    He will turn back into a pumpkin eventually.

    Youkilis will get his job back when he returns from the DL. That is just the way it is. Unless the kid has been working in the OF, he'll be going to the bench or back to AAA, and I think that would be a mistake.

    They are about 10 -14 games off the pace where they should be. There is nothing remarkable about that.
  5. a700hitter
    That will be the way it will go with this current squad.
  6. a700hitter
    I think that is a bit of an overstatement. With the schedule they have played, they should be 10 games over .500 at this point.

    That ball was out in a flash. The kid is super strong.

    Bard can blow up at any time. it's not a fatigue issue when he blows up in the 6th. It's a focus issue with him almost every time. Focus!!

    He is improved out there, but he did let a pop fly hit at the base of the wall the other night. A good fielder would have been back there for the catch.

    Our OF is horrible. I've seen more talented OF's on softball teams.

    Sox 4-0? Again I must question whether I am tuned to the right channel?

    Nava staying hot.
  14. a700hitter
    Maybe she would.
  15. a700hitter
    Pettitte is looking good so far.
  16. a700hitter
    Salty caught a popup and Bard had a 7 pitch inning. Am I tuned to the right station?

    There are injuries that prevent you from playing. There are injuries which will get worse if you play. You shouldn't play if that is the case. Then there are injuries that you can play with and playing will not cause additional damage. If the latter is the case, you should be playing. Too many guys don't play in that situation and wait until they are fully recovered. That pisses me off when it is a highly paid star. Football players play all the time with busted ribs and healing shoulder separations and people are beating the s*** out of them. The difference is that their contracts are not guaranteed.

    He doesn't quite have the skill level to have an extended major league career. He's a fill in from the minors, nothing more.
  20. a700hitter
    Don't ask. Don't tell.
  21. a700hitter
    There is only so many times we can keep running Nava out there in the 6th spot in the lineup before he turns back into a .246 hitting pumpkin with no power.

    Middle relievers often don't post good numbers, because they don't get enough work to be effective. Our guys are getting plenty of work, and they have been effective lately. It's a mirage. If these middle inning guys were good (i.e., Achinson and Miller et. al) they would be starting here or somewhere else. They are middle innings guys because they are not very good. These are not young guys cutting their teeth at the MLB level. They are known quantities who have flopped for several organizations.
  23. a700hitter
    Millwood is back to throwing 90+.
  24. a700hitter
    Our bullpen is still a big weakness on this team. Let's not kid ourselves. When teams have a really bad staff, it is very common for the middle relief guys to shine. When your middle relief corp is shining, don't mistake that for a strong bullpen. It's deceptive. By the time the relievers enter the game, many times the game is already blown wide open.
  25. a700hitter
    I don't think that he will solve any of the team's problems. He wasn't very good before his injury.
