    He has an 8.70 ERA and has allowed 30 Runs in 30 innings, while allowing 47 Hits for an opposing .353 avg. Maybe sign him to a minor league contract (if he'll accept that) and have him work out any mechanics thats messing him up
  2. riverside sluggers
    I guess you guys didnt like his comment "Sometimes we win games, sometimes we lose games. Oh well"
  3. riverside sluggers
    its not like they need a catcher, Victor Martinez is just 28 and he's locked away for awhile
  4. riverside sluggers
    Good to see the Sox get this nice 4 game winning streak after Oakland took 3 out of 4. Especially because the next 2 games I have my fingers crossed Kyle Snyder vs Jamie Moyer Kason Gabbard vs Felix Hernandez

    Wade Miller was a has been for the Sox, I dont even care if he ever comes back to pitch against the Sox. I dont give standing O's to just any player who has worn a Sox uni. Its apples & oranges of what the 2 had contributed Sorry but I applauded him for the 2nd half he gave the Sox last season. He solidified the 2nd base positon left vacant by the Strikeout King Bellhorn, and was just a spark to the offense

    I think he's just relaying to the power outage Nixon has, longest # of ABs since last HR for a Red Sox starter
  7. riverside sluggers
    poor game from Crisp today, 0 for 5, 2 Ks
  8. riverside sluggers
    Wickman being their main guy to close games and all, kind of surprised they settled for a single A catcher. :dunno:

    Welcome back Wily Mo :thumbsup: he's picking up where he left off- 2 for 3, Double, 2 RBIs, Walk And are my eyes being deceived, but the Tek we know seems to be back after the All-Star Break-- 8 for 22, 2 Doubles, 3 RBIs
  10. riverside sluggers
    ouch 2 baserunning gaffes by Loretta. He evens it out by going 3 for 4, his latest hit being a clutch 2 out RBI. His defensive play to save Schilling as well
  11. riverside sluggers
    He was given the green light from the dugout. The only player that calls his own green light is Papi, according to Tito

    Ok a good reasoning here boston globe http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/ Mike Lowell was going to bat 3rd today, but he came to the park with a stomach virus and was reportedly vomiting. Also on Wakefield: Terry's best assumption is that he'll be out for 4 weeks, 3 at best. Id be surprised if Theo doesnt get a starter through trade

    I was at the game and sat behind the visitors dugout. As "schillingouttheKs' mentioned, there was barely any clapping. Me and my friend started to just stand up and cheer out when his name was announced. Sadly we were only ones and people around us were giving us that impression like when in a cartoon, all you can hear is crickets IMO people put way too much into his error in game 2. White Sox wouldve still beat our boys, they were the better team. Maybe if his error came in the deciding game but it didnt, it came in the 4th inning of game 2. What a hack!! What about Clement setting the tone with the worst start by a Sox pitcher in the ALDS? Wells 1 out later after Graff's error had served up a meatball of a pitch to Iguchi? How about lack of offense, El Duque protecting a 1 run lead and getting out of bases loaded/no outs? At least the Fenway Faithful gave him his due when his name was announced before game 3

    He has had 4 bad starts out of his first 20 which has skewed his ERA 9 runs vs Cleveland in 3.2 innings 7 runs vs Toronto in 4 innings 8 runs (7 ER) vs New York in 1.1 inning 7 runs vs Oakalnd in 4.1 innings Today on WEEI said without those 4 bad starts, he would right now be 12-1 with a 2.99 ERA
  16. riverside sluggers
    The fact of the matter is that he used to be RJ's personal catcher in Arizona, which probably helped them give him a paycheck
  17. riverside sluggers
    The 4th year is worth $12 million if Beckett makes 28 starts in 2009 or a combined 58 starts in 08 & 09
  18. riverside sluggers
    Rotoworld writers have a short memory. Mirabelli caught Beckett's game against Chicago, in which he gave up 5 runs on the strength of 3 big-flies. So its not the catcher thats been the problem. Anyways... Varitek or not behind the plate, this looks like the beginning of Beckett's rebirth this season. Granted it was the Royals but this could be the spark that gets him going. The 3/4 year extension probably will help as well
  19. riverside sluggers
    The ceiling is higher for Beckett than it is for Arroyo, hard to even think about the Sox trading him away
  20. riverside sluggers
    Pedroia is at shortstop every 3rd day just moreso to be an insurance policy in case a middle infielder goes down this season. He's more than likely to take over the reigns at 2nd base, with Loretta in his age 35 season. Gonzalez is just 30 and is delivering them defense so he has the edge to stay
  21. riverside sluggers
    Now just need to re-sign Alex Gonzalez. That will probably come in the offseason, Im guessing after he wins the 06 gold glove
  22. riverside sluggers
    Its not like Alvarez has been lighting it up in Pawtucket. He has been struggling mightily since he was last sent down, losing his last 6 decisions. Gabbard's last 2 starts he has rebounded nicely (10.2 innings, 2 runs) after being tossed around in his first 3 starts. In Portland he was down right dominant. Like Alvarez, he's a lefty pitcher. However unlike Alvarez, he is known to be a groundball pitcher and use that gold glove defense behind him. It is too early to call him up but he is the best internal option the Sox have.
  23. riverside sluggers
    Meche IMO is the best of those 3 Just not sold on Redman, he also does have a history of bad 2nd halfs. His ERA in September is close to 7
  24. riverside sluggers
    http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/extras/extra_bases/2006/07/wakefield_has_f.html I just think that he's going to be out for more than 15 days
  25. riverside sluggers
    Yeah, he sucked today. Considering that the Sox offense has been struggling this month and have scored 22 runs in the past 7 games... that only helped Mark Redman. Him in the AL East/Playoffs is not a good bet
