hardly amazing.. before you all throw a ticker tape for babe bellhorn.. I have thought for you.. .227

he does have a big mouth. I wish he would just shut up and get healthy. And do his talking with his arm. I seem to remember that when he made that remark about the 55,000 poeple he pitched badly. Less jibber jabber and more pitching.

however els your post can be applied Babe Bellhorn... excpet he is a little lug.

I love manny and he just is waking up. I would be very unhappy to see him gotten rid of. There are plent of other poeple who should be sent packing, and I frankly think he is awesome--and should be our left fielder for the entire term of his contract.

I agree and fortunately..Manny is definitely starting to go boom... Orlando is barely hitting his weight I might point out, renteria will be fine. It's a nice try to deflect the consistent and well desrved criticism of bellhorn to bring up the inconsitency of renteria. However, with yet another anemic night at the plate it really is becoming very clear that we need a a new second baseman, and bellhorn should be replaced. He sucks.

need we bring up 3 strikeouts yesterday or is the fact we won handily enough to think about today.. I think the win is more important.

Ther are two things I can count onduring a season, embree sucking and john being a pompous *******.

I'm sure all of you saw this in the globe this morning, thank God he is trying to work through this. and fortunately he has corrected some mechanical flaws, which should help. Hah, what a bunch of ********, f*** him, I have a suggestion that might help....learn to f***ing pitch. CHICAGO -- It was an odd scene in an odd season for Alan Embree. Amid a three-run Chicago seventh inning, with Embree pitching mop-up duty, Dave Wallace popped up out of the dugout and headed for the mound. Catcher Kelly Shoppach made a motion to join Wallace but was waved off by the Sox pitching coach, who put an arm around Embree and repeatedly, reassuringly, slapped the lefthander on the shoulder. ''A lot of people get on and off the bandwagon," Wallace said. ''He's going through a really rough time. I wanted to remind him that these are the times that make him better down the road. I just wanted him to keep that in perspective." Embree, as a cerebral, veteran presence, usually isn't lacking in perspective. And he's usually not lacking on the mound, either. But, he's hit an alarming skid. Yesterday he allowed five hits, three for extra bases, in the seventh. Chicago plated three runs off him and might have had more had Corey Patterson's one-out single not hit base runner Neifi Perez for the second out. Embree's ERA swelled to 7.00. In nine appearances since May 24 his ERA is 15.26 (7 2/3 innings, 13 earned runs). ''It's become a pride thing," Embree said. ''I take a lot of pride in my work. This is not how I want things to be going." The 35-year-old Embree, whose contract is up at season's end, does not believe that is an issue. ''It's not something I've sat and worried about," he said. ''I'm too deep in my career. If it had been my fourth, fifth year, [possibly]. Don't kid yourself, I have to get it going, but it's not [like] I won't be able to find a job next year. ''I know I'll find a job. That's not just what I want. I don't want to be just a major league pitcher. I want to be a contributor. I want to keep playing at the level I'm capable of, and I'm not doing that right now." It will take some time to deflate that ERA, but Embree said he can deal with that. ''Yeah, I have to look at it [his ERA] each day, but if we're in the playoffs and my ERA is 6 and I'm throwing well, I won't care what that number says," he said. ''I felt good today. I threw some good pitches. I threw one bad pitch I'd like to have back -- the breaking ball to [Todd] Hollandsworth [for a double]. That's the frustrating part -- I feel good now." Embree said he corrected some mechanical flaws in his delivery involving his shoulder and head angle and expects that to help.

I am f***ing sick of this and I cant figure out why they keep using f***ing embree, he gets shelled every time out these days. It is getting ridiculous. he is so sucking bad, it's a joke.

all-star is no guage of anything other than how stupid fans are. nomar was in first place and he played 14 games. you'll have to come up with something better than that.

wow.. I am hearing strains of "stand by your man" while reading this.. very immpressive, nice loyality--the fact that you seem to have made a case for the strikeouts because they arent double plays, I think is the heart of why I pick on mark-- But because you're so adamant and so loyal, I'll refrain form insulting mark, for a game or so, completely ..Starting now I have enough wrath for al to last a game or so anyway (well, forever) Good luck, I hope he keeps up the good work--striking out instead of hitting into double plays..oops, I mean I won''t say anything negative....starting now...

he has been the heart of the team for a while, but everyone gets old--and I dont get into this worship thing you guys do where if they were on the team last year, or if they appear to be good guys, or in wake's case longevity..that means we should stick with them...if they arent up to snuff I say thanks for the memories and what can we do to get better.. In terms of of wake I think it's almost time to have one.... , I think he is putting fewer goods starts together and if you inlcude trhe end of the regular season last year, he isnt doing that well. I say bullpen, and start looking at retirement property for next year!

yes, he surpassed the mighty butch hobson, and should break his recod of ineptiude this year!! I think he's on pace to break 300...4 the other night, 3 the other day and 3 last night. at this clip I'm thinking he might just make it.... again I dont know why he bothers bring a bat...

where's my pitchfork and torch I'm with zenny let's get him!! embree typical dismal outing, comes in boom....a hit a couple of runs charged to mantei francona must be his lover because there is no other compelling reason to use this stiff. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. get him..... f***, I know would were losing anyway, but this guy is so f***ing awful!

he isnt very good this year..so far...a couple of homers, a few walks, an unbelievable amount of strikeouts on pace to break his own dubious redsox record for a single season, more poeple left on base than I care to think about, he isnt very in fact he sucks so far and DUMP HIS ASS ( and of course no post would be complete without a little reminder of how much I hate embree).

I dontknow about that, I think we should conside rgetting wake out of the rotation though

I say keep damon, he is a great player, all heart, and does nothing but play hard. If he doesnt kill himself bashing into walls, he has another 4 or 5 great years ahead. I dont know how the sox could even entertain losing him.

I hate to be the voice of doom , but before the celebration for mark's Sac fly turns into a ticker tape parade.I should mention that over the last two games he is on an 0 for 7 clip with 5 or 6 strikeouts. Before we start thinking he is babe bellhorn, it might be nice if actually could muster a hit now and again. And God forbid that he hits a home run some day soon.. I heard he got a boo-boo on his arm, when he hijacked nixon on a play in right... It is possible his fearsome lumber might be rendered out of commission tonight.

"Counting Saturday's debacle, Embree in his last six outings has given up 10 runs on 10 hits -- not to mention three homers. His ERA over those half-dozen outings: a gaudy 19.29. " from the globe. I say get rid of the f***ing stiff and fast. I hope he never pitches again..god he sucks..... boooooooooo

One game isnt torching. But if he can put a couple of games together that would indeed separate him from the inpetiutde of stink bombs like bellhorn and embree. I wish I could say things like "he gettting back to that this season" the day after a guy strikes out four times in one game--ruins a number of rallies, leaves countless men on base, and doesnt have a good game defensively. If you meant he was amazingly bad last year and that striking out four times reminds you of that, I agree. But I think you mean something else. OKay--I am going to give this delusional thing a try maybe it will help my blood pressure-- alan embree--1/3 of an innning and 4 runs...hey guys stop picking on alan at least he got one out!!

his line was 1/3 of inning and 4 runs. so clearly that sucks. and of course, this isnt the first time the devil incarnate has been tagged it is happening a lot. And while my rage has declined somewhat since yetsreday there comes a point where you have to wonder knowing that the guy is a terrible pitcher and capable of blowing leads -why would anyone bring him in and why after he has given up a couple of hits woulnt you try someone else-anyone else. For some reason tito is insanely loyal to a handful of guys and nothing can shake that--in some ways its is good, but there are a ton of instances where it kills us.

let me ask you guys a question. Is there (proper use of there) a rule in baseball that you need to bring a bat with you when you come to the plate. Bellhorn either strikes out or walks, only four k's today--so he's back on pace. I'm looking for 200 K's this seaon! but he either walks or whiffs, whats the bat for?

embree may not be destroying your life, but he's doing a number on the redsox.

12-6 thansks newsweek, oops, I mean al.

okay. I can say I hate millar again. Hands of f***ing stone. f***KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
