    The defense better start picking it up a bit...sloppy! But JD hits it deep...gone! HR

    Do you think that management might want try to use Pedro a little bit longer in games this year, to see if he can hold up for the long haul, and to see if he does have the durability for the next few years. In the past pitch counts were so carefully adhered to preserve his arm. But since this is the last year of his contract, maybe they might not be so willing to limit his use.
  3. RoyNHSox
    Most definitely! He's been a fixture now for what, 50 something years, and the new ownership has made an effort to reach out and make him feel part of the team. He's given a lot of his time to the best interests of the club and is loved and recognized by millions of fans.

    That's why you get a producer that has a clue and screens the calls. NESN itself needs a lot of work and no doubt the post game show would be on the list. The Sox are so popular and NESN has lousy people except for Remy (and maybe Orsillo).

    And no matter how you despise the song it has this sneaky way of getting stuck in your head, and you end up subconsciously singing it. It's worse than subliminal advertising...pop the cork, fingers snappin'..

    This show has gone downhill in my opinion. Tom Caron is nowhere near as interesting as Bob Rodgers was (which really isn't saying a whole lot) and for some reason they don't take phone calls anymore. I don't mind the extra analysis, but keep it flowing and not just the same s*** over and over. Eck is on tonight and he's my favorite guest, but some of the others say really nothing (Rice).

    The factor that I see that pushes the wild card to the AL East is Texas. If they continue on their hot pace of April, especially taking wins from their AL West rivals, I see it as diluting the win records of Anaheim and Oakland. Eventually Texas' pitching will catch up to them and they’ll settle down to a below .500. Thus the West will figure a bit weaker overall, with probably Anaheim leading. The AL Central will settle down as well. I'd say now either Minnesota or CWS but regardless, I absolutely don't see a wild card here either. So with the weaker West, with Texas stealing wins in the beginning, and with the mediocre Central, the wild card ends up coming out of the AL East. Just my takes...

    I agree with this, that when he joined the Astros and left the AL, I started liking him again. He's amazing this year, almost retired and now on track for winning the NL Cy. Despite what you might feel that he did or didn’t do for the Sox, this guy is a legend.

    You are correct, it is Einstein sticking out his tongue.

    Finally a win on this killer road trip!! http://www.fanmonster.com/images/General_Purpose/emoticon/banana.gif Good to see Arroyo come in tonight's game and pitch two solid innings. He looked sharp and got his first win this season.

    Walker would have gone to salary arbitration and would have won and if the Sox wanted to resign him he'd be worth far beyond they were willing to spend for a player of his talents. Check out this to get and idea of he ranked relative to other AL 2nd-basemen last season: Walker Link
  14. RoyNHSox
    Well for one, the Sox led the AL in groundball hits that made it through the right infield in 2003. This was a direct result of Walker's limited range.
  15. RoyNHSox
    Bellhorn gets on base a lot, usually via the BB. He works fine in the 2nd spot. Look at the Ortiz HR earlier.
  16. RoyNHSox
    So if the score holds at 8-5 Sox then do we see Foulke come in to close? I remember reading he was suffering from back spasms and might not be available. He hasn't been used in so long that he might be a bit rusty.
  17. RoyNHSox
    What the lineup is lacking is Trot and Nomar.
  18. RoyNHSox
    We all know why the Sox didn't keep Walker: his shoddy defense at 2B and the fact he would have gone to salary arb and won, giving him a ~$4M pricetag for the Sox. It made sense in many ways to not resign him. Agreed his offense sure could have helped this year and he was a great clubhouse guy. (Sorry for my OT rant.)

    I wouldn't exactly say Pedro will be easily replaced. But your point about all the freed up payroll ~$17.5M is true if Pedro does walk. I'm hoping that if it happens that Theo can be creative with the money. The free agency market for starting pitchers in 2005 isn't exactly brimming with quality talent. But through the market and/or trading I'll put my trust that ownership will find near suitable replacements.
  21. RoyNHSox
    How many unearned runs does this make on the road trip? The defense has been terrible lately. Time for a refresher in fundamentals!
  22. RoyNHSox
    Francona did go against his statement he made after yesterday's game, that he wouldn't change the batting order. But tonight’s game saw Bellhorn batting 2nd and Mueller down at 8th. It did give Mueller a spark with a 2-4 night. Tek also hit 5th...a much better lineup than Dauber batting 5th after Manny.
  23. RoyNHSox
    Well in theory it is a nice gesture and one that's never been done in baseball. The reason being is that the Player's Association would never allow such an arrangement. It would set precedents that the union wouldn't want to put forth. And I'm sure Manny's agent Jeff Moorad would object to this as well.
  24. RoyNHSox
    Thanks yawkeyway, Mike Port is a class A guy who did a good job with the ownership transition. Let's hope he makes a speedy recovery.
  25. RoyNHSox
    Hopefully the offensive outburst for the Sox in the 9th was a sign of something good on the horizon. But I did like the fact Francona tried to do something with the lineup. Putting Bellhorn in the 2nd spot with Mueller batting 8th was a good idea that seemed to help Mueller tonight. If the batting remains cold why not a call up from Pawtucket? Andy Dominique or Febles come to mind...I'm not saying it's necessarily going to be the solution, but why not? Can it hurt? We’ve gone through the rotation and lost all 5 games.
