    No team is taking control of the division. Every team is very much alive.

    Fred, I guess you had to get that off your chest. Bailey is not a serviceable closer for this team. Changes will be made immediately, so don't worry about a collapse just yet. Lackey has been a big bright spot. A solid rotation is the biggest key. They need to find a guy to lock down games at the end.

    In his final season with us, Slocumb was the equivalent of a forfeit.
  4. a700hitter
    Slocumb netted us two huge pieces to the final puzzle. Amazing. That was the best Red Sox trade in my lifetime.

    OMG, your obsession with Papelbon is unhealthy... just sayin.
  6. a700hitter
    His out-pitch was his slider, but he can't throw that anymore I guess because it causes strain on his elbow.

    Bailey is like a re-run of Heathcliff Slocumb if anyone here remembers that bum.

    Tom Caron to Jim Rice. If the Red Sox have a 1 run lead in the 9th inning tomorrow night" Jim Rice without missing a beat: "No." This bum has already given up 6 HRs -- a career high.

    No ballpark is big enough for this guy.

    Bradford on Bailey: "He runs into problems with his fastball. He gets too amped up. After two batters, Bradford on Bailey: "I think you'll be seeing changes before too long." Amped up? How about he sucks a bag full of dicks!!
  11. a700hitter
    Two batter two runs. Game over. Put a loss in the books. Don't worry fellas. He's a proven closer just going through a rough patch. Yeah f***ing right.
  12. a700hitter
    This is a huge opportunity for Bailey to take the glare of attention off of himself. It's a big ballpark. They have to crush it to knock it out of the yard. The big hitters are out of the way

    I hope you are right. Every time I get encouraged and think he has turned a corner, he goes back into the funk.
  14. a700hitter
    Once you start finding positives in occasional hard hit outs, you are well down the path of failure.

    After his last AB, Middlebrooks is batting .192. Good God!! How long can they stick with him?
  16. a700hitter
    I'm not laughing.
  17. a700hitter
    Nice running catch by Jackson.
  18. a700hitter
    I wouldn't know where to start.
  19. a700hitter
    No need to yell. I wasn't refering to you. Plus, I have already conceded the Papelbon vs. Bailey debate. I gave up hours ago.
  20. a700hitter
    I would have been pretty upset if the Sox were 10 games under .500.
  21. a700hitter
    You had to re-type that rather than quote it, because it is not in this thread... right?
  22. a700hitter
    No he didn't.
  23. a700hitter
    I don't think Tazawa has the raw overpowering stuff to be a closer. He always had good command from an early age, and he has decent secondary pitches. I just don't think he has dominating closer stuff. As for Uehara, I have never understood how he can throw 89 mph fastballs by hitters, but he does. I like him as a late inning arm, but I don't trust his stuff enough to have him close on a regular basis. Miller has overpowering stuff, and when he has his stuff together, he can be untouchable. His problem is having consistent command of his stuff. Of the internal options, he would be the first trial at closer. The second option would be Alex Wilson. I have liked what I have seen from him in his appearances.
  24. a700hitter
    He'd prefer to just be disagreeable and insulting.
  25. a700hitter
    He's not new. Dutch has been banned under at least a couple of usernames since Papelbon left the Sox.
