    Morales was outstanding. He should get some more starts.
  3. a700hitter
    Nice Knock by Morales!!

    Morales has looked excellent in these multi-inning stints. This is at least the third outing where he has gone 3 or 4 innings.

    The Yankees are doing what they need to do--- putting distance between them and the Red Sox. If we are more than 10 games out when all of our guys are back, their return will have been rendered irrelevant.

    The Yankees are on their best run since 1998. The Red Sox are not going to catch them. The Sox have talent but the team is poorly constructed. I don't think they have the ability to go on a sustained run any time soon. The end of July will be too late to kick things into gear. Maybe they can make a run at the second wild card and get a 1 game elimination playoff game. That's about the best they can expect.

    What would they do with Lars when they have Rizzo?

    Princess and the pea syndrome again. He pulls this stuff when he gets within 2 years of the end of a contract, because he doesn't want to endanger his next contract. He's a real gamer.

    There have been a number of key situations this season where the team has had to rely on Punto. I think Scutaro could have made the difference in some of those situations.

    The real shame is that they don't have both of them and that Punto isn't elsewhere. The Sox were not forced to make a choice between Scutaro and Aviles. Getting rid of Scutaro was meant to dump salary to get pitching. They didn't use the money for pitching. The extra $4.5 million would have been worth keeping Scutaro over Punto.

    Scutaro is hitting .272 with a .327 OBP and .719 OPS. Aviles is hitting .263 with a .282 OBP and .698 OPS

    Moss hit another yesterday with 2 RBI. He now has 6 HRs and 11 RBI.

    That's not true. You can root like hell for your team, but still realize that they are not very good. I would think that happens a lot in places like KC, Cleveland, San Diego etc. Their fans can't possibly think they have a chance at winning anything. That doesn't make them fair weather fans.

    Speaking of statues, when are the Red Sox going to put up a statue of Yaz? He did revive the franchise and set it on a competitive and profitable course starting 45 years ago. He's played more games in a Red Sox uniform, had the most hits, RBI, Runs etc, etc. We will never see a star in a Red Sox uni for 23 years, never again. He is Mr. Red Sox. There really isn't a close second. Yes, Williams was an iconic hitter and an American Hero and he deserves his statue, and he has two of them. Yaz deserves his. He should get it while he is still alive. I realize that this is off thread, but the statue remark set off one of my pet peeves.

    Were all pissed off. They spent $174 million on a team that is mediocre to bad, boring mixed in with a few whiners and arrogant jackasses. This is a bunch that is hard to tolerate when they are losing.

    Brandon Moss is back in the big leagues. He's also with Oakland. He has 5 HRs and 9 RBI in 26 ABs.

    The princess and the pea is obsessing about his health again. He'll no doubt shut himself down for about a month even if the Docs give him a clean bill of health. f*** him. We should have traded him before the season started. I had disagreed with that sentiment at the time, but I think they were right.

    I made the same mistake. Until this season, the ticket prices for Red Sox tickets on the secondary market, i.e., StubHub had been higher than face value. This season the bottom has fallen out of the secondary market. It's happening to the Yankee tickets too. It has to be the economy. The Yanks are in first place and the secondary market for their tickets sucks just as much as it does for a last place team.

    This is true. The conclusion is that the Sox are not a good team, and they will not be one anytime soon.
