    It’s all so fuzzy I can’t figure out what Olney means exactly, and more who the 3rd team involved is. The Yahoo Sports article thinks it might be the Mets… It might take trading someone like Manny to the 3rd team in order to get them to part with any prospects appealing enough for the Marlins to part with MC. Maybe it would take something like Nixon, Lowell, and Coco to another team, along with a propsect or 2 from the Sox. The $ involved would probably be eaten mostly by the Sox. Just to put some perspective to all of this, wasn’t it about a week ago that Olney threw out the Lowell to SD idea in his blog, only to have it refuted to the point where Sox management actually met with Lowell to assure him it was all false?

    FWIW, there’s a thread on ESPN Boards where a poster adds more insight to Olney’s speculation:

    No mention of Zito but this is the quote from Insider:

    From the Lugo article: This would be Lugo’s breakout period in terms of a longterm contract so why should he settle for any hometown discount? I wonder if the 5 years would be too prohibitive for the Sox…probably. Until an extension gets signed I wouldn’t count anything out.

    I wonder what kind of money he'll be looking for in his next contract. With his exceptional season offensively and the good possibility of the GG award, he might be out-pricing himself in the eyes of the Sox FO. Especially if they see someone like a Lugo available who is an overall better ball player looking for similar money.

    I don’t recall Tito ever PH’ing for a catcher in the 7th of any road game. I didn’t confirm this but just my recollection. In the game today I’m guessing it was a matter of giving Tek the extra rest. Mirabelli did hit the 3 run HR not too long ago so maybe that too played into the decision. FWIW, I had hoped for a pinch hitter but knew there was little chance.

    Whoo hoo, 4 freakin hits off Haren. What a boring game overall.

    Nice 1-2-3 8th from Hansen.
  9. RoyNHSox
    Yes…JVB K’s Frank Thomas.

    I guess the only positive was that Snyder made it through 6, but basically the same results from his previous starts.
  11. RoyNHSox
    Coco finally gets the Sox on the scoreboard.

    The market for available pitching is extremely thin and even castoffs from last place teams seem to have some value.

    If this is true, the news came out of nowhere. All of the reports lately have focused on Wells' soon return. I see that jsinger's post says otherwise...

    Announced on WEEI’s interview with Tito: Mirabelli in the lineup and Cora starting at SS.

    Kim’s 13.50 ERA was from his one appearance in the playoffs where he allowed 1 run in 0.2 IP. For the 2003 season he had a 3.18 ERA. He came on to be a starter, and because of the need for a closer he was moved into the role. Kim did eventually stink up the joint as the season went on , but I believe it was determined he had some kind of injury, similar to what DiNardo has now. The 3 saves you mention for Williamson were from 3 save opportunities that he had in the ALCS. Looking back you can say that Theo, in his first year as manager, misjudged the need for a solid closer, but the team did make it to the playoffs without one. Theo did learn from bullpen by committee problem and signed Foulke after the season ended.

    Good to see Trot break the HR slump, and Coco having a good night with 3 hits.
  17. RoyNHSox
    1-2-3 inning from Rudy, a rarity.
  18. RoyNHSox
    I wonder what kind of stuff Pesky talks about in the dugout during the game.
  19. RoyNHSox
    Has JVB gotten any time since he was recalled?
  20. RoyNHSox
    7 run lead should be Tavarez proof.
  21. RoyNHSox
    Nice hit Captain.
  22. RoyNHSox
    Time Manny to do some damage to Douche-erer.
  23. RoyNHSox
    Time for some insurance Papi.

    I have a tough time knocking Theo for a lot of 2003, largely because he was first coming to a team that had already been largely constructed by Duquette. The BBC did prove to be a failure but when Kim was moved into the pen he did a fair job in stabilizing the situation. Once the committee was dissolved and relievers were given their roles it did work out. It was a bad idea but Theo was reactionary in finding a solution. I really don’t recall the pen falling apart in the 2003 playoffs. Embree, Timlin, and Williamson were solid, and the gripe was that Grady didn’t go to the pen when Pedro was obviously worn out in Game 7.

    Before you say he’d be a good fit for YES, wouldn’t it be good to know why he was fired?
