    Going forward, they have to decide whether they can count on the injury-prone Bailey to be the closer. This is what the end of games look like when you don't have a good back of the bullpen. We had a great on for 3 years and it spoiled us. We let our closer walk and we converted our 8th inning guy into a starter and ruined his career. People convinced themselves that anyone could fill those roles. We have one of the worst kate inning pens in baseball. I knew the late innings would be a horror show this year. I am not willing to put all my closer eggs into Bailey who has pitched more than 40 innings only once or twice. They have a ton of freed up money now, so they should shore up the pen with a solid late inning guy or another closer. It's water under the bridge, but the late inning pen from last year would at least have this team in a competitve positiion this year. Meaningless games starting in August suck.

    8th blown Save for this piece of garbage and we're not even in September. Two hours of lost sleep to see the same old ending.
  3. a700hitter
    f*** you Aceves. Nice blown save.
  4. a700hitter
    This ******* is going to choke away another game. He just blows up time after time.
  5. a700hitter
    He did look at it like there was a hole in it.

    Salty swings and misses more than any one on the team.
  7. a700hitter
    Loney worked that AB. I didn't know he had that kind of plate discipline. Salty will swing at the 1st pitch.
  8. a700hitter
    Who pitches the 8th and the 9th?
  9. a700hitter
    And he nonchalants the third out catching it one handed.

    The Kalish play means that Buch has to face Pujols with 2 out and the tying run on second base.
  11. a700hitter
    Did Kalish botch that play. Goodness!!! What an amateurish play. Should have been an out. He broke back letting the ball fall in and then he overran the ball letting Trout go to second base.
  12. a700hitter
    Iglesias and Kalish are black holes tonight.
  13. a700hitter
    We struggle against every team.

    Zach Stewart starting for the Red Sox tomorrow against the Angels.
  15. a700hitter
    He looks terrible in every AB. This is a weak-ass lineup putting up 4 runs against Weaver.
  16. a700hitter
    Not only can't we hand him a starting OF position next season. He may not be ready to be a 4th OFer.

    Mike Port was the interim GM between Duquette (fired March 2002) and Theo (hired November 2002)
  18. a700hitter
    It's worth noting that Lester and Delcarmen were not drafted by Theo.

    I don't mind listening to Sterling when the Yankees are losing. He's actually quite comical when they are losing as he searches for the lamest excuses possible. There's a huge difference between Sterling and Hawk. Sterling is a radio announcer who rambles on about everything except the game, and he apparently has poor vision because his attempts at calling the game are not even a close approximation of what is going on on the field. Hawk is on TV and still does a better job of calling the game. Plus, Hawk has some good player stories. There's no comparison between the two. This is just my opinion. I would not give him any awards for announcing, but I find no reason to loathe him. Yeah he is a homer, but so what. They are all homers.
  20. a700hitter
    I like Hawk. Yes, he is an annoying homer when the Red Sox play the White Sox, but he is a colorful character. He's not boring like so many other announcers. The best announcer and my favorite is Vin Scully. I think Remy is one of the best color men/analysts in the game. None of his replacements while he was out could hold a candle to him. Bob Murphy was one of my favorites. What a great announcer.
  21. a700hitter
    I think that gets it done.
  22. a700hitter
    The 2012 Red Sox will reward you loyalty and hope by immediately going on a 6 game losing streak.
  23. a700hitter
    Don't get too hopeful about this.
  24. a700hitter
    And he'll pitch 10 games for us with a 5 ERA. They need to move on.
  25. a700hitter
    Dice K pitched well. Bizzaro World.
