    Hate to break the news......Curt Schilling is not going anywhere. He is the closer and will be the closer until Foulke proves he can be useful. I think you all are forgetting how awful Foulke was. He was just pitiful. Curt is 9/11 in saves and we dont have any other options. Moving Timlin into the closers role makes no sense whatsoever. He is one of the best at doing what he does. We have no other options, and please don't say "Craig Hansen can do it" because he can't. Trust me, if Curt Schilling can't do it, neither can Hansen. We have to live with what we got.I hope Foulke comes back and it lights out, but until then Schilling is the closer. Please think back and remember how god awful Foulke was this season before deciding he will be a better option than Curt.

    I guess it has been confirmed by Gammons on espn INSIDER that 50 players tested positive and one of the names is even bigger than Palmeiros. I hate the media for this, I am anxious to find out which players these are. And 50! HOLY CRAP, 50 cheaters......if this is true baseball as we know it might suffer severe consequences, this could dramatically change the game, and the way people feel about the national pastime.

    I imagine they will give Nixon a rehab stint, which will take us into September. After that, Im guessing that Youkilis gets the bump and Petagine stays with the club.

    The sense in it is that he has 300 something AB's and is producing about as good as a backup utility infielder and has hit in the #5 spot most of the year with On base machines ahead of him and has amassed a whopping 40 RBI. I understand he is valuable in the clubhouse, but in a perfect world Kevin Millar would not be the starting 1B on this club. He plays 1B and hits in the giant part of the order for an offensive juggernaut which is the boston redsox and has produced NOTHING compared to other big league first baseman.

    I would like to see Youkilis and Petagine splitting time at 1B with Olerud coming in as a D replacement, tell Millar to pack his bags. Is anyone else tired of not seeing Kevin Youkilis play? If this guy is our starting 3B next year let him frigin play. What a waste he is sitting on the bench every day.

    Why do they make so many mistakes? Dale Sveum. Then of course, when you only have two regular starters with any speed, its tough to steal bases. Plus, its just not their team offensive philosophy. Some teams run, some don't. I used to have a problem with the Sox never running until I understood their philosophy. They take pitches, work the count, and slug. When you lead all of baseball in runs the last two seaons, its hard to argue against what they do.

    Mirabelli is a career .242 hitter who had a very good season last season. Even if he hits .200 he is still the best backup catcher in baseball. Who cares what he does at the plate. His importance relies on his ability to catch the knuckleball, which by the way, is something that Varitek had a hard time doing. Varitek actually led all of baseball in passed balls for a few seasons after catching Wakefield. Mirabellis defenseive performance has been outstanding for almost three years. He gets paid to catch the knuckleball, not hit .300.

    Actually, I am not a wrestling fan. Chin Music is also known as a brushback pitch. Pedro Martinez was well konwn for some sweet chin music. Its a baseball term for going up and in on a hitter. Wrestling, is gay.

    Probally SHould have started here. Owell, Im sure alot of you have seen some of my posts by now. Huge sports fan in general, but absolutely love the Sox. I am one who tries to put effort into my posts, I dont like to just throw things out there. Soooooo nice to meet you all!

    The best trade the RedSox made.....was none at all. There was no way to replace the numbers Ramirez is putting up.
  11. SCM33
    Haha, I just remembered this from a few weeks back......so how bad are those A's sucking now? Looks like MoneyBall found a way to win once again.
  12. SCM33
    Do you know how they work? Obviously not. You are either on them, or not. There is no "frequently" issue. You are either on a cycle, or off a cycle. There is no in between. Not using them consistently is like working out once every 12 days. It doesnt make sense. There is a process to using steroids. You dont just take them and all of a sudden your huge. And oh yeah, by the way Kevin Millar and Gary Sheffield have never, and I repeat NEVER played on the same team. Sheffield played with the Marlins from 1993-1997, and only appeared in 40 games in 1997. Kevin Millar played with the Marlins from 1998-2002 and only played in 2 games in 98. Maybe your "cousin" should do a little research before telling such great stories. OWNED

    sigh......please dont expect too much from him, hes a nice ballplayer, a great replacement at second base, but he is not going to win any silver slugger awards at second base. The law of averages.....

    We arent beating up on Bellhorn. Just telling it like it is. Its hard to dress up someone hitting .200 with 300 strikeouts. Dont get me wrong, i appreciate what hes done, and he was clutch, but we cant keep a bad player on a good ballclub just because he had a good year last year. If this were the case we should give Creighton Gubanich or Billy Ashley a call because they hit memorable grand slams. Also, calling Bellhorn a utility player is false. He is a second baseman, period. He would be a nightmare at SS for any period of time, and didnt play all that well at third when the cubs moved him over there after stuggling at 2B. A utility INF can play three inf. positions adaquetely, usually run a little, and bunt. Bellhorn does none of these.
  15. SCM33
    Wasnt GIambi a different number with Oakland where his steroid use first occured? Dont mean to squash this coincidence haha, i think he was number 13 or 16 with Oakland. Yeah, I just looked, Giambi was #16 on Oakland
  16. SCM33
    Picked up, and released hahahaha

    "That's not gonna cut it. 'Cause another team will probably pick him up. Ah well." I dont think anyone has a need for a K-machine who had produced nothing this year.
  18. SCM33
    To those of you who think Bellhorn will not lose his job, or will get an opportunity to win his job back, Drew Bledsoe says hello.
  19. SCM33
    Lets not go crazy here. Legitimate 5 tool player? No. Better in all five areas than Mark Bellhorn? Yes. The next coming of Bobby Doerr? No. A capable veteran able to provide solid D, quality AB's and baserunning smarts? Yes. Lets not forget that the law of averages finds a way of equalling itself out. He has been hot with the sox, just dont be disappointed when he returns to the hitter he has been over his career. If I were choose, Graffy anyday of the week of K-Horn, and keep Cora on the bench with Bellhorn NEVER returning to Boston, its sad because he was a hero, but he has no purpose for being on the team. He is a backup 2B, not a utility INF. I would cringe to watch him play SS or 3B for any period of time. Cora is more valuable.

    They took steroids. They knew what they were putting in their bodies. How could one not feel the effects. Please dont play dumb, Im pretty sure If my trainor is giving me some substance and my bench press goes from 225 to 475 there is a PRETTY good chance its steroids, call me crazy I guess. They cheated, plain and simple.
  21. SCM33
    Gary Sheffield is a jerk first of all, second of all I dont think Manny Ramirez was linked to BALCO like TWO yankees....Giambi and Sheffield. I dont see your point here, we point our fingers at sheffield because most likely, he used them, just as Barry Bonds did. SHeffield and Bonds "unintentionally" took them. Unintentional my ass, Sheff is a jerk, and a cheater.

    Nobody will take Renterria at 10 mill over 3 years (after this season is completed) especially with the numbers he is putting up this year. Renterria is a fine ballplayer, but not at 10 million dollars. Comparing Renterria to Arod is an unfair comparison, Arod is the best player in the game, Renterria is maybe the fourth or fifth best SS in baseball. And dont be so fast to say "we shoulda signed Cabrera over Renterria" because Renterria is putting up better offensive numbers thus far. I wouldn't say Renterria is worth it, first of all because no baseball player is "worth" 10 million dollars or 25 (Arod) but I think that the sox will not be able to deal him unless they are willing to eat a huge part of his salary.

    Calling him the Next Matsui is a stretch. Matsui is a pretty damn good player. I posted that he had similar stats in Japan to Matsui, but I wouldnt go as far as comparing the two at a big league level. I think Matsui is a much more superior player. Dont get me wrong Petagine looks like he can hit a little but I think that Olerud is a more polished player off the bench. I say off the bench because we all know that no matter what Millar will have his fat ass back over at first base soon enough.
  24. SCM33
    AHHHHHHHHH Yeah Varitek weighs the same as Ortiz because Tek has tree trunk legs and a muscular physique, and we all know muscle weighs more than fat. I love Ortiz but hes a fat bastard. Again, I cant believe Tek can be mentioned as one of the Sox "fat" players. There is a difference between having muscle mass and being a fat ass.

    I didnt start any rumors about anyone. I was simply reitterating what was said by Remy today on WEEI. Personally I think Millar may have been on something at one point, obviously not anymore. I am more nervous than anything that Remy said that BIG NAMES have tested positive and will be released in the upcoming weeks. I am just hopeful that nobody on the sox is cheating (and I really doubt they are, they seem more old school than anything).
