They should play music that is insulting to all of our players. They deserve to be insulted.
-
If we lose this series to the horse s*** Tribe, this will officially be rock bottom, and we can finally give up our last shred of hope.
-
Bring him up to AAA. I just checked the Pawtucket roster. It's devoid of any prospects. It's mostly has been career bush leaguers like Spears and major league wash outs and retreads like Mark Prior and Andy LaRoche.

He seems to hit the ball hard and put it in play almost every AB. He hits to all fields. With a little more patience, I think he could be a very solid offensive full time performer.
-
I think they missed an opportunity to get some value for him at the ASB. He had 19 HRs and the strikeout streak hadn't started. As usual, Cherington is slow to act. His value has plummeted, and unless BC has a mancrush on Salty like Theo did, I can't see Salty being with the team in 2013. -
Salty needs to go to. He can't catch, throw or hit. Is there anything else? He strikes out about 50% of the time. He swings and misses more times than any hitter that I can remember. Does anyone remember Salty throwing behind a runner at first or second base? I can't remember. I don't think he is allowed to try it, because there is a 50% chance that he would throw the ball into the OF. Edit: I strongly suspect that he is part of the pitching problem.

Like Crawford and Ellsbury?
-
We are going to lose to these pukes? We should be wiping the floor with this team, especially without Kipnis. No pitching. We need at least 5 runs to have any chance in a game.

^ it's a shame that the team's most passionate fans have been made to feel like this. This organization is a mess.

As bad as Beckett has been,I still don't make the move, not yet.
-
They should have him throw to Shop for the rest of theseason if that makes a difference. They need to figure out if hecan return to form before theseason ends.

I stand by guys who are in slumps or who have been injured, if I think they still have what it takes. The thing that concerns me most about Lester is that he has been healthy for the duration of the season and he has not shown even brief stretches of dominant pitching. It could be a mental issue that he needs to work out. He gets so flustered over balls and strikes, maybe if he gets his emotions in check he can turn it around. His velocity is down. His strike out are way down. I don't like the direction all the signs are pointing. I'd give him until the end of the season to get his act together. If he doesn't, then they need to part company. I have less tolerance for under performing pitchers than hitters, because they are more in control of the teams fate than a one or two hitters in a 9 player lineup. You can't keep handing him the ball if he can't keep his team in games. This 5+ ERA crosses over the barrier of off year into suck-ville IMO. He needs to turn things around fast, or he needs to go. He and Beckett are making 2010 Lackey look like an ace.

I realize that this thread is about Beckett, but with Lester's 5-10 record and the team's record of 8-15 in his starts Ican't remember a worse season by a Red Sox starting pitcher that was on a team with the top run producing offense in the league. I just can't remember anyone doing worse over the course of a season. Beckett is a damn close second. The Sox need to move on from both of these guys. They can't be part of the team's plans moving forward. They can't be trusted to take the bump every fifth day and keep the team in games. If Lester was injured, I'd say let him heal up over the off season and give him another chance, but he isn't injured. That is really concerning. He has been healthy, and he has not looked like an ace for even brief stretches this season since opening day. Beckett has had some physical issues, but I don't know if they are just wear and tear which will not get better in the future or if he has some issues (like the thumb) that can be fixed in the off season.

No one was more beloved than Nomar, but I don't recall the fans storming Fenway in protest when he got traded. Many people were sad to see him go, but it quickly became apparent that the team had improved. It's bogus to blame the fans for the Sox hanging onto these overrated aging players.

^This is just silly. I doubt that the Phillies are having buyer's remorse with Papelbon when he is doing exactly what they expected when they signed him. What kind of idiots would they be to sign a guy for big bucks to give them 30+ saves a year and then regret having spent the money when they got what they paid for. I don't think the Philly FO thinks Papelbon is the problem. The problem is that their infield is old and'or hobbled all the way around the diamond. Rollin never should have been re-signed. Utley should have been dumped same for Polanco and they should have gone younger.

I think Leter is thru. The Sox should give him until the end of the season to get his act back together, but if he cannot, they need to move on from him. I know that Wins and Losses are not the best measure of a pitcher, but any pitcher with a 5-10 record on a team that scores the most runs in the league is unfathomable. The Sox are 8-15 in his starts-- again, this is unfathomable. I don't think he can be salvaged. He's circling the drain. The Sox need to go in a different direction.

Scutaro with 3 hits, a Home Run and 7 RBI's on Wednesday night for the first place Giants against the Cardinals.
