Admitting they are not a door mat does not equate to being a WS caliber team. They are not a door mat, and they have as much talent as any team in the division. That's why only a few games separates the entire division.
-
It's your interpretation that people are saying his invincible. I am not getting that at all. Even a diminished Papelbon, would not blow up a game the way Bailey does. Paps usually needs some help from a fielding error or a seeing eye base hit. He has given up HRs at a higher rate than usual, but I think he is a guy who will figure it out and adjust. He's not invincible. He's consistent and reliable, not invincible. That's what has made him a great closer.
-
Take that Mel Gibson. As for Ike Davis, he needs a Jesus miracle, because he hits like a blind man.
-
SFF, no one has made the argument that he is invincible. He is very consistent from year to year. Youi can practically pencil in his numbers. A bad fielding team assisted in his last 2 blown saves with unearned runs. His K numbers are down right now, but I think he will adjust after these struggles and put up Papelbon numbers.
-
As I said, Paps in his prime blows away 3 batters in a row. This Paps gave up a single and hit a batter, but the tying run did score on a passed ball with 2 outs. Hopefully, his struggles have lowered his price.
-
He has had a s*****, but his 3rs BS was caused by an error and last night he came in with men on 2nd and 3rd with no one out. The Papelbon of his prime blows away the next 3 batters. Maybe we can get him cheap. Even a diminished Paps is a ton better than what we have.

So, you were wrong about him... Right? Just clarifying, because some people here really get off on people saying they were wrong.. For me, the fact that you said that he has been "better than expected" was sufficient.
-
Yep, yep. Sure. You win.
-
I am pretty sure that I know who it is.
-
He has performed as most people had hopede he would. The AL and ALE has not caused him to implode as some had feared. A mid 4 ERA and 200 innings would be very helpful to this teams chances.
-
He's a good ballplayer, but it seem that everytime he goes hard in the field or on the bases he comes up lame.
-
It was you who said that you didn't understand me. I never said that I didn't understand SFF. Fool.
-
I'm not surprised.
-
Clearly this proves that Bailey = Papelbon
-
Sometimes it isn't worth the effort.
-
And Bard is making $1.8 million this season.
-
Rooming with Bard (when he gets off the DL) might help Bailey.
-
Maybe Bailey will get sent down and room with Bard.
-
The foundation of the Red Sox staff is Lester and Buchholz IMO.
-
Yes, I do think that they pitching is starting to crack and crumble, emphasis on "starting to." Lester has turned into a pumpkin, and I don't think it will get much better. Buchholz is on the DL. We have to hope that whatever this injury is that it doesn't linger. Without those two guys anchoring the top of the rotation, the pitching staff will be tremendously stressed and the pen will get overused and burn out. Morales is in the midst of a lost season. Bailey was a waste. Hanrahan made a guest appearance. Yes, if you look at the staff with a critical eye, the cracks are quite noticeable. Lackey is holding up his end, and we will need him to continue to do so. Doubront will have to stay strong too.
-
Fred, don't get too worked up. You let them get your hopes up. I am just enjoying them being competitive after last year's trainwreck, but I don't have any big expectations of this team. The foundation of the pitching staff is starting to crack and crumble.
-
Morales is reportedly getting an MRI and is expected to be DL'd again with shoulder problems. The bullpen is disintegrating rapidly. Morales was also supposed to be a depth option for starting. Right now, the only good depth option is Aceves.

It doesn't matter to me who he is. The only reason I am viewing your posts today is to talk some trash to you today. Your sports posts hold zero interest for me. -

Really. You call me a cheater and say that my team is still not a threat, but when a wager is proposed to make things interesting, you ran and hid. You should have hid. My team was cleaning your clock all week. You are lucky that my closers s*** themsleves on Saturday or you would have won only a single category. In Fantasy leagues that is called trash talk or smack talk. I would have thought you would have heard of it especially since you are such a big time fantasy sportswriter. Anyway, you can probably get something over the counter for your burning rectum. I'm not sure there is anything over the counter for your anger issues.
