They did a good job of building value, but I think they have damaged that value in the last couple of years.
-
They have created some mess for themselves.
-
Tradition? -- nah
-
And now the mega trade makes sense. They were trimming expenses to make the balance sheet look more attractive. It was not done for payroll flexibility to rebuild the roster. Hopefully, they will sell quickly and get an ownership group in here that does more than pay lip service to winning.
-
I've had my fill of the interleague stuff. They should end it for a decade or so until it becomes a novelty again.
-
Youk with 2 HRs tonight and 4 RBI against the Tigers tonight.
-
^ I overstated the FO effort. There was no effort.
-
And I think our FO was counting on that gimmick to keep the 2012 team competitive, but we just were so bad that we couldn't stay competitive since July.
-
Also, the Phillies have a very easy schedule for the next almost 2 weeks.
-
Yes, the Phillies got back to .500 yesterday, and that overpaid closer, whats-his-name, has a win and a save on Sunday and a save yesterday. He sucks. The Phillies, unlike the Red Sox, are making a run.
-
I like Napoli. Plus, I like that he can catch part time.
-
He's probably just a bridge option.

9/11 vs. Yankees

By winning the first game, the Sox have ensured themselves a measure of self-respect. I was glad to see that they didn't just roll over. I guess they still have some pride. Doubs has pitched very well against the Skanks in Fenway. Hopefully, he can crank up another good game against them tomorrow. Cook will probably get pummeled tonight. -
With regard to yThe comparison that have drawn between the Red Sox and the Skanks, I heard a clip this morning where Girardi said that the Skanks need to go on a run. Where have we heard that before?
-
I read it yesterdy on MLBTradeRumors. It didn't say why. He has an MLB adequate bat with some pop. I think they could get by for 1 year with him and Loney sharing the position. They could get adequate and cheap production from them while using their payroll to rebuild the pitching. The might be surprised and Gomez might prove himself to be a good MLB hitter.
-
They are looking to move Gomez to Japan.
-
He put together most of the pitching staff-- not too bad in a one-year period. His situation is not similar to Epstein's in 2003. He doesn't have anywhere near the talent that Theo inherited.

He's not the greatest thing since sliced bread. That's for sure. He got a lot of bad press and heat for letting Rocket and Mo Vaughn walk, which was unfair. Rocket revived his career by cheating and Vaughn was indeed done. Although he did miss the playoffs in his last 3 years, by 2002 he was building something special with Pedro, Manny and Damon among others. The bad season in 2001 (82 wins) was largely due to the absence of Pedro for the last half of the season, and the horrible job done by Joe Kerrigan when he took over for Jimy Williams. I still think that he can run circles around Theo as a talent evaluator and roster construction.
-
It was such a mess that the prior GM killed himself, because he felt he had screwed things up so badly.
-
He was nothing more than LL's gopher, and yes, he did fall in s***. He also left us with s***, and now his gopher is in charge. Duke had to go when the new ownership took over, because he was not a puppet. He's doing very well with the Orioles. He could take Theo and Jed and Ben to school.

I never considered you to be a pom pom waver. Although you are posting less (we all are posting less), you are still here regularly. My remarks were not pointed at anyone in particular and certainly not you. I was just referring to the overall dynamic of the forum.
-
This is funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
-
Give me examples where i have been short on patience for these types of pitchers. We need 1 front line guy and 1 innings eater. But according to you, I don't really mean it.
-
I didn't know that you fell in the optimist category. I have never viewed you as one. I just consider you to be a snarky prick often times.
