  1. Sweet Caroline should not be played when the team is losing. It drives me crazy when the team is losing and air-headed people are singing that stupid song to each other. It is a ridiculous song at a ballgame under any circumstances, but it is grating when we are losing.
  2. Ridiculous that he needs to rest because he missed so much time.
  3. The Sox should refocus on renting Dempster for 2 months. The cost will be lower than the cost for Garza. I am especially leery of Garza since he left today's game with cramping in his forearm. We don't need to buy another TJ surgery.
  4. I think he had a very good season against the yankees last year.
  5. kalish is just not that good. If Ross f***s us, we can find another OFer. There is no shortage of OFers better than Kalish at this point.
  6. Reddick just threw out Horseface ******* at third base. The guy has a gun.
  7. I'm going out tomorrow night. I'll DVR it. I can't ruin ever weekend watching these guys s*** on themselves.
  8. Melancon continues to suck with an ERA a hair under 6. What a great "under the radar" acquisition! It was more like an "in the toilet" acquisition.
  9. It's pathetic that our ace gave up 4 runs in the first two innings to a last place team without 3 of its top 3 hitters. He should have been able to shut them down and win a low scoring game if the offense has an off night.
  10. Our starter dug us a 4-0 hole after 2 innings. It has a psychologically negative effect on our hitters to always be in a hole. It's not the fault of the offense. It our so-called ace pitchers.
  11. The safest bet in all of baseball is that the visitor will score first at Fenway park.
  12. Ranaudo is still pretty raw. I don't think we are hearing about him, because he isn't lighting the world on fire. He might get it done instead of Tazawa. Kalish and Ranaudo might be enough. Salty would be like whipped cream on top.
  13. I would look to move Kalish. He is blocked with us for at least another year, because I think they would be stupid not to re-sign Ross. We don't need him. Theo likes him. Also, see if Theo still has the hots for Salty. I am starting to suspect he is part of our pitching problem. And I would throw in a minor league pitcher, maybe Tazawa.
  14. No kidding. I know. Many a fan has asked them to go in to pitch.
  15. If you move top prospects, you should get a top player who adds to your payroll. I don't consider Garza such a top pitcher. He's not Cliff Lee, Halladay, or Santana before the injury. He may not be as good as Santana is post op. I'd give one top prospect and speculative guys after that.
  16. Punto wouldn't net us a good peanut vendor.
  17. He's never been a staff ace, but he has had some very solid seasons. This season he is not pitching very well, so they should not go over-board to get him. I remember seeing him at some Spring Trainings when he was with the Twins. He had the ability to get inside on our big hitters like Manny and Ortiz and break their bats. I thought that he was pretty impressive in that regard.
  18. Our stopper is pitching on Sunday.
  19. It strikes me as odd that people say that closers have little worth for contractual reasons, but then they are willing to applaud a trade an everyday player who has become an All Star caliber player for a closer. I find that to be a bit contradictory. I am not directing this comment at you at all. It is just a general comment. Why is it better to pay with talent than cash for a closer?
  20. Maybe you just need a shower.
  21. If the Red Sox had made that trade instead of KC, people of this forum would find a way to defend it the way they defend Reddick for Bailey.
