    Ortiz hurts the baseball.

    Napoli left with illness? I am glad that he isn't injured, but really?
  3. a700hitter
    Valencia? Seriously?

    You are treading on some dangerous TS territory by lowering your expectations. You are risking being characterized as a negative fan-- a blight on Happy Red Sox Nation.

    It looks like Buch will be pushed back until Tuesday at the earliest.

    Papelbon is much better than Bailey, but we have Bailey, not Papelbon so people need to get over it.

    You lose me here. If we have to go down the stretch or any prolonged period of starts with someone other than Aceves regularly taking the ball, we will be in trouble and the bullpen will get more overworked and exposed.

    There have been so many unexpected things this season. Nava's great performance heads the list. Who could have expected 2 1/2 months like this. Iglesias hitting. He has not had a ton of playing time, but his numbers a way beyond expectations. Carp has been tearing the cover off the ball in limited playing time. Salty has been extremely adequate maybe even good on both sides of the ball. On the disappointing side, I thought that Middlebrooks was a budding star who would have a monster year, especially after the 3 HR game. He is hitting under .200. Gomes has exceeded my expectations as a fielder, but he has been a non factor offensively.

    Thank goodness we hung on for the victory so I wouldn't feel compelled to bring up the fact that it was a tremendous mistake for the FO to let Papelpon (AKA the greatest closer in Red Sox history) walk.

    At the beginning of the season, I just wanted them to be competitve. I was hopeful that if things broke righrt for us that we could compete for a wild card. I did not think think there was a chance to win the division. I know expect them to be right in the hunt for the wild card spots right until the end and I am hopeful for a division title, but I will not suck myself into expecting that. If the starters remain healthy throughout the season making 30+ starts each, we have a great chance. I do not expect this, because it hasn't happened since 2004. My biggest fear is if we lose a pitcher or 2 for a prolonged period. I have some confidence that Aceves could be ML average as a starter, but I don't see any reliable depth after him. The other teams (Yanks, O's and Tampa) have had a bumpy ride thus far. The Rays scare me if they can get the back end of the rotation in order. Yes, my expectations are up. Baseball is fun again.

    Bailey was good tonight. He started getting guys out before I vomited. I was only gagging after the single.
  14. a700hitter
    And tall
  15. a700hitter
    Middlebrooks is still struggling. .197
  16. a700hitter
    and...
  17. a700hitter
    Nava has been unbelievable, and Napoli continues to lead the league in pitches per AB.
  18. a700hitter
    RemDawg please get well. I can't take this bore.
  19. a700hitter
    Middlebrooks will blast through the Mendoza line tonight.
  20. a700hitter
    Farrell on Lester: Farrell seems a little baffled.
  21. a700hitter
    So, he doesn't really love us? I'm crushed.
  22. a700hitter
    I didn't attack anyone personally. As I said, it's not always about you.
  23. a700hitter
    It's not all about you. Get over yourself. But since you brought it up, bitching about the players, managers and umps can be an annoying bore. Complaining incessantly and repeatedly about other posters is just something that catty bitches do. It's like listening to a conversation with teenage girls. just sayin.
  24. a700hitter
    It's kinda weird that he loves us without meeting us or knowing us. Don't ya think?
  25. a700hitter
    More bitchin and moaning about nothing.
