    no using NL teams as examples, the NL might as well be AAAA ball besides, the Cards choke every year and the Mets are a team we swept along with the rest of the teams they play all year

    whoa, let's still look at the facts. we still have the 4th best record in the majors. this team is still playing to win and this team still has the tools to win

    if I remember right, Pedro wasn't getting great run support in '04. The lineup knows Nuke is gonna give up bombs, it gives them a different mindset. My point is, if you replace Pedro with Beckett right now, the record would be similar, Pedro's ERA would be at least a run lower and run support would be lower as well.

    every team's fanbase (except the Yankees) needs to realize their team operates under a budget, it just happens that the Sox have a bigger budget than any other team that operates under a budget

    My argument for keeping Pedro is more for what coulda been last season. If Pedro is in the Sox uniform today, the Beckett/Lowell deal never would've been made and I don't know if Pedro would've had better than Beckett's 13-6 record right now anyway. Youk would probably be the 3rd baseman, Hanley would probably be at short and god knows who would be playing 1st.

    I'm not picking and choosing arguments. The pitching staff has been the major problem with this team for several years, not the offense which is why I say letting Pedro walk was a mistake but letting Damon walk wasn't. Last season, the rotation was absolutely pathetic, this season, it's been in shambles aside from Schilling and the emergence of Lester. Run production has been a luxury we've had for several years now. Just look at this year, we let Damon go and replace him with Coco and we're still near the top of the league in runs. And replacing Damon with Coco didn't hinder the defense either. So because of that, a long-term deal for Pedro would've been a lot easier to swallow than a long-term deal for Damon

    I'll say that letting Pedro walk was a mistake but I still think letting Damon walk wasn't. 15 homers or not, I'd like to see if he's worth $13 mil in years 3 and 4 of his deal when he injures his back getting out of his car in year 1 of his deal this team has the talent to be a serious contender but right now, it's just not happening and it's frustrating cause it's a crucial time of the year and now is not the time to be losing series to the Rays

    congrats to Papi, another 40 HR season

    the guy just keeps getting better and better and better, what a hitter

    I'm about to leave for a week on a camping trip so I won't get to see my Sox for a long time. Was hoping to at least see a few innings before my ride comes but this s*** had to happen

    anything wrong with Figgins?
  12. BoSox21
    If Wells stays healthy until the end of the year and pitches reasonably effective, how good does a Schilling-Beckett-Wakefield-Lester-Wells rotation look for the stretch run? Absolutely outstanding. And figure Lester moves to the bullpen for the playoffs

    Snyder is fine until he faces the order a second time around
  14. BoSox21
    what a smooth play by Lowell. like butta
  15. BoSox21
    thats exactly where he should go when Wells comes back. DFA Tavarez and make Snyder the new long relief/mop up man
  16. BoSox21
    Schill thought that was gone
  17. BoSox21
    the plan is for Schilling on Sunday night I believe

    Johnny Damon, whose back locked up getting out of a car, could miss tonight's game against the Rangers. -- New York Post for the record, this is why I'm glad we didn't offer him 4 years
  19. BoSox21
    what is that? 3 warning track shots tonight? Sox are seeing the ball pretty well
  20. BoSox21
    the way the balls are carrying, makes me nervous that Beckett is up tonight
  21. BoSox21
    Manny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. BoSox21
    Gonzo with the bat
  23. BoSox21
    Lester wasn't THAT bad. You can't expect a 22 year old kid to throw 8 innings of 1 hit ball every outing
  24. BoSox21
    youve gotta be s***ing me...
  25. BoSox21
    what a ballgame though...
