    He's not an ace. Period. He may not even be a good #2. He's had 3 horrendous months during the season. Even if we cut him slack for the first two months because he was coming back from an injury, there is no excuse for his very mediocre to bad last month. Plus the Yankees have absolutely lit him up with 8 HRs in 7 innings. That is grossly bad and frankly it is completely unacceptable. As for Papelbon's successor, his ERA is right around 6 in 15 innings of work. Small sample size? 15 innings is about 1/3 of his usual work load. We need starting pitching and good bullpen arms.

    They certainly have a clean slate and plenty of resources to field a competitive team. The only questions are whether they have the will and capability to do so. If they field another 4th or last place team, they will have no excuses.

    The foundation for the 2004 team was built by Duquette without a doubt. As for 2007, LL had a large hand in that. After 2007, Theo and his band of fools were given more autonomy and they ran the franchise into the ground. Theo was a terrible talent evaluator and his entire staff sucked at talent evaluation. The last good talent evaluator that the 4ox had was the old guy Lajoie. I am glad that they recently hired a top talent evaluator. That is a big step in the right direction. I feel for the Cubs fans. The Cubs have 2 of the core 3 idiots running the show there. We have the other one. Hopefully, he will be a good little puppet at take direction from the adults.

    ^This would be a last place team, maybe one of the worst rosters in all of baseball.

    Operation rollover is almost complete. What will we end up with 93 losses? What a disgrace-- a demonstration of complete and utter incompetence and lack of any leadership. I always knew that the FO guys starting with Theo were not the geniuses that they were cracked up to be, but the depth of the FO organizational failure is beyond anything I could imagine. This season pretty much unveils the fact that baseball operations have been run by idiots for several years.

    It will be a crowning moment for a completely s*** season. Thank you john henry and your band of incompetent fools for putting together the worst Red Sox team that I have seen in my life. It seems fitting that baseball will have its first triple crown winner since Yaz won it breathing life into a dead franchise and setting it off on 45 years of mainly winning competitive baseball, until now. Welcome to early 1960's Red Sox baseball.

    He is an underdog type of guy making it easy to root for him. He has increased his power production this year. It would be funny if he gets busted for PEDs.
  9. a700hitter
    That would make for an interesting poll-- first Sox player to get released when the season ends.

    Under 50 innings is looking like a winner.
  11. a700hitter
    What? He just had 3 bad months. Take away the 3 bad months and he is there with Verlander and Felix Hernandez.
  12. a700hitter
    This inning is a train wreck.
  13. a700hitter
    Buchholz has given up 8 HRs in 7 innings against the Yankees. That is not how aces pitch.
  14. a700hitter
    Ells had played over the weekend. Plus, why is he sitting his only legitimate star offensive player? He is rolling over.
  15. a700hitter
    Tonight's lineup against Sabathia and the Yankees: RED SOX (69-90) Ciriaco 2B Nava LF Ross RF Gomez 1B Lavarnway DH Saltalamacchia C Valencia 3B Lin CF Iglesias SS Pitching: RHP Clay Buchholz (11-7, 4.22) Bobby V is rolling over for them. I am sure that O's fans will love this.

    Farrell is not a good manager. He has the Blue Jays running the bases like blind-folded imbeciles for the last 2 seasons. It's been so bad that Omar Vizquel called out the entire coaching staff in this regard in an interview.
  17. a700hitter
    Once it became apparent that this team would stink-- around the second week of April-- Iglesias should have been the full time SS, Aviles the utility guy and Punto DFA'd or traded. We would have had 140 games to see if he could develop and become at least adequate with the bat.

    It would bring me both joy and relief. There is always joy in beating the Yankees especially if it means something (even if it is only meaningful for the Yanks). I'd be relieved because, I live in NY and work in NYC. The joy would be temporary, but the relief would last all winter if the Yanks get eliminated.
  19. a700hitter
    He's been a choker for many years.
  20. a700hitter
    Reddick had a nice year and Rizzo seems to have good potential, but neither are in Bagwell's category, and going back to 1990 is long way to go to find a prospect that burned us big time.
  21. a700hitter
    Yanks about to take the lead. f*** you Farrell.
  22. a700hitter
    I do not think much of Farrell. He has a young team that is very poor at executing the fundamentals and the team runs recklessly. He's had two years as manager. He should have done a better job.
  23. a700hitter
    The Blue Jays are trying to do their best to keep the Yanks in a 1st place tie.
  24. a700hitter
    How bad is that bag of suck Zach Stewart? LOL!!! 2 2/3 innings today 5 Earned Runs and 7 hits. Truly laughable. We are helping to hand first place to the O's with Toronto ahead against the Yankees today. Of course, we will hand it right back to the Yankees starting tomorrow, because we are just a gutless talentless leaderless bunch.
  25. a700hitter
    If you are saying that they didn't bring up guys to help because didn't want to expose them to the "burning cauldron", I'd disagree. I think they just didn't have anybody who they thought could help even though they were desperate for help.
