    If you seriously think Shoppach is ready for the big leagues, or if you even think we aren't going to resign Tek, you need to have your head examined..and why wouldnt we keep meintkevich at 1st? Your also forgetting Mueller isnt a second basement, and doesnt have the range required to be an effective everyday 2nd basemen. PLEASE TELL ME YOU WERE JOKING

    First off players dont dictate who manages, who gets traded, who gets aquired and who gets fired. Schilling has no control over Francona's job. Secondly, you guys are idiots. Why would Schilling demand a trade? He came from a team that had no history, no future to a team thats always in the hunt in a place he enjoys playing. Even if he wanted to be traded, and demanded to be traded, why would the Sox trade him? He wouldnt not preform because he wanted to be traded, and the Sox would never let him go in a trade the way he has been performing. It leaves too many holes in the team. You guys really need to think before you post. Theo, Luccino, and Henry run this team, NOT SCHILLING. Just because he has become a recongnizable face with this team doesnt mean he owns it. Lets get realistic here

    WHAT POWER? Its either a walk or a strikeout for the most part with Bellhorn. What does it matter if he reaches first on a walk? Chances are hes going to be stranded at first anyhow with the way this team is with runners on. He needs to help himself and hit doubles, tripples, and HR's. Walking just doesnt do it with this team, and batting him second is just plain stupid. He should be hitting closer to the bottom of the order, making his walks more valuable, as the top of the order will have a better chance of knocking his lazy ass in from first

    I know Texas doesn't have the pitching to survive late into the playoffs, but their offense is unbelievable. We has trouble with them in Texas earlier this season, and if we face them as a wild card team we would be playing them in Texas to start. I would feel more confident facing a team we have dominated this season (A's) to start off the playoffs. Let the team that will give us the most trouble out of the two face the yankees and hopefully do some damage to them, if not take them out.

    Great win tonight!!! Lets keep the ball rolling in the right direction. On another topic, right now Sox fans should be praying the Yankees win the next two from Oakland. An A's win right now doesn't help the Sox much, yes even when they play the yankees. The division is pretty much lost, so cross your fingers that the A's get whooped the next few games. We need to keep winning as the A's face relatively bad teams this month. A's Series over August NYY (3 games) MIN (4 games) DET (3 games) KC (3 games) BAL (7 games) TB (6 games) CHW (1 game)

    Bellhorn leads the team in strikeouts and he bats second. Anyone else see a problem with this?? Granted he gets 1 more at bat typically than the 6-9 hitters, but come on now. We need him on base. I for one feel he is an average fielding second basemen with a lower than average plate disipline. We will greatly benifit without him eating up our precious outs the next few weeks. I would like to see Pokey back too for his defensive presence, but not for his bat. Elsbueno- You keep jumping on Gutierrez, but you haven't really seen him play. He has spent a good deal of time in the majors and is adjusting offensively to the big leagues. Hes not bad in the field

    We are actually a game back in the wild card, not 1/2 a game back.

    Never right about anything or first to get the story? Who broke the story of a potential Schilling trade IN NOVEMBER (yes...gammons). Who broke the story of all the Arod trade talks? (again gammons) The list goes on and on. There isnt another baseball analysist out there who has half the credability that Gammons does. Hes been doing it for years, has the most connections to players, agents, and owners. If you want the most accurate information on what is actually going on in the league you would make it a point to read up on Gammons.

    The reason Daubach hasn't been called up since joining the PawSox this season is the same reason why his major league career is basically over...he doesn't produce in clutch situations EVER. Daubach gets hits with no one on, strikes out with runners in scoring position, and isn't really a benifit defensively. Some nights he has it, most nights he doesn't. I don't see Daubach coming up again this season unless this team falls way out of it and has a yard sale.

    Are you meaning to tell me there is actually someone out there who thinks this owership will try to deal Manny after the way hes been producing and opened up to the media and fans this season? You have to be making this s*** up. If someone told me a week ago that I would read this post I would have punched them in the face for lying to me. This is just retarded.

    I like our chances in this one. We almost let one slip by last night (thank God for the rain), but I doubt Schilling will let this streak end.
  12. batstats
    Not so sure our bullpens problem has been walks. I think the bigger problem is giving up homers (especially grand slams and 3 run homers reciently)
  13. batstats
    On Fire? I don't know about that. We won three in a row lets not get ahead of ourselves. We did beat the Yankees which was huge, but its pretty far fetched to say we are destroying everyone in sight when we have played .500 ball the past 3 months.

    The Sox NEED to ride this wave for all its worth. Taking a look at the schedule, looks like in the rest of July and August we have it fairly easy. Nows the time to make a run. In the rest of July and all of August we play: BAL (1 series) MIN (1 series) Tampa (2 series) Det (2 series) CHIW(2 series) Tor(2 series) We can do it

    Boston, literally 2 mins walking from Fenway

    I like our chances in this series. Still would have been nice to see Pedro and/or Wakefield out in one of these games.

    Does anyone else miss Grady right now?

    It's almost as if Nomar is saying he would rather be watching the game from some bar then actually playing the way he has been acting as of late. You see him isolated on the bench, not cheering for his teamates and so on...I for one have had enough with people wanting to keep him here because of what he did years ago. What have you done for us lately Nomar? I'm still in shock with that slump you put yourself in for the better half of 2 months at the end of last season and through the playoffs

    I don't have a problem with Delgado and his quiet protest to the war. He could be out there like so many other celebrities running his mouth day in and day out about it, but he chooses to silently protest. Thats what this country is all about, being able to express your own views whatever way you want. While we are talking about the whole "God Bless America" ordeal in NY, is it just me or does anyone else feel the Georgey-Porgey uses this song strategically to ice visiting pitchers going into the bottem of the 7th. It just seems like something devious he would pull just because he can.

    I can honestly say that I think this team can take 2 of 3 this weekend from the Yankees. With Schilling pictching I am almost positive we should get a W (if the bats aren't asleep). Arroyo actually has a good shot at keeping this team in a game against the Yanks (also if the bats come alive). Lowe V.S. Contreas is going to be a great game. Both can be easily distracted through giving up a big hit, an error etc etc so it could go either way. I think we can turn it around starting today. Last nights game was really what we needed after the day game. My only concern is the Sox's inability to get runners in from third. Ortiz with two tripples in the game was twice left huffing and puffing till the innings end on third base. If the Sox can capitalize on big hits we will soon see a much more improved team. GO SOX

    Everyone is so quick to take the bat out of Nixons hands just because a lefty is pitching. I know he isnt the best at hitting them, but I like my chances with Nixon everyday in RF. How is he going to get better at hitting LHP if he never sees them? That said, I like Kapler. I like his play of late very much. Play him as much as possible. Let him try first out if need be.

    Massarotti is an idiot

    We had problems last year with the O's and they seemed to have carried over to this season. It's really starting to piss me off. We need to win these games when we play teams in the East. We should be pounding the crap out of them (baltimore, tampa bay, and toronto)
  24. batstats
    Whats funny is at the begining of the season everyone was saying how the Wild Card would definately not come from the East, but as the season moves on and inches closer to October its almost a reality that it will.

    Anyone heard any news on Wakefield and if he is going in either game tomorrow? Does anyone else think that it may be best to sit him tomorrow and to have him go in the Yankees series. He is a Yankee killer.
