must be very demoralizing when you get ahead or score 6 -7 runs in a game but your pitchers surrender 8-9.

I swear to God watching a matchup between ERod and Paxton is like watching paint dry. How does Manfred convince himself that this is exciting baseball....How....what is he watching...the ball girls when they bend over. What...somebody tell me what he is watching.

Somebody please drive one of these two pitchers out of the game. I am not even sure I care which one any more.

Like I've posted previously, the time clock if and when it is employed, will only be used when the bases are empty.I doubt anything will change concerning the ball girls.

Its not even the time between pitches...its what they are throwing and how they are throwing it. The earth worms in my garden have more challenge in them. For God sake these guys are awful.

Gardner's has more of a Cialis look with his pumped up neck.
Did you hear about the guy who got a viagra stuck in his throat? He had a stiff neck for more than 3 hours.
