You just like to defend a kid with this "rookie struggles" s*** to make an excuse for why he's sucking. We understand he's a rookie, we understand he's going to struggle, but that doesn't change the fact that he's sucking right now. Very little people have given up.

I understand that, but it seems like he's worked his kinks out this year. Who knows? He'd be just as good of a FA signing as any of the others not named Schmidt and Matsuzaka. He's better than Zito, IMO, because soft tossing lefties (not named David Wells) are disasters waiting to happen at Fenway.

Ask anyone around here, and I'm sure that they'd say they would rather have Meche than Clement. No one's asking him to be a middle of the rotation starter in Boston. 5 starter at best who would keep us in games, while Wake and Lester came out of the bullpen. If he sucks, move him to the bullpen and replace him with Wake or Lester. Rotation or bullpen, he's not a bad guy to add. This is all assuming that everything gets done, which it probably won't, but it's still worth talking about.

All I know is that the FO needs to make a push for an impact CF (V. Wells or A. Jones specifically) so that the Boston fans will forget about who Coco was trying to fill in for this year.

I'm a big Meche fan. I believe Theo's priorities for pitching this offseason should be the following (in order of priority) : Matsuzaka Schmidt Meche Probably too many moves to make, but we definitely have the resources to do it. A rotation that looks something like below is quite appealing: Schilling Schmidt Matsuzaka Beckett Meche Move Wake back to the bullpen so we can get a spot start if needed, and he can be used a lot of the bullpen as well. Not to mention how valuable it would be to change the pitch speed in the middle of a game. Go from Beckett's 96 mph fastball to Wake's 65 mph knuckler. It would be baffling. Develop Lester as a long reliever from the bullpen (there's our lefty out of the bullpen), and move him to the rotation in '08 after Curt retires. Sign Francisco Cordero to set up Papelbon. Of course, they could move Papelbon to the rotation if they need to fill the vacancy, but if they can get that talent in this year's offseason, there's no reason to mess with the closer's role. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back to Wily Mo.

It would be nice if Tek would teach Wagner how to be an effective game caller. During the last year of his contract, Tek should spend some quality time with Wagner explaining all of the research he does on the batters and whatever else it is that makes him so effective at making our pitchers better.

We live with it. The FO would never dump veterans that they picked up for fear that they'll look like they screwed up.

He's actually an Orioles fan.

I can't believe riverside sluggers took Tom Brady with the second overall pick. Because of that, I was able to get LT in the 4th slot. I was SO pumped.

Well, he DID say that he saw nothing special from Lester and that his control was off during ST. Look what's going on now...

This is more hysterical than "A Conversation With Yankeehater." What happened this time?

Blue Jays '06 AL East champions!!!

No pun intended with the "burnt to a crisp dead?" Sorry, I couldn't help but notice that...considering Crisp is one of the most useless players on our team right now.

Tito deserves that frustration. He has no idea how to get over his man crushes on some players. I also understand that we have no bullpen, but how the hell he figures he can get more than 1 inning out of anyone not named Papelbon is beyond me.

No! You can't say "good riddance" to someone who was part of the '04 team! You'll be crucified! Exactly. Thanks for 2004, we've said it over and over, but you just gotta go.

Holy Jesus Christ mofo. That guy was HILARIOUS, yet dumb as s*** at the same time Nice recollection.

If it weren't for the Patriots, I'd go crazy.

Trade Francona for Grady Little!!!!! I'm not kidding.

Game. Set. Match. Series loss. Still 5.5 games back. DFA Terry Francona. I wish that was possible

Cora's taking him yard. Wishful thinking.

We've suffered enough.

f***ing unbelievable. f*** Terry Francona, and f*** Mike Timlin. Wells deserved so much better. I'm surprised that he even bothers to go out and pitch gems for us. Keep running your mouth Timlin. You can't hold a lead if you f***ing tried.

TITO YOU f***ING ********, GET TIMLIN THE f*** OUT OF THERE. HOW STUPID ARE YOU?

Timlin blows.
