actually make that 4 of 10 after tonight ....sure would have been nice to have Todd Helton right now

I don't have an easy solution to either Julio Lugo or Coco Crisp but all I know is...they are the worst players on this team and they suck. I don't know how to upgrade over either player but Theo Epstein got the team in this situation and he should figure out a way to fix the issue.

I'm so unimpressed with these guys... Terry Francona needs to stop being so nice and get on these guys....if they continue to lay down and play with no emotion, they will lose the division....again

f***en suck....Yankees will move another game closer....our lead is slipping very very quickly and we have lots of serious questions surrounding certain players

Yankees are kicking the crap out of Arizona

COCO I HATE YOU TOO

LUGO I HATE YOU

Lugo has a chance to make a great play at SS and make a diving catch....instead he does what he normally does...SUCK!

Think Michael Young will be available at the trade deadline?

schilling is the natural

Of course nothing says the kid can't get hot and go on a tear. This is only the first half of the season where he has 7 wins while pitching hot and cold. He is up near the top of the list in strikeouts. Right now nobody can claim the Cy Young but wouldn't it be nice to see Dice-K and Beckett go crazy and battle each other for the award.

First think I should mention is Halladay and Oswalt are NOT Johan Santana. I don't think anyone will disagree with me that Johan Santana is the best pitcher in baseball (probably has the best pitch in baseball as well). Halladay has injury issues while Oswalt pitches in the NL. Maybe that not fair but it is what it is....Santana is in a category of his own. So.. Is Dice-K the next Johan Santana? No he is not but he DOES have the ability to put up a few potential Cy Young seasons. He has a terrific team behind him and once he becomes more settled in, I would expect more. He has his good days and his bad days but when he starts to understand teams better then he will know how to attack them. Because of his style I don't see it being the other way around. He managed to defeat the Yankees when he knew nothing about them. He is a smart pitcher who knows how to pitch and eventually that will catch up with him, he will have better pitch selection and learn how to set up batters. Right now he places the game in Jason Varitek's hands and Varitek (as good as he is) doesn't quite know how to handle Dice-K at this point. Everyone makes the comparison of Dice-K to Josh Beckett of 2006....that seems more appropriate than comparing Dice-K to previous Japanese pitchers. Wouldn't you know it...Josh Beckett is putting up Cy Young type numbers. Johan Santana? Probably not but a future ace? Yes. Between Beckett and Dice-K the future and present is bright in Boston.

Bobby Abreu might be on the way up but I can't believe the White Sox would make this trade. Jermaine Dye is coming off a great season and still showing that power he had last year. Based on the Yankees issues the White Sox shouldn't do them any favors, and ask for more than just Bobby Abreu.

He really does suck doesn't he. I don't know how much longer they put up with him. You can guarantee when changes are made...he will be a part of it

SEND THE KID TO THE ALL STAR GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEDROIA IS AMAZING

I still hate Julio Lugo.....more than before

Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo......TIME TO GET IT DONE

I'm going to have the biggest celebration when the likes of Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, and Mariano Rivera retire

and I was saying going into this game....at what point does Josh Beckett finally get a loss and when does Pettite's record start reflecting his ERA

I really hate games like this.....going to need a HUGE inning somewhere

We're only going to get Josh Beckett for a maximum 6 innings.....so we need to get to Pettite and make this the battle of the bullpens.

Bottom of the lineup killing us AGAIN
