  1. Whew! I thought that ball was going to be trouble.
  2. He's making the same that he was making in his last year as a Red Sox. Edit: About $12 million
  3. I was watching. It went like this a bloop hit, a swinging bunt between the pitcher and catcher, a strikeout of Mark Ellis with runners on first and third, and an IF hit by Kemp where there was a disputed call at first. I don't think he is losing anything. He was still throwing very well even though pitching for the 3rd day in a row.
  4. LL says that there will be baseball tonight. You know that he never lies. He's also whining about injuries.
  5. No, I call you a troll, because you are a troll. In answer to your question, I post my thoughts here. If they interest others, fine. If not, also fine. I couldn't care less if you find it interesting.
  6. Remy thought he was working around him. he should have been walked in that situation.
  7. GFY Troll:lol:
  8. Yaz used to play with both achilles and wrists taped tight when he had these injuries. Some of you get furious when I say this stuff, but is true. And except for the years they had Rice, pitchers were still most fearful of Yaz, injured or not.
  9. ^ I think you are right about this.
  10. It is startling that all of the top 3 start sucking all at the same time and no one has a sore arm. What are the chances that all 3 turn bad at the same time for a prolonged period? They are all still young guys. Lester and Buch should be in their primes.
  11. He's only 28. You hate to give up on a young big hard throwing lefty who doesn't have arm trouble. I think they need to see if he pitches better to Shoppach or someone other than Salty before they trade him.
  12. Especially at Fenway where Shoppach can hook the ball to and over the Monster. I have read that Bobby V doesn't like him. We are a team full of divas and now we are managed by a diva. Tito was not a diva.
  13. The big 3 are taking the ball on their turns. They have not had any injuries causing any of them to miss extended periods of time. Lester's performance was down last year. Beckett pitched well in 2011. In 2011, Beckett was caught by Tek, and Lester was caught by Salty. This year beckett doesn't have a designated catcher. I do wonder how much of this has to do with Salty. All 3 guys have fallen off a cliff so suddenly and at the same time.
  14. I question the 3-1 pitch. Remember that Remy and probably everyone watching thought Lester was working around Youk. I think Youk thought the same. Lester fed him a 3-1 fastball that caught him completely off guard. If you have it on DVR, watch it again. Youk steps out and looks at Lester with an amused smile. When i saw that smile, I though, Lester had better not come over the middle again, because Youk was now ready. Lester did and Youk was ready.
  15. I ahve been posting this for weeks. This guys numbers are in decline and this year's numbers are down drastically. His performance is not about bad luck on balls in play. His strikeout numbers bear that out.
  16. I am arguing that if you are going to give away a player who can still perform at a high level, you send him to the NL where he can't hurt you. It is pretty simple. He hurt us last night-- big time. It didn't have to happen, and we will give him two more shots at us tonight and tomorrow. We are still paying the guy. We got nothing for him, and he is motivated to beat us. It's just stupid. SFF, I understand that you are always optimistic about the team's chances, but rooting for the team doesn't mean that you have to support every decision of the FO and management. I don't think this game will end up meaning anything in the end. At least, I hope not. However, we did lose by a single game last year. They never should have sent him to a situation where he could beat us or impact our post-season chances. If he beats us the next two nights, you won't have to worry about arguing with me, because my head will have exploded.
