    This inning is a train wreck.

    Buchholz has given up 8 HRs in 7 innings against the Yankees. That is not how aces pitch.

    Ells had played over the weekend. Plus, why is he sitting his only legitimate star offensive player? He is rolling over.

    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.
  6. 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.

    He's been a choker for many years.
  9. 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.

    Yanks about to take the lead. f*** you Farrell.
  11. 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.
  12. a700hitter
    The Blue Jays are trying to do their best to keep the Yanks in a 1st place tie.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.

    I never said that it was a measure of success, but it does tell you something when a team with some of the worst pitching in baseball had no rookie options in the minors to take some starts. Our staff needed all the help it could get. Yet, there was no one in the organization that they had enough confidence in to hand the ball for even a single game just to see if they could help. Apparently, this has not happened for several seasons. It's not a measure of success or failure. You have a habit of attributing absurdly ridiculous meanings to statements. I do think the fact that no team has done this for years is indicative that we have very thin pitching talent in our minor leagues. BTW: the other team to do this is the 2012 NY Mets-- another organization in disarray.

    Jacko isn't a troll. He takes his lumps on this site, and he has been amazingly restrained considering that the Sox are having their worst season since 1967.
  17. a700hitter
    They have not done anything very well except market for several years. That's how a juggernaut like the 2007 team got turned into this rubbish. I heard some stat the other day that the Red Sox were one of two teams not to have a rookie make a single start in 2012. Apparently, this has not happened for several years, and I think it is indicative of just how thin and weak our system is with regard to pitching. That's poor drafting.
  18. a700hitter
    The whole organization has stunk pretty bad for the last several seasons and that includes talent evaluation. I didn't follow the draft too closely this season, but from what I have read, the Sox draft was not very highly regarded. When have we landed a talent like Trout with one of our first round picks. The Angels landed him with the 25th overall pick.
  19. a700hitter
    If we did, our guys would have picked a dud.
  20. a700hitter
    Not that often. Our big mistakes have for the most part been via free agency. We haven't had a lot of our prospects go elsewhere and tear up things.
  21. a700hitter
    He will be a very useful utility player at the very least.
  22. a700hitter
    Yankee demise is always part of the fun for us. There's no reason for you to get bitter with us. Our stinking Sox will hand you the division starting on Monday.
  23. a700hitter
    Not really. Enduring the bad times just means that the jackasses running the FO have squandered the fans money, wasted our time, and taken our loyalty for granted. There is no upside.
  24. a700hitter
    This kid is going to be a star in our division for a long time. He's just a teenager. We have no one as good as him in our system.

    Bard is through.
