    Right now, we are playing terrible uninspired boring ball. I saw little positive in tonight's game.
  2. a700hitter
    He hasn't thrown more than 95 pitches in any of his starts from what I have found.

    We are seeing vintage 2011 John Lackey so far this season.

    Bells, what is this "the you can't be sure, because you weren't there defense"? A corollary to the "you don't know what it takes to run a professional team" tactic meant to shut down discussion. LOL!! Here is all we need to know about the Texeira negotiations. Henry and Lucchino and Epstein and whatever other top brass at the time went to Tex's home. This was a reported fact. Teams don't do that unless they seriously want a guy. I think we can deduce that. Every good salesman knows how to close. They didn't close. Period. That's all that needs to be known. Their front office had botched a few negotiations in Theo's tenure. It was not his strong suit.

    Whether or not it has turned out to be a good deal for the Yankees is not really relevant to the way they botched that negotiation. The Sox brass didn't walk away from the deal because they thought it was too rich. They wanted Tex badly. They botched it because they had their target in his house together with all the Sox top brass who had flown in. If they wanted him, they should have given him a take it or leave it offer and he probably would have signed. They left and the Yankees who had claimed no interest up to that point swooped in an got him. In the end it was a bad deal for the Yankees. The Sox FO was not right by design. In that case, their poor negotiating tactics worked in their favor.

    Two wins in a row! Lester was outstanding. Good to have Koji back. Lester is pitching ace-like so far. I hope that he can have an easy game soon so that his arm isn't a noodle by August.

    Our offense is helpless.

    Our offense is helpless unless they are facing a position player.

    Ortiz worked that AB and blasted that ball. I was positive that he'd knocked it out of the park.
  10. a700hitter
    They need to pay market if the alternative is losing another star in his prime to the Yankees.
  11. a700hitter
    The Red Sox offer to Lester was ill-conceived. An offer should be an invitation to start a negotiation. However, when the opening offer is so out of line with market ranges, it demonstrates bad faith by the offering party and it is a disincentive to negotiate or bargain.
  12. a700hitter
    Two top pitchers going tonight -Sale and Lester. It will probably be a high scoring game.
  13. a700hitter
    Bell, we have been watching the Sox for 5 decades. It's hard for me to remember an offense that has been this anemic. Red Sox teams (even the bad ones) could hit and score runs.
  14. a700hitter
    The Cubs lineup is pathetic.
  15. a700hitter
    Better to win ugly than to lose any day. They avoid they 4 game losing streak. It's time to get Victorino, napoli and Uehara back and go on a run. Mujica lost his closer job last year for a reason.
  16. a700hitter
    I am going to bed before the soul sucking walk off loss. See ya all tomorrow. This is not our 2013 Red Sox.
  17. a700hitter
    Xander really messed up there and now they will take the bat out of Ortiz's hands.
  18. a700hitter
    He's no Uehara. When will Uehara be available?
  19. a700hitter
    We are being set up for another spirit and soul sucking walk-off loss.
  20. a700hitter
    1 hit since the first inning. Ridiculous.
  21. a700hitter
    It will be nice to have them back.
  22. a700hitter
    What are the expected return dates of Victorino and Napoli?
  23. a700hitter
    The suckass defense has helped drive up Buch's pitch count.
  24. a700hitter
    Horrible IF play at the corners on that play. Nava's glove is useless appendage.
  25. a700hitter
    Three hits and a run to start the game? I must have the wrong channel.
