  1. With a s*** load of strikeouts. Whe he goes on a bad streak he reminds me of Brian Daubach in his bad streaks. There were times when I thought he had been struck blind. The difference is that when he was hot Dauber was hitting .35-- 26- and not striking out.
  2. At least we would have gotten some use from a bag of balls. But what are you talking about. Youkilis didn't beat us yesterday. That was just some player with a big ugly ole bald head that hit that 3 run HR and scored another run. It wasn't Youkilis who accounted for 4 of the teams 7 runs.
  3. You really are dense aren't you. We gave him the opportunity to help keep us from the World Series, and if we miss the playoffs by one game, like we did last year, we can point to tonight. Enough of this already. You are just trying to be annoying. Ignore for you Dutchy, Imperial69.
  4. Getting off Youkilis, has anyone noticed the last 2 years that Lester has a klot of problems whenever it is really hot and humid. He always seems to have really s***** command on those nights. He seems to be gassed on those nights. Is this guy out of condition?
  5. SFF, we got no return. They got 2 names to save face. Lillishit was going to get cut by the ChiSox once they activated Youkilis. The prospect was a junk prospect. He was afraid to say he got nothing. giving the guy the chance and motivation to beat us was just stupid. Take nothing and send him to the other league. Here's the fact: He beat us tonight, not someone else. Youkilis beat us. Yes Lester pitched like s***, but Youkilis is the guy who beat him. Youk was smiling when Lester threw the 3-1 fastball. He was licking his chops.
  6. He's the first player to hit a HR for the Sox and then hit one against the Sox since Hawk Harrelson did it in 1969. You are missing the point. It wasn't a trade. They gave him away. If you are going to give the guy away, send him far away.
  7. SFF, Every season one of these guys goes down and misses significant starts. The big 3 have never each taken 30 starts in a single season. You have to have more than them and 2 rookies in the rotation. It wasn't going to be enough. We have been luck that Doubront has pitched well enough and didn't blow up like Bard. But even Doubs will be hitting an innings limit. There just wasn't enough pitching when the season started. I was worried about one of the big 3 going down with an injury. Instead the have essentially gone down with under performance. The whole starting staff has been terrible. I'll give Doubs a bye, because he has been okay. The rest has been garbage. I felt strongly that they should have added another pitcher. Would one pitcher have made the difference? Not if the top 3 keep pitching like this. However, if they do turn it around, the additional acquisition that was never made might have made a difference.
  8. No, I think Cherries was afraid to get nothing for him and took the only thing he got offered-- a bust prospect who will never amount to anything. He incompetent and a coward. If he said that he couldn't get anything helpful for Youk so he salary dumped him to an NL team for nothing rather than send him to an AL team, I would have understood and been okay with that.
  9. Not a single one of these so-called horses pitched 200 innings last season. You over rate them.
  10. Less of a return. We got nothing.
  11. Edwin jackson would have been nice. I have checked to see how the prospects are doing that were traded for Gio. Not that freaking great. Plus, the Nat's signed the guy for 5 years at $8 million per year. That's a bargain. We gave jenks $12 million for about 6 innings.
  12. I think you are right. Buch may end up being the most reliable rotation guy.
  13. There were a lot of pitchers available and we watched as they came off the board one by one until only Oswalt waw left.
  14. it's great that we have our guys back in the lineup. It sucks that Ortiz is out, but even if the whole lineup was intact, it is the pitching. We are going nowhere if we start every game in a whole and dig a bigger hole as the game goes on.
  15. Are the Sox closing ground on the Yanks?
  16. Platooning a slow right handed slap hitter with a .150 average for the super fast right handed hitter who has been getting lots of hits. It makes perfect sense. No?:dunno:
  17. Being right doesn't make me happy. Quite the contrary in this case. A couple of minutes ago my wife came in the room and asked me if I took some sun today, because my face is a little red. It took me a second to realize that it is from watching the game tonight.
