Sox fan in Tex

I was looking at my Red Sox Pitching Report and came across Embree's numbers of recently. Prior to yesterday's game, it had been 5 days since he last pitched an inning. I also was looking at Myers' numbers and realized just how great he's pitched. I don't think these guys are getting enough credit. I don't see why we have to overuse Timlin and Foulke so much, when these guys are pitching PHENOMINAL. Here's just what I mean: IP H R ER SO/BB HR BF G/F PC GSc 04/03 A.Embree..... 0.2 1 0 0 0/1 0 4 0/2 16 - 04/05 A.Embree..... 0.2 0 0 0 1/0 0 2 0/1 9 - 04/06 A.Embree..... 0.2 0 1 1 0/1 0 3 0/2 13 - 04/08 A.Embree..... 1.0 2 1 1 0/0 1 5 0/3 20 - 04/10 A.Embree..... 1.0 0 0 0 0/0 0 3 1/2 14 - 04/14 A.Embree..... 1.1 0 0 0 1/0 0 4 0/3 18 - 04/16 A.Embree..... 1.0 1 0 0 1/0 0 4 1/1 11 - 04/17 A.Embree..... 1.0 1 0 0 0/1 0 4 1/0 17 - 04/19 A.Embree..... 1.0 3 2 2 0/0 1 5 2/1 15 - BS 04/22 A.Embree..... 0.0 1 1 1 0/0 1 1 0/0 1 - L 04/25 A.Embree..... 1.1 0 1 0 4/1 0 5 0/0 19 - 04/26 A.Embree..... 0.1 1 0 0 0/0 0 2 1/0 10 - 05/01 A.Embree..... 1.1 0 0 0 0/0 0 4 0/4 12 - 05/02 A.Embree..... 0.2 4 3 3 0/0 1 6 1/1 19 - 05/06 A.Embree..... 1.0 0 0 0 1/0 0 3 1/1 15 - 05/08 A.Embree..... 2.0 1 0 0 1/1 0 8 3/2 25 - 05/10 A.Embree..... 1.1 0 0 0 0/0 0 4 3/1 16 - 05/15 A.Embree..... 1.0 1 0 0 1/1 0 5 1/1 18 - IP H R ER SO/BB HR BF G/F PC GSc 04/03 M.Myers...... 0.2 0 0 0 0/0 0 1 2/0 2 - 04/05 M.Myers...... 0.0 1 0 0 0/0 0 1 0/0 3 - 04/13 M.Myers...... 1.0 1 0 0 0/1 0 4 2/1 12 - 04/18 M.Myers...... 0.2 1 0 0 0/1 0 1 0/0 6 - 04/22 M.Myers...... 0.2 1 0 0 1/0 0 3 0/1 8 - 04/24 M.Myers...... 0.1 0 0 0 1/0 0 1 0/0 4 - 04/29 M.Myers...... 0.0 1 0 0 0/0 0 1 0/0 4 - 05/08 M.Myers...... 0.2 0 0 0 0/0 0 2 2/0 7 - 05/09 M.Myers...... 0.2 0 0 0 1/0 0 2 1/0 10 - 05/11 M.Myers...... 0.1 0 0 0 0/0 0 1 1/0 1 - 05/14 M.Myers...... 0.1 0 0 0 1/0 0 1 0/0 39 - W (Also to note: Credit should go out to Mantei, too. You can see his numbers in the link in my sig, or the link I provided at the top.) So I pose a question: Shouldn't we use Embree, Myers or even Mantei in more save positions? I'll always be behind Foulke, and I love the way Timlin pitches, but when Foulke/Timlin are inconsistent, couldn't we put these guys out on the field more when they're this hot?

Wow...well, that's why we have Payton. I love having Trot on our team, though. Has Francona said anything about the injury? I guess this must had just occured, because I hadn't heard anything about it.

I'm in row 13... I'm not sure how many rows there are, so I'm hoping that isn't too far back.

I personally am not fond of us making any moves or bringing anyone else in right now. I think our bullpen is fine...maybe later on, but not right now. I still don't know why if in 48.0 innings, he's 1-5 with a 6.19 ERA we'd want him. Maybe I'll reconsider my thoughts if there's more beyond stats that I can't see.

I was able to get these seats for the Friday night game when Anaheim comes to town the first weekend of June, so can anyone tell me anything about them? Clearly, I can see they are nice seats: http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/images/seating_views/photo_seating_view23.jpg But I was wondering if anyone could tell me anymore about them or about Fenway Park in general for a first timer to the Park. Thanks.

Oh, alright... just thought I'd ask.

I've been out of town since Friday and have only been able to catch the highlights. Anyone want to tell me what went wrong/what could have gone better this weekend?

Yankee arguments for June: It's only June. Our pitching is improving. Tino and his .250 average is a great player. WE HAVE 26 RINGS.

Yankee Pitching W-L, ERA Johnson 3-2, 3.68 Mussina 3-2, 3.60 Pavano 2-2, 4.80 Brown 1-4, 6.39 Gordon 0-2, 4.50 Wright 2-2, 9.15 Quantrill 1-0, 4.02 Sturtze 1-0, 4.30 So this "getting back on track" thing...when are you starting?

That's great.

Because of those reasons, I don't think I could survive in Cali. I have to have my daily dosage of Red Sox baseball.

Trade him for what? We don't need anything. Mark Bellhorn is playing bad, but we all know he's not THIS bad. We're plenty full at first base with Millar, Youk, McCarty and Olerud. If there ever comes a time where all 6 are healthy, I'm fine with going with a 6-man rotation. This isn't even a problem, though...things will work themselves out and our pitching is fine. Don't move anyone...Schil won't be back for a while and until then we'll be okay.

They don't have much shot at the WC, mainly because there are so many teams in the AL that will finish 2nd, that are better than the Yankees. I mean, the Twins are 20-13 and are currently in 2nd in the AL Central. If the Yankees find some way to edge off three of these four teams, then they have a shot: the Red Sox, the Orioles, the Angels, and the Twins. If they can't do that, they're dead as dirt.

I feel your pain...I've seen probably all but 5 or 6 Sox games, and two of them happened to come today and yesterday. I blame the people who schedule day games (last night I was just busy and couldn't see it...today obviously I was at school)

Nevermind, your subprofile on AOL isn't updated. Your older than 12, my mistake.

I don't play sports besides for fun anymore, but I love playing baseball and football. When I played I was a catcher and first baseman, so I still enjoy that, then I just love getting the ball in football. P.S. I didn't know you were 12, Soxfan#1.

edit: nevermind

For one, we're not just beating people...we're sweeping them or outscoring them hugely. ACL BoSox just said it...we have the tougher schedule, and we haven't had many games at home so far, and we're still way ahead of you. We know how to win big road games, that's why we are better than you. @ Baltimore and @ Detroit aren't easy games and out of those we took 5 of 6.

I agree about the day games...I think we're all going to get fed up with the extremely late games in Seattle, next though.

To tell you the truth, I hated watching the Celtics play horribly also...but hey, I have to defend my Rockets.

Thank you Millar! Walkoff game winning homerun for the Sox!

The thing that could be heard during the last 10 minutes of the Celtics game at the Fleet.

I don't think Millar is NECESSARY to the Sox, soxie thefangirl, but I like him with us. If we got someone, I'd like to see us get Overbay.
