... and the cross hairs slowly turn to Hansen.

Watching the Royals broadcast..... It's actually pretty good. It's like listening to two 105 year old geezers talk baseball. I like it.

If you managed the team for a week the bullpen would all need Tommy John surgery. It's only the 5th against THE ROYALS.

Crushed. I totally look forward to all of his at bats.

You really appreciate Tek and Mirrabelli more when you watch Lopez behind the plate.

Well, at least it doesn't sound serious. That's good news. It's also a break the Sox can use.

Best mojo I've seen in a long time!

This is actually a good way to end this game thread (at 400 some-odd posts). http://digamma.net/btfwiki/index.php/The_Kazmir_Trade

Same here. They are getting younger with home grown tallent. Theo has mentioned this a million times. No need to change the plan now that that talent has entered the league. So you don't want the front office to try and better the team by trading young players for proven veterans during a pennant race (Suppon) or you do? I'm starting to get confused... :dunno: How did dumping Mueller work out? He's done. I'm still confused with your arguement about trades. It's like you don't want to give up anything to get something and when you do give up anything it was a mistake. Ok. But those 19 owners have worked out ok in their tenure so far. Maybe we need 25?? They only let YOU down. I don't feel let down at all. This team was flawed to begin with. There was never quite enough pitching for the depleted offense or vice versa. The Clement signing was a bad signing. This was a mistake. But DLowe was an drunk who got 36 million to go to LA. Don't forget we delt off Mirrabelli for Mark Loretta. How can you forget that. And Bard is every bit as good a catcher as Theo said he could be. I'm a little surprised you're not complaining about sending out Bard for Mirrabelli.... I thought the bullpen was anchored by Papelbon and Timlin. And maybe another factor in getting Beckett was that the Sox didn't know what to expect from Schill. I'm actually excited about Foulke coming back. Playing winning baseball during all this transition from old to young. They have the third most wins in the league (tied). Correct. They are making the team better for the next 5 years. Name the "stud" who would be traded here for Lester or Papelbon and I'll get back to you on that. Hey, we also delt Schilling for Bodiker. It worked out, the Sox got to the playoffs for a couple of years but wouldn't you rather have seen Schill and Clemens or Schill and Pedro all in their prime anchoring the Sox pitching staff throughout the 90 isntead? This is the exact what we're talking about here. By 1994 weren't the Sox in 5th place? Theo himself said most were not untouchable. It's just that the "stud" you wanted wasn't offered for them. If the Sox had offered Papelbon or Lester and someone else for Abreau and Lidle, would you be happy with the Sox FO? At the time they were in talks Nixon was not injured. Greedy bastard. You'll probably see another one in your life. Probably much sooner than you think. Maybe just not this year.

These things tend to happen in a rebuilding year.

You do have to wonder about something... How is the loss of Tek/Belli going to effect Papelbon?

I saw that coming. I don't know why....

Papi is the espn Sunday conversation today!

Well, this looks good so far. Tito said the bullpen is ready to be unloaded with tomorrow's off day. Damn, Coco Crap.

Thank You.

game. set. match.

Hansen hold em here and the top of the order is up for the Sox. We got a chance...

need a couple of runners to get those two back up again. 5 outs to go.

MANNY!!! I LOVE YOU TOO PAPI!!!!!!!

Well, you gotta cut them some slack. They are the DRays after all. What else positive can they talk about?

anybody else getting this after logging in to mlb.tv? "Your account has been logged in too many times. Please try again later." Is it because someone hacked into my account or because I had to reboot 5 times in the last 2 hours???? If anyone comes on here and posts ast Redsoxrooter and makes stupid statements, remember, it's not me! But seriously, anyone ever get that error?

A win tonight puts us back in first place because....... THEEEEEEEE YANKEEEEEEEEEEES LOSSSSSSSSSSSST! Oh, and Moose takes the loss.

That was a riot. I guess Kay really doesn't believe in "baseball etiquette".

I'd love it if the Sox got him but I can't see him getting past the Angels on waivers.

I hope it's Pauley - he's got a good bird name.
